HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for our Doctoral Consortium describing novel work on mobile systems, applications and services. The Doctoral Consortium will consist of several short, "work-in-progress" style talks at the end of each session. By giving each student a short slot at the end of each session during the workshop, students will be able to present their doctoral work to a broad audience, and interact directly with workshop attendees. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Submission Instructions ------------------------------ Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. In addition, please submit a 3-slide (excluding the title) presentation (preferably PowerPoint) outlining the main ideas of the submitted abstract. Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Doctoral Consortium Chair at: mailto: delara [at] cs.toronto.edu subject line: "HOTMOBILE DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SUBMISSION" The body of the email should include the title of the proposed talk as well as the names of the student and their advisor, including affiliations.

These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system. Topics ------- The list of topics for this special issue includes: -Network and system architectures of IoT -IoT infrastructures -Reflective and flexible application specific middleware for the IoT -Short-range Communications for IoT -Sensor networking technologies for IoT -Access network technologies for IoT -Cross-layer optimization for supportive IoT efficient resource sharing -Energy efficiency issues and schemes -Resource Management for the IoT support systems -Middleware supportive architectures -Design and evaluation of new IoT processes and/or Algorithms. -Performance improvement of existing IoT algorithms and/or reliability techniques and configurations -Semantic resource management Algorithms and techniques -Information processing, management, and distribution in IoT -IPv6 over low-power wireless area networks (6LoWPAN) support in the IoT domain -Embedded Architectures, Techniques and Algorithms that face the scarceness and availability of wireless resources -Data-synchronisation for offline support and resource availability -Application-specific resource management (RFID implementation, MP2P resource availability) -Smart Grid and the IoT infrastructures -Theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation the IoT including modelling new techniques for performance-oriented design methods -Novel techniques in computer system simulation for the IoT -Cloud Computing and IoT convergence -IoT and the Grid and any supportive concept for a future architecture of the Internet of Things Guest Editors ---------------- Prof. Helen Karatza Department of Informatics Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 54124 Thessaloniki Greece Tel. : +30 (2310) 997974 Fax : +30 (2310) 998419 Email: karatza(a)csd.auth.gr Dr. Constandinos X.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications Datum: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:31:18 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | SESENA 2012 | 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering for | Sensor Network Applications | | Zurich, Switzerland, 2 June 2012 | | In conjunction with | ACM/IEEE Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Paper submission: 17 February 2012 | Author notification: 19 March 2012 | Camera-ready copy: 29 March 2012 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | http://www.sesena.info +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-physical and Pervasive Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individuals hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the development task and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA12 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA12 will also host two special sessions: (i) a "speakers’ corner" composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes), and (ii) a session dedicated to the VISION project, an FP7 ERC Starting Grant focusing on developing an innovative infrastructure for real-time sensing services. In the latter session, the intermediate project results will be presented with the dual goal of sharing the uniqueness of the ERC-style grants and discussing technical elements to identify possible future collaborations. Topics of interest: The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - environment and context modeling; - development methodologies; - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; - testing, debugging, and validation; - non-functional modeling and analysis; - security and trust; - formal verification and model-checking; - model-driven approaches; - middleware systems; - interfacing WSNs and business services; - integration of WSNs in IoT applications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [IEEE AOC 2012] Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:29:50 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2012) June 25, 2012 - San Francisco, California, USA http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/ jointly supported by the SCAMPI project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative http://www.ict-scampi.eu/ and RECOGNITION project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) initiative http://www.recognition-project.eu/ Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom **** Submission Deadline --- February 17, 2012 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication, and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to the networking research community. The AOC 2012 workshop aims at serving as a meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the previous five editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and computing. Yet, AOC 2012 will have a primary interest in new directions of opportunistic communications, such as service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2012 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop.

