[ns] CFP: F.T. Issue IEEE Communications Magazine: RECENT ADVANCES IN GREEN INDUSTRIAL NETWORKING
CFP: Feature Topic Issue IEEE Communications Magazine: RECENT ADVANCES IN GREEN INDUSTRIAL NETWORKING http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/recent-advances-green-industrial-networking CALL FOR PAPERS With the explosive increases in global energy consumption, it has become an imperative for governmental and industrial institutions to address the impacts of growing energy use. Hence, the development of green and low-carbon economy has recently been attracting a great deal of attention in the industry. However, it is expected that the growing demand for industrial networking can only be met with limited resources. This is considered to be one of the major challenges that needs to be addressed. It is hoped that global industry efforts focused on such key challenges can allow us to reach the realization of sustainable development. We believe that networking technologies will be critical and greatly contribute to achieving large-scale energy savings in all areas of the industrial production. Green industrial networking technologies are expected to lead to not only emission reduction and energy savings in products and services, but also enabling low-carbon emissions in other industries. In order to meet the requirements of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the energy consumption in Industrial networking. The need for green industrial networking technologies has been recognized during the last few years by our research communities. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. This Feature Topic is intended to stimulate high-quality research in Recent Advances in Green Industrial Networking, and move the theoretical and practical frontiers forward for a deeper understanding in fundamental algorithms, modeling, and analysis techniques from academic and industrial viewpoints. Authors from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of Recent Advances in Green Industrial Networking, including algorithms, modeling, technologies and applications. The topics suggested can be discussed in terms of concepts, the state of the art, standards, implementations and evaluation, and running experiments and/or applications. Topics of interest in green industrial networking include, but are not limited to: Theory, modeling, analysis, and/or optimization Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs Energy efficiency and measurements Architecture, strategies, algorithms, protocols, scheduling, and/or designs Cross-layer optimization Security, privacy, and trust issues Green technologies for mobile, wireless, wired industrial networking Green data storage, data centers and cloud computing for industrial networking Field trials, experiments, and testbeds Standards, policy and regulation New technologies and research trends SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology community. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words (from introduction through conclusions). Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of archival references (no website URLs as references) is recommended not to exceed 15. In some rare cases, more mathematical equations, figures, and tables may be allowed, if well-justified. In general, however, mathematics should be avoided; instead, references to papers containing the relevant mathematics should be provided. Complete guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts are posted at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. Please submit a PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted paper via Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee). Register or log in, and go to Author Center.

[ns] Call for Book Chapters: Cognitive networks: applications and deployments, CRC Press - Taylor Francis Group
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.

[ns] CFP: SI on Green Communications and Networking - MONET (I.F.: 1.109)
Special Issue on Green Communications and Networking Springer Mobile Network Applications (MONET) Impact Factor: 1.109 Overview The worldwide growing energy demands together with the increasing depletion of fossil fuels have been recognized as a major challenge that needs to be urgently addressed by society in order to have a sustainable future. To investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint is of prime importance. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication and networking systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications! networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the total). The need for greener communications and networking technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Springer Mobile Network Applications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications and networking, which solicits original, unpublished research papers both from academy and industry reporting on substantial results in the green communications and networking area enabling significant future energy savings.

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.

[ns] CFP: D2D Communication 2013 - Collocated with IEEE GLOBECOM 2013, 9-13 December 2013, Atlanta, USA
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).

