-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICC 2010 Workshop E2NETS, Deadine Extended to 11 January 2010 Datum: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:03:48 +0100 Von: Ertan Onur <ertanon(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please excuse us if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE ICC-2010 Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010) 23-27 May 2010 Cape Town, South Africa at Cape Town's International Conference Centre (CTICC). The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around two per cent of global greenhouse gas (CHG) emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Green networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of the heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency. * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy-efficiency measures. * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery. * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency. * Algorithms for scheduling and resource management. * Energy harvesting. * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency. * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns. * Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals. Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial/home/office environments/applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading to energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications. * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments. * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions. * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy efficient virtualization of resources. Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010. Paper submission via EDAS, 5 pages IEEE format. http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8321&track=8419 Full papers due: Jan 11 2009 Acceptance notification: Jan 30 2010 Camera ready version: Feb 10 2010 General Chair Ignas Niemegeers, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Publicity Chair Hakan Delic, Bogazici University, Turkey Technical Program Committee Chair R. Venkatesha Prasad, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Technical Program Committee Co-Chair Ertan Onur, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands What is different? The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will be slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here we have identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both have been currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken into account by the ICT community. The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into the two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2. These two groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group. Then they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with all of the participants. This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger perspective. It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to quickly crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come. It is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a list of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the participants to team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will start cooperation with each other. Contact Information R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on VCN--Deadline extended to 5 Jan. 2010 Datum: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:31:02 +0000 Von: xuemin hong <xuemin.hong(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ***************************************************************************************************** *Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this JSAC SI CFP* ***************************************************************************************************** CFP: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications on Vehicular Communications and Networks **Paper submission deadline extended to 5 January 2010*. http://jsac.ucsd.edu/upcoming.html ***************************************************************************************************** Vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems aim to improve traffic safety, protect environment by reducing traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and enable a plethora of new applications such as mobile infotainment. To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols th! at should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • Adoption and adaptation of web technologies • Application protocols and service architectures • Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation • Domain-specific security and privacy solutions • Inter-networking technologies and architectures • MAC technologies and channel management • Multiple radio integration and control • Physical layer and RF level technologies • Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support • Real-time experimental systems and testbeds • RF integration and SDR technologies • Safety and non-safety applications and services • Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques • Delay tolerant networks • Energy efficient communications • Traffic and mobility models Submission Guidelines Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/. Authors MUST submit their manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website http://edas.info and must be in PDF format.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings.
