This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making 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, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/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 * 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 * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. 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. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)!

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Call for papers: Special Issue on Community Networks - Elsevier Computer Networks Journal Datum: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:48:55 +0200 Von: felix(a)ac.upc.edu An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-…> Community networking is an emerging model for the Future Internet where communities of citizens build, operate and own open IP-based networks, forming a key infrastructure for individual and collective digital participation. Although community-based networks often extend or complement the coverage of networks of commercial ISPs, they differ in several key aspects. There is usually no central authority that is responsible for a precise network planning; a community network grows organically. Support is decentralized and open, provided by the community to the community. The network nodes are often inexpensive off-the-shelf equipment and the network elements exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in the hardware, software, and capacity. The entire network infrastructure belongs to the users and is shared to build the network. The network is very dynamic: the number of nodes may rapidly grow and change as new members join the network, or when nodes overload or fail. These community networks are usually built with low cost point-to-point wireless links organised in mesh networks, with an increasing presence of optical fibre links. In these scenarios, the networking and systems research community has the opportunity to contribute with more sustainable, adaptive, scalable, integrated, autonomic solutions for those common traits in community networks. This special issue aims to collect publications addressing theoretical and practical challenges of community networks and services, including multi-disciplinary contributions that provide insights in the socio-technical-economic understanding of the community network operation and growth. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Wireless mesh network protocols for community networks Wireless MAC and routing protocols for heterogeneous community networks Services and applications in community networks Cross-layer designs and implementation in community networks Hybrid community networks with wireless and optical fibre links Tools for bootstrapping and running community networks Clouds for community networks Interoperation of cloud-based community services Performance modelling and evaluation of community networks and services Quality of service provisioning Quality of experience in community networks Community network security and privacy Large-scale management and data collection infrastructures Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to participate in community networks Socio-technical-economic models for community networks Community networks research infrastructure Submission Details This special issue solicits papers from an open call and extended papers selected from the International Workshop on Community Networks and Bottom-up-Broadband (CNBuB). http://research.ac.upc.edu/ <http://research.ac.upc.edu/>(CNBuB2014, CNBuB2013, CNBuB2012) The journal submission should extend previously published workshop/conference papers considerably (a minimum of 30%) with new content. Papers that are essentially the same as the workshop papers will be rejected and will not be considered for review. All received submissions within the scope of this special issue will be sent out for blind peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated in regards to the relevance for this special issue, level of novelty, depth of contribution, and overall quality. Submitted articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review by other journals. If the paper was preliminarily published at a conference, the submitted manuscript must be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to explain the enhancements made in the journal version. Submitted articles must be written clearly, in good English, and should not exceed 20 pages, everything included such as abstract, figures, tables, references, etc. Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format which can be found athttp://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-au… <http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-auth…>. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the Elsevier Editorial System http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ <http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/> and authors should select ' Community Networks ' as the article type for submission.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:49:09 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ING.UNIPI.IT> Antwort an: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ING.UNIPI.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 26, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop: March 27, 2015 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Petteri Nurmi, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, University of Helsinki, Finland TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Gergely Biczók, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Denzil Ferreira, University of Oulu, Finland Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Shin'ichi Konomi, The University of Tokyo, Japan Brent Lagesse, University of Washington at Bothell, USA Neal Lathia, University of Cambridge, UK Alan Marchiori, Bucknell University, USA Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Chiang Mai University, Thailand Christian Poellabauer, University of Notre Dame, USA Alicia Rodriguez-Carrion, University Carlos III of Madrid Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:12:25 +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 First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Submission Deadline: November 26, 2014 March 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://perenergy2015.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 serve 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 in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the 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 the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research 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 '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
