Underwater operations and applications are quite limited by comparison. Most applications refer to remotely controlled submersibles and wide-area data collection systems at a coarse granularity. Underwater sensor networks have many potential applications such a seismic imaging of undersea oil fields as a representative application. Oceanographic research is also based on the advances in underwater data collection systems. > > There are specific technical aspects to realize underwater applications which can not be borrowed from the ground-based sensors net research. Radio is not suitable for underwater systems because of extremely limited propagation. Acoustic telemetry could be used in underwater communication; however off-the-shelf acoustic modems are not recommended for underwater sensor networks with hundreds of nodes because they were designed for long-range and expensive. As the speed of light (radio) is five orders of magnitude higher than the speed of sound, there are fundamental implications of time synchronization and propagation delays for localization. Additionally, existing communication protocols are not designed to deal with long sleep times and they can not shut down and quickly restart. > > The International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems, MarSS, brings together practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects pertaining to the new mechanisms for underwater sensor networks and applications. > > > Topics of interest: > Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: > > • Protocols for underwater sensor networks > • Hardware for marine sensors and systems > • Marine observatories and Infrastructures > • Underwater wired systems > • Underwater wireless sensor networks > • Sensors and system for marine neutrino telescopes > • Acoustic and radio underwater communication > • Aquatic environments and applications > • Unmanned underwater exploration > • Underwater localization and knowledge acquisition > • Scalable underwater monitoring and measurement systems > • Fixed and mobile underwater wireless sensors > • Aquatic surveillance applications > • QoS/Performance in underwater communication > • Surface-floating and underwater sensor communication > • Access control in underwater networks > • Latency effects for critical applications and synchronization > • Synchronization and delays in underwater sensor networks > • Localization in underwater sensor networks > • Advanced underwater sensor-based applications > • Sensor and systems for navigation and tracking > > Important Dates > Paper Submission: 26 June 2011 > Paper Acceptance: 22 July 2011 > Camera-Ready: 12 August 2011 > > Submission guidelines: > All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS > http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10975 > > They must not exceed 6 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10 pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages in IEEE style format. > > > General Chairs > Miguel Ardid, Univ.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 13:04:38 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication, networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient. Scope Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia communication Manuscript Submission IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/. Please submit manuscripts via the ManuscriptCentral website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/comst-ieee (the entry name: Special Issue: Energy Efficient Multimedia Communication) Important Dates Manuscript due: September 30, 2011 Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2012 Publication date: Q2, 2012 Guest Editors J.J.

Aims and Scope: Unmanned systems are increasingly used in a large number of contexts to support humans in dangerous and difficult-to-reach environments, e.g. ground-based robotics, aerial sensor systems, space and underwater applications. In order to fulfill challenging tasks, visionary scenarios foresee unmanned vehicles to be organized in networked teams and even swarms. The corresponding wireless networks must provide highly reliable and delay-tolerant control links for the management of the behavior of the unmanned vehicles' behavior as well as data links to reliably transfer telemetry and sensor data respectively. At the same time, unmanned vehicles offer the capability to provide ad-hoc wireless networks, for example to compensate network outages in case of public events and large scale incidents. The successful first workshop at GLOBECOM 2010 focused mainly on unmanned aerial vehicles ( <http://www.wi-uav.org> www.wi-uav.org). This year's workshop addresses any kind of unmanned autonomous systems. The workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research initiatives on new communications networks enabling the efficient operation of teams of unmanned vehicles/systems operating on the ground, in the air, underwater and in space scenarios.

