============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS –- NEW DEADLINE September 15, 2011
2nd IEEE International Workshop on Densely Connected Networks (DCN)
IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2012 (IEEE CCNC 2012) Jan 14, 2012, Las Vegas, NV, USA

Goals and Topics
Recently there has been an emerging trend that networks expand the coverage to home networks, personal networks, in-vehicle networks, etc. In such networks, there exist complex interactions among context-specific servers, various sensors and a large number of appliances and equipments. The network resources in such densely connected networks can become very much scarce especially when they are interconnected; furthermore, emerging applications such as peer-to-peer and streaming applications are typically oblivious to the complex structure of underlying networks and can easily abuse the scarce resources. Additionally, energy saving can become a key factor in network design. In wireline networks, proposals such as application-layer traffic optimization have become well-known potential solutions to addressing similar challenges; however, these approaches are no longer sufficient to address the more fundamental technical challenges in densely connected networks.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a dedicated forum and community for researchers and engineers to share the state-of-the-art innovations and developments on the emerging densely connected networks. In particular, the workshop will focus on technical challenges in and emerging architecture for densely connected networks where a significantly large number of tethered and mobile devices are connected and on top of which applications unaware of the complexity of underlying networks try to compete for the resources in an uncooperative fashion.
The workshop seeks submissions in the general areas of networking, content management, systems and applications that relate to dense networks. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Network architecture and its evolution of densely connected networks * Content dissemination via dense connectivity * Statistics, measurement, and evaluations of application-specific resource usage * Cooperative mechanisms via explicit or implicit communications * Caching mechanisms and system design in content dissemination for densely connected networks * Incentive models and dynamics of cooperation * Demonstration, prototype, deployment of cooperative frameworks * Performance measurement of cooperative network design * Network design that encourages cooperation and optimizes resource usage * Joint optimization for network and applications * Energy saving in densely connected networks
Guidelines for Submission
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation.
Manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column) and not exceed 5 pages in length. Submission of papers should be regarded as a commitment such that, if accepted, at least one author of the paper will register and attend the conference; otherwise it will be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after the conference.
Papers should be submitted in .pdf format via the EDAS paper submission website by selecting the workshop submission.
