-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [RealWiN 2012] Call for paper Datum: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:07:29 +1300 Von: haibo zhang <zhangotago(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012 Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012 #### Scope: ########## During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general. Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial applications impose new challenges to wireless network design such as stringent requirements on reliability, real-time performance, latency of the communication, security, and networked control, even more stringent than time-critical best-effort applications like voice over IP. Despite the already high requirements, the desire is growing to use wireless communication in even more demanding industrial applications such as factory automation and motion control. This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on ’soft’ real time requirements as well as on ’hard’ real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc. In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction): - Physical layer design - Medium access control and interference management - Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis - Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking - Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation - Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation - Application scenarios and requirements - Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks - Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking - Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues - Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks - Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems - Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments #### Dates: ########## Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012 Notification: February 13th, 2012 Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012 #### Submissions and Review Process: ########## We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described above. Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column, single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012 Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email. #### Program Committee: ################## - Björn Andersson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA - Michael Bahr, Siemens CT, Germany - Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurth, Austria - James Gross, RWTH Aachen Universit, Germany - Michael Kaever, Siemens Industry Motion Control Systems, Germany - Kimmo Kansanen, NTNU Trondheim, Norway - Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany - Rolf Kraemer, Technical University of Cottbus, Germany - Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa, Italy - Thiemo Voigt, SICS, Sweden - Thomas Watteyne, DustNetworks, USA - Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand - Haibo Zhang, University of Otago, New Zealand - Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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.
