Tsiropoulos <gitsirop(a)hotmail.com> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> From: gitsirop(a)hotmail.com To: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Subject: Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:00:49 +0300 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope The Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT2011) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems (ICUMT 2011) to be held in Budapest, Hungary, in October 2011. The Workshop will be a full day event. Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2011 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overview Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Third IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2011) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. WMCNT 2011 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and industry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Topics Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: • QoS and Resource Allocation in Wireless/Mobile Networks • Radio Resource Management • Resource Allocation and Game Theory • Mobility Management and Billing Technologies in Wireless Networks • Mobile/Wireless Networks Modeling and Simulation • Heterogeneous Wireless Networks • Wired-Wireless Integration • End-to-End QoS • Protocols and Architecture for Wireless/ Mobile Networks • Security, Scalability, Reliability and Robustness in Wireless/Mobile Networks • Physical Security • Transport Layer Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks • Cross-layer Issues • Wireless Access Techniques • Wireless Propagation and Channel Modeling • Wireless Communication Networks and Systems • Wireless System Services and Applications • Wireless / Mobile Internet • 2G - 3G - 4G Migration, Convergence and Interworking • WiFi, WiMAX, 3GPP LTE • OFDM and OFDMA Systems • Wireless LAN/PAN/BAN • Wireless Mesh Networks • Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks • Cognitive Radio Networks • Sensor Networks Technologies and Protocols • Mobile Social Networks • 3G, 4G, and beyond System • Spectrum Sensing and Signal Parameters Estimation • Experimental Systems and Field Trials • Planning and Standardization • Systems Interoperability • Reliable Broadcast/Multicast Wireless Technologies for Multimedia Applications • Performance Evaluation of New Wireless Standards for High-Quality Entertainment Environments ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proceedings Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and wireless communications.

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:36:32 +0300 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> Antwort an: konstant(a)unipi.gr An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: § Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks § Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks § Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors § Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks § Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage § Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime § Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks § Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks § Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks § Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Ten tative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Università di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking Datum: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:11:04 +0200 Von: <prosper.chemouil(a)orange-ftgroup.com> An: <itc(a)COMSOC.ORG> Call for Papers ***IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on* ***Information-Centric Networking* *//**/Background and motivation/* Information-Centric Networking (ICN) marks a fundamental shift in communications and networking. ICN focuses on finding and transmitting information to end users instead of connecting end hosts that exchange information. The key concepts are expected to have a huge impact on the familiar textbook protocol stack, in network architecture in general, and will create new opportunities for all associated stakeholders including equipment vendors, network operators, service and content providers, and above all end-users. *//**/Scope and Objectives /* Information-centric networking is to succeed only if it can to provide clearly superior solutions to well-known problems in the current generation of all-IP networks and can be introduced to general usage incrementally. We invite authors to consider the following aspects with respect to information-centric networks: · Naming & addressing: there is currently a strong association between content naming and addressing. Information-centric networking aims to introduce new ways foridentifying content in a location-independent manner. What breakthroughs in naming and addressing will make ICN scalable when faced with a global network of billions of devices and zettabytes of available content? · Protocol stack: the original TCP/IP protocol stack was neat and simple. Today’s stack is arguably neither having been extended through patchwork over several decades. Can ICN simplify things? · Network architecture: ICN is expected to have a profound effect on network architecture as storage capacity becomes an integral element of all network nodes. What does an ICN network architecture look like? · Management: resource/mobility/multihoming management are add-ons to the current architecture. With ICN we have the opportunity to include support for all these aspects right from the start. What are the essential characteristics of a complete management framework that is scalable, flexible, and suitable for ICN? · Caching: Information-centric networking is an in-network process that relies on content storage in the network so as to efficiently access popular content, alleviate flash-crowd