*Scope:*
The 8th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
(IEEE MASS 2011) is to be held in Valencia, Spain, on October 17-21, 2010.
Wireless ad-hoc communication has applications in a variety of environments,
such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields and disaster-recovery/rescue
operations, and is also being actively investigated as an alternative
paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless
sensor and actuator networks are also being deployed for enhancing
industrial control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of
environmental monitoring. The IEEE MASS 2011 aims at addressing advances in
research on multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging
from technology issues to applications and test-bed development. Please keep
checking this web-space for more information and regular updates about MASS
2011.

*Topics of interest:*

considering the expertise and experience of the workshop organizers and the
relevance of the topic to the central theme of the conference. Proposals of
at most 4 pages, including a 1-page biographical sketch, should be submitted
to the Workshops Chair by March 25, 2011.

*Demos:*
Real-world experimentation has proven to be an indispensable methodology to
evaluate mobile ad hoc and sensor systems. Furthermore, early prototyping is
an outstanding way to understand end user requirements and help adoption of
wireless ad hoc technologies by the mass market. With this brief background,
IEEE MASS solicits demonstrations of mobile ad hoc and sensor systems

IEEE Communications Magazine

Consumer Communications and Networking Series

Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both
creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer
distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends
that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store,
and access content =97 and is surely a much different view compared to
only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms
of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate
entities=85.indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today
who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue
streams because they haven=92t been brave enough to embrace this new
model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer
communications and networking series should address.

We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being
applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives
are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation
between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the
automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks
designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area
communications via satellite networks. Using these networking
capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality
being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and
conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur.

Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological
advances we see today is communications. Example communications
technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax,
Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space
optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body
area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking,
and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through
networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the
properties of self organisation and management. These networks will
become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content
distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever
we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many
networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a
platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay
these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and
appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved
over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by
networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer
the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity
to the end consumer.

With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers
that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it
finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the
following:

CALL FOR PAPERS 

IEEE Communications Magazine
Feature Topic Issue on Communication Protocols and Algorithms for the Smart Grid

Electric power regulation and privatization is creating new challenges on high voltage transmission and energy distribution systems. The existing electrical infrastructures must be updated in order to meet the needs of the digital society. Smart Grid describes a next-generation electrical power system that creates an increased use of communications and information technology in generation, delivery and consumption of electrical energy.
New communication protocols must be provided in order to improve the energy distribution, and to be more flexible, reliable, efficient and cost effective. They should be deployed in order to provide an accessible and secure connection to all network users, particularly for RES (Regenerative Energy Sources). 
The aim of this feature topic issue is to encourage the researchers to submit works related to communication protocols and algorithms for the modernization and optimization of the power grid. Their aim should be focused on enhancing the Smart Grid related technologies and power line automation schemes. These could support distributed information systems and provide intelligence in the electric system. Control communications algorithms could make extensive use of stochastic models and criteria for safety and reliability. Moreover, intelligent control communication protocols could utilize effectively the transmission capacity of the network and make efficient use of distributed energy resources in the system allowing efficient actions against failures.

Scope of the issue

The objective of this IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic issue is also to bring together the state-of-the-art research results and industrial applications of communication protocols and algorithms for Smart Grids. 
We target original survey and tutorial articles, including theoretical, analytical and implementation perspectives, previously not published and are not currently under review by another journal. There is special interest in application-oriented contributions dealing with practical system designs. 
The contributions for this feature topic issue should include, but not limited to, the following areas:

- Cognitive protocols for Smart Grid
- Wired and Wireless Sensor and actuator protocols for Smart Grid
- Powerline communication protocols
- Energy-efficient communication protocols for Smart Grid infrastructures
- Smart Grid Specific Protocols (DNP3, ICCP,...)
- Service-oriented protocols for Smart Grid
- Transport layer protocols and algorithms for Smart Grid
- Multicast and secure multicast for Smart Grid
- Precision time synchronization protocols for Smart Grid
- Quality of service, latency and reliability in Smart Grid
- Security and privacy in Smart Grid
- Intelligent status monitoring protocols in Smart Grid
- Fault tolerance and disaster recovery protocols and algorithms in Smart Grid
- Load balancing protocols in Smart Grid


Submission Guidelines

Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine’s guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html. It is very important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline.