Apologies for cross-posting *CALL FOR PAPERS* 1ST IEEE WORKSHOP ON ELECTRIC VEHICLE NETWORKS FOR SMART GRID APPLICATIONS (EVN-SGA 2013) June 2, 2013, Dresden, Germany In conjuntion with 2013 IEEE 77th Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2013-Spring Workshop website: http://www.nprg.ncsu.edu/evn-sga/ The number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the road is increasing at a fast pace. These vehicles require frequent charging, thus straining the power grid that needs to adapt to these extra loads. A smart grid needs to be able to accommodate seamlessly the extra power demand generated by such vehicles. Hence, there is a pressing need to develop novel vehicular protocols and communication networks to provide information regarding the placement of closest charging stations to the vehicles, availability of charging slots and other services offered in real time. Further, they can be employed for vehicle monitoring, for providing data for detailed usage analysis, remote management, as well as to improve reliability, and even to help decide whether vehicles should be charged at on- or off-peak times. To accomplish these tasks and in addition to monitor dynamic pricing, offer flexible billing smart devices need to be developed and integrated in the network. On the supply side, operators should optimize grid operations and offer energy efficiency programs to reduce consumption and help smooth demand. Smart grid technology would enable utility companies to efficiently manage large number of electric vehicles; such technologies would integrate sensors, advanced meters, smart transformers, automatic energy distribution, load monitoring, and intelligent energy management to minimize operational problems and maximize efficiency of the power grid Finally, there is need for infrastructure that would provide up to date maps of locations and services of charging stations, or for battery switching and swapping. For electric vehicles to become a viable large scale transportation option, a reliable, ubiquitous recharging network is needed and the associated information, communications and control infrastructure needs to be developed. The 1st IEEE Workshop on Electric Vehicle Networks for Smart Grid Applications (EVN-SGA 2013) will serve as a forum for researchers from industry and academia, standard developers, professionals, policy makers and practitioners to share their state-of-the-art research and development results. The purpose of the workshop is to foster discussion on emerging and novel approaches to integrate electric vehicles within the future smart grid, from all angles of views, including researchers, developers, manufacturers, policy regulators, funding bodies. Attendees will be able to gain a clear picture on the current status, the future and opportnuities in the field of electric vehicles and to interact with the highest experts all over the world on the subject. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard forums or in industry consortia. 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: - Communication protocols and algorithms for Electric Vehicle networks. - Vehicle-to-Grid networks (V2G) and interconnection of electric vehicles. - Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Electric Vehicle networks. - Electric Vehicle System Architectures and infrastructures. - Electric Vehicle Services and utilities. - Electric Vehicle Modeling, Simulation and Testing. - Electric Vehicle Network Components. - Electric Vehicle Monitoring. - Electric Vehicle pricing and billing. - Electric Vehicle Mobility Services and Customer Experience. - Power Grid Challenges for Electric Vehicle Charging/Discharging Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit a 5-page full paper in PDF format through the conference website using the Trackchaironline-submission system http://vtc13spr-wp.trackchair.com/track/1067.

Call for Papers Special Issue on Localization, Positioning and Coverage in Wireless Sensor Networks International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC) ISSN online: 1743- 8233. ISSN print: 1743-8225 Journal Impact Factor: 0.848 (2011). http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1741 In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deployments, wireless sensor nodes should be strategically placed in order to maximize the sensed area while minimizing the number of nodes to be placed in the field. Moreover, wireless radio coverage distances should be taken into account in order to cover large areas. Wireless sensors may be located quite far from each other, allowing lower deployment costs, but it may increase the wireless sensor node power consumption due to the energy needed to reach large distances. Although many factors may affect the position of each wireless sensor node inside the WSN, there are two main ones: the radio coverage area, which allows the sensors to communicate, and, the sensing coverage area, which gives the sensing region. Both types of coverage areas could be affected by the field where the WSN is deployed, but different factors affect each type of coverage. The goal is to maximize the coverage percentage, while coverage holes should be minimized. This special issue is focused on sensor node location and positioning techniques taking into account the aforementioned constraints. Suitable topics include but are not limited to: - WSN radio coverage. - WSN sensing field. - WSN deployment zones. - Isotropic and sectorial sensing nodes. - Positioning systems. - Node location techniques. - Analytical node placement systems. - 2D and 3D Regions of Interest in WSNs. - Theoretical systems and analytical methods to maximize the radio and sensing coverage. - Sensing gain and power gain systems. - Sleep scheduling techniques for enhancing WSN coverage. - Self-organization Strategies.

= The 2012 International Workshop on Technologies and Applications for Cyber-Physical Systems (TACPS 2012) http://web.ftrai.org/tacps2012 (TBA) Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012 In Conjunction with EMC 2012 http://www.ftrai.org/emc2012 *** TACPS 2012 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on advances in technologies and applications for cyber physical system. Cyber Physical System (CPS) is not a new field, but a new type of system which is reflected physical characteristics to embedded system and emphasized importance of controlling between systems are connected each other through network. Components of CPS, e.g. controller, sensor, actuator, and etc. should transmit the information to cyber space through sensing the environment of real world in real-time, and also they should reflect policy of cyber space to real world in real-time. Therefore, many components of CPS should be available to communicate each other. In addition, CPS consists of controller, sensor, and actuator could reflect the information of cyber space to real world through monitoring a variety of information and controlling actuator in real-time. So, high reliability technology and application are needed for accurate real-time control in CPS, and data encryption is needed for confidentiality and integrity of data which is transmitted over the network. TACPS 2012 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of CPS. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in CPS. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. ==Topic== Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to: - Real-time Architectures for CPS - Real-time Control Techniques for CPS - Communications and Networks for CPS - Middlewares for CPS - Applications and Services for CPS - Interoperation Systems for CPS - Fault Tolerant System for CPS - Security Issues suitable for CPS - Sensor networks for CPS - Protocols and algorithms for CPS ==Organization== General Chairs -- James J.

