CFP: Greenets 2014, Bali, Indonesia, September 22 - 23, 2014
by Jaime Lloret Mauri 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

============================================================================ 3rd International Conference on Green Communications and Networking - GREENETS 2014 September 22 - 23, 2014 Bali, Indonesia http://www.greenets.org/ ============================================================================ Scope: Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f! ields including green mobile networ ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to: Communications and Networking: Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols: Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks Systems and Technology: Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks, simulation tools Energy-efficient management: Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques Protocols for cooperative management and control Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories: * Regular papers: Up to 7 pages * Short papers: Up to 4 pages * Poster and demo papers: Up to 1 page Papers must be formatted using the SPRINGER Author's Kit. Detailed instructions and templates are available here: http://greenets.org/2014/show/authors-kit Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: 27 December 2013 Notification and Registration: 01 March 2014 Camera Ready Paper Submission: 01 April 2014 Conference Date: 22 - 23 September 2014 Publication: Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus. Workshop proposals Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential instructors are requested to submit a workshop proposal of at most 5 pages, including biographical sketch of each organizers, to the Workshop Chairs by December 27, 2013.

Call for Book Chapters Book Title: Cognitive networks: applications and deployments To be published by: CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, USA Objective of the Book Cognitive networks 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 at any layer of the OSI model. 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. Cognitive networks make use of the information gathered from the network 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 cognitive networks. Moreover, they could learn from the past and use this ! knowledge to improve future decisio ns. The application of cognitive science in data networks has affected significantly data networks advances. The book gathers recent advances in cognitive networks from the last applications and deployment perspective. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: � Cognitive science applied to multimedia delivery � Application layer, transport layer and network layer cognitive protocols � Cognitive radio network protocols and algorithms � Automatic and self-aware protocols and algorithms for environment prediction � Prediction of data network states � Cognitive synchronization techniques for network protocols and algorithms � Cognitive network algorithms for e-health � Software applications for design and development of cognitive networks � Dynamic protocols based on the cognitive perception of their performance � Cognitive networks for Smartgrids � Cognitive, Automatic and self-autonomous ad-hoc and sensor networks � Artificial intelligence applied to wireless, mobile and dynamic networks � Security protocols and algorithms in cognitive networks � Artificial intelligence applied to power efficiency and energy saving protocols and algorithms � Cognitive protocol and algorithm models for saving communication costs � Intelligent techniques applied to QoS, content delivery, network Monitoring and network management � Smart collaborative and cooperative networks � Problem recognition and problem solving protocols � Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and neural networks applied to communication protocols and algorithms We welcome surveys and technical chapters presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results. We also expect chapters addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and chapters addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications. Abstracts/Chapters submission Abstracts/ Chapters can be submitted using email attachments to corresponding editors. Authors should send the chapters in single column format (single spaced, 10 point Times Roman font, 8.5 x 11-inch page size). The maximum number of pages for the abstract is 2. Editors expect camera ready chapters of about 15 to 20 pages, but more or less are allowed. Authors must include in the subject of their submission "Book chapter for Cognitive networks: applications and deployments" Tentative timeframe Abstract submission: 23 December 2013 Deadline for full chapter submission: 30 December 2013 Acceptance Notification: 25 Feb 2014 Revised chapter submission: 25 March, 2014 Publication: 2014 Editors: Jaime Lloret Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es Kayhan Zrar Ghafoor Koya University, University Park, Kurdistan Region - F.R.
