Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series 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 havent 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.

MoCS 2011: Call For Papers
by Mario Fanelli 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Workshop on Management of Cloud Systems (MoCS 2011) (http://mocs.deis.unibo.it) June 28th, 2011 Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece organized in association with the Fifteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2011) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2011) Sponsored by (pending approval) IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) The vision of Cloud computing is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in several significant computer and communications research areas, spanning from grid/virtualization/utility computing to Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Computing (SOC). After the initial hype, at the current stage, several ongoing research efforts are focusing on the several open management aspects of the Cloud, such as interoperability, scalability, reliability, power management, and confidentiality/auditability, with the final goal to make Cloud technologies and services more mature so to boost and to facilitate a more widespread industrial uptake of Cloud systems. Despite the several recent efforts on Cloud systems, it is still unclear whether current solutions are able to withstand the abrupt and unpredictably changes imposed by the emergent Cloud application scenarios, where services and the whole software stacks (from the kernel upward) have to scale up and down fast by exploiting highly distributed and heterogeneous virtualized resources. The ambition and mission of MoCS 2011 is to put on the foreground all above issues, and to bring together different ongoing research efforts on the management of Cloud systems. This year, special focus will be on the challenging management issues related to the delivery of efficient Green computing solutions over the Cloud. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Novel adaptive management solutions for scalable, maintainable, cost-effective Cloud provision, at all software stack layers; * New models and paradigms for the management of Cloud services at the host level and within/between data centres (intra-/inter-domain); * Analytical and simulation models and tools to measure systems ability to scale and to achieve relevant energy savings; * New methods and tools able to identify and enforce optimal trade- offs between performance, energy consumption, safety, and security; * Emerging standards for interoperability (resource virtualization, specific computing interfaces, etc.), also between public and private Clouds; * Experimentation testbeds, field trials and empirical evaluations, and measurement studies. Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 28 February 2011 Notification of paper acceptance: 28 March 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2011 Workshop date: 28 June 2011 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by February 28 2011 using EDAS (http://edas.info/N9903). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2011 Proceedings and will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Journal of Security and Communication Networks Special Issue on Protecting the Internet of Things Datum: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:24:08 +0100 Von: Rodrigo Roman <roman(a)lcc.uma.es> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers: Protecting the Internet of Things in Journal of Security and Communication Networks (Wiley) http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security Submission Due Dates: Manuscript due: 10th March 2011 First Review Results: Late May/June 2011 Final Acceptance Notification: August/September 2011 Camera Ready Manuscript due: Late August/September 2011 Publication: November/December 2011 (Tentative) The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), supported by industrial companies and governments all over the world, marks an evolution that will surely have a great impact on our environments and our lives. The central element of this vision is the existence of a network of interconnected objects (from books to cars, from electrical appliances to food) that will be able not only to obtain information from their surroundings and interact with the physical world, but also to use existing Internet standards to provide services. However, security is extremely important for achieving this goal. As this worldwide network of interconnected objects can be exploited anywhere by anyone and anytime, it is necessary to enhance it with strong security foundations able to give birth to a world-changing paradigm. In fact, in order to adequately protect the IoT, there are plenty of factors that must be taken into account. For example, the protection of the different building blocks, the creation of interoperable security mechanisms, the development of new services that allow multiple entities (e.g., human beings, machines, objects) to cooperate with each other, and the management of all the information produced by those interactions. This special issue is proposed to cover research results and innovation case studies on security for the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * New security problems in the context of the IoT. * Privacy risks and data management problems. * Identifying, authenticating, and authorizing entities. * Development of trust frameworks for secure collaboration. * New cryptographic primitives for constrained "things". * Connecting heterogeneous ecosystems and technologies. * Legal Challenges and Governance Issues. * Resilience to external and internal attacks. * Context-Aware security. * Providing protection to an IP-connected IoT. * Web services security and other application-layer issues. * Distributed policy enforcement and rights management. * Usability of Security and Privacy Technologies in the context of the IoT. Submitted papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished works. Original research papers are solicited in all areas on security for the Internet of Things. All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three experts working in the areas. The guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security). Prospective authors should submit their papers online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as 'Special Issue', and enter 'Running Head' and 'Special Issue title' as 'SCN-SI-029' and 'Internet of things', respectively.

The IBM award is given to the best student paper presented at the PURBA 2011 workshop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information. Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks, and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale, and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how the city functions - socially, economically and yes, even psychologically. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and explore the research challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers. The PURBA 2011 Workshop fosters discussions covering topics such as (but not limited to): - Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design - Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation, energy - Urban mobility and geo-localization - Multi-source urban information integration - Real-time urban information processing - City-related knowledge infrastructure and computational models - Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining - Analysis of social networks in urban space - Middleware for mobile urban computing - Context-aware systems for urban space - Smart cities - Intelligent transportation system - Urban application demos and visualizations - Wireless sensor networks, mobile devices, and social network sensing - Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing - Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social, economical, and psychological. Important Dates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: February 4, 2011 Paper acceptance notifications: March 11, 2011 Submissions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- All contributions must be submitted as PDF files. The workshop accepts manuscripts in LNCS format (up to 8 pages). Visionary and position papers are encouraged. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation by the Program Committee. All accepted submissions must be presented during the workshop. Selected extended papers will be considered for possible fast track publication in the PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING (PMC) journal published by Elsevier. Note, that extended papers must provide significant additional material compared to the workshop submission. Award ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The IBM award is given to the best student paper presented at the PURBA 2011 workshop, to acknowledge and encourage excellence in research by students. Eligibility for the award is restricted to papers whose primary author and presenter is a registered student at the time of paper submission.

The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions for their application-oriented subclasses. One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: a) Design issues for SAHNS: o Novel network and system architectures o Economically-based models and solutions (incl. incentive-based techniques) o Operating systems and middleware o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer and Layer 2.5 protocols) o Resource management solutions (incl. discovery and integration of resources) o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management o Privacy, security, and trust o Reliability and dependability o Novel hardware platforms b) Development issues for SAHNS: o Development methodologies, models and tools o Analytical and validation models o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools) c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS: o Topology control and management o Energy control and management o Resource and service discovery and control o QoS provisioning and management o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query processing o Assuring survivability and reliability o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management d) Application issues for SAHNS: o Best current and future applications for SAHNS o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications 2.
