Conference on Communications (ICC'13) Budapest, Hungary, June 9-13, 2013. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Important Dates *************** Abstract Registration: January 4, 2013 Paper Submission Deadline: January 11, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 22, 2013 Camera-Ready Submission: March 8, 2013 Scope ***** The two seemingly distinct topics of E2Nets are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to a GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient Service discovery and Service Provisioning * Energy efficient algorithms and implementations in Internet of Things and Future Internet To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient home automation and energy monitoring * Applications to Smart grids Tentative Committee ******************* General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada * Ignas Niemegeers, WMC, TU Delft, The Netherlands TPC Chairs * R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Final Call - Springer's TSJ SI on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Network Datum: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 06:37:00 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for multiple copies, if received]* Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems, Springer * *Special Issue on Critical Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Networks URL:* http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/CFP_VSN_TSJ2012.pdf *Theme and Scope * For the past few decades, Vehicular ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a key technology serving community of peoples in various applications. During this era, there has been a tremendous growth in this field with many new techniques and standards have been developed for the ease and safety of the passengers. Now, the passengers during travelling can take smart decisions by knowing the outside environment variables such as traffic conditions, density of the vehicles in a particular region, duration of traffic lights in a particular areas, etc. Moreover, these passengers can download and upload the heavy contents while travelling with the aid of the already deployed Road Side Unit (RSUs) which are connected to Internet to provide various services to the end users. Modern Vehicles equipped with sensor nodes monitor and collect the data in sparse and dense regions which can be processed for the benefit of community of peoples, e.g., health monitoring and diagnostic systems, safety alarms, intelligent transport systems, and environment monitoring. The vehicles during movement, equipped with sensor nodes, can also collect the data from human body and that data can be processed in collaboration with the other vehicles for various medical purposes. In this case, VANETs can also be used in Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). However, as a new technology emerges, it throws new challenges to the research community. Although there exist many solutions of different kinds in the relevant areas, there is still a requirement of more efficient solutions which can be used in wide variety of applications. Many industrial and academic institutions have already geared up to provide solutions for the benefits of the community. Moreover, there are many constraints that have to be resolved before providing any standard solution. Some examples of the constraints are; mobility of the nodes, connectivity in sparse and dense regions, failure of nodes, network traffic congestion and interference, etc. Submission is solicited from researchers across the globe in the following issues (but not limited to these): - Efficient route selection in sparse and dense regions in presence of mobility of the nodes - Optimized cluster selection on the road - Optimized access point deployment for better coverage and uninterrupted services to all the vehicles on the road - Security during the data dissemination - Cache management for peer to peer (P2P) information sharing - Load balancing in VANET/Sensor networks - Optimized Service selection and resource discovery - Providing QoS to various services - Solutions to various critical applications such as health monitoring system, safety alarms etc. - Channel allocation and selection in VANETs *Submission Guidelines* Authors can see manuscript preparation guideline here: http://www.springer.com/business+%26+management/business+information+system… Authors are required to submit papers as an all-in-one PDF file to any of the Guest Editors (CC to all is preferred).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC SI on D2D Communications Datum: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 08:53:54 -0800 (PST) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Device-to-Device Communications in Cellular Networks (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/DevicetoDeviceCFP.pdf) Mobile data traffic, especially mobile video traffic, has dramatically increased in recent years with the emergence of smart phones, tablets, and various new applications. It is hence crucial to increase network capacity to accommodate these bandwidth consuming applications and services. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, both for licensed and unlicensed spectrum. It enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. D2D communication may either be network-controlled where the operator manages the switching between direct and conventional cellular links, or the direct links may be managed by the devices without operator control. D2D allows combining infrastructure-mode and ad hoc communication. Device-to-device communications may have advantages such as: 1) improved performance for devices; 2) improved spectrum reuse and system throughput; 3) offloading in cellular networks; 4) improved energy efficiency; 5) extended coverage; 6) creation of new services. It also poses new problems and challenges. A issue is 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 special issue addresses research advances that enable D2D communications in cellular networks. The goal is to report on the most up-to-date contributions in this area. Device-to-device communication must be central to all topics that include, but are not limited to, the following. •Power and interference management •Proximity-based detection and offloading •Self-organizing device discovery •Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication •Device vs operator controlled link establishment •Link management and mode selection •Capacity analysis and energy efficiency evaluation •Group communication and broadcasting •Multi-hop D2D communications •Quality improvement for real-time applications •Channel measurements and modelling •Mobility measurements, modelling and management •New services and applications Submission Guideline Authors should refer to the submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html) to prepare their papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE Sensors Journal SI on Internet of Things (IoT) Datum: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 08:48:43 -0800 (PST) Von: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Chonggang