-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] M2M SI in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials (Deadline: 1 Oct 2012) Datum: Sun, 22 Jul 2012 19:50:14 -0700 (PDT) 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 Communications Surveys & Tutorials Special Issue on “Machine-to-Machine Technologies & Architectures” An unprecedented communication paradigm facilitating the connection between a prior unseen number of devices is currently gripping both industrial as well as academic communities. Referred to as machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, it is essentially composed of three key ingredients: 1) a wireless end-device, 2) an infrastructure-based or infrastructure-less wireless carrier network, and 3) the back-end server network. M2M systems bear very specific and unparalleled challenges in both research and development. Prime design drivers here are the need for virtually zero-outage, immediate-response and high-efficiency to support reliable, green, long-living and delay-constrained M2M applications. With no clear winner established so far, two orthogonal approaches have thus commenced to contend for the M2M market, i.e. 1) cellular solutions which rely on wide coverage (GSM, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, etc.); and 2) purely embedded short-range solutions relying on cheap deployments (low-power Wi-Fi, ultralow-power Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.). The aim of this special issue on machine-to-machine is to collect from industrial and academic players tutorials and surveys related to latest M2M technologies and architectures. Contributions on major developments and updates on M2M systems will be considered. Of great interest are currently being standardized, already standardized but also promising M2M technologies and architectures. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: • data centric approaches (M2M data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) • protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) • technology centric approaches (cellular M2M technologies, capillary M2M technologies, etc.) • architecture centric approaches (ETSI M2M, 3GPP MTC, WiMAX approaches, etc.) • inter-system and heterogeneous approaches (M2M coexistence with other technologies, etc.) • key functionalities (security, synchronization, virtualization, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of M2M and explicitly consider their constraints in terms of large number of nodes, short messages, resource constraints, etc. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-TTS guidelines (http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/surveys/authors.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee) according to the timetable below.

However, the limited computing and information/energy storage capabilities of mobile devices are hampering their abilities to support increasingly sophisticated applications demanded by users. The emerging cloud computing technology offers a natural solution to extend the limited capabilities of mobile devices. The resulting new paradigm of mobile cloud computing is being embraced by researchers and practitioners as an exciting new way to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and mobile platforms, which has the potential for profound impacts on the business environment and people's daily life. Empowered by mobile cloud computing, previously infeasible mobile applications are finding their ways into mobile devices. These emerging applications range from mobile storage and synchronization, fast content delivery, audio/video streaming, to interactive rich media services. Nevertheless, the implementation and wide deployment of these applications are complicated by various technical challenges across different layers in wireless networks. For example, there is a need to better understand the gaps between the quality of service (QoS) requirements of cloud-based applications and the variable performance of wireless networks due to the dynamic channel environments, and to develop novel solutions to overcome these gaps. Moreover, the design and operations of mobile cloud computing should also be sensitive to the limited energy supply in the mobile devices and system-wide energy conservation in general. As a result, advanced cognitive and adaptive techniques are highly deman ded for mobile cloud computing. Moreover, new perspectives can be taken by both academic researchers and practitioners to demystify the technical challenges and propose ground-breaking solutions. Scope of Contributions This special issue aims to explore recent advances and disseminate state-of-the-art research on designing, building, and deploying novel services and technologies to enable Mobile Cloud Computing. Original, unpublished contributions and survey/tutorial type articles will be considered for the special issue. The topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to: Multi-technology and multi-device access to mobile cloud computing Cognitive and ubiqutous access control for mobile cloud computing Access and communication schemes for cloud computing in mobile environment Flexible architecture of mobile technologies for supporting cloud computing Cloud computing to enable mobile rich media Cloud-based mobile audio/video streaming techniques Cloud-assisted 3D/multiview rending for mobile devices Cloud-based real-time interactive multimedia service for mobile users Performance evaluation of rich media service supported by mobile cloud computing Quality of Experience (QoE) studies and improvements for mobile cloud computing Green Mobile Cloud Computing Dynamic allocation alogrithms of computing load and networking load for mobile devices Energy-efficient multimedia service in mobile cloud computing Energy consumption measurement and profiling of mobile devices for cloud computing Power efficiency in datacenter management for mobile cloud applications Next-generation Mobile Cloud Computing Services and Applications New applications for cloud-supported mobile online gaming and other entertainments. Scalable live broadcasting for mobile users supported by cloud computing New convergence services supported by mobile cloud computing techniques (e.g., monitoring, transportation, smart grid, healthcare, etc.) Social networking services and mobile cloud computing Security and privacy issues in mobile cloud computing Cloud-based Ubiquitous Networking Cloud-based support of device and user mobility Cloud-based multi-technology access management Cloud-based radio resource management in wireless networks Cloud-based radio link optimization techniques Manuscript Submission Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine guidelines for preparation of the manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerMoby 2013 CFP Datum: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 12:36:58 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2013) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby in conjunction with PerCom 2013 (http://www.percom.org) March 18-22, San Diego, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2012 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).
