-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP MED-HOC-NET 2014 Datum: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 17:30:33 +0100 Von: Andreas Kassler <andreas.kassler(a)KAU.SE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: Karlstad University An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Please consider the following Call for Papers for MED-HOC-NET 2014. You can find additional information at http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/medhocnet2014 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The 13th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop June 2-4, 2014 Piran, Slovenia http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/medhocnet2014 Important Dates Papers Due: March 3, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: April 7, 2014 Camera-Ready Version due: May 4, 2014 Conference Dates: June 2-4, 2014 Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Submissions are limited to 8 pages in length in Two-Column Format, including references, figures and tables. Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically through the EDAS web site. Overview Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted considerable attention from the research community in the last several years. Now that many of the fundamental topics and challenges have been deeply investigated, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include data-centric operations, autonomous organization, service creation/support, continued operation under intermittent connectivity, optimization, control, cross-layer design and application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, smart cities, energy efficient buildings, sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.). Moreover, novel and exciting challenges are introduced by commercial systems adopting the ad hoc paradigm, from mesh, sensor and vehicular networks, and by associated delay-tolerant and opportunistic scenarios. Furthermore, today's market explosion of smart phones is creating new opportunities for wireless ad hoc social networks, the study of which requires the combination of opportunistic ad hoc networking aspects with the understanding of social behavior and mobility patterns. MED-HOC-NET 2014 focuses on all the ramifications of ad hoc networking research, not only the classic topics of location management, security/privacy, topology optimization/control schemes and resource allocation, but also paying attention to novel emerging areas such as green networking, safety/surveillance, underwater communications, and coexistence among heterogeneous devices. The Workshop is endorsed by the IEEE Communication Society and its Technical Committees for Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Information Infrastructure & Networking, and Radio Communication, and by IFIP. TOPICS Papers are solicited in a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, mesh, delay-tolerant, content-centric and opportunistic networks, including but not limited to -Routing algorithms and protocols -MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation -Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks -Middleware for ad hoc networks -Application driven architectures and protocols -Sensor network applications and protocols -Vehicular networks -Cognitive radio networks -Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks -Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes -Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.) -Self organization and network reconfiguration -Optimization models and algorithms -Resource and service discovery -Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.) -Security and privacy -Delay tolerant networks -Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking -Mobile social networks -Security and privacy -Participatory and urban sensing -Underwater wireless networks -Heterogeneous networks -Novel performance measures -Green networking -Cooperative schemes -Network localization -Network secrecy -Networking virtualization -Services based, and enabled by Ad Hoc networks Conference Chairs Fulvio Babich - University of Trieste, Italy Eve Schooler - Intel Labs, USA Technical Program Chairs Andreas Kassler - Karlstads Universitet, Sweden Gustavo Marfia - University of Bologna, Italy Steering Committees Ian F.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: UBICOMP 2014 - Call for Papers - The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Datum: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:59:16 +0530 Von: Mohit Jain <mohitrb1(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mohit Jain <mohitrb1(a)GMAIL.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Hi all, Please consider submitting to UbiComp 2014, the Papers and Notes submission deadline is approaching - March 12 (for abstracts) and March 19 (final files for previously submitted abstracts). The plain text CFP is listed below and for further information visit: http://www.ubicomp.org/ubicomp2014/ In addition, please help spread awareness of the conference by tweeting to @ubicomp or using #ubicomp2014, or "liking" our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/ubicompconference Apologies to those of you who have received this message multiple times. Best, Mohit Jain @ IBM Research India UbiComp 2014 Publicity Chair ================================================================== ********************************** Announcement and Call for Papers ********************************** UBICOMP 2014 http://www.ubicomp.org The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing September 13-17, 2014, Seattle (Washington, US) The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2014) invites submissions of papers concerning new research contributions in ubiquitous and pervasive computing. UbiComp is a premier interdisciplinary venue in which leading international researchers, designers, developers, and practitioners in the field