effects, improve the end-user quality of experience, and increase network efficiency. This raises new issues to be addressed such as buffer management and caching policy. · Energy efficiency: battery-powered devices abound and will dominate in the future as the primary means for connecting to the Internet. At the same time, there is a strong drive for energy-efficient networking from core networks to access networks,and from data centers to home media centers. ICN has more leverage to make tradeoffs between storage/computation/communication—will ICN pave the way to a holistic energy efficient operation? · Internet of Things (IoT): as the physical world is more and more connected to the digital world through a multitude of sensors and actuators, the current host-centric approach followed in IP networks, typically requiring synchronous, always on, end-to-end connections stretches beyond its capacity to deliver, introducing further inefficiencies. How does ICN scale in the scenarios envisioned for the IoT and how does it compare with current IP-based IoT solutions? · Security and trust is established today through the use of third parties in an end-to-end manner. Synchronous three-way, end-to-end connectivity is a prerequisite, and it does not guarantee provenance. Can ICN foster the development of a more secure and trusted global communications infrastructure? · Business models in the Internet are established between providers according to peering agreements. The new ICN paradigm based on in-network caching may impact the current relationships between players. Which business models could foster a fair relationship between content producers, content providers and service/network providers? Submitted articles do not need to cover all these aspects but should strive to clearly contrast the ICN approach with the current TCP/IP-based state of affairs. Prospective authors should describe the key concepts, design, implementation, and evaluation of ICN proposals. Articles that demonstrate the feasibility of groundbreaking approaches through testbed/experimental results are particularly welcome. Topics of particular interest include: · Naming and name resolution in ICN · Information/service discovery in ICN · Flow and congestion control in ICN · Routing and forwarding in ICN · Caching an buffer management in ICN · Security, self-certification, privacy and trust in information-centric networks · QoS/QoE in ICN · ICN over heterogeneous networks · Network programming and APIs for ICN · Scalability and Performance · Empirical evaluations of ICN protocol stacks · Use cases · Business models *//**/Submission/* We invite authors to submit articles reporting original, previously unpublished research work on information-centric networking. Articles must be tutorial in nature, accessible to a wide audience in the communications technology community. Articles shouldbe limited to approximately 4500 words, and include no more than a combined total of 6 tables and figures. References should also be limited to no more than 15. Authors can find the complete article guidelines at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Authors need to adhere to the IEEE Communications Magazine limits on mathematical content and strive for a tutorial exposition of the problems and their solutions.

Nov.28-Dec.1, 2011 http://www.acmmm11.org The Open-Source Software Competition is an integral part of the ACM Multimedia program. The ACM Multimedia 2011 Open-Source Software Competition is the eighth running competition. It is mainly intended to celebrate and encourage the contribution of researchers, software developers and educators to advance the field by providing the community with implementations of codecs, middleware, frameworks, toolkits, libraries, multimedia players, applications, authoring tools, and other multimedia software. This year, we encourage submission of instructional open source software designed for educational use in teaching multimedia-related courses at undergraduate or graduate level. Such software should be designed with educational suitability in mind (e.g., can be used as a basis for programming assignments, laboratory exercises, and class projects). To qualify for the ACM Multimedia Open-Source Software Competition software must be provided with source code and licensed in such a manner that it can be used free of charge in academic and research settings. For the competition, the software will be built from the sources. All source code, license, installation instructions and other documentation must be available on a public web page. Dependencies on non-open source third-party software are discouraged with the exception of operating systems and commonly found commercial packages available free of charge. Authors are encouraged to prepare as much documentation as possible, including examples of how the provided software might be used, screencast showing the software in action, download statistics, or other public usage information, etc. Entries will be peer-reviewed. Selected authors will be invited to demonstrate their software as part of the conference program and their overview papers will be included in the ACM Multimedia 2011 Conference proceedings. An overall winning entry will be formally recognized at ACM Multimedia 2011. The criteria for judging all submissions include broad applicability and potential impact, novelty, technical depth, demo suitability, and other miscellaneous factors (e.g., maturity, popularity, student-led, no dependence on closed source, etc.). To encourage more diverse participation, previous years’ non-winning entries are welcome to re-submit for the 2011 competition. Student-led efforts are particularly encouraged. The particular application area targeted by the open source software will not be a criterion for the winning entry. Additional information including guidelines are available on the web.
