This full day workshop aims to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial perspectives and thinking to highlight and discuss recent progress in femtocell technologies. The list of promising new developments includes cooperative networks of femtocells and extending the classical concept of indoor femtocells to the outdoors, e.g. as fixed relays in macrocells for enhancing coverage and cell-edge capacity or as mobile femtocells in public transports. Self-organizing techniques for high capacity and optimum use of transmit power whilst minimizing OPEX and simplifying complexity for remote network management are vitally important to cope with expected multiple million femtocells networks. Scope and Objectives -------------------- In view of current standardization activities in 3GPP and IEEE, changing regulatory landscape and impetus from industrial bodies such as Femto Forum, this workshop focuses on presenting and debating advanced femtocell technologies that have the potential to be considered in future standards such as LTE-A to make the radio access solutions highly efficient with major leapfrog in spectral-efficiency per unit area, while minimizing the transmit power. Specifically, but not exclusively, the workshop proposes to address the following issues: * Optimization of Radio Access * New generation of baseband and radio frequency techniques * Smart interference management * Self-configuration and self-optimization techniques * Network management and architecture * Field Trials / Test-beds / Regulatory issues Submission Guidelines --------------------- Papers need to be uploaded to the VTC Trackchair (http://vtc11s-workshops.trackchair.com), should be in English, not exceeding 5 double-column pages, and should follow IEEE paper templates. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplorer. They will be presented either orally or by means of a poster.

Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms - Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Energy-efficient MAC protocols - Energy-efficient routing protocols - Voltage and frequency scaled networks - Energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above - Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency - Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 450 words. The full manuscript should be at most 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format. Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Von: "Yang, Kun" <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Deadline extended to 30 Nov. 2010 due to many requests. Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process.
