The development and deployment of Smart Grid technology has become an urgent global priority as its envisioned economic, environmental, and social benefits will be enjoyed not only now but also by generations to come. Numerous worldwide science foundations and governments are currently supporting the development and deployment of Smart Grid technology. The vision of Smart Grid relies heavily on the information and communications technologies as they will empower today’s power grid with the unprecedented capability of supporting two-way energy and information flow, isolating and restoring power outages more quickly, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, and empowering the consumer with tools for optimized energy consumption. One critical aspect of the Smart Grid related information and communications technologies is the cyber, physical and system security. Cyber, physical and system security includes the protection of networks and servers from unauthorized accesses and malicious attacks. Cyber, physical and system security also covers the protection of compromised control and measurement units from doing harm to the system, physical security, secure state estimation, intrusion detection, etc. Although critical, cyber and system security of Smart Grid are still largely remaining unaddressed, and many important questions need to be answered and critical problems need to be solved. This special issue is intended to bring together the most recent advances in the field of cyber, physical and system security of Smart Grid from industry, government, and academia. This special issue covers all aspects of cyber, physical and system security of Smart Grid that are involved in providing a reliable and robust security environment for the operation of Smart Grid to realize its envisioned economic, environmental, and social benefits.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series

-------- 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. This workshop will highlight the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and network technologies devoted for different applications. Issues related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention. The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Autonomous manipulation using service robots - Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.) - Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields - Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart textile clothes and wearable robots applications - Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics - Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications - Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition - Applications of Autonomous Behavior - Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems - Assistive robotic technology - Energy optimization of autonomous systems - Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment - Context awareness using sensor networks - Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems - Real-time network based structure using sensors, actuators and transducers, etc. All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance to the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication anywhere else.

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

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CHANTS 2010 - Deadlines extended Datum: Mon, 24 May 2010 00:33:09 -0400 Von: Brenton Walker <brenton(a)cs.wisc.edu> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Brenton Walker <brenton(a)ltsnet.net> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. It was requested that we extend the abstract registration deadline for CHANTS 2010, so we have re-opened abstract registration and extended paper submission deadlines by a week. The new deadlines are below, and the original CFP is attached. Thank you, Brenton Walker Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2010) Co-located with MobiCom 2010, 24 September 2010, Chicago, Illinois, USA http://dtnbone.umiacs.umd.edu/chants2010 ========================================================================= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. The goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement systems for effective and efficient communication in this diverse range of conditions. The workshop solicits papers and demos relating to the following topics: * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Case studies involving challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Delay/disruption-tolerant networking (DTNs) * Applications in challenged networks * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications of challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop. Demos have been an integral part of CHANTS, and we aim to accept up to ten demos. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases where live demos are not practical, poster or video presentations are acceptable. Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Paper submissions will be handled via EDAS http://edas.info/N8985 Demo abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall be at most 3 pages plus a one page description of the precise setup and requirements. Demo proposals should be emailed to Earl Oliver by 18 June. NOTE: Demo submitters should expect to receive an acknowledgment of their submission from Earl. Important Dates: ---------------- Abstract Registration: 28 May 2010 (was 21 May) Submission Deadline: 4 June 2010 (was 28 May) Demo Submission: 18 June 2010 Acceptance Notification: 1 July 2010 Camera Ready Due: 15 July 2010 Co-chairs: ---------- Pan Hui Deutsche Telekom Laboratories Pan.Hui_at_telekom.de Brenton Walker Lab for Telecommunications Sciences brenton_at_ltsnet.net Demo Chair: ----------- Earl Oliver University of Waterloo eaoliver_at_uwaterloo.ca _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
