Mai 2015 15:53:03 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extended to June 15: ETT Special Issue on "Emerging Topics in Device to Device Communications as Enabling Technology for 5G Systems" 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… Deadline: June 15 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. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1541-8251/homepage/For…).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] CFP: Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on the Internet of Things: Research challenges and Solutions Datum: Tue, 12 May 2015 14:21:01 +0200 Von: Eleonora Borgia <comcomsi_iot_publicity(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it Our apologies for multiple copies of this CfP. ============================================================================= Call for Papers Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on the Internet of Things: Research challenges and Solutions ============================================================================= Scope ----- Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an emerging paradigm that seamlessly integrates a large number of smart objects with the Internet interlinking the physical and the cyber worlds and keeping them in a tight and continuous interaction. The envisioned paradigm will need to address significant complexity. On the one hand, billions of smart objects will be immersed in the environment, sensing, interacting, and cooperating with each other to enable efficient services that will bring tangible benefits to the environment, the economy and the society as a whole. On the other hand, they will be extremely diverse and heterogeneous in terms of resource capabilities, lifespan and communication technologies, further complicating the scenario. As a result, new problems and challenges arise spanning different areas: architecture, communication, addressing, discovery, data and network management, power and energy storage, security and privacy, to cite a few. Classic Internet approaches are not sufficient to solve these unprecedented issues, and need to be revised to address the complex requirements imposed by IoT. This paves the way for the development of intelligent algorithms, novel network paradigms and new services. The objective of this special issue is to seek high-quality and unpublished papers that push the research in all the facets of IoT. Contributions may present and solve open technical problems, integrate novel solutions efficiently, and focus on the performance evaluation and comparison with existing standards. Theoretical as well as experimental studies for typical IoT use cases (e.g., smart city, smart home/building, smart grid, transportation, eHealth/mHealth) are encouraged. High-quality review and survey papers are welcomed. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: o Cyber-physical and other IoT systems architectures o Network architecture and system design in IoT o Addressing and naming in IoT o Programming models for the IoT o IoT and Cloud computing o Integration with existing standards and protocols (e.g., RPL, 6LoWPAN, CoAP, MQTT) o Data management in IoT o Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in IoT o Energy efficient management and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M objects o Information centric network for IoT o Social networks for IoT o Context-awareness for IoT o IoT traffic characterization o Privacy, Security and Trust for IoT o Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios o Testbed, prototype, and practical systems for IoT use cases Schedule -------- o Title and abstract due date (by email to comcomsi_iot at iit.cnr.it): June 1, 2015 o Full paper submission deadline: June 15, 2015 o First author notification: October 15, 2015 o Revised paper due: December 15, 2015 o Final author notification: January 31, 2016 o Expected publication: Summer 2016 Guest Editors ------------- Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Danielo G. Gomes, Universidade Federal do Ceara', Brazil Brent Lagesse, University of Washington, USA Rodger Lea, University of British Columbia, Canada Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper, with at least 30% of novel contributions. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found (see http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-communications/0140-3664/guide-fo…).

-------- 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, 12 May 2015 13:20:18 +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>. Authors should select "SI: SWANSITY", from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu during the submission process.

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. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Experiences with sensor hardware integration - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Smart infrastructure support with wireless sensing technology - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence and sensors to perform required operations. They must be able to wirelessly communicate with other nodes or remote centre in their network, exchanging information and receiving instructions in a reliable and secure way. They must be autonomous, capable of managing the energy resources in order to extend their lifetime span. Considered objects may include everything from lightweight sensors to smart-gadgets like smartphones and wearable devices. The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. But even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings. The SMARTOBJECTS workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena. Topics: ======= • App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms • Communication between mobile devices and cars • Communication for drone coordination • Content Distribution • Data collection, organization and dissemination methods • Data replication protocols in network partitions • Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches • Deployment and field testing • Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Human-object interaction • Innovative services and applications for mobile devices in vehicles • Location- and track-based services in cars • Mobile service architectures and frameworks • Mobility and handover management • New application scenarios for vehicular communications • Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT • Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices • Privacy issues and solutions • Protocol design, testing and verification • Security issues, architectures and solutions • Sensor-networks in vehicles • Sensors & Data Collection • Smart cities and urban applications • Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones/UAVs • Swarm movement, coordination, and behaviour • Wireless in-vehicle networks Papers Submission Instructions: =============================== SMARTOBJECTS invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CHANTS 2015 - ACM MobiCom 2015 Workshop on Challenged Networks: 2nd CFP Datum: Fri, 8 May 2015 15:21:55 +0200 Von: Karin Anna Hummel <karin.hummel(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * 2nd Call for Papers * * CHANTS 2015 * 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks * * http://www.acm-chants.org/ * (co-located with MobiCom 2015) * * Paris, France * September 11, 2015 * * Submission due: May 25, 2015 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ========= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. Challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, and opportunistic and participatory sensing. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE’s D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the nine previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work, including studies of real deployment. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. All papers shall be forward looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network coding in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, IoT) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing. PAPER SUBMISSION ================= Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Reviews will be single blinded.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers - WONS 2016 Datum: Mon, 04 May 2015 12:39:46 +0200 Von: Michele Segata <msegata(a)disi.unitn.it> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear WONS Author, below you find the Call for Papers for next year's edition of WONS 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. 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.