Wang <cgwang833(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IEEE Sensors Journal SI on Internet of Things (IoT): Architecture, Protocols and Services (http://www.ieee-sensors.org/files/2012/09/IEEE_Sensors_IoT_SI_CfP-Final1.pdf) Submission Due: January 31, 2013 The Internet of Things was “Born” between 2008 and 2009, when the number of things connected to the Internet exceeded the number of people connected. By 2020, several tens of billions of devices are predicted to be connected. It is envisioned that the physical things/devices will be outfitted with different kinds of sensors and actuators and connected to the Internet via heterogeneous access networks enabled by technologies such as embedded sensing and actuating, radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, real-time and semantic web services, etc. IoT is actually a network of networks with many unique characteristics. With the huge number of things/objects and sensors/actuators connected to the Internet, a massive and in some cases real-time data flow will be automatically produced by connected things and sensors. It is important to collect correct raw data in an efficient way; but more important is to analyze and mine the raw data to abstract more valuable information such as correlations among things and services to provide web of things or Internet of services. However many challenges and problems remain unsolved as of now or not fully addressed due to the unique features of IoT systems. First, IoT needs an appropriate architecture such as a service-oriented, a content-centric, or a thing-centric architecture. Second, it is truly challenging to design efficient protocols to cater for diverse IoT devices, sensors and services. The goal of this special issue of IEEE Sensors Journal is to feature latest advances and directions in IoT architecture, protocols and services for typical IoT use cases (such as smart grid, connected cars, smart cities, etc), their performance, impact, demands and implications on future Internet design. The emphasis of this special issue will be on the sensor aspects of IoT. Scope Papers should contain original results or review/tutorial content to be accessible to general audiences working in the field. Topics of interest are listed, but not limited to, as follows: * Sensors in scalable IoT architecture * Mobile and participatory sensor networks for IoT * Wireless sensor networks for IoT * Sensing and actuating as an IoT service * Sensor network virtualization * IoT identification, addressing and naming schemes * Sensor communications protocols for IoT: energy efficiency, security & privacy, autonomous management * IoT sensor data collection, management and analytics * Semantic sensor services for IoT * Cloud computing and services for IoT * Big sensor data for IoT * New IoT applications and use cases * IoT test-beds in realistic environments * IoT standardization Submissions Guideline All manuscripts must be submitted on-line for the standard IEEE Sensors Journal peer review process, via the IEEE Manuscript CentralTM, see http://sensors-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] MONET SI on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks -- EXTENDED DEADLINE Datum: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 01:31:02 +0100 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Antwort an: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)UM.ES> Organisation: University of Murcia (UMU), Spain An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 (2011 Impact Factor: 0.838 -- 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.494) Special Issue on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks The advances in wireless communication technologies toward 4G networks and the wide use of mobile devices have enabled users to communicate with each other and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of access networks and systems everywhere, anytime. However, the always-connected mobile device usage model brings to the foreground new security and privacy issues for both the end-user and network/service provider. For example, such a multi-domain and heterogeneous environment poses serious threats to the end-user who has contract with and trusts only a limited number of operators and service providers. In this respect, secure, reliable, and privacy-preserving communications combined with constant network availability are essential factors for the adoption of any service or application that utilize wireless technologies. Also, the tight-coupling of these wireless network domains to the Internet make them more susceptible to attacks. New security challenges emerge constantly due to the open nature of the wireless medium, the dynamic network topology, the lack of common security/privacy policy used by network operators, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, in some cases, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The objective of this special issue is to foster state-of-the-art contributions in the area of security, privacy, and its applications for future mobile communication networks. In particular, our focus will be on network layer security with the intention to address all aspects of the modeling, designing, implementation, assessment, deployment and management of mobile network security and privacy-preserving mechanisms, protocols and architectures. We encourage original and high quality contributions to the evaluation, enhancement of security and privacy-preserving mechanisms for current mobile technologies as well as novel proposals for efficient security and privacy solutions of emerging mobile and wireless technologies. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Lightweight Security Infrastructure - IMS security and privacy issues - Privacy and anonymity - Intrusion detection and avoidance - Modularized security architectures and implementations - Threat and vulnerability modeling - Lightweight AAA infrastructures - Privacy and Security Compliance - Security issues related to mobility in heterogeneous networks - Security of mesh networks - Trust establishment, negotiation, and management - Secure Multicast/Broadcast Service - Lightweight cryptography - Cross Layer approach to security - Key agreement, distribution and management - Trusted Platform Modules - Access control management systems - Privacy-preserving location-based services - Secure social networking for mobile devices - Biometric solutions for mobile devices - Security and privacy for QR codes - Reputation management models - Secure mobile ecosystems - Formal security verification methods All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. Schedule: Manuscript submission deadline: Dec. 23, 2012 (Extended) Authors to receive a 1st decision by: Mar. 15, 2013 Final notification of acceptance: June 30, 2013 Publication of special issue: (Subject to MONET Schedule) Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the instructions to authors available at the journal's homepage http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 - kindly click the "Instruction for Authors" in the box on the right side.
