-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine - SI Mobile Wearable Communications Datum: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:53:03 -0800 Von: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine* *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Special Issue: Mobile Wearable Communications* Mobile wearable devices communications create new challenges compared to ordinary sensor networks and short range communication. In mobile wearable communications, wearable devices communicate with each other in a Peer-to-Peer fashion or client-server fashion and also communicate with aggregation points (e.g. smartphones, tablet devices and gateways nodes). Wearable devices are expected to integrate multiple radio technologies for multiple applications needs with small power consumption and low transmission delays. These devices can hence collect, interpret, transmit and exchange data among supporting components, other wearable devices and the Internet. Data are not limited to people's personal biomedical data but they also include human-centric social and context data. The success of mobile wearable communications depends on communication and networking architectures that support efficient and secure end-to-end information flows. A key design consideration of future wearable devices is to ubiquitously connect to smart phones or Internet with very-low energy consumption. Radio propagation and accordingly channel models may be vastly different from those in existing wireless technologies. A huge number of connected wearable devices require novel big data processing algorithms, efficient storage solutions, cloud-assisted infrastructures, and spectrum-efficient communications technologies. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on mobile wearable communications, including various topics of interest, but not limited to: - Wireless wearable communications architectures and systems - Radio propagation, channel modeling, interference management and physical layer techniques - Sensor, actuator, M2M, relay, and NFC for wireless wearable communications - Mobile cloud architectures and services for wearable communications and networking - Big data processing in wearable networking - Energy-efficiency, spectrum-efficiency, QoS, robustness, and fault-tolerance - Context-aware (e.g., social, location, time) design - Security, trust, and privacy management - Performance analysis, model, optimization, monitoring, and control - Novel applications and services, e.g., wireless wearable communications for eHealth, sport, fitness, transport safety, location-based services, and crowd sensing - Standardization and regulations for wireless wearable communications and networking Schedule Manuscript Submission: June 1, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: November 1, 2014 Initial Decision: September 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: December 1, 2014 Revised Manuscript Due: October 1, 2014 Publication Date: February 2015 *Submission of the Papers* Submitted manuscripts need to follow the *IEEE Wireless Communications*paper guidelines at ( http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines) and submission will be through ScholarOne Manuscript Central at *http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm*<http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm> .

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 22:27:59 -0700 Von: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Shibo He <shibohe(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call for Papers:**Computer Communications* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobiledevices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatilesensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobileubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative).

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Gesendet: 21. Februar 2014 06:34:55 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 3rd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS) (apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ========================================= Paper submission deadline on 7 March 2014 ========================================= IoT-SoS 2014 3rd IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2014) Sydney, Australia 16 June 2014 http://www.ieee-wowmom.org/iot-sos/2014 CALL FOR PAPERS The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. 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 large-scale 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.
