-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension-MobiArch 2014-due June 15th, 2014 Datum: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 21:16:02 -0400 Von: Katherine Guo <katherine.guo(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> Antwort an: Katherine Guo <katherine.guo(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Due to popular request, submission deadline is extended to June 15th, 2014. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MobiArch 2014 The 9th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (in conjunction with MobiCom 2014, September 7-11, 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA) Theme: Seamless Mobility in Software Dominated Communication Networks http://mobiarch2014.atnog.av.it.pt/ http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2014/workshops.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Deadline Extension ### Paper submissions due: June 15th, 2014 (11:59pm EDT) Notification of acceptance: July 13th, 2014 Camera-ready version due: July 19th, 2014 Workshop date: Sept 11th, 2014 ### Scope: Recent years have witnessed mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers and exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Wireless has quickly become the dominate last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today¡¦s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users are posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. The lack of adoption of Mobile IP and IPv6 mobility extensions and additional challenges posed by mobility have led to renewed interest in a clean-slate design that comprehensively addresses mobility, without existing architectural constraints. This requires addressing issues such as efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security and privacy, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, efficient multimedia content distribution, new cloud computing infrastructure with information centric networking, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, and related operational/deployment concerns. Furthermore, the architecture will need to include novel services to meet the demands of today¡¦s fast evolving mobile applications. MobiArch 2014 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in future clean-slate Internets. We encourage work-in-progress papers, we especially welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ### Topics: All aspects of architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: Impact of new wireless technologies/services, networking technologies, and mobility patterns on the mobile-centric Internet architecture Mobility support in the Internet, ranging from link to application layers or cross-layer design solutions Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks Software defined and cloud ¡Vassisted mobile networking Role of network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks Impact of massive data collection, analysis and management in mobile architecture and services Impact of incentives and smart pricing on network utilization and user Quality of Experience (QoE) Impact of high throughput mobile interface on ad-hoc networks Addressing and routing issues, location management, support for location-aware application and protocols Security and privacy issues in mobile networks and impact on Internet architecture Economic, regulation, and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Posters/Demo: IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference 2014 3-5 December 2014, Paderborn, Germany Datum: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 09:47:03 -0400 Von: Wantanee Viriyasitavat <wantaneev(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Wantanee Viriyasitavat <wantaneev(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ***************************************************** Call for Posters/Demo: IEEE VNC 2014 6th IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference December 3-5, 2014 | Paderborn, Germany http://www.ieee-vnc.org/ ***************************************************** Submit now using EDAS system: https://edas.info/N17911 --------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------- - Submission deadline: October 6, 2014 5pm US EDT - Acceptance Notification: October 27, 2014 - Camera-Ready version due: November 10, 2014 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 by mitigating the impact of congestion, reduce traffic incidents and thereby improve safety, and overall provide a more comfortable driving experience. Towards this goal, the 2014 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges within the area of vehicular networking technologies and their applications. IEEE VNC 2014 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 2014 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 espe! cially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. Consistent with the submission policy of this year’s VNC edition but different from previous editions, poster and demo submissions will be put into distinct submission categories and therefore papers will not be moved between different categories during the review process – i.e., full or short papers will not be “downgraded” to poster or demo papers. --------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------------------- All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed, and will be selected based on the novelty and technical quality of the works, as well as the expected interest to the VNC audience. Accepted poster and demo papers will be published in the conference proceeding (also available on IEEE Xplore) and will be advertised on the IEEE VNC 2014 website. The submitted poster or demo paper should be a 2-page paper following the VNC 2014 paper format (standard IEEE 2-column format and 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. Please note that for every accepted poster or demo paper, at least one person must register for the conference and present the poster or demo. --------------------------------- VENUE --------------------------------- IEEE VNC 2014 will take place at the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum, the world's largest computer museum, located in Paderborn, Germany. The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum is the world’s biggest computer museum as well as a lively event venue. The Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum is sponsored by the Stiftung Westfalen foundation set up by Heinz Nixdorf, which primarily promotes science and teaching, especially in the field of information technology. --------------------------------- Demo and Poster co-chairs: --------------------------------- Elisabeth Uhlemann (elisabeth.uhlemann(a)ieee.org) Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai (hsinmu(a)csie.ntu.edu.tw) More info at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): only a few days left for abstract registration Datum: Wed, 28 May 2014 15:59:55 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ ******* PAPER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JUNE 1st ******* SCOPE AND 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, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, 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, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - 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 - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using 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 - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, 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 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.

