IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology
Special Section: Graph Theory and Its Application in Vehicular Networking
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last two decades have witnessed unprecedented growth in
telecommunications, particularly in the area of wireless
communications. This development in telecommunications opens doors to
many sophisticated complex systems, e.g. social networks, smart grids,
vehicular networks and sensor networks, that previously were not
feasible.  Graph theory is among the most widely used tools for
modeling and analyzing the many types of interactions, relations and
dynamics in these systems. Many problems of practical interest can be
represented by graphs.

The use of graph theory in vehicular networks, or more broadly highly
dynamic networks, is of particular interest. The complex interactions
among vehicles, between vehicles and road-side infrastructure,
combined with the high mobility of vehicles and fast changing
topology, present some unique challenges in network modeling and
performance analysis, network design, resource management and
communication protocol design.

This special section aims to provide recent advances in graph theory
that are applicable to highly dynamic networks, particularly vehicular
networks, identify challenges in the area and present possible
solutions, and furthermore to unveil the significant potential of
graph theory in the domain of vehicular networks. Topics of interest
for this special section include, but are not limited to:
* Vehicular network modeling and performance analysis;
* Network architecture design;
* Vehicular technologies for vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-infrastructure networking & services;
* End-to-end service delivery architectures, algorithms, protocols and
scalability;
* Cooperative communications;
* Quality of service;
* Resource management;
* Robust network and communication protocol design;
* Interference characterization and management;
* Localization techniques;
* Road traffic management.

Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission
procedure which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page
http://transactions.vtsociety.org under Information for Authors.

CFP: e-Energy 2012

                          CALL FOR PAPERS

                           e-Energy 2012

                 Third International Conference on

                       Future Energy Systems:

           Where Energy, Computing and Communication Meet

                  May 9-11, 2012 -- Madrid, Spain

              http://e-energy2012.networks.imdea.org/

                  in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM

------------------------------------------------------------------------

e-Energy is the conference on future energy systems, where energy,

computing and communication meet. The first e-Energy conference was

held in April 2010, in Passau (Germany), and the second took place

in May/June 2011 at Columbia University, in New York City (USA).

e-Energy 2012 invites submission of two categories of paper: full

papers and discussion papers. Full papers should be no longer than 10

pages and discussion papers should be no longer than 4 pages. All

papers must present original theoretical and/or experimental research

that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is

not currently under review by another conference or journal.

Submissions must be in PDF-format using the double-column ACM format

given at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Further submission information can be accessed via

http://events.networks.imdea.org/content/e-energy-2012/paper-submission

Proceedings will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library.

Full papers should include a detailed description of research either

in progress or completed. A discussion paper describes innovative and

novel ideas that have not yet been fully explored, but have the

potential to influence the research community. A discussion paper

could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach,

re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a

deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially

encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven

ideas.

[ACM MobiOpp'12] Call For Papers

                   ACM MobiOpp 2012
        Third International Workshop on
          Mobile Opportunistic Networks

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/mobiopp2012/
          sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
  Technically co-sponsored by the IFIP TC6 WG 6.3

                March 15-16, 2012
            ETH Zürich, Switzerland

After the successful ACM MobiOpp 2007 and ACM MobiOpp 2010, the
organizing committee is excited to invite you to take part in the
Third International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networks that
will be held March 15-16th, 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland at ETH.

Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication
paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks
are commonly defined as a type of networks where communication is
challenged by sporadic and intermittent contacts as well as frequent
disconnections and reconnections, and where the assumption of the
existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination
is relinquished. The aim of MobiOpp 2012 is to provide a high profile,
leading edge forum for researchers and engineers to present their
latest research in the field of mobile opportunistic networking. In
particular, MobiOpp 2012 strongly encourages submissions of
experimental work.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Opportunistic, Delay-tolerant and Hybrid Networks
- Mobile Urban Sensing and Crowdsensing
- Novel Architectures, Middleware, Prototypes and Testbeds
- Routing, Dissemination and Caching in Opportunistic Networks
- Analysis of Opportunistic Protocols
- Security, Trust, Privacy and Cooperation in Opportunistic Networks
- Social-aware Opportunistic Networking
- Anti-censorship/surveillance opportunistic communications
- Opportunistic Applications (e.g., opportunistic social networking,
disaster and emergency situations, healthcare, communication
 in remote regions)
- Mobility models for opportunistic networks

Submitted papers should be novel and should not be currently under
review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form. We accept paper
submissions of **8 pages** and demo and poster abstracts of 2 pages at
http://edas.info/N11119
. Further formatting requirements are available on the website. The
workshop proceedings will be published by ACM.

MobiOpp 2012 is also featured on social networks. Follow us and get
updates at:

Note that ACM MobiOpp'12 will be preceded by ExtremeCom'12 – The
Alpine Expedition (http://extremecom.org/2012/) organized in the Swiss
Alps, March 10-14, 2012.

Important Dates:
* Submission (Hard Deadline): November 18, 2011

Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal: Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications

======================== CALL FOR PAPERS =========================

           Elsevier - Pervasive and  Mobile Computing

         Special Issue on Pervasive Urban Applications

==================================================================

Over the past decade, the development of digital networks and
operations has produced an unprecedented wealth of information.
Handheld electronics, location devices, telecommunications networks,
and a wide assortment of tags and sensors are constantly producing a
rich stream of data reflecting various aspects of urban life. For
urban planners and designers, these accumulations of digital traces
are valuable sources of data in capturing the pulse of the city in an
astonishing degree of temporal and spatial detail. Yet this condition
of the hybrid city - which operates simultaneously in the digital and
physical realms - also poses difficult questions about privacy, scale,
and design, among many others. These questions must be addressed as we
move toward achieving an augmented, fine-grained understanding of how
the city functions - socially, economically and yes, even
psychologically.
This special issue aims to advance understanding of research
challenges and opportunities in applying the pervasive computing
paradigm to urban spaces. We are seeking multi-disciplinary
contributions that reveal interesting aspects about urban life and
exploit the digital traces to create novel urban applications that
benefit citizens, urban planners, and policy makers.
In this special issue, we are seeking high quality papers reporting
original research results on Pervasive Urban Applications with a
preference for works including evaluation studies based on empirical
data of actual urban environments. Relevant topics include (but are
not limited to):

- Pervasive computing applications for urban planning and design
- Mining of data collected from urban networks e.g. transportation,
energy
- Urban mobility and geo-localization
- Multi-source urban information integration
- Real-time urban information processing
- Knowledge representation and reasoning on city data
- Case studies and applications of mixed urban sensing and mining
- Analysis of social networks in urban space
- Middleware for mobile urban computing
- Context-aware systems for urban space
- Pervasive urban applications for smart cities
- Intelligent urban transportation systems
- Empirical evaluation of pervasive urban applications
- Wireless sensor networks, and social network sensing for pervasive
urban applications
- Security, privacy, reputation, and trust issues in urban computing
- Impact of pervasive technologies in urban space e.g. social,
economical, and psychological.

Submission process:

All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as
published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.
Authors should select SI: Pervasive Urban Applications, from the
pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must
not have been previously published or be under consideration for
publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that
appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what
appeared previously (at least 33% new material). Authors are requested
to submit their relevant, previously published articles and a summary
document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2011
Final Notification: May 15, 2012
