[Tccc] First Call for Papers: JCM Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications

2009-11-10T19:04:00.001-08:00

Dear colleagues,

Enclosed is a first Call of Papers for the Journal of Communications
(JCM) Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and
Applications. Details are below or at
http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_rvca.html.

-----
CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021)
Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications

The promise of safer roads and enhanced driver experience enabled by
radio communication of location and traffic information among vehicles
(V2V), as well as between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I),
has attracted researchers for a long time. Generally, progress has been
relatively slow until a significant boost in the last few years became
possible thanks to recent developments in standardization and enabling
technology. The progress achieved in the development of the IEEE 802.11p
standard for the PHY and MAC communication layers and the IEEE 1609
suite of standards defining higher-layer functionalities, such as
resource management and security, and the allocation of spectrum in the
Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band in several countries,
have led to growing experimental testbed evaluation of related
technologies by industry and state road authorities. Despite these
advances, the space of road and vehicular communications is in its
infancy compared to more mature applications such as Wi-Fi or cellular
networks, in both the fundamental research and the practical sense.
There are many open questions remaining, ranging from physical-layer
issues of the wireless channel behavior in the highly dynamic and
interference-prone outdoor road environment, to specialized solutions
for channel access, routing and mobility management, and to novel
communication paradigms that go beyond the traditional point-to-point
exchange of messages (e.g. geocasting). Above all, it is not yet clear
which of the wealth of potential applications, ranging from safety and
collision avoidance to driver assistance to traffic management to
passenger infotainment, will take hold in the market and prove to be
popular with the public.

The Special Issue on Road and Vehicular Communications and Applications
is soliciting original contributions on related advances in theoretical
research, standardization work, experimental evaluation, and practical
implementation and deployment. Submissions reporting on accomplished
results as well as detailed surveys of the state-of-the-art are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Wireless channel behavior in the road and vehicular environment
* Transceiver design for vehicles and roadside infrastructure
* Medium-access protocols for vehicular communication
* Protocols and algorithms for vehicular networks (VANET)
* Cooperative communication and relaying
* Opportunistic routing and forwarding
* Location, navigation and mobility management
* Geographical routing methods
* Security and privacy in vehicular communications
* V2V and V2I communications
* Intra-vehicle wireless communication
* Public transport communication systems
* DSRC/WAVE standards

[Tccc] IEEE TCIAIG-Special Issue: Computational Intelligence and AI in Economic and Financial Games

2009-11-09T23:19:00.000-08:00

IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games

Special Issue: Computational Intelligence and AI in Economic and Financial
Games

Special-issue editors: Han La Poutr, Edward Tsang, Athanasios V.

Vasilakos

Economic and financial markets are often modeled in the form of economic or
financial games. This involves different players (or agents) that act in
such a marketplace. Such market models may vary from basic models like the
Cournot oligoply game, to labour markets, financial markets, auctions, and
negotiations.

Economic games model or prescribe rules for economic interaction and the
resulting payoffs. Given such game rules, typical issues are what strategies
players should play to get the best reward, what equilibria exist in such
games, and how rules should be changed to obtain certain intended overall
behaviour (e.g. from the regulators? point of view).

The usage of Computational Intelligence and AI techniques in economic games
has increased considerably in recent years. Instances include developing
adaptive agent strategies in games, developing negotiation strategies by
using adaptive opponent models, or by developing game rules that meet the
intended goals for joint behaviour of the players (mechanism design).

This special issue invites original papers in the above fields. Topics
include the development, usage or application of AI and CI techniques for
games including, but not limited to:

* Basic economic market games (coming from micro economics)

* Advanced market models (coming from realistic markets)

* Auction and negotiation games

* Games for policy formulation and training purposes

* Bargaining models

* Auditing

* Investment games and Risk management

The objectives may vary from strategy development and policy design, to
mechanism design, investigation of emergent behaviour, or the use of
simulation tools for decision makers (management games). Techniques of
particular interest include:

? Monte Carlo simulations

? Reinforcement learning

? Neural networks

? Evolutionary algorithms, evolutionary game theory, and the

evolution of agent behavior

? Static and dynamic games of incomplete information

Authors with original and innovative papers are invited to submit to the
Special Issue. Authors should follow normal T-CIAIG guidelines for their
submissions, but clearly identify their papers for this special issue during
the submission process.

