-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] due on June 1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 22:35:24 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Due date for the next issue: June 1, 2014 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, robustness, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, LTE, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, software defined networking, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the March 2015 issue should be submitted by June 1, 2014. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Claudio Righetti <claudio(a)DC.UBA.AR> Gesendet: 8. März 2014 07:42:09 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS 2014) ACM SIGCOMM Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS 2014) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/csws.php In conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference, on August 18, Chicago, USA. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/index.php Call for Papers Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers. Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: Network, transport, and application layer as well as cross-layer solutions, e.g. in the area of AQM, congestion control, or connection start-up Application-layer models and requirements especially for interactive and real-time media services in fixed and mobile networks Context-aware resource allocation especially in cellular/fixed access networks and fixed/mobile convergence Multi-tenancy capacity sharing and isolation in virtual networks Approaches to reduce latency with or without network support (e.g ECN) and latency measurements QoE/QoS mapping, metrics and measurements Traffic management, classification and characterization in the Internet and data centers Fairness definitions and economic aspects on capacity sharing Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: 1. Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. 2. The creation of value-added services, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is 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 theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M concepts: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of largescale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 x 11 inches] in IEEE format). Submission of a paper implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2014 and published by IEEE.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Communications Magazine, Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks" Datum: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 14:40:56 +0100 Von: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Cicconetti <ccicconetti(a)MBIGROUP.IT> Organisation: MBI S.r.l. An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine *** Recent Advances in Technologies for Extremely Dense Wireless Networks (http://goo.gl/3226Ml) ** DESCRIPTION The ever growing demand from users of mobile networks, in terms of both capacity and coverage, is driving the current (e.g., IEEE 802.11, LTE, WiMAX) and near-future (e.g., LTE-Advanced, IEEE 802.11ac/ad/af and High Efficiency WLAN - HEW) technologies alike towards their limits. The more sustainable solution to the 5G promise of true ubiquitous mobile broadband is to deploy very dense wireless networks, which we call DenseNets. Intuition based on experience suggests that DenseNets will encompass significant overlapping, and possibly non-interoperable technologies, which can be seen as an evolution of today’s heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Similar to HetNet but only more severe, DenseNets will have to face a multitude of techno-economic challenges such as backhaul availability, very low cost of small base stations, operation, administration and management (OAM), Machine Type Communications (MTC), etc. Some of the relevant issues already identified in the DenseNets scenarios include the nonlinear characteristics of the achieved throughput and energy consumption. As an increased number of cells are being deployed, the effect of the interference becomes dominant, resulting on an overall throughput which is not linear with the number of cells. Similar nonlinear effects on energy efficiency have been observed due to the need for the equipment to be continuously serving high demand applications. In order to overcome these problems, a new family of solutions characterized by the use of cooperative approaches is required to take advantage of the new opportunities brought by the DenseNets scenarios. This opens a broad spectrum of research directions, standardisation paths, and market opportunities, which will involve the relevant communities in both academia and industry in the forthcoming years. The goal of this feature topic is to publish original material, either research or review articles, on the topic of extremely dense wireless networks (DenseNets). All material should be comprehensible and accessible to non-expert readers. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST - Exploration of the fundamental limits of wireless networks (scalability, capacity, ...) - Real life experiences with DenseNets (deployments, large scale testbeds, ...) - Novel business models, requirements, use cases, and applications - Analysis and simulation of extremely dense wireless networks - Advanced mobility management solutions within DenseNets resulting in extremely fast handover (Distributed Mobility Management - DMM, PMIPv6 and beyond, ...) - Software Defined Networking (SDN) approaches for wireless/cellular networks - Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) approaches for DenseNets - Novel theoretical frameworks for DenseNets - Energy Efficiency techniques for DenseNets - Approaching density-proportional capacity of DenseNets - Evolved network management and Operations Systems Support (OSS) for DenseNets - Standards and technologies for small cells (IEEE 802.11, LTE HeNB, ...) - 3GPP LTE-Advanced and beyond-LTE support to DenseNets ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES This Feature Topic Issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Communications Magazine's author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines for information about content, constraints (4500 words or less, no mathematical content, etc.), and formatting of submissions.
