Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Call for Papers] IEEE International Workshop on Self-Organizing Networks (SONETs) co-located with WCNC 2014

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Call for Papers] IEEE International Workshop on Self-Organizing Networks (SONETs) co-located with WCNC 2014 Datum: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:10:14 +0200 Von: Mourad Khanfouci <M.Khanfouci(a)FR.MERCE.MEE.COM> Antwort an: Mourad Khanfouci <M.Khanfouci(a)FR.MERCE.MEE.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *_SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 31 October 2013_* [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================================================================================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *_IEEE International Workshop on Self-Organizing Networks (SONETs) <http://open-innovation.alcatel-lucent.com/www/sohnets/index.html>_* co-located with WCNC 2014, Istanbul, TURKEY Workshop date: 6 April 2014 The ever-increasing need for higher data rates in multimedia services and applications leads to stringent requirements on the bit rate/km2 that next-generation cellular wireless networks are expected to deliver. This increasing trend has urged mobile operators to examine new ways for improving their coverage and boosting their network capacities. A promising approach to this challenge is the dense deployment of short range and low power base stations in conjunction with the macrocellular network, as well as relays, distributed antennas and radio remote heads. However, the CAPital and OPerating EXpenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) of such heterogeneous networks increase with the increasing number of nodes. The solution to this problem is the deployment of Self-Organizing NETworks (SONETs). SONETs represent a novel paradigm based on the deployment of networks with self-organized functionalities. There are significant technical problems that need to be addressed for the successful deployment and operation of SONETs. In particular, time-, frequency- and spatial-domain interference management is a fundamental issue. To deal with increasing peak data demands, SONETs design should be self-organized based on interference/load/congestion levels, dynamically adapting their transmissions via smart traffic offloading strategies onto licensed/unlicensed bands. The IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS (*SONETs*) will offer an excellent opportunity for academic and industrial researchers for spreading and sharing the latest results and understandings for rendering wireless networks more efficient in terms of capacity, coverage, Quality-of-Service performance and energy consumption. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to the following: * Self-configuration/-optimization/-healing mechanisms for SONETs, * Energy-efficient algorithms and green wireless for SONETs, * Cognitive radio techniques for SONETs, * Game theoretical techniques and reinforcement learning for SONETs, * Trade-offs between macro-cell, femto-cell, pico-cell, relay and distributed antenna system deployments, * Mobility management in SONETs, * Backhaul-aware (wired, wireless, millimeter wave, etc.) * Radio Resource Management (RRM) for SONETs, * Intra-RAT (cell range expansion, e-ICIC) and Inter-RAT offloading (3GPP and WiFi interworking) in SONETs, * Device-to-Device (D2D) communications in SONETs, * Multi-point transmission techniques(CoMP, JT, DCS, massive/large MIMO) , Active Antenna Systems (AAS) in SONETs, * Carrier aggregation (single and multi-flow) in heterogeneous networks, * Coordinating self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing mechanisms in SONETs, * Policy-based management of self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing mechanisms in SONETs. SONETs 2014 will feature Prof. *Ismail Guvenc* (Florida International University, USA) and Dr. *Colin Willcock* (Nokia Solutions Networks, Germany) as keynote speakers. The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (minimum 10-point font) including figures, without incurring additional page charges. *IMPORTANT DATES* Paper Submission Deadline: *16 October 2013* Acceptance Notification: 8 January 2014 Camera Ready Copy: 26 January 2014 *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Electronic submission using the EDAS electronic submission system _https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=15847_ is required.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 3rd IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control for Smart Energy Systems (CCSES) Datum: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 06:43:36 -0400 Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 3rd IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control for Smart Energy Systems (CCSES) http://www.ieee-infocom.org/Workshops.html Call for Papers: The emerging smart energy system is expected to be a large-scale cyber-physical system that can improve the efficiency, reliability, and robustness of power and energy grids by integrating advanced techniques from power systems, control, communications, signal processing, and networking. For instance, advanced communications and networking technologies are expected to play a vital role in the future smart grid infrastructures by supporting two-way energy and information flow and enabling more efficient monitoring, control, and optimization of different grid functionalities and smart power devices. The efficient design of the forthcoming smart grid system faces a plethora of challenges at different levels ranging from communications and networking to control and power systems. In addition, the deployment of the smart grid will lead to several new multi-disciplinary research opportunities and potentials for collaborations with industries and various international smart grid standardization bodies. Building on the success of its 2012 and 2013 versions, the Workshop on Communications and Control for Smart Energy Systems is intended to provide a forum for discussion on all these most recent developments and bring together industry and academia, engineers and researchers.
