MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys-pcchairs14(a)umich.edu. Important Dates: - Abstract registration deadline: December 3, 2013, 11:59:59 PM EST (December 4, 2013, 04:59:59 AM UTC) - Paper submission deadline: December 10, 2013, 11:59:59 PM EST (December 11, 2013, 04:59:59 AM UTC) - Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2014 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems - Innovative mobile and mobile sensing applications - Tools for building and measuring mobile systems - Wearable computing and innovative mobile devices - Software architectures for mobile devices - Data management for mobile applications - Infrastructure support for node mobility - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Operating systems for mobile devices - Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web - Security and privacy in mobile systems - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - Vehicular wireless systems - User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems - Personal-area networks and systems - Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As is customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review process. We strongly encourage perspective author(s) to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. New in 2014: As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3)
by Lars Wolf 12 Sep '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Datum: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:15:40 -0400 Von: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> Antwort an: Danilo Tardioli <dantard(a)UNIZAR.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ============== CALL FOR PAPERS =============== The 2nd Int'l Workshop on Mobility and Communication for Cooperation and Coordination (MC3) Montevideo, Uruguay, November 25, 2013 http://mc3-2013.hds.utc.fr/ Hosted at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR) 2013 Scope and Objectives of MC3 -------------------------------------- The constant progress of both wireless technologies and robotics is rapidly leading to the convergence of these two fields towards the definition of a new discipline, wireless networked robotics (WNR), tackling multi-robot systems that can exploit the presence of a network medium for information sharing, interaction, and cooperation. In the past, communication and control have often been seen as two independent components of a robotic system, with the robot being passive with respect to networking and active in relation to other sensory-motor choices. Similarly, in networking, control actions other than communications are seen as external to the network device, and modeled as passive aspects of the system. Only limited work has addressed the inclusion of control mechanisms inside the classical ISO/OSI stack or through cross-layering approaches (mainly for energy consumption and mobility control). However, in WNR, adopting this differentiation between control and communication does not allow to fully exploit the capabilities of the system, since it directly impacts on the quality and reliability of robots' information flows. Networking and control need to be put in closed loop with each other} in order to fully unleash the power of a multi-robot system in terms of coordination and cooperative behaviors. In particular, controlled mobility can be play an important role supporting networking, and, in turn, boosting information sharing and robot to robot interactions. Similarly, networking parameters and policies need to continually adapt to the needs and constraints of the tasks the robots are engaged in. The MC3 workshop aims to address these issues, focusing on the investigation of the mutual interplay and adaptation between control and communication in networked systems featuring the presence of (heterogeneous) multiple mobile robots and sensors. The workshop will provide a contribution laying the pathway towards the information-centric design of cooperative, autonomous and self-organized robotic networks. Topics of Interest ---------------------- The workshop aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design and implementation of architectures, algorithms, and protocols for current and future applications of Wireless Networked Robotics, with an emphasis on the use of mobility. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of this discipline. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Communication and motion-aware protocols for coordination and the cooperation of heterogeneous devices * Novel communication approaches for multi-robot wireless communications in different scenarios: aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial * Novel network stack or cross-layer architectures that include robot motion and control as network primitives * Intelligent use of controlled mobility to support and to be supported by networking * Cognitive radio and its applications to wireless networked robotics * Cooperative networking for cooperative task execution in multi-robot systems * Machine learning and bio-inspired approaches for wireless networked robotics * Use cases, novel applications, and testbeds for wireless networked robotics Venue ----- MC3 will be part of ICAR, the 16th International Conference on Advanced Robotics which be held at the School of Engineering of the Universidad de la República del Uruguay, in Montevideo, on November 25-29, 2013. This is the second edition of the MC3 workshop. In 2012 it was organized in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communication (ICNC), in Maui, Hawaii. The long-term objective is to keep organizing the MC3 workshop every year at a different conference, alternating between networking and robotics conferences. Paper Submission ------------------------ The deadline for paper submission is October 5, 2013. The maximum length for a paper is 8 pages in the IEEE format. Papers will be reviewed by three reviewers according to a single blind peer process. Papers, in PDF format need to be submitted to the following e-mail address, using 'MC3' as subject: mc3.icar(a)gmail.com. Please refer to the website http://mc3-2013.hds.utc.fr/ for the full information about paper format and submission procedure.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] [CFP] IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) Datum: Mon, 09 Sep 2013 10:45:40 +0200 Von: Andreea Picu <picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch> Antwort an: picu(a)tik.ee.ethz.ch Organisation: ETH Zürich An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2014) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2014 (http://www.percom.org) March 24-28 2014, Budapest, Hungary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, such proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 43. