Venkatesha Prasad" <rvprasad(a)ieee.org> schrieb: (Apologies if you receive multiple copies) IEEE ICC-2012 3rd Workshop On Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency E2Nets June 10-15, 2012 Ottowa/Canada *** Selected top quality papers will be fast tracked in European Transaction on Telecommunication. *** www.e2nets.tudelft.nl Paper Submission Link: http://edas.info/N11457 * Paper Submission Deadline: December 20, 2011 * Notification of Acceptance: January 31, 2012 * Camera-Ready Submissions: February 10, 2012 The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. E2 network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. In E2Nets, the following topics of energy efficiency in sensor, mesh, and ad-hoc networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel or network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies and architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding and multicast * Energy-efficient device and service discovery * Collaborative, cooperative, cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * Cognitive networking for energy reduction in large scale environments * Device level collaboration and cognition for energy efficiency * User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns * Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals * Energy efficiency in sensor networks, ad hoc networks, mesh networks and vehicular networks. To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial, home, office environments, applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * ICT for energy-efficient data centers Author Guidelines Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Paper submission is via EDAS. IEEE publication policy and author guidelines can be found ICC Submission Guidelines pages. Paper length should be 5 pages (A4, pdf) max, with 2 pages at an over-length charge. Chairs * General Chairperson: Ignas Niemegeers, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands * TPC Chairs:R.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: June 2012 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series
by Lars Wolf 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: June 2012 IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:43:42 +0000 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Submission Deadline: Jan 15, 2012 Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities. Indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM MobiCom 2012: Deadline March 9, 2012 Datum: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 21:23:13 +0000 Von: Xie, Linda <Linda.Xie(a)uncc.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] Call for Papers for MobiCom 2012 The Eighteenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Late August/Early September 2012, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2012/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE ACM MobiCom 2012, the Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the eighteenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The conference will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, in late August 2012. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom 2012 will also include a set of workshops, panels, research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2012 (available soon). PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of mobile computing and wireless networking that pertain to the layer two or above of the OSI protocol stack. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following. * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * System design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Real-world measurements and characterization * Performance-oriented design and evaluation focused on networks and mobile applications * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks * Testbed design and implementation * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, software radios, visible light communications and underwater networking * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Emerging topics, e.g., robotic swarms, 60 GHz networking, social networking and novel applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Foundational underpinnings of wireless networks MobiCom’12 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected outstanding papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These challenges papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Papers must (i) be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), (ii) be in font size no smaller than 10 points, (iii) have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25” X 3.33”, a space of 0.33” between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and (iv) fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5” X 11”). More detailed instructions will be available in the conference web pages. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. See the MobiCom 2012 website for detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org. BEST PAPER AWARD: All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission due: March 2, 2012 (8:00PM EST) Paper submission due: March 9, 2012 (8:00PM EST) Notification of acceptance: June 6, 2012 Camera-ready version due: July 2, 2012 General Chair Ozgur B.

From traditional wireless networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban environments and deep-space communications, the new approaches require an efficient merging with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all-weather protocols, clean-slate or evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of different network technologies, unified operation and management of the heterogeneous components and the support for new multimedia services are only few examples of the wide range of technologies building-up this new global network. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols, the dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics and cross-layer interactions. This year, we particularly emphasize on areas such as Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and Opportunistic Networks. The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field of global internetworking, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. WWIC is a single-track conference which has reached, within 9 years, a high quality level, which is reflected both on the level of participation as well as on the acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers. Following the conference tradition there will also be a best paper award. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) Series.

Fwd: [Tccc] ICC'12 Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communication - Deadline extended to Dec 20th
by Lars Wolf 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Alireza Seyedi <alireza.seyedi-esfahani(a)rochester.edu> schrieb: First IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012, Ottawa, Canada, June 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS The first IEEE International Workshop on Energy Harvesting for Communications (IWEHC) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE ICC 2012 in Ottawa, Canada. All papers will be peer reviewed by TPC members and other experts in the field. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and on the IEEE Xplore website. Scope: Energy Harvesting Communications (EHC) offers the tantalizing possibility of perpetual operation, as the communication nodes only use energy harvested from their environment for processing and communication. However, the energy harvesting process may be sporadic, due to which nodes may temporarily run out of energy. Algorithms and protocols need to be designed that are robust to the sporadic and possibly limited energy resources available for sensing and communication. This workshop aims to bring together academic experts and industrial researchers interested in the design and development of EHC. It will create a forum where the researchers working on this topic can share their results and collectively identify design principles for optimizing the performance of EHC. Topics include (but are not limited to): * Physical layer protocols, link-layer algorithm design and analysis * Modeling energy harvesting processes and their role in optimizing the communication performance * Energy harvesting sensor design for body area networks * Fundamental information theoretic limits of EHC * Sensing accuracy – throughput (rate-distortion) trade-off analysis * Harvesting-Aware MAC and routing protocols * Cooperative communications and relaying using EHC * Quality of Service in EHC systems * Lifetime enhancement of conventional networks using EHC * Implementations, Testbeds and Experimental results * Novel applications of EHC Organizers: Alireza Seyedi - University of Rochester alireza(a)ece.rochester.edu Chandra Murthy - Indian Institute of Science cmurthy(a)ece.iisc.ernet.in Workshop web page: http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~alireza/IWEHC.htm Workshop submission page: http://edas.info/N11443 Important Dates: Paper submission: December 20th 2011(extended) Acceptance notification: February 15th 2012 Camera ready paper: TBD Workshop: TBD (June 11th or 15th 2012) _____________________________________________ Alireza Seyedi Assistant Professor (Research) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Rochester Phone: 585-275-2125 Web: http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~alireza/ _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
