The goal of the ICCCN2011 Tutorials is to offer the conference attendees and local participants informative tutorials on topics related to ICCCN. The tutorials are to be presented by subject matter experts and will reflect the high academic and research standards of the ICCCN2011 conference. Tutorial proposals are requested for half-day tutorials on topics with direct relevance to networking, services, and performance evaluation. Topics of interest include: " Vehicular Infrastructure Networks " Networking Algorithms and Performance Evaluation " Vehicular Adhoc Networks " Future Internet Architectures and Protocols " 3G, 4G and Beyond " Advances in Multimedia Services for 4G Networks " Wireless Sensor Networks " Communications and Information Theory " Multimedia Networking " Cross-Layer Design and Optimization " Network Security " Networking in Health Care Applications " Cognitive Radio Networks " M2M Communications and Networking " Internet Services and Applications " Pervasive Computing & Mobile Networking " Smart-Grid Networks " Green and Sustainable Networking " Seamless Mobility " Heterogeneous Communication Networks " Broadband Access Networks " Cooperative Communication " P2P Wireless Networking " Emerging Wireless Wide Area Networks " Wireless Cloud Computing " Optical communications. SUBMISSION DETAILS All tutorial proposals must include: " Tutorial title " Presenter contact information " Scope of tutorial " Learning objectives " Target audience " Prerequisite knowledge " 1 to 2 page description of the tutorial " Materials to be provided to attendees " List of previous offerings of the tutorial " Presenter biography. SUBMISSION Tutorial proposals should be submitted by November 15, 2010 and notifications will be sent out by December 1, 2010. Please submit your tutorial proposal to the tutorials program co-chairs: Dr. Dilip Krishnaswamy (dilipk@qualcomm.com) and Prof. Andres Kwasinski (axkeec@rit.edu). IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Proposal submission due: Nov 15, 2010 Proposal notification due: Dec 1, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS Quality workshops are to be held in conjunction with ICCCN. The workshops aim to explore special topics and provide international forums for scientists, engineers, and computer users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results on hot and broad topics on computer communications and networks. Workshops for presenting papers from industrial companies and papers on design and implementations of systems and services are welcome. ICCCN is a premier international conference in the field and running a workshop in association with it is of high visibility. The proceedings of the workshops program will be published, as the ICCCN 2011 main conference. The topics we are soliciting include, but are NOT limited to: · Mobile Cloud Computing and Services · Green communications and Networking · Embedded and Real-time Networking Systems · Cognitive Networking and Communications · Next Generation Broadband Wireless Access Networks · Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures · Networking of Mobile Handheld Devices, Social Networking · RFID and Internet of Things · Smart Grids · Security and Privacy in communications and networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION One workshop may take one day with 12 or more accepted and registered papers. Please send a workshop proposal by Nov 15, 2010, to Prof. Liqiang Zhang and cc to: Prof. Waltenegus Dargie E-mail: liqzhang@iusb.edu Email: waltenegus.dargie@tu-dresden.de Please note that the proposals will be reviewed once received and we will try to make the decision and send the notification back as soon as possible. So submitting a proposal early has the advantage. Particularly, early-bird proposals (by Oct. 15th) are encouraged and will be given higher priority.
