The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart
Cities (VTM 2014) (http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/VTM2014/VTM.html)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be held in conjunction with The 2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology
Conference (VTC2014-Spring), 18-21 May 2014, Seoul, Korea
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a
plethora of
challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic
congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the
last
decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their
efforts
on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make
the
existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient.
Their main goal is to improve the traveler?s safety, shorten the travel
time
and reduce the environmental impact.

Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual
traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.)
and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in
order
to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide
accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers
and
authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide
faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic
privileges to emergency vehicles.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers
from various research communities, as well as practitioners and
administrators
who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all
welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas,
simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop.

Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Vehicular traffic management
? Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols
for smart cities
? Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments
? Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues)
? Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems
(techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.)

The Chair for Information Security and Cryptography at
University of Trier, Germany, offers

a full-time position for a postdoctoral researcher

in a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The goal
of the project is to develop methods for the modular analysis of
real-world cryptographic protocols, such as TLS, SSH, WPA2, etc.,
based on the approach of universal composability, and to apply the
developed methods to such protocols.

We offer a creative international environment and the possibility to
participate in internationally leading research.

The position is available immediately, with an internationally
competitive salary. The starting date is negotiable. Contracts can
initially be offered for up to three years, with the perspective of an

Call for papers
Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algori!
thms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN.

* Modeling and simulation of WSAN
* WSAN architectural and operational models
* Optimal control of networked robots
* Robot advanced motion control by WSAN
* Modeling and control of flying robots

*****************************************************

Overview:

With the growing ubiquity of mobile communication devices in our daily lives, mobile computing is emerging as an important new field in computer science. This increasing interaction between mobility, communication and computing has generated a number of challenging algorithmic issues in diverse areas, including coverage, mobility, routing, cooperation, capacity planning, scheduling, and power control.

The Foundations of Mobile Computing (FOMC) workshop is dedicated to these issues. It covers contributions both in the design and analysis of discrete/distributed algorithms, and in the system modeling of mobile, wireless and similarly dynamic networks. It aims to bring together the practitioners and theoreticians of the field to foster cooperation between research in mobile computing and algorithms.

Details:

FOMC 2014 will be held on August 11, 2014 in Philadelphia, PA, USA, and will be co-located with the 15th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc 2014). Previous workshops (under the name DIALM-POMC through 2010) have been co-located with the Annual Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC), the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MOBICOM), and the International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC).

Submissions can be submitted to one of two tracks:

1. The regular paper track solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review.

2. The position paper track solicits descriptions of creative and compelling new research directions concerning the convergence of discrete/distributed algorithms and mobile computing.

Topics:

FOMC covers all areas related to mobile and wireless computing and communications where discrete algorithms and methods are used. Specific topics include, but are not limited to the following:

? Models of mobility and dynamic networks, and algorithmic aspects of mobility, including:

? autonomous agents, dynamic graph algorithms

? local algorithms

? distributed optimization

? Game-theoretic and economic aspects of mobility:

? incentives and cooperation

? Cryptographic and combinatorial methods for mobility

? Gossiping and information diffusion

? Communication protocols, including routing, multicast and broadcast

? Scheduling and network capacity

? Data link protocols:

? MAC

? Channel allocation

? Cognitive Radio networks

? Topology discovery, localization and clock synchronization

? Location- and context-aware distributed applications, sensor networks

? Emerging networks, including delay-tolerant networks, mobile social applications, vehicular networks

? Fault tolerance and security

? Energy saving methods and protocols

SUBMISSIONS

Authors must submit their papers electronically, following the guidelines available on the FOMC web page. Submissions should use letter-size paper with at least 11-point font and 1-inch margins, and no longer than 10 pages for the regular paper track, and no longer than 6 pages for the position paper track. The page restrictions do not include figures, tables, and references. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee

PUBLICATION

The Proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