present and discuss novel results in all aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. This includes the design, development, and deployment of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies and the understanding of human experiences and social impacts that these technologies facilitate. Following the successful merger in 2013 of the two most renowned conferences in the field, i.e., Pervasive and (the former) UbiComp, UbiComp 2014 will be held from September 13 to 17 in Seattle, Washington, USA, and as in past years will be collocated with ISWC 2014 (with a single registration fee). UbiComp 2014's papers and notes track welcomes high quality submissions that describe original and unpublished research contributions advancing the frontier of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to: - Systems & infrastructures: descriptions of the design, architecture, deployment, and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support ubiquitous computing - Devices & techniques: descriptions of the design, architecture, usage, and evaluation of devices and techniques that create valuable new capabilities for ubiquitous computing - Applications & experiences: descriptions of the design and/or empirical study of applications that leverage Ubicomp devices and systems - Methodologies & tools: new methods and tools applied to studying or building Ubicomp systems and applications - Theories & models: critical analysis or organizing theory with clear relevance to the design or study of Ubicomp systems A submission (full paper or note) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research and knowledge, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. Authors should write their paper for an interdisciplinary, international audience. All submissions should not have been previously published nor be under concurrent submission for publication for an archival track of any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication that is part of a formal repository (such as the ACM digital library). ***NEW for 2014*** To allow for more complete and fully formatted reference lists, bibliographic references do NOT count toward the page limit of 10 pages for full papers and 4 pages for notes. However, references are limited to 2 total additional pages for full papers and 1 additional page for notes and must still be formatted in the ACM double-column format. Therefore, the maximum total pages for full papers will be 12 pages and 5 pages for notes (with only references allowed on the final pages). *** NEW for 2014 *** UbiComp 2014 will use a relaxed anonymization policy. Author names/affiliations must not appear in the title area of a paper-in-submission, but further anonymization is at the authors' discretion. UbiComp 2014 will continue to include a "revise & resubmit" phase as a part of its submission and review process. While most papers will be accepted or rejected at the program committee meeting, a select number of papers will receive the opportunity to resubmit a substantially revised version of their submission. A detailed meta-review will outline necessary changes, which may include the need for further experiments and/or significant manuscript re-organization. This process allows flawed papers with significant potential a second chance at acceptance. However, note that an invitation to revise and resubmit does not guarantee acceptance. Important Dates for UbiComp 2014 Papers and Notes track: - ***NEW FOR 2014*** Abstract deadline - March 12, 2014, 17:00 PDT (It is mandatory to submit a complete abstract before this hard deadline, though minor changes to the abstract will be permitted) - Paper deadline (submission only permitted if abstract was submitted as above) - March 19, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications (incl. "revise & resubmit" notifications): 8 May, 2014 - Revised papers/notes submission deadline: 4 June, 2014, 17:00 PDT - Author notifications for revised submissions: 16 June, 2014 - Camera-ready deadline: 24 June, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 workshops and doctoral consortium: 13-14 September, 2014 - UbiComp 2014 main conference: 15-17 September, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities, January 15
by Lars Wolf 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Gesendet: Tue Dec 17 16:11:36 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities, January 15 Computer Communications Journal Manuscript due: January 15, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities are technology-intensive cities in which the importance and role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding. ICT plays a key role toward the sustainable development of new urban environments. Buildings with smart sensors and control systems can measure their environment and control it in real time (e.g. HVAC). Smart metering allows a utility company to match its production to the demand, dynamically. An electricity provider can influence both production and demand through the use of smart grid technology. This special issue revolves on the following foundational question: what are the “unique” context characteristics, application and control needs, and traffic/user patterns in existing (and futuristic) smart city scenarios, which require a rethinking of networking and communication technologies and systems, as well as their relevant modeling and dimensioning methodologies? ---------------------------------------------- SCOPE ---------------------------------------------- The scope of this special issue is on purpose kept broad in terms of networking and communication technologies. Rather, perspective contributions are expected to sharply target aspects and requirements which clearly distinguish smart cities from general purpose networking and communication systems. We aim at assembling high quality papers which show how smart cities and sensor-generated traffic uniquely challenge current access and transport