-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier Computer Networks: SI on Green Communications (deadline: Feb. 28th) Datum: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:52:59 +0200 Von: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG * Call for Papers * ----------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Green Communications Elsevier Computer Networks ----------------------------------------------- * Deadline: February 28, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… One of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century is to investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint. 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 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 t! otal). The need for ‘greener’ communications 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 Computer Networks on Green Communications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications. We seek papers describing research results that show significant energy savings in communications systems. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Energy-efficient home, access, core, and data center networks - Energy-efficient wireless access, home and sensor networks - Energy-efficient cellular networks - Energy-efficient content distribution - Power-aware algorithms, protocols, network equipment, and applications - Software-defined networks for energy efficiency - Energy Management as a part of Network Management - Performance models and metrics for analyzing performance-energy trade-offs - Trade-offs in embodied versus use phase energy consumption - Trade-offs in thin client, cloud computing, and network energy use - Regulation and standardisation * Guest Editors * Ken Christensen University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA Email: christen(a)csee.usf.edu Xavier Costa Pérez NEC R&D Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Email: Xavier.costa(a)ieee.org Pablo Serrano University Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Spain Email: pablo(a)it.uc3m.es Jinsong Wu Bell Laboratories, China Email: wujs(a)ieee.org * Important Dates * - Paper Submission Due: February 28, 2014 - Notification: May 31, 2014 - Camera ready: June 30, 2014 - Publication Date: 4th Quarter of 2014 * Submission Requirements * Submitted articles must be clearly written in good English. Articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope for all submissions. All submissions deemed to be in-scope for this special issue, original, and clear in presentation will be sent out for peer review to three experts in the field and will be evaluated with respect to level of innovation, depth of contribution, and quality of presentation. It is very important that submitted papers must not be under consideration by other journals or publications. Author guidelines can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-auth… for preparation of articles.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Computer SI on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security Datum: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 22:43:35 +0800 Von: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Chun-Ying Huang <chuang(a)NTOU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [ My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Call for Articles for IEEE Computer Computer seeks submissions for a June 2014 special issue on methodologies and solutions for mobile application security. With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices, mobile application security has become an important research topic. Compared with personal computers or servers, mobile devices store much more sensitive personal information and are thus attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain. Because these devices are always online and have a restricted user interface, it is easier for attackers to hide their malicious activities. This special issue aims to present high-quality articles describing security algorithms, protocols, policies, and frameworks for applications running on modern mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Only submissions describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research that are not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * app and app store security and privacy; * benchmarking and evaluation of mobile security solutions; * bots on mobile devices; * cloud security and privacy, as related to mobile devices; * mobile device forensics; * security and privacy in mobile device operating systems and middleware; * mobile malware collection, statistics, and analysis; * mobile services and social networking security; * reverse engineering and automated analysis of mobile malware; * security for smart payment applications, including near-field communication; * standardization efforts related to developing and vetting mobile apps; * testbeds and case studies for mobile platforms; * traffic monitoring and detection algorithms for mobile platforms; * usability of approaches for mobile security and privacy; * virtualization solutions for mobile security; and * Web browser security on mobile devices. Articles should be original and understandable to a broad audience of computing science and engineering professionals, avoiding a focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract concepts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to Computer’s readership. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and style. The guest editors for this special issue include Ying-Dar Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan (lead: ydlin(a)cs.nctu.edu.tw); Chun-Ying Huang, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan (chuang(a)mail.ntou.edu.tw); Matthew Wright, University of Texas at Arlington (mwright(a)cse.uta.edu); and Georgios Kambourakis, University of the Aegean, Samos, Greece (gkamb(a)aegean.gr).

The scope of the workshop is broad and intended to accommodate a wide variety of backgrounds, attitudes, and ideas in wireless communications ranging from cellular broadband to ad hoc / mesh networking, and from the physical up to the application layers. We welcome contributions within a broad range of wireless networking cross-layer optimization, from fundamental information theoretic results to considerations for multimedia quality of service. Our goal is to have a single track meeting with lively scientific discussions and fruitful exchange of research views and perspectives. The program will be organized to promote networking activities between the participants including daily social outdoors activities, primarily skiing. We therefore invite submissions of extended abstracts (2 pages maximum, double column, IEEE style) for technical presentations or posters targeting, but not limited to the following topics: • Asymptotic system properties (capacity, connectivity, coverage, delay) • Scalability and manageability of network architectures • Resource management, mobility management, and admission control • Inter-networking and integration of wireless heterogeneous and multi-tier networks • Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and Internet of Things (IoT) • Performance engineering in WLAN, MESH, FSO, LTE, and other cellular or multitier technologies • Location and tracking • Wireless network planning, capacity analysis, and topology control • Self-organizing wireless networks • Game theoretic models, pricing and incentives • Energy efficiency and green communications • Delay tolerant wireless networks • Cognitive radios and cooperative/opportunistic communications • Massive MIMO (or large-scale antennas systems) • Compressed sensing applications in wireless networks • Ad hoc, mesh and sensor networks • Advanced physical layer solutions The organizers have secured funds for subsidies to support part of the costs for a limited number of participants.

Venue & Transportation ============================ The Fifth Nordic Workshop on System and Network Optimization for Wireless will take place at the Swedish ski resort of Åre in Jämtland. Having hosted the Alpine World Championships in 1954 and 2007 and with more than 30 modern ski-lifts the Åre Ski Area is the major center for alpine skiing in Sweden. The workshop venue, the Copperhill Mountain Lodge Hotel Åre [http://www.copperhill.se/en/], on the top of the Förberget Mountain opened in 2008, is the only mountain hotel in Scandinavia referred to as a Design Hotel, and is directly connected to the Åre ski area with its own platter lift, the Copperhill Express. The nearest airports, the Åre Östersund airport [http://www.swedavia.com/ostersund/], and the Værnes Trondheim airport [http://www.avinor.no/en/airport/trondheim], have scheduled flights from Stockholm's Arlanda airport and the Oslo's Gardermoen airport, seasonal and charter flights are also available. The Åre railway station is connected with direct trains to Stockholm as well.
