-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers IEEE WiVEC 2013 [Deadline: 01 November 2012] Datum: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 18:39:06 +0200 Von: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] Dear colleagues, As the Publicity Chair of the IEEE WiVEC 2013, may I draw your attention please to this event in June 2013 in Dresden (Germany) addressing the topics vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) wireless communications. The deadline for paper submission is November 1, 2012. Further information is attached below. Best regards Björn Schünemann ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC 2013 June 2-3 2013, Dresden, Germany http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all wireless vehicular communication aspects of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 the fifth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 77th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2013 Spring, and will take place in Dresden on the 2nd and 3rd of June 2013. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2013-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009 and 2012. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-person (V2P) and vehicle-to-grid (V2V) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models, spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Radio resource management and interference management, MAC protocols * Vehicular networking (architectures, ad hoc, cellular and device-to-device, heterogeneous) * Dissemination strategies and data aggregation * Scalability, decentralized congestion control, QoS and cross-layer optimization * Security, liability and privacy * Integration and interworking (sensor network technologies, roadside infrastructure, in-car electronics and embedded systems) * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Applications (eCall, eTolling, safety, traffic efficiency, traffic management, green telematics, wireless diagnosis, driver compliance, etc.) * Electric vehicle communication, incl vehicle-to-grid communication * Standards development, business models, policies * Simulation models and tools * Testbeds, testing support, conformance and plug-tests, field testing results * Impact assessment on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2013/ Submission website : http://wivec2013.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extension August 20th, 2012: IROS'12 2nd Workshop on Robots and Sensors integration in future rescue, INformation system (ROSIN'12), Datum: Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:22:42 +0200 Von: Congduc Pham <congduc.pham(a)univ-pau.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Dear colleagues, The deadline for ROSIN has been extended until August 20th. Please could you help in advertising the CFP. Regards, ====================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IROS'12 2nd Workshop on Robots and Sensors integration in future rescue INformation system (ROSIN'12) October 2012, Vilamoura, Algarve (Portugal) Web site:http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/out/public/ROSIN2012.html ====================================================================================== This workshop will take place in October 11th, 2012 in Vilamoura, Algarve (Portugal), during the 2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS'12). This workshop is supported by the IEEE Robotics and Automation's Technical Committee on Safety Security and Rescue Robotics. Motivation and objectives Intelligent rescue systems including ITC and robotics technology have been proposed to mitigate disasters, especially in Japan after the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Reports on urban emergency relief point out that the most serious difficulty is the delay of communication of reliable information between the authorities in charge, especially district authorities, which are supposed to coordinate efforts in real-time and make requests for support at the city level. In order to do that, the infrastructure of information systems during disasters plays an important role. Future rescue information systems may involve a complex mixture of humans performing high level decision-making, intelligent agents coordinating the response, sensors networks providing real-time observations and robots undertaking physical tasks in large-scale environments with the possibility of taking part in the process of data collection. However, the considered environments are prone to uncertainty, ambiguity and incompleteness given their dynamic and evolving nature. The aims of the workshop are: - To present both state-of-the-art results and work in progress in the area of distributed sensing in the context of robotic and sensor networks integration, - To foster multi-disciplinary collaborations between researchers working on different topics: WSN (Wireless Sensors Network), robotic, disaster management, etc ... thus forming a base for future collaboration. This workshop will focus on the tight integration of sensors-robots and information systems during the rescue process. Topics that are of special interest include but are not limited to: - Distributed information gathering with sensors and robots, - Information systems for disaster management including Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDDS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and participatory GIS - GIS-based approaches for controlling robots, Advanced data management with mobile robots and sensors, GIS spatial representation for robotic systems, - Trust enhancement infrastructure for information gathering during a disaster, Co-design of communication and control protocols for robot-sensor interaction, - Role of robots and sensors in disaster and emergency management processes. The primary audience of the proposed workshop is intended to be researchers and practitioners both from academia and industry with an interest on integration robots, sensors and information systems in the context of disaster or emergency management. In addition, researchers and practitioners from related communities (disaster management, SDDS, GIS) will find this workshop quite useful. Journal Special Issue After the workshop, extended version of the papers could be submitted to the following journal special issues: Special issue of Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (ISSN 2224-2708) on Multimedia Sensor Networks for Mission-Critical Surveillance Applications. http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/special_issues/surveillance_app/ Special issue of International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (ISSN 1550-1329) on Perception, Reaction, and Cognition in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/349658/cfp/ Submissions guidelines All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Springer TSJ Special issue on Critical App. in Vehicular Ad Hoc/Sensor Net. Datum: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 12:29:51 +0800 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com> An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> *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). Please note in the subject line of the email, "SI_VSN_2012”. Papers would be judged by the expert reviewers based on the originality, methodology, novelty, and new innovations. Papers submitted for this special issue must not be submitted or are under consideration for publication anywhere.