[ns] Last 2 days for 2nd IEEE SCPA 2012 [ICC'12 WS]
Apologies for crossposting CALL FOR PAPERS - The 2nd IEEE Internacional Workshop of Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (IEEE SCPA 2012 - Summer) June 10-15, 2012, Ottawa, CANADA In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012 http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2012 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) 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. We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications. Topics of interest: 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: - Smart network protocols and algorithms for multimedia delivery - Application layer, transport layer and network layer cognitive protocols - Cognitive radio network protocols and algorithms - Automatic protocols and algorithms for environment prediction. - Algorithms and protocols to predict data network states. - Intelligent synchronization techniques for network protocols and algorithms - Smart protocols and algorithms for e-health - Software applications for smart algorithms design and development. - Dynamic protocols based on the perception of their performance - Smart protocols and algorithms for Smartgrids - Protocols and algorithms focused on building conclusions for taking the appropriate actions. - Smart Automatic and self-autonomous ad-hoc and sensor networks. - Artificial intelligence applied in protocols and algorithms for wireless, mobile and dynamic networks. - Smart security protocols and algorithms - Smart cryptographic algorithms for communication - Artificial intelligence applied to power efficiency and energy saving protocols and algorithms - Smart routing and switching protocols and algorithms - Cognitive protocol and algorithm models for saving communication costs. - Any kind of intelligent technique applied to QoS, content delivery, network Monitoring and network management. - Smart collaborative protocols and algorithms - Problem recognition and problem solving protocols - Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and neural networks applied to communication protocols and algorithms Important Dates Submission Deadline (Extended): December 20, 2011 Acceptance Notification: February 10, 2012 Camera Ready Deadline: March 1, 2012 Submission guidelines: All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS (http://edas.info//N11477).

Special Issue Underwater Sensor Nodes and Underwater Sensor Networks Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) Website: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/underwater_sens Journal Impact Factor: 1.771 (2010); 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.917 (2010), Q1 in Instruments Instrumentation Deadline: 15 December 2011 More than the 70% of the earth surface is covered with water (almost all of that is the ocean). New technologies have brought us new ways to monitor and sense aquatic environments. Marine surveillance, pollution detection and monitoring, and oceanographic data collection are needed to explore, protect, and commercial exploit the aquatic environment. Many potential applications exist such as fish and mussels grow observation, deep-sea archaeology, seismic and volcanic prediction, oil monitoring and so on. This special issue tries to collect the recent advances on underwater sensors and underwater sensor networks to measure, monitor, surveillance and control underwater environments. Because of the environment nature, many features must be taken into account: the need of large number of nodes, limited energy of the nodes, short-distance radio communications, large propagation latency, low bandwidth capacity and high error rate. All these constraints make underwater sensors and underwater sensor networks a special case of the regular ones. Topics of interest of this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Sensor nodes to measure water parameters (salinity, conductivity, turbidity, pH, oxygen, temperature, depth, etc.) - Sediments and pollution sensor nodes - Acoustic sensors - Underwater sensor network architectures - Wired and wireless protocols for underwater sensor networks - Localization systems for underwater wireless sensor networks - Target tracking using underwater sensor networks - Optical, acoustic and electromagnetic communications for underwater sensor networks - Modems for underwater sensor networks - Study cases, implementations and real deployments of underwater sensor networks - Routing protocols specialized for underwater wireless sensor networks - Cooperation in underwater sensor networks - Modeling and simulation in underwater sensor networks - Data collection, storage, and retrieval by underwater sensor network Submission Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering at (http://www.mdpi.com/user/register/) and logging in to this website (http://www.mdpi.com/user/login/).

New technologies have brought us new ways to monitor and sense aquatic environments. Marine surveillance, pollution detection and monitoring, and oceanographic data collection are needed to explore, protect, and commercial exploit the aquatic environment. Many potential applications exist such as fish and mussels grow observation, deep-sea archaeology, seismic and volcanic prediction, oil monitoring and so on. This special issue tries to collect the recent advances on underwater sensors and underwater sensor networks to measure, monitor, surveillance and control underwater environments. Because of the environment nature, many features must be taken into account: the need of large number of nodes, limited energy of the nodes, short-distance radio communications, large propagation latency, low bandwidth capacity and high error rate. All these constraints make underwater sensors and underwater sensor networks a special case of the regular ones. Topics of interest of this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Sensor nodes to measure water parameters (salinity, conductivity, turbidity, pH, oxygen, temperature, depth, etc.) - Sediments and pollution sensor nodes - Acoustic sensors - Underwater sensor network architectures - Wired and wireless protocols for underwater sensor networks - Localization systems for underwater wireless sensor networks - Target tracking using underwater sensor networks - Optical, acoustic and electromagnetic communications for underwater sensor networks - Modems for underwater sensor networks - Study cases, implementations and real deployments of underwater sensor networks - Routing protocols specialized for underwater wireless sensor networks - Cooperation in underwater sensor networks - Modeling and simulation in underwater sensor networks - Data collection, storage, and retrieval by underwater sensor network Submission Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering at (http://www.mdpi.com/user/register/) and logging in to this website (http://www.mdpi.com/user/login/).

