We apologize for the reception of multipe copies. ==================================================================== International Workshop on Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication With and Without Infrastructure: http://d2dgc13.prosjekt.uia.no/ Collocated with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013, 9-13 December 2013, Atlanta, USA Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has gained increasing popularity very recently, not only among researchers in academia and industries but also among standardization bodies. D2D communication enables two or more mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish direct local links, either in an autonomous manner to form an ad hoc network or coordinated by a base station to perform direct data transfer. The benefits of D2D communication include ubiquitous computing and communication, traffic offload from cellular networks, improved energy efficiency and coverage extension, peer-to-peer communication supporting social networks etc. However, there are many issues to be addressed before the concept of D2D communication can be implemented and commercialized. These problems include for example how to find device proximity, how to manage interference and how to control link quality, how to achieve energy efficiency for neighbor discovery and multi-hop communication establishment, etc. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together the state-of-the-art results in the field of D2D communication, including both cellular-coordinated approaches and distributed ad hoc networking solutions, and to share knowledge to trigger D2D communication from concept to reality. The topics to be addressed by this workshop include both physical layer and networking issues as well as envisaged services and applications. Topics of interest cover all aspects related to D2D communication with and without infrastructure, including results for both cellular-coordinated approaches and distributed ad hoc networking solutions from academia, industries as well as standardization bodies. In particular, this workshop solicits contributions on the following (but not limited to) topics: - Frequency reuse and spectrum sharing for D2D communication - Energy-harvesting aware protocols for D2D communication - Power and interference management - Resource allocation and optimization for D2D communication in cellular networks - Neighbor discovery and link maintenance - Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication - MAC mechanisms for distributed and central-controlled D2D networks - Routing protocols for multi-hop D2D networks - Device-initiated versus BS-coordinated link establishment - WiFi Direct based implementations and applications - LTE Direct based implementations and applications - Programs and apps for D2D communication based on smartphones - Business models for D2D communication Important Dates - Paper submission: 25 June 2013 - Acceptance notification: 1 September 2013 - Camera-ready: 1 October 2013 - Workshop date: 9 (or 13) December 2013 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers need to be uploaded to the EDAS GLOBECOM 2013 workshop submission link (http://edas.info/) of this workshop, and should follow the GLOBECOM 2013 paper submission guidelines. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of Six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures (maximum 1 additional page is allowed with over-length page charge of USD100 if accepted). All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore together with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if it is not presented at the conference.

Big Data talk by Prof. Jagadish

dbjapanの皆様ミシガン大のJagadish先生によるBig Dataに関する講演会を開催します．奮ってご参加下さい．吉川正俊 --------------------- Date/Time: Friday, April 12, 2013, 14:45-16:15 Speaker: H. V. Jagadish Bernard A Galler Collegiate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Michigan Title: "Big Data: Challenges and Opportunities outside the Box" Room: Large Seminar Room 1st floor of Science Frontier Laboratory ("Sentan-tou" in Japanese) Faculty of Medicine Campus Kyoto University http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/profile/intro/access/campus/medicine.htm Abstract: The promise of data-driven decision-making is now being recognized broadly, and there is growing enthusiasm for the notion of ``Big Data.'' In fact, it is hard to avoid mention of Big Data anywhere we turn today. Yet, many have a very narrow interpretation of what that means, and we lose track of the fact that there are multiple steps to the data analysis pipeline, whether the data are big or small. At each step, there is work to be done, and there are challenges with Big Data. This talk will present an overview of the challenges and then delve into some Big Data issues that may not be the first ones that come to your mind when you hear the term. --------------------- Best Regards, Masatoshi Yoshikawa o--------------o---------o-----o----o---o--o-oo Masatoshi Yoshikawa Department of Social Informatics Graduate School of Informatics Kyoto University Yoshida-Honmachi, Sakyo, Kyoto 606-8501, JAPAN phone: +81(75)753-5975 mobile: 080 3506 5355 fax: +81(75)753-4970 e-mail: yoshikawa(a)i.kyoto-u.ac.jp o--------------o---------o-----o----o---o--o-oo

IEEE CPSCom 2013 Conference (Aug 20-23, 2013, Beijing, China) - deadline April 17
by CPScomConf. 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Dear colleague, We would like to bring to your attention about the Call for Paper for IEEE CPSCom 2013 Conference. Please share this joint CFP to your colleagues, mailing lists and social networks. Please note the deadline for submission is April 17. You may also find this CFP at http://www.china-iot.net/CFP/CPSCom2013_CFP.txt. Many thanks. CPSCom Publicity Chair ======================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom 2013) http://www.china-iot.net/cpscom2013.htm Beijing, China, August 20-23, 2013 ========================================================= INTRODUCTION As an emerging cross-disciplinary research area, the Cyber Physical System (CPS) is attracting attention worldwide. A Cyber-Physical Systems is a system featuring a combination of computational and physical elements, all of which are capable of interacting, reflecting and influencing each other. Furthermore, social systems are evolving with cyber systems and physical systems along with the popularity of online social networking. With the advent of ubiquitous sensing and networking, future social networks turn into cyber-physical interactions, which are attached with associated social attributes. The emergence of the cyber-physical-social computing will significantly change the way we see the world. In the mean time, the convergence of the physical, cyber, and social spaces will exhibit a variety of complicated characteristics, which brings more open issues and challenges for research communities. The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (CPSCom 2013) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the CPSCom, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.
