-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:26:00 -0400 Von: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> CC: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPER Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2011 Camera ready: June 1st, 2011 Publication of special issue: Fall, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals. Submissions of both in-depth research papers and review/application-oriented papers are encouraged. Manuscripts for the special issue should be emailed to the guest editors ( emails shown below) in PDF format with the email subject "QoS Management Special Issue - Paper Submission".

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [WONS 2011] Call for Papers - One month to deadline - The Eighth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Datum: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:52:19 +0200 Von: Christoph Sommer <christoph.sommer(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ** One month to deadline - Sep 6, 2010 ** CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2011 The Eighth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Technically sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IFIP, TCCC, and Euro-NF January 26-28, 2011 Bardonecchia, Italy http://conferenze.dei.polimi.it/wons2011/ Scope of the conference ----------------------- As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its eighth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Future wireless Internet solutions * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Journal of Communications - SI (updated) Datum: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 11:15:13 +0900 Von: Lei Shu <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: <discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org>, <cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: WTC.Mail(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.) Submission Link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcmsiradssa2010 CALL FOR PAPERS [in PDF] Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Recent Advance on Distributed Sensor Systems & Applications http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_radssa.html Applications are always the original driving force for researches, particularly in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) area, which is highly utility-oriented. WSNs have emerged as a new information paradigm for distributed real-time and embedded systems, where the energy consumption and the data process and storage capacity of the sensor nodes must be taken into account. Example applications include environment monitoring, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection, medical care, intelligent transportation, and smart manufacturing. However, finding killer applications for WSNs is still a hard task that is heavily pursued. This special issue aims at presenting innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems, applications, and novel techniques, especially in a distributed environment. We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: l Sensor networks applications, architectures, protocols, Tools, systems, and algorithms l Real testbed measurement and performance analysis l Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks l Distributed networked sensing, actuation and control l Energy harvesting technologies on power and energy management l Wide-area sensing services and support for social networking l Localization and time synchronization and QoS provisioning protocols l Security and privacy in sensor networks l Multimedia transmission (high resolution video etc) l Inter-connection between distributed sensor systems l Systems for context sensing and context awareness l User interfaces/ User friendliness and usability issues for backend monitoring l Collaborative in-network processing and data sharing l Sensor devices and sensor circuits for distributed systems Submission Guideline: Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html.

Submission Deadline: Aug. 15th, 2010.Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems Journal http://www.springer.com/journal/11235 (Springer) (SCI indexed) Special Issue on “Recent Advance in Mobile Sensor Networks” Scope The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes (controllable sensors and uncontrollable sensors) are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Unlike existing wireless sensor networks which are composed of static sensors and sink nodes, wireless mobile sensor networks allows diverse entities to move within the network field all the time, e.g., mobile base station, mobile sensor nodes, mobile relay nodes, mobile cluster heads. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research challenging issues in both communication and data management aspects, e.g., challenges for localization in mobile sensor networks, challenges for providing coverage services by mobile sensor networks, and challenges for data collection in mobile sensor networks. On the other hand, these challenges in mobile sensor networks also provides lots of opportunities that researchers can leverage the mobility feature to exploring improvement for traditional solutions and methods in various aspects, e.g., node localization, network coverage, and data collection/streaming/management. This special issue is seeking papers working on these challenges of the mobile ad hoc and sensor networks from the academia researchers and the industry practitioners, as well as papers that addressing various hot topics of the mobile sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Data Aggregation and Data Dissemination in Mobile Sensor networks • Query Processing and Data Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Autonomic Computing with Mobile Sensor networks • Topology Control and Coverage Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Applications and Evolutions of Mobile Sensor networks • Physical Layer Design of Mobile Sensor networks • MAC Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control & Routing for Mobile Sensor networks • Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Mobile Sensor networks • Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile Sensor networks • Integrated Simulation and Test bed for Mobile Sensor networks • Measurement based Evaluation for Mobile Sensor networks • Distributed Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Pricing Modeling and Solutions with Mobile Sensor networks • Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile Sensor networks • Service Discovery for Mobile Sensor networks • Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Mobile Sensor networks • Mobile Service and QoS Management for Mobile Sensor networks • Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Mobile Sensor networks • Security, Trust and Privacy Issues in Mobile Sensor networks Submission: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM BuildSys deadline: 30 July 2010 Datum: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:17:37 +0200 Von: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> An: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> Call for papers: ACM BuildSys 2010, in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2010 http://buildsys.org/2010 2nd ACM Workshop On Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings and Surroundings Zurich, Switzerland - November 2, 2010. Important dates: * Submission deadline: 30 July 2010 * Notification of acceptance: 7 September 2010 * Camera Ready Due: 25 September 2010 * Workshop date: 2 November 2010 Technically co-sponsored by ACM. Submissions will be peer-reviewed. The Proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The World is increasingly experiencing a strong need for energy consumption reduction and a need for efficient use of scarce natural resources. Official studies report that buildings account for the largest portion of World's energy expenditure and have the fastest growth rate. Clearly, energy saving strategies that target energy use in buildings and surroundings can have a major impact worldwide, driving the current energy market toward self-sufficiency and self-sustainability. This calls for effective techniques and methods that enable accurate carbon foot printing, monitoring and control of appliance activity, energy auditing and management in buildings and surroundings and the generation of energy awareness. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) plays a key role in enabling energy-saving systems in buildings and surrounding spaces by providing a reliable, cost-effective and extensible solution that can be placed in existing as well as new structures and be controlled via the Internet. In fact, WSNs allow the monitoring of the energy consumption in near-real time and, as such, they are an essential tool in the control loop that will be used in future structures for the generation and usage of diverse types of energy. Following the success of the past edition of the workshop, BuildSys 2010 focuses on the intersection between WSNs and energy in buildings by merging experts in the WSN domain and experts in the Building/Energy community in order to identify innovative solutions which achieve the broad goal of energy-reduction. The workshop welcomes sensor network-based techniques and applications that can clearly demonstrate how to: * Increase energy awareness and reduce consumption by leveraging on sensing systems/social networking/mobile phones, novel visualization and other forms of media to convey relevant information to users; * Systems that can influence a change of building occupant behaviour towards a more parsimonious usage of electricity, gas, heating, water, etc.; * Monitor and actuate appliances in residential and industrial settings (e.g. data centres, HVAC, etc.) * Monitor and control of alternative energy sources aiming at an increase of production efficacy; * Model and simulate heating cooling lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in buildings and surrounding spaces through the combination of real data from sensors and popular energy simulation tools such as Energy Plus and TrnSys; * Create innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production (from, e.g., solar panels, wind turbines); * Integrate sensor-based systems to improve grid operation and energy distribution (electricity, gas, water); Particular emphasis will also be given to: * Real evaluation of energy-saving techniques and case studies that demonstrate a decrease of energy expenditure in real scenarios; * Design of innovative architectures that are capable of reducing energy consumption and improve energy use efficiency; * Accurate case studies and issues experienced current energy systems and how sensor networks can improve the state of the art in building energy management; * Sensor systems for the identification of appliances in industrial and home environments, which can be used to estimate the energy usage/production model and to predict future demands; * Innovative Sensor Network-assisted building monitoring systems (BMS); * Integration of WSNs and wired sensor systems (e.g., Powerline, exing BMS) for the energy management in buildings.
