The extraordinary power of this vision is expected to lead to fundamental social change: it will affect the way in which we interact with our environment and each other, and will result in the creation of new business opportunities and new business models. However, the embedded nature of the technology and a lack of awareness of its potential social and personal consequences, as balanced against the more clearly articulated benefits, makes a special issue dedicated to security, privacy and trust very timely. Amongst other things, the reliance of IoT on simple, cheap, (inter)networked processors has profound implications on security; the potentially invasive nature of the information gathered has implications on privacy; and the implicit reliance on technology to make decisions on one's behalf makes mechanisms for expressing and reasoning about trust essential. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Addressing novel security challenges for the IoT, including use cases, threat models, protocols, and underlying technologies * Privacy and (limited) anonymity in the IoT: threats, mechanisms, guarantees, and policing * Trust management in the IoT * Interaction design for the IoT, with particular emphasis on providing trustworthy information from and control over ‘things’ to end users. * Legal, social and ethical issues in the IoT – in both developed and developing countries. * Real case studies For more details, please visit http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-is… Important dates Submission deadline: September 15th 2012 Notification: January 15th 2013 Editor in Chief Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology Guest Editors Sabrina Sicari, Università degli studi dell’Insubria Stephen Hailes, Univerisity College of London Uday Desai, Indian Institute of technology Hyderabad Sanaa Sharafeddine, Lebanese American University Damla Turgut, University of Central Florida _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

[AutoUI 2012 CfP] - "The Social Car" (socially-inspired C2X interaction)
by Andreas Riener 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

[our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | WORKSHOP "The Social Car" (socially-inspired C2X interaction) | | | | Portsmouth, NH, USA; October 17th 2012 | | colocated with AutomotiveUI 2011 (http://www.auto-ui.org/12) | | | | Workshop website: http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar/ | | Submission deadline (position papers): August 26th, 2012 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------| WORKSHOP SUMMARY |-------------------------- This workshop aims at discussing the potential of cars' socializing one with the other (similar to how humans are exchanging information), and not just translating the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm into the car domain. With the introduction of the concept of "social cars" we attempt to make a blueprint of next generation in-vehicle technologies. This is different from what the Internet of things (IoT) community is talking about in the sense that IoT is sufficient if it has its own ID that could be passively identifiable, whereas social cars have more autonomous capability, so they could serve as a more active and even interactive social being. The central objective is to provoke an active debate on the adequacy of the concept of socializing cars, addressing questions such as who can communicate what, when, how, and why? To tackle these questions we would like to invite researchers to take part in an in-depth discussion of this timely, relevant, and important field of investigation." ---------------------------| Workshop Themes |-------------------------- Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Social norm in the automotive domain * Relevant parameters to identify/describe social status or behavior of a car (incorporate the driver?) * Modeling techniques for handling social interaction behavior, e.g., traffic superorganism, pheromones, stigmergic behavior [3] * Benefit assessment: why should cars (maybe drivers) disclose their 'social status', 'social relationships'? * Understanding the potentials of socially inspired C2C communication * Crowdsourcing * Driving as a "collaboration" with either passengers or an agent * Implementation of agents/robots for improving V2V communications * The subject of V2V communications (driver to driver, passenger to passenger, driver to passenger, driver to agent, or agent to agent?) * Authentication for in-vehicle social services * Privacy, safety, and/or security issues related to in-vehicle social services * Plausible types of information in in-vehicle social services * Cultural differences in in-vehicle social services * V2V communications as a personal broadcasting station (or system) * Other than V2V, including V2I (vehicle to infrastructure using road- side units) or V2B (vehicle to broadband cloud (network)) * Optimal protocols for social cars (802.11p, Wimax, NFC, Bluetooth,..) Please submit your position papers (2-6 pages in length, ACM SIG format template; <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>) using the workshop paper submission system available at <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Workshop website: <http://www.pervasive.jku.at/AutoUI12_SocialCar> Contact: <mailto:riener@pervasive.jku.at> ------------------| Important Dates for the Workshop |------------------ * Submission deadline: August 26th, 2012 * Notification of acceptance: September 10th, 2012 * Camera ready version due: TBA * Registration deadline: TBA * Workshop date: October 17th, 2012 Please feel free to contact the organizers at any time.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP - 5th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVEC 2013) Datum: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 18:19:12 +0200 Von: "Schünemann, Björn" <bjoern.schuenemann(a)fokus.fraunhofer.de> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Several possible cross-network commonalities have been identified and there’s an emerging line of research that seeks a theoretical underpinning to these commonalities. Collectively these efforts are known as “network science”. This JSAC issue seeks to highlight advances in network science. Topics of interest for this issue include: * Insights from other types of networks that can be applied to communications problems (e.g. applying concepts from biological networks to communications networks); * Aggregate performance of combined networks (e.g. rather than modeling a social network and communications network separately, modeling them as one combined network); * Transmission of information through combined networks (including contagion or cascade effects); * Insights into the strengths and limitations of multi-network studies as applied to communications networks; * Communications network design inspired by network science principles More broadly, the issue welcomes any submission that is clearly applicable to communications networks and incorporates insights from non-communications networks. Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the IEEE J-SAC format described at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to: http://edas.info/12217. IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript submission: 15 August 2012 [** EXTENDED DEADLINE (FINAL) **] Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012* Final manuscript due: 1 February 2013 Publication: Q2 2013 *The editorial team hopes to make decisions somewhat earlier to permit some papers to get a second round of reviewing before final submission.
