-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) - Co-located with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:43:33 -0400 Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, USA October 28 - 30, 2014 Co-located with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2014 http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/cartoon/index.html ================================================================================ Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2014 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed/unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31 Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): deadline extension Datum: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:08:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi<chants14_publicity(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* Due to numerous requests, we have decided to extend the CHANTS deadline by a few days. *** Please note that CHANTS welcomes submissions for both regular papers and demonstration papers. The full details are in the CFP below. *** ______________________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________________ ******* DEADLINE EXTENSION ******* ******* Papers registration: June 11th ******* ******* Papers submission: June 15th ******* 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 1st KuVS Workshop on Anticipatory Networks Datum: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 20:50:01 +0000 Von: Valentin, Stefan (Stefan) <stefan.valentin(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> Antwort an: Valentin, Stefan (Stefan) <stefan.valentin(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ============================ CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS ============================ === 1st KuVS Workshop on Anticipatory Networks === * September 29-30, 2014, Stuttgart, Germany * Submission: July 1, 2014 * Further information: <https://www.cs.uni-paderborn.de/index.php?id=38322> === Overview === Anticipation is a promising new approach for designing telecommunication net- works. By predicting and adapting to upcoming events an anticipatory network can highly improve operation quality and efficiency. Driven by the increasing cap- abilities of "smart" handsets as well as by the recent progress in machine learning and context-aware optimization, anticipatory adaptation receives more and more attention by researchers in industry and academia. While early results show the high potential of anticipation for specific scenarios, many theoretical and practical questions remain. This workshop aims to consolidate the view on Anticipatory Networks, to define promising research directions, and to connect researchers in the field. While current research has considered anticipation mostly in a wireless context, we encourage discussions about applications in other systems as well, e.g., data centers and backhauls. Researchers, scientists and engineers from industry and academia are cordially invited to present their work. === Topics === Suggested topics include but are not limited to: * Models, bounds, and techniques for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * Algorithms and protocols for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * System architectures for anticipatory networks, both conceptual and legacy integration * Methods for anticipatory adaptation and optimization, e.g., from machine learning, data mining, optimization, and signal processing * Methods and approaches for predicting channel characteristics, user mobility, user behavior, application demands, and traffic requirements * New uses of Smartphone sensors and network statistics for anticipation and adaptation * Use cases, practical examples, and experimental results for anticipatory net- working === Submission Guideline === Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract with a maximum of 3 pages in IEEE Conference Style, US Letter format. The abstract should be written in English and submitted as a PDF file to <kuvs-anticipatory(a)uni-paderborn.de>. The extended abstracts will be made available as a collection on arXiv.org. * Submission: July 1, 2014 * Notification of acceptance: August 12, 2014 * Final Abstract submission: September 1, 2014 === Organization === The event will take place from September 29 to 30, 2014 at the Alcatel-Lucent Campus in Stuttgart, Germany.
