Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to the > ir destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. > > This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking.

08 Feb '13

CFP: Smart City and Ubiquitous Computing Applications Workshop (co-located with WoWMoM 2013, Madrid 4-7 June 2013) Call for Papers As the world experiences unprecedented urban growth, decision makers have become very alert calling for urgent solutions to the resulting issues and newly identified problems. Fortunately, the recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems. As a result, research and industrial efforts are beginning to focus on work in that direction and towards Smart Sustainable Cities; the aim is to integrate and validate ICT technologies and services in neighborhoods to make progress towards intelligent cities by exploiting ubiquitous technologies. In addition to technical developments, attention is given to innovative service business models which include security, safety and privacy issues. The need to improve our understanding of cities, however, is pressed not only by the social relevance of urban environments, but also by the availability of new strategies for city-scale interventions that are enabled by emerging technologies. This workshop aims to showcase latest advances in Smart City and Ubiquitous Computing applications which are the result of research efforts that incorporate new technologies from the areas of mobile communications, multimedia services, data storage and handling and ubiquitous services. The workshop covers (but is not limited to) the following areas: Urban Analysis and Modeling: - data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption - Designing new cities through evidence-based processes - Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, buildings and location of resources - Development of nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) - Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities - Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technology for cities Mobility Networks: - Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines - New urban vehicles including electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. - Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces - Scheduling, charging and security technology for shared-use vehicle systems - Electronic parking systems - Multimedia pervasive computing for smart cities Electronic and Social Networks: - New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems - Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities - Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility - Systems tailored for more stable, fair, and socially efficient services Work and living places - Personalized, transformable urban housing - Variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces - Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work - Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity - Responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and work Workshop Chairs Anastasios D.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) at IEEE SECON 2013 Datum: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 09:24:10 -0500 Von: Krishna Kumar Venkatasubramanian <kven(a)wpi.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you received multiple copies of the CFP] *********************** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) In Conjunction with IEEE SECON 2013 New Orleans, LA, USA June 24-27, 2013 URL: http://dc-mmds.cs.wpi.edu/ *********************** SCOPE: A decade ago, medical devices were largely simple standalone entities. Today, wireless networking capabilities, sophisticated data processing, and new sensors and actuators are increasingly being incorporated into mobile medical devices that promise to improve a clinician’s ability to diagnose and treat a range of acute and chronic medical conditions. This new generation of mobile medical device systems (MDDS) faces a variety of challenges. Such devices are often implanted, ingested, or worn and deployed as a part of pervasive health monitoring system. Some interact directly with a patient’s biological systems in order to provide coordinated, closed-‐loop care. In order for these mobile medical cyber-‐physical systems to be successful, one needs to develop targeted platforms and technologies. This is particularly challenging because of the devices used in MMDS have to be small and unobtrusive. This makes them severely resource constrained in nature. Architectures developed for the desktop and hand-‐held computing world ill suited for such applications. Further, as people who have limited understanding of the underlying technologies will use such devices, the usability of such systems, from user-‐interface to sustainability to interoperability with other devices to configuration, is very important. These challenges have been recognized, in the abstract, in the community for some time. However, there has not been a dedicated forum for discussing ideas on building mobile medical devices. This proposed workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry to address challenges facing the design and implementation of mobile medical device platforms. TOPICS: Relevant topics include but are not limited to: • Novel hardware platforms and architectures for MMDS • Novel sensing systems for MMDS • Actuation and drug delivery systems for MMDS • Efficient automatic control systems for MMDS • Novel data and signal processing for MMDS • Enabling device interoperability for MMDS • Energy harvesting and sustainability for MMDS • Trust, security and privacy technologies of MMDS • Human factors and usability for MMDS • Regulatory issues for MMDS SUBMISSIONS: Papers must be no longer than 5 pages and in font size no smaller than 10 points. Additional paper formatting instructions can be found on the conference web-‐site: http://www.ieee-secon.org.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] WiSARN 2013-Spring - || May 20-23, 2013, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA - (In conjunction with IEEE DCOSS'13) Datum: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 10:17:27 +0800 Von: LIANG HE <heliang1983(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers The 7th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2013-Spring) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~zhuan045/WiSARN/WiSARN2013.html To be held in conjunction with The 9th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'13) May 20-23, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library after the conference and included in DCOSS 2013 proceedings.