Following this trend, many new challenges arise and need to be overcome to satisfy the growing number of wireless users. Doubtlessly, thorough experimental evaluation and analysis of wireless networking protocols and applications will increasingly be needed to identify the limitations of current technologies and to motivate innovative ideas to go beyond the state of the art. Moreover, realistic empirical evaluations of such a diverse set of solutions, and their mutual interactions, will play a major role to demonstrate their efficiency in everyday denser networks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. ================ CALL FOR PAPERS ================ WiNTECH aims at bringing together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. The workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas and experiences gathered across all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in wireless networking. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms - Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments - Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies - Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures - Testbed management issues and monitoring support - Wireless testbed case studies - Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols, including the impact of cross-layer interactions - Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations - Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks - Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments - Studies on real-world white-space networks - Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks - Implementation approaches to ease transition between different evaluation methodologies - New measurement methodologies and infrastructures - Interference and spectrum usage measurements - Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing - Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics - Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies - Testbeds and experiments in challenged wireless environments (e.g., underwater, underground) All regular workshop paper submissions will be handled electronically via the HotCRP system and should conform to the following requirements: 1. A maximum of 8 (eight) 8.5" x 11" pages (including figures, tables, and references). 2. The paper must be in two-column format, using 10-point font size or greater and reasonable margins. 3.

We apologize for any cross-postings. Call for Position Papers DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM at AutomotiveUI 2014 Seattle, WA, USA # September 17-19, 2014 (the days right after UBICOMP and ISWC!) Submissions due: August 8th, 2014 ************************************************************************ After its inauguration in 2013, the AutomotiveUI'14 Doctoral Colloquium aims at bringing together again PhD students working on topics related to the field of automotive user interfaces and interactive vehicular applications, offering them an opportunity to present and discuss their research to an audience of peers and senior faculty. PhD students will receive feedback from their peers about the appropriateness of their idea/topic/research approach, and will enjoy discussing their research with senior members of the community. The DC is scheduled prior to the main conference program on Wedneyday, September 17th, 2014. The topics of the AutomotiveUI'14 doctoral colloquium are basically the ones of the main conference (full list: http://www.auto-ui.org/14/): 1) Devices & Interfaces for vehicle operation 2) Automated/cooperative driving & Instrumentation 3) Evaluation & Benchmarking (Simulation, FOT, Naturalistic Studies) 4) Driver Performance & Behavior (Emotions, Intention, Distraction,...) *** ELIGIBILITY *** The AutomotiveUI 2014 doctoral colloquium welcomes contributions from doctoral students currently registered in a PhD program. Ideal candidates should have worked on their dissertation for some months; thus, they should have chosen a research topic and possibly have also selected theoretical and methodological approaches. Selection of participants will be based on the quality of the submission and its relevance to the conference topics of interest. *** TRAVEL GRANTS *** We intend to provide travel grants to allow more students to take part in the DC; however, at this time we are still negotiating with potential sponsors so that we cannot guarantee at all to offer travel grants. If you think you are eligible for receiving a travel grant and want to apply in case we have grants, please mention this in your application. We will come back to you and request the required information timely. *** SUBMISSION FORMAT *** Submissions must be single-author, but the name of the supervisor should also be mentioned in the paper. The conversation language of the colloquium is English and all submitted materials must be also in English. Research students wishing to apply for the DC should submit up to 5 pages including figures, references, and a 100 word abstract using the format of the main conference (ACM SIGCHI two column page layout). Templates for LaTeX and MS Word are available for download at the AutoUI website, http://www.auto-ui.org/14/submit.php#doctoralcolloquium. Please stick to the templates to foster consistent submissions. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by the members of the doctoral colloquium program committee. The position statement should: + give a crisp introduction to the field/problem domain, + present key related work (current status of the problem domain and related solutions), + clearly formulate the research question/approach, + point out significance and innovation (expected contributions), + describe the research methodology that is applied or planned, + outline your contribution to the problem domain and highlight the uniqueness of your approach, + pose questions and issues (that you'd like to discuss at the DC) In addition, a one page biographical sketch (CV) should be submitted, including a paragraph stating what you hope to get out of participating in the DC.