Schedule

? Deadline for submissions: December 15 2009

? Notification of Acceptance: February 28 2010

? Final copy due: May 30 2010

? Publication: Summer/Autumn 2010

[Tccc] CFP: 5th International Workshop on Content Delivery Networks (CDN 2010) in conjunction with CCGrid 2010

2009-11-09T22:09:00.001-08:00

(Apologies if you have received this more than once)

**************************************************************************
5th International Workshop on Content Delivery Networks (CDN 2010)
to take place during
10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2010)
17-20 May 2010, Melbourne, Australia
URL: http://www.cloudbus.org/cdn/2010
***************************************************************************

*** Papers Due: 5th December 2009 ***

We are in the midst of an Internet computing revolution. One vision of
21st century computing is that users will access
Internet services and ?resource-hungry" applications (e.g., gaming,
streaming media etc.) over lightweight portable devices
rather than through some descendant of the traditional desktop PCs. In
this context, distributing and processing
Internet-based data in an efficient and cost-effective manner is a
challenging issue in Internet technology.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have emerged to address this challenge
by offering infrastructure and mechanisms
to deliver content and services in a scalable manner. Nevertheless,
modern applications do not just perform retrieval
or access operation on content, but also create, modify and manage
content, and actively place them at appropriate locations.
To deal with such new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs)
are being introduced. Design and implementation of
robust and efficient CNs in large-scale computing environments demand
for the use of emerging paradigms and software
technologies, such as Peer-to-Peer, Grid and the latest IT trend?Cloud
computing. The integration of these emerging
technologies in content delivery opens new perspectives in Internet
technologies, raising new issues in the architecture,
design and implementation of existing CDNs.

Areas of interest
CDN 2010 is intended as a forum for lively discussion of aggressively
innovative and potentially disruptive ideas
in all aspects of CDNs. The main theme of this full day workshop is
"Content Delivery in the Cloud".
CDN 2010 will capture new research trends and results in terms of
design, architecture,
and applications for content and service delivery in the Internet and
Clouds;
optimization for Cloud-based content delivery; and performance
measurement methodologies.
Position papers will be strongly favored.
Specifically, the areas of interest are the following (but are not limited):

* Cloud/Grid/P2P/Agent-based Content delivery and management on the
Internet
* Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications
* Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), business models and service pricing
* Content distribution internetworking scenarios, architectures and
methodologies
* Cross-platform interoperability
* Performance of application and service delivery in the Cloud
* Scalable, self-managing and autonomic Content Delivery Clouds
* Privacy, security, ownership and reliability issues

[Tccc] IEEE Systems Journal - Special Issue on Broadband Accessl Networks

2009-11-09T20:14:00.000-08:00

IEEE Systems Journal

A Special Issue on Broadband Access Networks

With the rapid growth of the Internet as well as the increasing demand for
broadband services, access networks have been receiving growing
investments in recent years. This has led to a massive network deployment
with the goal of eliminating the bandwidth bttleneck between end]users
and the network core. Today many diverse technologies are being used to
provide broadband access to end users. The architecture and performance of
the access segment (local loop, wired and wireless access networks,
and even home networks) are receiving increasing attenion for ensuring
quality of service of diverse broadband applications. Moreover, most
access lines will no longer terminate on a single device, thus
leading to the necessity of having a home network designed for
applications that transcend simple Internet access sharing among multiple
personal computers and enable multimedia support. Therefore, the access
network and its home portion have become a hot investment pool from both a
financial as well as a research perspective.

Various technologies have been reported for enabling the broadband access.
In the wired regime, optical access networks, most notably passive optical
networks (PONs), have received extensive attention recently as a more
advanced alternative against the legacy copper]wire access networks due
to the bandwidth enhancement and lower maintenance cost offered by optical
fibers. These types of networks, enabled by various optical networking
technologies, have been widely deployed around the world. In the
wireless regime, IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs have become ubiquitous as a
mean for broadband access in all hotspots. Other emerging technologies for
wireless metropolitan]area access, such as IEEE 802.16 WiMAX and
IMT]Advance, provide larger coverage, longer transmission distances, and
more quality]of-service (QoS) guaranteed connections. A convergence of
the wired and wireless technologies in terms of protocol/architecture
design, infrastructure deployment, and control & management, has created
another design dimension which leads to the future broadband access
networks. The resultant network will achieve hybrid optical]wireless
access and fixed mobile convergence (FMC) where the two types of networks
complement with each other.

The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high]quality
research papers that report the latest research advances in broadband
access networks as well as the integration of optical and wireless
technologies, with a special focus on protocol design and service
provisions in such highly demanding network environments. We are
soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not
currently under consideration by any other journal. Indeed, this is a
topic of growing importance and one that has not been featured in any
recent magazine or journal publication. In particular, some of key
topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

- FTTx and PON technologies
- WiFi and WiMax networks
- IMT]Advance/LTE]A (4G) radio access network architecture
- Integrated wired/wireless access networks
- Long reach Ethernet
- Deployment/standardization statuses

Re: [Tccc] CFP:International Journal of Database Management Systems ( IJDMS )

2009-11-09T17:57:00.001-08:00

Hi,

Please refrain posts of little or no relevance to computer communications.