[ns] Call for Posters - GreenNets 2011
* The First ICST International Conference on Green Communications and Networking (GreenNets 2011) ¨Networks of the Future to Preserve Environment Colmar, France, 5th-7th Oct, 2011 http://greennets.org * Introduction 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 GreenNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse fields including green mobile networks, system architectures, networking communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreenNets. Scopes and Interests The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Communications and Networking: --- Communication techniques and protocols for GreenNets --- Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication --- Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications 2. Energy-efficient network architecture protocols: --- Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design --- MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks 3. 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 4. Energy-efficient management: --- Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management --- Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques --- Protocols for cooperative management and control == Submission Guidelines == Authors are invited to submit posters of up to 4 pages, in ACM Proceedings format (7x9 print area, single spaced, double column, 9-pt font size).

[ns] Deadline July 17 - IEEE Globecom Workshop: SCPA 2011
Apologies for crossposting -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline extended to July 17, 2011 Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2011) December 5-9, 2011, Huston, Texas (USA) In conjunction with Globecom 2011 http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/ 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) 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. We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications. Topics of interest: 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: Smart network protocols and algorithms for multimedia delivery Application layer, transport layer and network layer cognitive protocols Cognitive radio network protocols and algorithms Automatic protocols and algorithms for environment prediction.

[ns] Deadline Extension - CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic Issue on Communication Protocols and Algorithms for the Smart Grid
CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on Communication Protocols and Algorithms for the Smart Grid Electric power regulation and privatization is creating new challenges on high voltage transmission and energy distribution systems. The existing electrical infrastructures must be updated in order to meet the needs of the digital society. Smart Grid describes a next-generation electrical power system that creates an increased use of communications and information technology in generation, delivery and consumption of electrical energy. New communication protocols must be provided in order to improve the energy distribution, and to be more flexible, reliable, efficient and cost effective. They should be deployed in order to provide an accessible and secure connection to all network users, particularly for RES (Regenerative Energy Sources). The aim of this feature topic issue is to encourage the researchers to submit works related to communication protocols and algorithms for the modernization and optimization of the power grid. Their aim should be focused on enhancing the Smart Grid related technologies and power line automation schemes. These could support distributed information systems and provide intelligence in the electric system. Control communications algorithms could make extensive use of stochastic models and criteria for safety and reliability. Moreover, intelligent control communication protocols could utilize effectively the transmission capacity of the network and make efficient use of distributed energy resources in the system allowing efficient actions against failures. Scope of the issue The objective of this IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic issue is also to bring together the state-of-the-art research results and industrial applications of communication protocols and algorithms for Smart Grids. We target original survey and tutorial articles, including theoretical, analytical and implementation perspectives, previously not published and are not currently under review by another journal. There is special interest in application-oriented contributions dealing with practical system designs. The contributions for this feature topic issue should include, but not limited to, the following areas: - Cognitive protocols for Smart Grid - Wired and Wireless Sensor and actuator protocols for Smart Grid - Powerline communication protocols - Energy-efficient communication protocols for Smart Grid infrastructures - Smart Grid Specific Protocols (DNP3, ICCP,...) - Service-oriented protocols for Smart Grid - Transport layer protocols and algorithms for Smart Grid - Multicast and secure multicast for Smart Grid - Precision time synchronization protocols for Smart Grid - Quality of service, latency and reliability in Smart Grid - Security and privacy in Smart Grid - Intelligent status monitoring protocols in Smart Grid - Fault tolerance and disaster recovery protocols and algorithms in Smart Grid - Load balancing protocols in Smart Grid Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazines guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html. It is very important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Important Dates Manuscript Submission Due: August 1, 2011 (Extended) Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: March 1, 2012 Publication: May 2012 Guest Editors Jaime Lloret Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain jllo...@dcom.upv.es Pascal Lorenz University of Haute Alsace, France lor...@ieee.org Abbas Jamalipour University of Sydney, Australia a.jamalip...@ieee.org
