-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Gesendet: Mon Dec 23 18:47:20 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: WiNMee 2014 (Sorry for multiple receptions of this e-mail.) ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS WiNMee 2014 The 10th International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements and … [View More]Experimentations (In conjunction with WiOpt 2014.) ================================================================================ http://www.hanalab.org/wiopt2014/w4-winmee.html SCOPE --------------------------- The explosion of both wireless technologies and applications as well as the increasing number of radios and frequency bands available demand an understanding of in-field performance to design the next generation of wireless systems. Complex channel properties such as multipath, delay spread, and Doppler effects prevent even the most complex channel models from exactly characterizing repeatable in-situ behavior. Abstract models of devices and energy storage, as well as emerging paradigms such as energy harvesting enabled systems, make estimation of system performance and lifetime quite challenging unless supported by field experiments. To better understand the potential of novel paradigms and ideas, it is therefore imperative to evaluate these ideas in the field via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and devices, and by the varying and error-prone wireless channel. Even slight misunderstandings can cause drastic performance differences in various research avenues from cognitive spectral sensing to spatial reuse in large-scale network planning to lifetime and amount of tasks which can be performed by Internet-of-Things devices. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2014 is the tenth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production and research wireless networks ? Measurement and characterization of wireless network traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cyber physical and sensing systems ? Experimental validation of network simulators ? Experimental driven mobile social network and mobility models ? Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting ? Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements, including novel measurement techniques ? Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration ? Methodologies for measuring and characterizing heterogeneous wireless networks ? Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing, analyzing and sharing wireless measurement data ? Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems, cyber physical and sensing systems, WLAN and VANET, cellular systems ? Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility; estimation and prediction of energy availability ? Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds ? Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------- The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be in PDF format, written in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size), including figures. The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS at http://edas.info/N16027. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.

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.

Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== &… [View More]nbsp; 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) [View Less]

To investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint is of prime importance. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication and networking systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications! networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the total). The need for �greener� communications and networking technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Springer Mobile Network & Applications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications and networking, which solicits original, unpublished research papers both from academy and industry reporting on substantial results in the green communications and networking area enabling significant future energy savings. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications and networking.