As a reminder to all on this list: this is the IEEE Technical Committee
on Computer Communication's mailing list.

This list, as a result, is for issues related to computer communications.

Although we define "computer communications" very broadly, posts such as
the recent ones for natural computing, cyber-physical systems,
computation and control, information technology management, and
multi-camera imaging, are off-topic and should probably be posted
elsewhere.

Best regards,
Xiaoming (list admin)

Networks (AASNET '10) is held in conjunction with the 24th IEEE
International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and
Applications (AINA 2010)

http://sites.google.com/site/aasnet10/

Wireless mobile ad hoc and sensor network nodes have limited battery
capacity. Hence, they tend to be energy conservative. Many MAC, routing
protocols, scheduling scheme were proposed to promote energy
conservation without degrading the performance of the network.
Nonetheless, nowadays, many real-time applications have been proposed
and developed using ad hoc and sensor networks.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic and
industry professionals to discuss recent progress and challenges in the
area of real time applications in ad hoc and sensor networks. We
encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on
AASNET.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Energy-aware routing protocols

Energy-aware scheduling techniques

***** CALL FOR PAPERS *****

Theme of the Workshop
=====================

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have received great research interests because
of
their broad applications such as large-scale file sharing and media
streaming
services. Until now, the success of P2P paradigms has been mainly in
traditional
wired network environments. With the advance of modern wireless and mobile
communications (e.g., WLAN, MANET, WiMAX, 3G, 3.5G, and emerging 4G), there
is
an increasing interest for mobile users with broadband access to participate
in
P2P services anywhere anytime through their mobile handheld devices.

Wireless mobile networks have special characteristics, such as highly
variable
connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, energy and resource
sensitivity, communication asymmetry, high bandwidth expense, and so on. All
these pose research challenges that do not exist in traditional network
settings. New techniques are thus required in order to leverage mobile P2P
computing for efficient and reliable applications and services.

Mobile P2P is a cross-disciplinary research involving networking,
information
dissemination, databases, and security. The main goal of the workshop is to
gather scientists from these areas together to foster collaboration and
sparkle
discussion on various aspects of mobile P2P, including but not limited to,
mobile users' scenarios and usage cases, overlay design, development and
deployment, mobile data dissemination, mobile database management, and
location-
based information services. The workshop also aims to discuss mobile P2P in
various networking environments such as vehicular, cellular and/or
large-scale
heterogeneous networks.

Workshop Goals
==============

Mobile P2P is a cross cutting area as it crosses communications, networking,
information dissemination, databases, and security. The main goal of the
workshop is to gather scientists from these areas together to foster the
collaboration among such interdisciplinary areas and sparkle discussion on
open
topics related to mobile P2P.

Workshop Scope
==============

The scope of this workshop includes but is not limited to the following
topics:

- Peer-to-peer overlays for wireless and mobile networks

[Tccc] ICC 2010 E2NETS Workshop Call for Papers

2009-11-09T10:30:00.001-08:00

IEEE ICC-2010 Workshop on
Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency
http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl

to be held in conjunction with the
IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010)
23-27 May 2010 Cape Town, South Africa
at Cape Town's International Conference Centre (CTICC).

The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall
energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is
useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two
fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this
cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI
study, the ICT sector contributes around two per cent of global greenhouse gas
(CHG) emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must
also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible
networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant
energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that
all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures
will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques
and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy
consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service
required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum
utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Green
networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also
the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of the
heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the
following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered:
* Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency.
* Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency.
* Energy-efficiency measures.
* Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery.
* Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy
efficiency.
* Algorithms for scheduling and resource management.
* Energy harvesting.
* Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency.
* User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns.
* Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless
signals.

Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent of the
global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy
consumption of industrial/home/office environments/applications. For example,
along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies,
wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help
navigators to find a suitable route leading to energy savings. To this extent,
in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist
of:
* ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as
transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings.
* Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications.
* Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments.
* Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions.
* New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency.
* Energy efficient virtualization of resources.

Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and
included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010.
Paper submission via EDAS, http://www.edas.info.

What is different?

The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be
dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will be
slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here we have
identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless
Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both have been
currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the
industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have
started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the
energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken into
account by the ICT community.

The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into the
two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2. These two
groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate
discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research
ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group. Then
they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with all of
the participants.

This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger perspective.
It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to quickly
crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize
their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come. It
is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a list
of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the participants to
team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this
exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will start
cooperation with each other.
