15 Mar '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-13) May 20-23, 2013 Boston, USA http://www.hds.utc.fr/iotip13/ *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 8, 2013 CameraReadyDue: April 15, 2013 Workshop Date: May 23, 2013 Call for papers: Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate"Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0 IoTIP features two tracks: -Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies - IoT systems and components - IoT for semantic web and personalization - Tools for developing IoT applications - Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT - Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT - Security and privacy control mechanisms - Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) - PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications - MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT - Mobility management - Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability - Object, device and service management - RFID, sensors, actuator technologies - Middleware - Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) - Test-beds and field trials - Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines : Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Datum: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:34:34 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)gmail.com> Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ============================================================= 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Included are also new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world WSN data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will be August 15 2013, notification August 22 2013.

Vielen Dank auf diesem Wege noch einmal allen, die diesen Workshop bereichert bzw. ermöglicht haben. Ich möchte euch auf diesem Wege an den zweiten Workshop im Rahmen der BUIS Tage erinnern und zur Einreichung von Kurzpapieren (Seiten) aufrufen. Viele Grüße Christian Bunse CFP: Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development (EASED@BUIS) **************************************************************************** *************** Call For Papers 2nd Workshop Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development (EASED@BUIS) ( <http://se.uni-oldenburg.de/eased2013> http://se.uni-oldenburg.de/eased2013) collocated with BUIS-Days: IT-based resource and energy management ( <http://enviroinfo.eu/de/5-buis-tage> http://enviroinfo.eu/de/5-buis-tage) April 25, 2013 Oldenburg (Oldb.), Kulturzentrum PFL, Peterstraße 3, Germany **************************************************************************** *************** Utilization of mobile and embedded devices, and thus their induced energy consumption, is constantly increasing. Reducing the energy consumption of such devices will not only improve the carbon footprint of contemporary mobile IT usage, but will also extend the device lifetime, improve user acceptance and reduce operational costs. Next to to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design and on operating system level, software engineering techniques will also contribute to optimize energy consumption by improving software design and software quality. The EASED@BIUS workshop, which follows up the Workshop on Developing Energy Aware Software Systems (EEbS 2012) ( <http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/medien/mobile-media/eebs-2012.html> http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/medien/mobile-media/eebs-2012.html), held at the annual GI Conference in September 2012, provides a broad forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss ongoing work, latest results and common topics of interest regarding the improvement of software induced energy consumption. Intensive discussions at the first workshop identified a major challenge in optimizing energy efficiency, which is to precisely measure energy consumption of software, regarding user behavior. Thus, the follow workshop EASED@BUIS will focus on the following topics: - approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the energy consumption of software components, - approaches to define standardized application scenarios on mobile devices to provide repeatable measurement of energy consumption in concrete application settings, - approaches to model the energy consumption of software components, and - experiences on measuring and improving the energy consumption of software components. Well elaborated and standardized measurement means will provide an important foundation to detecting sources of wasting energy caused by software systems and will enable validation means to verify energy savings by software improvements. EASED@BUIS will be organized as a one day discussion-intensive workshop to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants. It is intended to initiate collaborative works on standardizing (static and dynamic) measuring techniques for energy consumption. To further stimulate these discussions, authors are invited to submit position papers on the workshop´s topics. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will be published in Softwaretechnik-Trends ( <http://pi.informatik.uni-siegen.de/stt/> http://pi.informatik.uni-siegen.de/stt/).

13 Mar '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] International Workshop on Device-to-Device Communications and Networks Datum: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:37:12 +0800 Von: Lingyang Song <lingyang.song(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ============================================================================ First International Workshop on Device-to-Device Communications and Networks (D2D2013) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC), 12-14, Aug. 2013, Xi’an, China ============================================================================ **Aim of the Workshop** As more and more new mobile multimedia rich services are becoming available to larger audiences there is an ever increasing demand for higher data rate wireless access. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, which enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. However, many research challenges still exist, such as how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison. The future D2D networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. The aim of the workshop is to bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, and consulting firms) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future device-to-device communication and networks. In this workshop, the advances of wireless communications that enable device-to-device communications arising from the adoption of new technologies will be discussed. D2D2013 seeks papers dealing with architectural issues, theoretical studies, new paradigms, enabling technologies, practical implementations, and policy issues for device-to-device communication and networking problems. Besides the technical insights, the workshop will provide a supportive environment for technical discussions between like-minded researchers and engineers. **Topics of interests** Topics of interest relating to device-to-device communications for future wireless networks are (but not limited to): --Mobile-to-mobile channel modeling --Device discovery and association --Link management and mode selection --Power control and interference management --MIMO techniques --Cooperative D2D communications --Radio resource management (RRM) --Dynamic frequency allocation and spectrum sharing techniques --Self-optimization and self-healing --Mobility measurements, modeling and management --Multi-hop D2D communications --Heterogeneous wireless networks --Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios --Game theory and incentive mechanisms --Security issues --Green communications --Capacity off-loading and emergency communications --New services and applications **Submission Guidelines** D2D2013 accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of device-to-device communications and networks. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). The proceedings of the workshops program will be published as the ICCC2013 main conference, and will be also included by IEEE Digital Library and indexed by EI. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work, and one full registration can cover up to 3 papers. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website: http://www.ieee-iccc.org/submguide.html. **Important Dates** Paper submission: May 27, 2013 Notification: June 30, 2013 Final Paper : July 15, 2013 **Workshop General Chair** Prof. Xueming (Sherman) Shen, University of Waterloo, Canada **Workshop TPC Chair** Prof. Lingyang Song, Peking University, China **Workshop Industry Chair** Dr. Shaohui Sun, Datang Mobile, China **Contact Information** Dr. Lingyang Song School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, China.

IEEE S4Nets Workshop: Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks (deadline May 1th)
by Valeria Loscri 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

CALL FOR PAPERS ________________ International Workshop on Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks-(S4Nets) To be held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on selected topics in Mobile and Wireless Networking - MOWNET - 19-21 August, 2013, Montreal CANADA ========================================================================= August 19, 2013 Montreal, CANADA https://sites.google.com/site/s4nets2013/ ========================================================================== *****Important Dates***** Paper submission: May 1, 2013, Decision Notification: May 30, 2013 Camera Ready: June 20, 2013, MoWNet: August 10-21, 2013 *****Scope and Topics of Interests***** The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node mutation and evolution. The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization - New advancements in Software Defined Networking - Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision - Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks - Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization - Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies *****Submissions Guidelines***** Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.
