-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:50:57 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. ***** Extended Deadline: 15 June 2010 ***** 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 haven’t 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 and spectrum policy 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://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html and a brief summary is available at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/edbd-web/reviewformintro.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Globecom - SaCoNAS Datum: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 08:57:37 +0000 (GMT) Von: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)ymail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP***** ============================================ Call for papers IEEE International Workshop Towards Smart Communications and Network technologies applied on Autonomous Systems (SaCoNAS) Miami, Florida, USA December 2010 http://sites.google.com/site/saconasglobecom2010/home ============================================ SCOPE ----- The scope of this workshop targets the recent overlap of the latest advances between both autonomous systems, including robots, and new network technologies. On one hand, autonomous applications embedded in automatic environments have rapidly expanded from classical industrial ones to applications where different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely and on the other hand communication technologies have also known a great growing development related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of the potential scenarios of convergence between robotic systems and network technologies. These applications, which are based on high-level commands and in order to accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support, control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital challenges that limit substantially any successful robotic application, network paradigms should also take into account issues related to cost, scalability and security.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] International Workshop on Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks (PlanNet 2011) Datum: Fri, 28 May 2010 09:18:56 +0100 Von: Jie Zhang <Jie.Zhang(a)beds.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Jie Zhang <Jie.Zhang(a)beds.ac.uk> =============================================================================================== International Workshop on Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks (PlanNet 2011), June 9, 2011 In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2011, Kyoto, Japan ================================================================================================ ------------------ Call for Papers ------------------ The goal of future wireless networks is to provide ubiquitous connections and support high data rate demand. The WiMAX, LTE, and LTE-Advanced standardizations have already moved toward this direction but still require significant improvements. Network planning and optimization faces many challenges arising from the use of new air interfaces and new technologies (e.g., MIMO, smart antennas, cooperative relay), the mix of voice, video and data traffic, the co-existence of different RATs (Radio Access Technologies), the growing importance of indoor coverage and the paradigm shifts (e.g., femtocells). The future wireless networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. This workshop will bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, radio network planning and optimization consulting firms and tool producers) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future wireless communication networks deployment, planning and optimization. Topics of interest relating to network planning and optimization and future wireless communications are (but not limited to): 1. Automatic UMTS/HSPA/LTE/LTE-A/WiFi/WiMAX radio network planning and optimization methods 2. The use of measurements in radio network planning and optimisation 3. Indoor network planning and optimization (BBU+RRU, repeaters, DAS, picocells and femtocells) 4. Heterogeneous wireless networks (UMTS/HSPA/LTE/WiFi/WiMAX/DVB) simulation, planning and optimization 5. Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in LTE and LTE-Advanced networks 6. Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios PlanNet2011 accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 6 pages, including tables and figures (up to two extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submissions will be conducted electronically on the conference website: http://www.comsoc.org/confs/icc/2011/index.php . ------------------ Important Dates ------------------ Paper submission: Oct. 15, 2010 Notification: January 11, 2011 Camera ready: February 11, 2011 -------------------- Workshop Chairs -------------------- Prof. Jie Zhang, CWiND, University of Bedfordshire, UK Prof. Lingyang Song, Peking University, China Dr Hui Song, Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd, UK Website (under construction): http://www.beds.ac.uk/research/irac/cwind/PlanNet2011 Best regards, Jie ================================== In the book "Femtocells: Technologies and Deployment", we provide you an in-depth guide on 3G/4G femtocells: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470742984,descCd-descrip… ----------------------------------------------- Jie Zhang (PhD) Professor of Wireless Communications & Networks Director, Centre for Wireless Network Design (CWiND) Dept. of Computer Science & Technology University of Bedfordshire Luton, LU1 3JU UK E: jie.zhang(a)beds.ac.uk T: +44 (0)1582 743288 W: www.beds.ac.uk/departments/computing/staff/jie-zhang ----------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