technologies and protocols, and bring about compelling solutions to such emerging issues, new modeling insights, new monitoring and control means, and so on. We especially welcome work devised to: • explore how existing technologies and protocols need to be revisited/adapted to fit the urban cities requirements, or, conversely, highlight latest technology shifts or propose new context-specific solutions; • provide experimentally supported models and feedbacks from urban-scale pilot and production deployments; • address emerging new applications and/or new challenges. ---------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---------------------------------------------- • Machine to Machine services/patterns and their communication and networking support • Quality of Service, fairness provisioning and Service Level Agreementsfor dense deployments; • Multi-client large-scale networks (fairness, cohabitation) • Privacy for smart-metering (anonymity, presence detection, tracking) • Co-located Networks and inter-technology interference; • Multi-technology networks and inter-operability for the smart grid (e.g. PLC, IEEE 802.15.4, wirelessHART); • Mobile wireless networks for car traffic surveillance and management; • Emerging standards for urban wireless networks; • Experimental network measurements and characterization for urban environments; • Commercial applications, technological choices and success stories; • Prototypes, testbeds and pilot deployments (e.g. smart-metering, smart buildings, public transportation); Submission The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "SpecialIssue: Smart Cities" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------- Manuscript Due: January 15, 2014 First Round of Reviews: April 30, 2014 Revised Paper due: June 15, 2014 Final notification: July 15, 2014 ---------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS ---------------------------------------------- Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, giuseppe.bianchi(a)uniroma2.it V.

Chang, HTC Corporation Fang-Jing Wu, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Zhenhui Jessie Li, Pennsylvania State University Venue & Dates: May 13, 2014, Tainan, Taiwan Conference Website: http://hscc.cs.nctu.edu.tw/~fangjing/index.html Introduction The massive data streams and diverse modalities of digital information sources being captured at an incredible rate have enriched the confluence of ubiquitous computing, networking technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data mining, machine learning, and data visualization and also boosted many promising applications in environmental sensing, urban mobility, transportation, emergency response, social networks, healthcare, security, and IT infrastructure. However, the captured big data is usually sparsely collected, noisy, incomplete, and untrustworthy. Moreover, the sheer volume of sensor data, as well as its streaming and distributed nature, raises many technical challenges of mobile sensing, data mining, data visualization, and real-world applications. Government organizations, commercial enterprise, and individuals rely on different technologies form conventional wireless sensor platforms to smartphones to collect big sensing data, extract knowledge from the big data, and visualize big data from several perspectives so as to develop the expected applications in pervasive environments. Several successful applications attract not only the research efforts but also the industry investments for big data science. As the big data science involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, the workshop aims at several important research topics, including (1) data sensing : how to collect multi-dimensional and high-quality data effectively, how to collect data without compromising personal privacy, and how to design incentive sensing models which may incorporate participatory sensing, crowdsourcing, cooperative and opportunistic sensing technologies for Novel Applications; (2) data mining : how current data mining, machine learning and knowledge discovery methods can be extended to mining solutions for dealing with real-world problems, how to infer human intentions, recognize activities and extract knowledge from unstructured data, and how to design distributed, parallel, and scalable mining algorithms to handle large, multi-modal, heterogeneous and distributed streams of data; and (3) data visualization : how to visualize heterogeneous streaming data in a real-time way, how to represent data in a more intuitive way, and how to abstract key information to visualize the relationship between data. The 1st workshop on Mobile Sensing, Mining and Visualization for Human Behavior Inference will serve as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in big data science. This workshop encourages authors to develop real-world applications and evaluate their methodologies using the real big datasets and investigate challenging problems based on large-scale deployment in the real world. The topics of interest related to this workshop include, but are not limited to: - Mobile data collection models - Participatory, opportunistic and collaborative sensing - Mining large scale sensor data - Activity recognition and subjective sensing for mobile and pervasive applications - Data mining techniques for real-world pervasive computing applications - Unsupervised methods for discovering interesting patterns - Supervised machine learning methods for analyzing data in pervasive environments - Streaming data visualization - Visual search and recommendation - Big data storytelling using visualization - Scalable parallel visualization methods - Test-beds and real-world deployments - Big data sensing, mining, and visualization applications including cyber intelligence, cyber security, business intelligence, e-commerce, scientific data analysis, education, etc. Submission Guidelines The submitted paper should adhere to the double-blind review policy .
