ComCom SI on Opportunistic Networking: Deadline Extended to Feb 26, 2013
by Valerio Arnaboldi 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

*** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========= PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ========= FEBRUARY 26, 2013 (11:59pm PST) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline (extended): February 26, 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 (extended): February 26, 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. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: Opp-Net" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

2nd CFP WiSARN 2013-Spring - || May 20-23, 2013, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA - (In conjunction with IEEE DCOSS'13)
by Sandra Sendra 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Call for Papers The 7th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2013-Spring) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~zhuan045/WiSARN/WiSARN2013.html To be held in conjunction with The 9th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'13) May 20-23, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), 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, WSANs 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 WSANs, WSNs, 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 Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library after the conference and included in DCOSS 2013 proceedings. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (SCIE). Important dates Paper submission: March 1, 2013 Author notification: March 30, 2013 Camera ready: April 15, 2013 Workshop date: May 23, 2013 General Chair Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs: Shuhui Yang, Purdue University Calumet, USA. Hannes Frey, University of Paderbon, Germany. Publicity Co-Chairs: Liang He, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapre. Sandra Sendra, universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain.