The applications of large scale Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), Internet of People (IoP) are gaining increasing attention in the converged computing world with unprecedented complexities: the management of an application is much more difficult due to large number of involved devices, events and contexts, due to the heterogeneity of networking, hardware and software; the shifting of storage and processing to cloud systems, security and privacy concerns become more challenging. All in all, applications and systems tend to become more complex than before to manage and operate in the converged world. These challenges call for useful self-managing capabilities to alleviate existing problems. The realization of self-managing pervasive service systems needs cross-discipline research, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, pervasive and mobile computing, autonomic computing, software engineering, service oriented computing which are complementary with each other. Call for papers The workshop is soliciting papers on broad topics for self-managing pervasive service system. The topics of SeMaPS 2012 workshop include but not limited to: * Software engineering research on achieving self-management capabilities in the converged computing environments, for example autonomic components, architecture driven self-management in pervasive service systems, formal methods for regulating self-management activities; * Approaches and tools for building pervasive service systems which can span across small devices and powerful computing node including cloud nodes; * Ways of improving the intelligence of self-managing systems through different computing intelligence approaches, for example the use of different computing intelligence approaches for planning in self-management features; * Approaches to self-managing capabilities in pervasive service systems, to realizing self-protection, self-optimization, self-configuration/adaptation, self-diagnosis/healing; * Context-awareness for pervasive service systems include context modelling and reasoning for self-managing systems, for example the usage of efficient pattern recoginition algorithms to recognize the current contexts, new context modeling and reasoning approaches for achieving context-awareness; * New pervasive service systems including various applications for example smart transportation systems, smart logistic systems, smart manufacturing systems and robotic systems, etc.； * Environments and tools for the development of self-managing pervasive service systems We are accepting three kinds of papers, the first are original and unpublished research papers, the second are visionary papers accepted as “work in progress” papers, the thrid are demo papers and industrial papers that shows strong application of self-managing, pervasive service systems.

Soulé-Dupuy (Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, Toulouse, France) Abstract: Searching information can be realized thanks to specific tools called Information Retrieval Systems IRS (also called “search engines”). To provide more accurate results to users, most of such systems offer personalization features. To do this, each system models a user in order to adapt search results that will be displayed. In a multi-application context (e.g. when using several search engines for a unique query), personalization techniques can be considered as limited because the user model (also called profile) is incomplete since it does not exploit actions/queries coming from other search engines. So, sharing user models between several search engines is a challenge in order to provide more efficient personalization techniques. A semantic architecture for user profile interoperability is proposed to reach this goal. This architecture is also important because it can be used in many other contexts to share various resources models, for instance a document model, between applications. It is also ensuring the possibility for every system to keep its own representation of each resource while providing a solution to easily share it. “How to Trust: A Model for Trust Decision Making,” by M. Felici (The University of Edinburgh, UK) Abstract: This paper concerns decision-making processes that rely on trust. In particular, it analyzes how different aspects of trust (e.g. trust, trustworthiness, trustworthy evidence) influence trust decisions, and acting on them eventually. It proposes a trust decision model that structures the analysis of contextualized trust problems. Rather than seeking a general definition of trust, this paper advocates the necessity to have a structured way to analyze and