Workshop proposals should be submitted to the workshop co-chairs (to one co-chair or to all co-chairs), with the subject "IEEE/IFIP EUC-13 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL". The organizers of approved workshops/symposiums are required to announce the workshops/symposiums and their call for papers, form a program committee to review papers and decide upon the final program. The conference will provide workshop facilities including author registration, meeting room arrangement, coffee break, lunch, etc. Papers accepted for the workshops/symposiums will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and distributed to the participants. All accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI Compendex. The workshops/symposiums with more than 15 accepted papers will be granted with a free complimentary registration for the leading workshop organizer. Important Dates - Deadline for Workshop Proposals: March 1, 2013 - Notification of Acceptances: April 1, 2013 - Tentative Workshop Dates: November 13-15, 2013 IEEE/IFIP EUC-13 Workshop Co-Chairs Takahiro Hara, Osaka University, Japan (hara AT ist DOT osaka-u DOT ac DOT jp) Avinash Srinivasan, George Mason University, USA (asriniv5 AT gmu DOT edu) Andreas Constantinides, Frederick University, Cyprus (com.ca AT frederick DOT ac DOT cy, akonstan AT cs DOT ucy DOT ac DOTcy) Zheng Yan, Xidian University, China/Aalto University, Finland (zheng.yan AT aalto DOT fi, zhengyan.pz AT gmail DOT com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking
by Valerio Arnaboldi 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

*** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline: February 10, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread availability of mobile portable devices enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, coupled with the impelling need of communication anytime and anywhere, has rapidly raised the interest towards new approaches to communications between users. Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to their destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Mobility measurements and models, mobility trace analysis - Measurements, models, and analysis for user behaviors on mobile devices - Unicast and multicast routing - Transport, congestion control, and reliability issues - Content dissemination, content caching, service composition, opportunistic computing - Trust, security & privacy in opportunistic forwarding, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems, and key management - Application support and middleware for opportunistic networks - New applications and services relying on opportunistic networking - Systems and experience for real-world deployments Schedule -------- Submission deadline: February 10, 2013 Author notification: May 24, 2013 Revised paper due: June 30, 2013 Final author notification: September 16, 2013 Publication: TBD Guest Editors ------------- Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea Melek Onen, EURECOM, France Joerg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

LAST DAYS: CFP - 3rd IEEE SCPA 2013

Apologies for crossposting -------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------- The 3rd IEEE International Workshop of Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2013) June 9-13, 2013, Budapest, HUNGARY In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2013 http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2013/ Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN 1943-3581) or to the Special Issue on Recent Patents on Telecommunications Journal ((Online)ISSN 2211-7415, (Print) ISSN 2211-7407) Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and ! use this knowledge to improve futur e decisions. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop.