Fwd: [Tccc] Elsevier: JNCA Call For Paper Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Elsevier: JNCA Call For Paper Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Datum: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:50:05 +0900 Von: CFP <2010cfp(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ---Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message--- Elsevier Journal of Network and Computer Applications (Impact Factor: 1.111) Call for Papers Special Issue on Vehicular Communications and Applications Scope The increasing importance of vehicle and infrastructure communications is recognized by governments, highway authorities, automobile manufacturers and the academic community. Governments have allocated spectrum for vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications (e.g., DSRC or 4G cellular). Government and industry have funded large partnerships or projects such as IVI (e.g., CAMP, ACAS), ADASE2, as well as new initiatives such as IVBSS, CICAS, and VII, among others. Academic conferences and workshops on automotive networking and ITS are beginning to grow in popularity (e.g., VANET, V2VCOM, and VDTN). Standards community has been active to ensure interoperability with participation of IEEE, ISO, TIA, ASTM and major automobile manufacturers and other industrial cooperation. There are unique research challenges that need to be addressed in order for vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications to be widely deployed. The combination of unique features of automotive applications and unique features of the automotive networking leads to many interesting research areas. The wireless networking between vehicles and with infrastructure has different characteristics from other conventional wireless networking problems. For example, due to rapidly-changing topology as vehicles move around, there are resemblances to ad hoc networking scenarios. However, the constraints and optimizations are very different. Power efficiency is not as important for vehicle communications as it is for traditional ad hoc networking. Vehicles in general are also constrained to move within roads (and within lanes most of the time). Automotive applications also demand stringent communications performance requirements that are not seen in conventional wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to showcase the variety of research being conducted in automotive networking, ITS and applications to survey and collect the state-of-the-art in this emerging field. Topics of interest include: • Intelligent / interactive transport system applications • Network architectures, system architectures for ITS • Link / MAC and physical layer issues, algorithms and protocols • Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. • Higher layers (application, transport) algorithms and protocols • Cross-layer protocol design • Inter-working of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications • Multimedia-based ad-hoc networking & WLAN aspects • Mobility management • Vehicle movement and performance simulation • Security for automotive networking • Network management for automotive networking • Vehicle to Grid Communication • Intra-vehicle networks supporting x-by-wire applications Important Dates: Paper Submission Due: July 15, 2011 Author Notification: Sep 30, 2011 Final Paper Submission Oct 31, 2011 Publication date: 2nd Quarter 2012 Guest Editors Prof. Joel Rodrigues (Corresponding Editor) Instituto de Telecomunicações, University of Beira Interior, Portugal Email: joeljr(a)ieee.org Dr. Russel Hsing Tecordia , USA Email: thsing(a)telcordia.com Dr. Min Chen Seoul National University, Korea Email: minchen(a)ieee.org Prof. Bingli Jiao Peking University, Beijing, China Email: JIAOBL(a)pku.edu.cn Dr. Binod Vaidya University of Ottawa, Canada Email: bvaidya(a)uottawa.ca Instructions for submission: All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Wireless Green Communications and Networking

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Wireless Green Communications and Networking Datum: Tue, 31 May 2011 18:06:53 +0200 Von: Enzo Mingozzi <e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it> Antwort an: e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Organisation: University of Pisa An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Computer Communications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Call for Papers Special Issue on Wireless Green Communications and Networking Scope Global energy consumption is currently one of the major concerns faced by governments worldwide, because of its significant environmental footprint and the eventual exhaustion, in a not-so-far future, of the major traditional energy sources. A major role in the "greening" effort to globally reduce energy consumption will be played by wireless networking technologies. On the one hand, wireless communication infrastructures, like the ones managed by mobile network operators, are a major contributor to the ever-increasing energy consumption of the ICT industry, which calls for the adoption of energy-efficient solutions in their design and operation. Moreover, the recent explosive growth of smartphones market adoption and the consequent mobile internet traffic requirements, predicted to raise by a factor 39x until 2014, have prompted waves of research and standard development activities to meet the expected future demands in an energy-efficient manner. On the other hand, wireless networks will also be a major component of the communication infrastructure required by other "green" solutions for the efficient management of energy, since they enable practices like telecommuting (for, e.g., traffic reduction) and remote administration (for, e.g., the Smart Energy Grid), which are expected to significantly help reduce the environmental footprint of many human activities. The aim of this special issue is to seek new and unpublished contributions addressing wireless communications and networking as a major component in the design of green solutions in both ICT and non-ICT domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Energy-efficiency in mobile and wireless access networks - Energy-efficiency in vehicular networks - Energy-efficiency in wireless sensor networks - Energy-efficient wireless network management - Cross-layer optimization of green wireless networks - Performance evaluation and modeling of green wireless networks - Standardization related to wireless green communications and networking - Green wireless network planning and optimization - Wireless networking for the Smart Grid - Wireless networking for the Green Home - Wireless networking for energy-efficient buildings - Wireless networking for energy-efficient industrial automation - Wireless networking for green intelligent transportation systems - Wireless networking for green Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication Important dates Submission date: June 30, 2011 Author notification: October 15, 2011 Expected publication: 1st quarter 2012 Guest Editors Enzo Mingozzi University of Pisa, Italy e.mingozzi(a)iet.unipi.it Xavier Perez-Costa NEC Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Xavier.Perez-Costa(a)neclab.eu Catherine Rosenberg University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada cath(a)ece.uwaterloo.ca Shugong Xu Huawei Technologies, Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China shugong(a)huawei.com Submission instructions The submitted papers must describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.
