CALL FOR PAPERS
****************************************************************************
CLEEN 2013
First International Workshop on Cloud Technologies and
Energy Efficiency in Mobile Communication Networks
In conjunction with VTC 2013-Fall, 2-5 September 2013, Las Vegas, USA
****************************************************************************
This workshop is a joint initiative organized by three ICT projects
funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme
(FP7), and it covers common aspects of interest in order meet the need
to study new technological trends in mobile communications. In
particular, the collaborating projects are: iJOIN
(http://www.ict-ijoin.eu), TROPIC (http://www.ict-tropic.eu) and Mobile
Cloud Networking (http://www.mobile-cloud-networking.eu).
This workshop explores novel concepts to allow for flexibly centralised
radio access networks using cloud-processing based on open IT platforms,
to allow for a high quality of experience for mobile access to
cloud-processing resources and services, and to allow a future network
evolution focused on energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In fact,
all future innovative network solutions will be conceived and deployed
with a long term perspective of sustainability, both in terms of energy
consumption of mobile network (and related interoperability with
terminals) and cost efficiency of the different deployment and
management options. This requires new concepts for the design,
operation, and optimization of radio access networks, backhaul networks,
operation and management algorithms, and architectural elements, tightly
integrating mobile networks and cloud-processing. This workshop will
cover technologies across PHY, MAC, and network layer, it covers
technologies which translate the cloud-paradigm to the radio access and
backhaul network, and analyse all the network evolutions from the energy
efficiency perspective. It will study the requirements, constraints, and
implications for mobile communication networks, and also potential
relationship with the offered service, both, from an academic and
industrial point of view.
We solicit original, unpublished submissions in the following areas:
* Centralized / decentralized PHY and MAC processing.
* Flexible assignment of functionality in mobile networks.
* Joint operation and optimization of radio access and backhaul
networks for cloud-based mobile networks.
* Integration of cloud-services into green heterogeneous wireless
networks.
* Management of cloud-based/cloud-operated heterogeneous networks
providing access to cloud-services.
* Energy efficiency vs. QoS vs. cost-efficiency trade-offs.
* Architectural evolution of mobile networks.
* Cost effective deployment strategies for evolved heterogeneous
wireless network.
* Service and energy management aspects of cloud-based mobile
networks.
* Storage and computation capability of small cells.
* Resource allocation techniques; interference analysis, avoidance,
and mitigation for heterogeneous networks.
* Testbeds and performance evaluation for cloud-based mobile
communication networks.
Some Important dates:
* Submission Deadline: June 7, 2013
* Decision Notification: June 10, 2013
* Camera-ready: June 12, 2013
Submission Guidelines:
Papers need to be uploaded to the TrackChair page:
