Opportunistic Networks are examples of wireless, ad hoc networks where there is an absence of a continuous end-to-end path. The proliferation of mobile device usage creates opportunities for nodes to forward packets in a dynamic way, utilizing nodes as they present themselves. When two devices come into contact, opportunistically, it provides an opportunity to match services to resources, exchange information, and forward messages. The scope of this workshop is to provide an international forum for researchers with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience in the field of Opportunistic Networks. ================== TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The main topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following: • Opportunistic routing • Social routing as applied to opportunistic or sensor networks • Optimization methods for opportunistic sensor networks • Modelling and simulation for opportunistic or sensor networks • Control of privacy and security problems in opportunistic or sensor networks • Analysing performance of opportunistic network algorithms and protocols • Methods for inviting opportunistic nodes and for controlling them • Methods for detecting suitable opportunistic nodes with useful resources and facilities • Intelligent systems that utilize opportunistic networking approaches • Emergent collective intelligent networks • Vehicular networking • Opportunistic networking for logistics and distribution • Opportunistic networking for e-business and m-business • Best practices, case studies and research use cases. The papers should be submitted electronically via the EIDWT-2012 submission system. Details are available from: • http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/~eidwt2011/submission.html Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and archived in the Digital Library (www.ieee.org, Xplore service, only abstracts are free). _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The basic idea is to make units of information accessible to the networking protocols and turn them into the unit of networking. Main advantages are conjectured to come from a much better support for mobility, data security, as well as caching and replication. ICN has by now been investigated in a number of projects. This special issue aims to collect new, innovative material on the theory, the design, and the practical applicability of ICN. In particular, material that advances the level of maturity, scalability and real-life dependability of ICN are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Analytic models for the behavior of information-centric networking, especially for scalability properties - Models for workloads (both amount of traffic as well as kinds and size of objects along with request patterns) - Capacity analysis of ICN - Caching in ICN, in particular, cache placement and cache management (e.g., replacement algorithms) along with resource management for caches, links, and routers - Coexistence of ICN protocol stacks with legacy stacks (e.g., IP) as well as coexistence of multiple ICNs with each other on the same network fabric - Suitability of ICN for all kinds of workloads, in particular, streaming and interactive multimedia workloads - Security in ICN - Mobility support by ICN - Energy efficiency of ICN - Active objects in ICN, adding functionality and execution semantics to information objects - Consistency and coherence models for replicated, static or active information objects, along with revision handling and updating protocols - Structuring applications on top of ICN (both legacy and possible new applications) as well as suitable application programming interfaces (complementing or replacing a "socket"-style interface standard) - Interoperability between different ICN solutions - Practical experience, test-beds, open-source software Tentative Schedule Submission deadline: April. 15, 2012 Author notification: June 30, 2012 Revised paper due: July 31, 2012 Final author notification: September 1, 2012 Guest Editors Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science Holger Karl, Universitat Paderborn Dirk Kutscher, NEC Laboratories, Europe Lixia Zhang, UCLA Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

However, a battery-powered system has a finite operation time. Power supplies using energy- harvesting devices apparently open the door to unlimited and uninterrupted operation. This requires a dedicated power management that predicts available power budgets and aims at maximizing performance metrics for a given budget. Power management encompasses many facets, such as power leakage, radio duty cycle, sampling rates, harvesting efficiency, energy intake prediction, etc. WORKSHOP FORMAT AND TOPICS The focus of this workshop is to provide a platform for discussing intermediate research results and for vivid exchange of ideas. It is also intended to identify required steps and promising future research directions within scope in order to push the penetration power of energy-harvesting sensor networks one step forward. For that purpose, we particularly enencourage preliminary contributions by Ph.D. students in addition to completed work. In addition to paper presentations, there will be a poster and demo session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Power management concepts for energy harvesting systems - Power-aware scheduling, algorithms, and operating systems - Network-wide and distributed energy management - Energy-aware network planning (e.g., routing, duty-cycle adaptation) - Scaling laws and fundamental limits - Energy and performance profiling - Online accounting of energy consumption - Energy-harvesting prototypes - Energy storage and buffers - Models of energy harvesters - Methods for energy intake prediction - Real-world deployments and field tests Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed in a blind review process. Papers will be selected according to their relation to the workshop scope, novelty, and quality of presentation. Diversity of workshop topics will also be considered. Accepted and presented papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Extensions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of "Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks".
