-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - colocated with CPSWEEK Datum: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:23:34 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: lmottola(a)gmail.com <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2013 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2014. Notifications : March 7, 2014. Camera ready : March 15, 2014. Workshop : Apr 13, 2014, at 2pm. Submission Guidelines: We invite to submit short papers in PDF format, of at most 4 pages in length including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, and using a minimum of 10-pt font. Suitable templates are available at the workshop website. Workshop Organizers: Karthik Dantu, University at Buffalo, USA Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano and SICS Swedish ICT Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Program Committee (To be completed): Filippo Arrichiello (UNICAS, Italy) Peter Corke (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) Marco Dorigo (Universite Libre Bruxelles, Belgium) Andrea Gasparri (Universita degli Studi "Roma Tre", Italy) Ramiro Martinez (University of Seville, Spain) Anthony Rowe (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Michael Rubenstein (Harvard, USA) Brian Sadler (ARL, USA)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Yu-Ching Hsu <YuChing(a)ITRI.ORG.TW> Gesendet: Mon Jan 13 02:05:16 MEZ 2014 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] (extended to Jan. 31) IEEE Wireless Comm. SI on Multihop Cellular The due date is extended to Jan. 31, 2014. IEEE Wireless Communications Feature Topic on "Multi-hop Cellular: From Research to Systems, Standards, and Applications" It has been more than 10 years since the Multi-hop Cellular Networks (MCN) architecture was first proposed in the year 2000. Fundamental researches have demonstrated the benefits of MCN in terms of system capacity, service coverage, and network connectivity. The actual concept behind the MCN architecture could be regarded as “relaying within a cell”, or operating base stations or access points with ad-hoc or mesh networking. This concept also pushed standard bodies to consider their solutions embedded with mesh or ad-hoc architectures, such as IEEE 802.11s, IEEE 802.16j, and IEEE 802.15.5. Now in the recent standards of 3GPP, ProSe (Proximity-based Services) and GCSE_LTE (Group Communication System Enablers for LTE) related working items also cover the device-to-device (D2D) communications with or without infrastructure. After many researches on protocols and architectures for IEEE series specifications have been done for Single-RAT (Radio Access Technology) MCN based on analytical models and simulations, other issues related to implementation, deployment and operations have emerged. From the 3GPP aspect, many research issues are still pending. For Multi-RAT MCN, further researches have to be done in considering the RAT capabilities of devices. This feature topic would serve as a state-of-the-art snapshot in these exciting developments, including but not limited to: - Design and deployment guidelines for MCN - Implementation and test bed issues for MCN - Power saving in MCN - Cross-layer ID allocation and mapping in MCN - Path switch between direct/infrastructure links in MCN - Discovery and self-organization with ad-hoc networking in MCN - Network management in MCN: privacy, security, routing, and mobility - Resource management in MCN: single/multi radio access technology (RAT) and power control - Group communications in MCN - Multi-hop content sharing in MCN - Ad-hoc networking at the edge of MCN for disaster relief or military operations - New application scenarios in MCN: service models, security, charging, billing - Bandwidth aggregation in multi-RAT MCN - System capacity modeling and analysis for Multi-RAT MCN - Cross-layer, cross-RAT collaborative algorithms in Multi-RAT MCN - Network/RAT selection and multi-homing routing in Multi-RAT MCN Submission With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines.

More than twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to the topic. IWQoS 2014 will continue to be a premier symposium on Quality of Service, providing an international forum for presentation and discussin of cutting edge research in the field. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial communication, and "green" computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The 2014 edition of the IEEE/ACM IWQoS Symposium will be held on May 26-27 2014 in Hong Kong, China. The scope of IWQoS 2014 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Quality of cloud services and cloud computing Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks Energy awareness in communication systems Design for the Future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Reviewing will be double-blind. Submissions must not reveal the authors' names and their affiliations. In other words, submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the symposium as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the symposium (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the symposium.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:41:01 -0700 Von: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> 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 mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, 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 mobile ubiquitous 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). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