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission via EDAS at http://edas.info/N15441. IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 4, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2013 - Camera ready: Late January, 2014 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Theus Hossmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Henrik Blunck, University of Aarhus, Denmark Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR Jordi Cucurull, Scytl Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Maciej Kurant, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Min Wu, Oracle Corporation, USA Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK Yaxiong Zhao, Amazon.com Inc, USA Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy PUBLICITY CHAIR Andreea Picu, ETH Zurich, Switzerland -- -- Andreea Picu Communication Systems Group (CSG), ETH Zurich Web: www.csg.ethz.ch/people/apicu Office: ETZ G 96, Gloriastrasse 35, 8006 Zurich Phone: +41 44 632 6894 Fax: +41 44 632 1035 _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine
by Lars Wolf 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:47:38 +0100 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele.nogueira(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Disaster Resilience in Communication Networks *Aims and Scope* Society's increasing dependence on communication networks, the Internet and their services is evident from the wide range of activities that use electronic media, from entertainment to critical operations related to commerce, finance and life care. Humanity relies on the Internet to access information, obtain services, manage finances, and communicate with others. Businesses use the Internet to transact commerce with consumers and other businesses. Governments depend on communication networks for their daily operation and service delivery. The military depends on the Global Information Grid to execute network centric operations and warfare. Hence, in addition to transportation-infrastructure, power-generation, and distribution-grid public/private networks, the Internet and other publicly accessible communication networks are today critical infrastructures upon which our lives and prosperity depend. Given this dependence, vulnerabilities of communication networks and the Internet can significantly impact our lives. The dependence on communication networks and the Internet makes them an attractive target for attacks and intrusions attempting to either obtain information or disrupt service of individuals, businesses, government and military. These networks and services are also susceptible to accidents, faults or natural disasters that can disrupt service. Examples of natural disasters that compromised the network infrastructure are the hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. In the face of these difficulties, the need for greater resilience has been recognized for wireline and wireless networks and for the Internet. Resilience has classically been defined as the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults, accidents, attacks and natural disasters. This subject has attracted the attention of researchers, industry and governments around the world. Today, resilience can be considered an essential characteristic in the design and operation of networks to withstand the intrusions described above. Furthermore, we must now expand resilience to include new requirements, such as scalability, dynamic and opportunistic topologies, and global interoperation and interdependence among networks. This feature topic call-for-papers solicits recent, relevant works related to disaster resilience, especially in emerging networks. The main goal is to provide for the *IEEE Communications Magazine *an overview of the state-of-the-art of resilience, and to identify the new challenges from emerging network infrastructures in terms of scalability, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. Works addressing resilience issues in the context of new communication technologies, such as software-defined networks, cognitive radio and emerging optical technologies are of particular interest. *Topics* Articles describing original research and development as well as survey articles related to disaster resilience are solicited. The topics to be covered by this feature topic include, but are not limited to: * Disaster resilience for the following technologies: - LTE, LTE-A, 4G, Small Cells, femto-cells - Heterogeneous wireless networks - Access Networks - Flexible Optical Networks - Overlay and multi-layer networks - Virtualized Networks - Software-Defined Networks (SDN) - Datacenters, Cloud infrastructures, Networks for Big Data - Smart Grids, M2M - Green networks * Disaster resilience approaches coping with: - Mitigation and reconstruction of network infrastructure - Management for post disaster network infrastructure reconstruction - Network infrastructure adaptive capacity - Disaster risk reduction - Risk management and sustainability - Community and social engagement in providing communication infrastructure in disaster situation - Knowledge management and integration - Public policy and governance to build disaster resilient smart cities - Energy efficiency *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the *IEEE Communications Magazine*’s guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is very important to note that the *IEEE Communications Magazine* strongly limits mathematical content, the number of figures and tables, and the number of references. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Select “October 2014/Disaster Resilience” as the submission category. *Important Dates* Manuscript Submission Due: February 1, 2014 Acceptance Notification: June 1, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: August 1, 2014 Publication: October 2014 *Guest Editors* Michele Nogueira, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil Piotr Cholda, AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland Deep Medhi, University of Missouri - Kansas City, USA Robert Doverspike, AT&T Labs Research, USA *Further Information* http://www.comsoc.org/commag/call-for-papers -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Michele Nogueira <<michele AT inf.ufpr.br <http://inf.ufpr.br>>> Ph.D. in Computer Science www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele <http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~michele> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