characterize situational trust problems systematically. “A Variable Context Model for Adaptable Service-Based Applications,” by A. Bucchiarone (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy), C. Cappiello, E. Di Nitto, B. Pernici, and A. Sondonini (Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy) Abstract: Service-based applications (SBAs) rely on the invocation of services. The use of the service paradigm usually guarantees a high level of flexibility. In fact, applications can be easily reconfigured in order to continuously offer functionalities also in dynamic execution environments. This happens by changing the service selection and their composition. This flexibility can be exploited to design adaptable SBAs able to react to events that could happen during the application lifecycle. The execution flow of adaptable SBAs automatically changes on the basis of the context in which they are executing. The context includes information ranging from the situation in which users access the service-based applications to the status of the components involved in the execution of such applications. In this paper we propose a way to use context information to adapt SBAs. In particular, our goal is to discuss the way in which the context should be defined and managed in order to be exploited in the various activities related to the adaptation of service-based applications. “RELADO: RELiable and ADaptive Opportunistic Routing Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks,” R. Bruno, M. Conti (IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy), M. Nurchis (IMT Lucca, Lucca, Italy) Abstract: Opportunistic routing is considered as one of the most promising techniques to effectively limit performance degradation in wireless mesh networks caused by unpredictable channel variations and high loss rates. This paradigm defers the selection of the next hop after the packet reception to take advantage of any opportunity provided by broadcast transmissions. Most of the existing opportunistic approaches base the forwarder selection on end-to-end principles. However, in multi-hop wireless environments the cost of a path is not uniformly distributed over space, nor constant over time, hence even two equal-cost paths might present significantly different link quality distributions one from the other. This encourages the use of localized context to implement a more accurate selection of the possible forwarders after each packet transmission. Hence, in this paper we propose RELADO, an adaptive opportunistic routing protocol able to efficiently combine end-to-end with local information to ensure transmission resilience across the network. With this flexibility, RELADO is able to reduce packet loss by ensuring the best trade-off between throughput maximization and packet progress. An extensive set of ns2 simulations confirms the potentiality of RELADO to improve network performance when compared to both legacy unicast and opportunistic routing protocols. “Dual Monitoring Communication for Self-Aware Network-on-Chip: Architecture and Case Study,” L. Guang, E. Nigussie, J. Plosila (University of Turku, Finland), H. Tenhunen (Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) Abstract: Self-aware and adaptive Network-on-Chip (NoC) with dual monitoring networks is presented. Proper monitoring interface is an essential prerequisite to adaptive system reconfiguration in parallel on-chip computing. This work proposes a DMC (dual monitoring communication) architecture to support self-awareness on the NoC platform. One type of monitoring communication is integrated with data channel, in order to trace the run-time profile of data communication in high-speed on-chip networking. The other type is separate from the data communication, and is needed to report the run-time profile to the supervising monitor. Direct latency monitoring on mesochronous NoC is presented as a case study. Data message latency is directly traced in the integrated communication with a novel latency monitoring table in each router. The latency information is reported by the separate monitoring communication to the supervising monitor, which reconfigures the system to adjust the latency, for instance by dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. With quantitative evaluation using synthetic traces and real applications, the effectiveness and efficiency of direct latency monitoring with DMC architecture is demonstrated. The area overhead of DMC architecture is estimated to be small in 65nm CMOS technology. ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* NEXT ISSUES SUBMISSION DATES: September 11, 2012; November 16, 2012.