Fikret Sivrikaya <Fikret.Sivrikaya(a)dai-labor.de> schrieb: Updated submission deadline (FIRM): Jan 7, 2012. Third IEEE Workshop on User-Centric Networking (U-NET 2012) In conjunction with ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada http://uloop.eu/unet2012 Wireless technologies have been used mostly as last-hop of fixed networks. In the last years the inherent flexibility of wireless technologies is giving rise to new types of technologies that allow networking functions to be deployed by the action of the end-user, for instance as a virtual Internet service operator. However, the potential of this new set of user-centric networking technologies has not been explored in terms of new Internet horizons and potential business opportunities, or in terms of pervasive network experience and social interaction. The Workshop is dedicated to the debate of challenges and opportunities concerning user-centric networking technologies, which allow end-users to cooperate by sharing network services and resources. This set of technology may empower the end-user as a new Internet stakeholder and not just as a consumer and producer of content. User-centric networking technologies can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, encompassing: i) sharing subscribed broadband Internet access; ii) provide support for a better Internet connectivity; iii) allow the usage of communication services even in the absence of a reliable Internet access; iv) assistive networking services based on user involvement for the detection and repair of communication problems. The new role of an empowered end-user is disruptive in several aspects, namely: i) in what concerns the end-to-end Internet paradigm, since end-user devices will actively participate as part of the network; ii) in terms of regular network boundar ies of trust, which need to be extended in a way that should mimic social behavior; iii) while handling intermittent Internet connectivity as well as fast and transparent roaming between micro-operators needs to be considered. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas related to user-centric networking technologies, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols and new components that integrate into a future Internet architecture. We encourage submissions of full papers describing highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. We also encourage the submission of poster papers presenting a set of architectural agreements and disagreements about the role of user-centric networking. To be accepted, poster papers must meet the same quality criteria as traditional papers. The workshop covers all aspects related to the current and future user-centric networking technologies including, but not limited to, the following: * Impact on access networks * Impact on Internet architectures * New Internet connectivity models * Trust models, incentives to share network services and resources * Resource management in spontaneous networks * Human behavior and mobility patterns * Self-organization in dynamic wireless networks * Cooperative networking * Opportunistic networking * Community detection and social networking aspects * Security, traceability, confidentiality, non-reputation, identity management * Low-cost and energy-efficient technologies Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references), through EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11479. Important Dates: - Paper Submission: Jan 07, 2012 - Acceptance Notification: Feb 10, 2012 - Camera Ready Version: Mar 01, 2012 - Workshop Date: June 10-15, 2012 Accepted papers must be registered and presented at the workshop by one of the authors. All papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2012 proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore database. This CFP is also available at http://uloop.eu/unet2012/cfp.html. _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM-2012 Workshop on Information-Centric Networking (ICN-2012) Datum: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:51:41 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================== ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Information-Centric Networking (ICN-2012) August 13 or 17, 2012 Helsinki, Finland http://www.neclab.eu/icn-2012/ ====================================================================== Call For Papers --------------- The rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) concepts in the last few years is one of the significant results from multiple international Future Internet research activities. Based on the ICN concepts, the principal communication paradigm is no longer end-to-end data delivery between hosts as in the current Internet architecture. Instead, ICN-based network architectures focus directly on retrieving information objects securely, reliably, scalably, and efficiently. These architectural design efforts aim to directly address the network challenges that arise from the increasing demand for highly scalable content distribution, from accelerated growths of mobile devices, and from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT). The resulting network architectures are expected to leverage in-network storage, multiparty communication through replication and interaction models to provide effective and efficient data distribution in the communication services, and to provide effective solutions in securing the network infrastructure as well as user data. Important research topics for ICN include: naming and addressing (how to name information objects, how to represent location information), routing and resolution (deciding on how to forward "interest" in information and actual information objects, whether and how to resolve information object names to lower layer identifiers during that process), resource management (implications of in-network caching and paradigms such as receiver-orientation to resource sharing, congestion control etc.) and security (privacy, data protection and key distribution have to be adapted to the new communication models). This workshop invites original contributions on Information-Centric Networking architecture topics, specific algorithms and protocols, as well as on results from implementations and experimentation. ICN-2012 topics of Interest --------------------------- * Naming and addressing * Routing and name resolution * Routing and name resolution scalability * Support for mobility * Support for / avoidance of middle boxes * Models and/or compensation schemes for user contribution to network resources (bandwidth, storage for caching, battery, processing, name resolution, etc.) * Resource management (caching strategies, congestion control) * Security, privacy and trust * Testbeds and simulations frameworks * Metadata and network extensions * Real-time traffic over ICN (voice, video, etc) * PDUs, fragmentation and â€œpacket sizeâ€ implications on design * Should ICN be an overlay or an underlay * Performance evaluation * Inter-domain operations (protocols, policies, etc.) * Limitations of ICNs Submission instructions ------------------------ All submissions must be original work that has not been submitted to any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress and ongoing experiments. Papers describing practical experiments are especially invited. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be in PDF format. Reviews will be single-blind: please include authors name and affiliation in the submission.
