[Tccc] ***FINAL: 1 Week left for Submission to 1st International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Applications and Technologies (CPS-AT) ***
Dear researchers, There is only 1 week left until the final deadline for submissions to the 1st International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Applications and Technologies (CPS-AT), to be held in Melbourne, Australia on 26-28 September 2012. Proceedings of this workshop will be published on IEEExplore and selected papers will be invited to publish in The Journal of Intelligent Learning Systems and Applications (JILSA) or Journal of Internet Business (Australian ERA Ranked). Details are at: https://sites.google.com/site/cyberphysyst/ Call for Papers: -- The Internet primarily deals with movement of data (virtual objects) and sharing of knowledge, which is accessed by millions of users worldwide through a web browser. Progressively, research and Internet technologies have moved from read only web (Web 1.0) to read/write web (Web 2.0) and more recently towards intelligent web (semantic web or so called Web 3.0). The next stage of Internet development is moving away from data only web to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which allow direct manipulation of physical object through the Internet.The field of wireless sensor networks brought information about the physical world into the cyber world as sensors (which determine the state of real world objects) would monitor the physical environment and transmit the physical state information over a network to a database for further processing. While this was predominantly a one-way process, researchers have been developing new techniques for providing two-way interaction between the cyber world and physical world. The very recent development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provides a vision of interconnectedness between the physical world with the cyber world, allowing for robust and flexible systems with multi-scale dynamics and integrated wired and wireless networking for managing the flows of mass, energy, and information in a coherent way through integration of computing and communication capabilities with the monitoring and/or control of entities in the physical world in a dependable, safe, secure, efficient and real-time fashion. This workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems, Application and Technologies brings together innovative research in this emerging field, which was named the top research priority for tackling numerous scientific social and economic issues by the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. This workshop is ideally suited to be held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Networked-Based Information Systems (NBiS) as it builds upon and extend the work presented at NBiS. This workshop provides an international forum for researcher and participants to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges and present original ideas in all aspect of CPS, its applications and technologies. We do not welcome only research papers on CPS technology but also reports on innovative applications of CPS in all domains, particularly in the domains of health, transportation and energy distribution. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Architectures and theoretical foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems application design, implementation and evaluation - Sensor and actuator network protocols, models and architectures in Cyber-Physical Systems - Quality of Service (QoS), reliability, and safety in Cyber-Physical Systems - Robustness, Adaptation, Reconfiguration of Cyber Physical Systems - Security, Trust, Privacy, and Risk in Cyber Physical Systems - Verification, Testing and Certification of Cyber Physical Systems - Information and data processing in Cyber Physical Systems - Networking and communication for Cyber-Physical Systems - Distributed, self-organized, autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems as part of System of Systems - Situational awareness for assistive technologies using Cyber-Physical Systems - Real-world applications of Cyber-Physical systems Important Dates: Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012 (FINAL DEADLINE) Author Notification: May 25, 2012 Author Registration: June 22, 2012 Final Manuscript: June 22, 2012 Workshop Dates: September 26 - 28, 2012 I look forward to your submission and meeting you in Melbourne.

Please get you paper ready and submission them as guided in the web page. MobiCC 2012 Call for Paper http://network.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/mobicc/call.html Submission Data: 14 May 2012. In the past few years, mobile devices and wireless communication technologies have developed rapidly. With the explosion of mobile applications and user demands, some characteristics of mobile devices such as limited resources (e.g., computation and storage capacity, battery power, etc.) significantly impede the improvement of QoS. Mobile Cloud Computing (MobiCC) is born to tackle these limitations by integrating cloud computing into the mobile environment. It enables users to elastically utilize resources in an on-demand fashion, takes full advantages of cloud computing, and brings new types of services and facilities to users by providing ubiquitous service access. Several organizations have predicted that cloud computing will completely transform the way in which mobile applications and services are acquired, developed and used. However, there are still many obstacles for MobiCC, including service availability, mobility management, security, privacy, energy efficiency, etc. These problems must be carefully addressed before mobile could become the next big thing. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of mobile cloud computing, including but not limited to: New architecture of middleware and applications in mobile cloud computing Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud Measurement and modeling for mobile cloud computing Task or resource out-sourcing Transmission protocols and scheduling algorithms for mobile cloud computing Availability and reliability of mobile cloud services Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud Collaborative operations in mobile cloud computing Data sharing and collaboration Mobile multimedia content delivery with cloud computing Software structure for mobile cloud application Cloud-based mobile media system Mobile social network in cloud computing Location based services in mobile cloud environment Context-aware services and computing Energy-aware wireless communication technologies for mobile cloud computing Security and privacy protection in mobile cloud computing Novel mobile cloud computing applications and systems ___ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

[Tccc] IEEE Communications Magazine: Feature topic on Telecommunications Standards
Dear All First of all, apologies for cross posting. Here is a call for papers for a feature topic on telecommunications standards at the IEEE Communications Magazine. http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0313.htm Virtually all of the world's telecommunication systems have their roots in research. Academic research and findings have helped system designers to decide on the overall system architecture to the smallest details. Another aspect that the telecommunication systems have in common is the need to be well defined to guarantee interoperability between different devices. This is possible only through standardization bodies. As a result research and standards are clearly two vital components for the success of telecommunications. Interestingly, communication between academia which focuses mainly on research and industry whose main interest is standardization is below a desirable level. Since research has so much to offer and standards are the basic requirement for large scale deployment, the natural question is how to bridge the gap between research and standards. Research and standardization activities are different in many respects. Research typically is more forward looking and often does not necessarily confine itself to problems such as deployment obstacles, security considerations, manageability and other issues that are of primary concern to people involved in standardization. Standards professionals typically are cognizant of deployment and product issues and therefore more practical in their approach. Often they are skeptical when confronted with research work and reluctant to take on even the more short-term and practical research findings. They are typically concerned about whether the research has been adequately verified to work with the desired reliability outside a laboratory environment in a large-scale network. It seems that there is a gap between what the researchers consider the output of their work and what the standards professionals consider to be the input to their work. For that reason these two domains are often at odds and mutually complain about the inability to see each other's point of view. As a part of a global telecommunication community, it is important that researchers and standardization experts work hand in hand. Researchers need to understand the real-world limitations that standardization experts are bound to in order to compromise enough so that their research work can make it into standards. On the other hand, standardization experts need to become more open towards research work and attempt to distill applicable research output from larger, more forward-looking research projects. This special issue is therefore dedicated to research work which is already included in standards and shows how it is achieved; current research work focused to become part of a new standard or enhance an existing one, and works done to make adoption by the relevant standards body likely. The overarching aim is to document procedures, practices, compromises and tactics that bring researchers and standards professionals closer together. Collaboration is often difficult and documenting successful cases where research results became the foundation of standards will benefit both, researchers and standards professionals to more successfully collaborate in the future. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following standardization bodies: ITU-T IEEE IETF 3GPP TISPAN ETSI OMA Broadband Forum Prospective authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine manuscript format described in the information for authors.