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction – a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, analyze, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Robustness, or the emergence of desired properties throughout system evolution. In particular, emergence of safety; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express and assess evolvability; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems; * Autonomic, adaptive, and resilient behaviors in embedded systems; * Embedded design practice covering adaptivity, autonomicity, and resilience.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CfP: JSAC Special Issue on Adaptive Media Streaming Datum: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:25:52 +0200 Von: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special Issue on Adaptive Media Streaming http://multimediacommunication.blogspot.gr/2012/07/jsac-special-issue-adapt… Recently, traditional TV services, Internet TV and mobile streaming services have started converging, and it is expected that this convergence trend will continue with other services. Additionally, new emerging multimedia services are being introduced. These developments in the multimedia arena mean that various content and services will be delivered over different networks, and the users expect to consume these services using those networks, depending on the availability and reach of the network at the time of consumption. This massive heterogeneity in terms of terminal/network capabilities and user expectations requires efficient solutions for the transport of modern media in an interoperable and universal fashion. In particular, in recent years, the Internet has become an important channel for the delivery of multimedia. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is widely used on the Internet and it has also become a primary protocol for the delivery of multimedia content. Additionally, standards developing organizations (SDOs) such as MPEG have developed various technologies for multimedia transport and encapsulation, e.g., MPEG2-TS (Transport Stream) and MPEG4 file format. These technologies have been widely adopted and are heavily deployed by various providers and in different applications and services, such as digital broadcasting, audio and video transport over the Internet and streaming to mobile phones, etc. At the same time, many other SDOs such as the IETF, IEEE, and 3GPP have provided various protocols to deliver multimedia content packetized or packaged by such MPEG transport technologies. This special issue solicits novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of Adaptive Streaming of Multimedia. The main objectives of this special issue are (but not limited to): - Efficient delivery of multimedia content in an adaptive, progressive download/streaming fashion (incl. over HTTP); - Support for streaming of live multimedia, to mobile users, low-capacity channels, bandwidth variations, as well as multipoint streaming over heterogeneous channels or paths; - Efficient and ease of use of existing content distribution infrastructure components such as CDNs, proxies, caches, NATs and firewalls; - Efficient content generation (encoding) techniques for content delivery (e.g., segmentation); - Detailed performance analyses of deployed standard technologies or that uncover and rectify major problems in the behavior of such technologies; - Measurement techniques for collecting consumption data (both application and transport-level performance metrics, viewer behavior, etc.) in content delivery; - The effects of adaptation techniques on the end-user quality of experience; - Viewer experiences from large-scale experiments and events (such as Olympics, World Cup, etc.). Submission Procedure ==================== Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the 'Information for Authors' section of the JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE ANTS 2012: Call for Papers CFP (Bengaluru, India - Dec 2012) Datum: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:34:53 -0700 Von: Ming Xia <xiaming.ucd(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ****************************************************************************** UPDATE: Select papers presented at the IEEE ANTS conference have been featured in special issues of the Elsevier Optical Switching and Networking (OSN) journal (SCI indexed). CALL FOR PAPERS 6th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunication Systems (ANTS) IEEE ANTS 2012 Bengaluru (Bangalore), India December 16-19, 2012 http://www.ieee-comsoc-ants.org *Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc)* EDAS link for paper submission: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12149 Scope: We are witnessing a paradigm shift in networking where the end user demands and cloud computing based service paradigms are influencing evolving network architectures, system designs and service delivery models. Over-the-Top (OTT) players, consumer electronic vendors, IT providers and 3rd party software developers have entered the service delivery value chain fostering an open environment challenging the hegemony of traditional network operators. IT & Telecom, hitherto distinct domains, are now spoken of as ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) symbolizing the close interworking of these disciplines in the emerging service delivery architectures. Different vertical industries such as energy utilities, healthcare, automotive, banking & finance, retail, media entertainment are leveraging network technologies in innovative ways to offer branded services directly or in partnership with network providers. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) have opened new vistas for communications and networking technologies. ANTS is the premier IEEE forum on networking and telecommunications topics in India. The distinguishing characteristic of IEEE ANTS is the promotion of an intense dialogue between academia and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives and governmental policies. This is fostered through panel discussions, keynotes, and invited talks where academia is exposed to state-of-practice and results from industry trials, and interoperability experiments. The industry is benefited in turn by exposure to leading-edge research in networking as well the opportunity to communicate to academic researchers which practical problems require further research. Further, an opportunity is provided to discuss governmental policies and make recommendations as appropriate to promote an innovation economy in India. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first five IEEE ANTS events in Mumbai in 2007, 2008, 2010, in New Delhi in 2009, and in Bangalore in 2011, the theme of 2012 event is on enabling content enriched personalized communication over "green" networks while delivering exemplary user experience on any connected device. To address this theme, the conference will feature a rich industry program comprising of keynote talks, panel discussions as well as a high quality technical program of peer-reviewed papers, tutorials, and invited talks on relevant topics bringing together experts from industry, academia and government. IEEE ANTS 2012 will provide an exciting meeting ground for the confluence and exchange of ideas among participants from all over the world.
