A quick reminder about the upcoming ICC workshop paper registration deadline!
Please register your papers to the upcoming ICC 2013 Workshop on "Managing the Mobile Data Deluge", M2D2 (http://m2d2.atnog.org). The workshop will welcome papers on three core topics relating to managing the current mobile data deluge (namely: radio aspects, protocol innovation and over-the-top/service support). The workshop will be co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Communications, ICC 2013 (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), June 9-13 2013, in Budapest, Hungary. Deadlines are according to ICC policies: - Paper registration: January 4th - Paper submission: January 11th Please feel free to contact us in case of doubts. The CFP can be found below. Best Regards, Rui L Aguiar Prosper Chemouil Carlo Alberto Licciardi Kostas Pentikousis ================================================================== Managing the Mobile Data Deluge (M2D2) <http://m2d2.atnog.org/> ================================================================== Currently mobile cellular networks are witnessing the largest traffic explosion ever. The fast user adoption of powerful smartphones and data-hungry tablets, the increasing rate of deployment of broadband cellular networks worldwide, the multiplicity and diversity of localized network access available today (Wi-Fi, femto), the explosion of multimedia use in social networks, are all playing their role towards to a significant social change: People are now familiar with accessing data on the move, and this data is often of a multimedia nature. Furthermore, user traffic profiles are now changing: users are often prosumers, providing information (often real-time videos) to the Internet as well as consuming content from major providers. The public network is thus facing traffic pressures that are beyond what was originally technically envisaged and come asking for enhancements to support the new traffic patterns. But more often than not, the solutions deployed are mainly stopgaps. Optimum radio resource usage, including aspects such as selection of radio bands, exploitation of multicast bearers, opportunistic and relayed access, is a major concern for operators. Nevertheless, these radio resources can only provide adequate quality of experience if network and transport protocols are in place to provide the adequate network flexibility to exploit a diversity of communications opportunities. And, finally, the inherent challenges of providing multimedia services, with required low delays, across a multiplicity of radio layers, requires the deployment of novel service delivery concepts and platforms. Mobile video has its own challenges, as the diversity of user devices screens and of transmission technologies, require the usage of easily adaptable and flexible bitrates codecs - often with layers and resolution to be adaptable at real-time speeds. Many of these issues are now being actively developed in standardization bodies, such as IETF dsMIP, 3GPP IFOM! , WFA Hotsopt 2.0 or IEEE 802.1u, to name just a few. In this context, the workshop will welcome papers on three core topics relating to managing the mobile data deluge (namely, radio aspects, protocol innovation, over-the-top/service support) covering issues such as: * Radio Resource Management, especially for video applications and uplink scenarios * Opportunistic, Relay and P2P radio access * Integration of heterogeneous radio technologies for mobile video. * Mobile device-to-device video transport * Novel wireless/cellular network architectures * New mobility management paradigms adapted for high data mobile traffic (e.g., distributed mobility schemes, multicast mobility, flow-based mobility, hetnets, link-dependent video transcoding, etc.). * Impact of Mobile social Networking over mobile networks in terms of scalability and traffic efficiency/ * Cross-layer optimizations for mobile traffic * Service distribution architectures and platforms, including service execution movement * Video content distribution platforms for mobile video * Scalable video streaming techniques and codecs * Augmented Reality application over mobile networks * Data deluge-related standardization efforts (IEEE, IETF, ETSI and 3GPP). * Experimental and real-world work focusing on video distribution over mobile network Deadlines 4th of January 2013, registration of abstracts 11th of January 2013, paper submission deadline 22th of February 2013, notification deadline 8th of March, camera ready Workshop date: Week of ICC, 2013 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
