*Call for Papers *
------------------------------------


The First International Workshop on Advanced Communication Technologies and
Applications to Intelligent transportation systems, Cognitive radios and
Sensor networks 2012 (ACTICS-2012) will be held in in conjunction with
International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in
Ubiquitous Computing (IMIS) 2012, July 4-th to July 6-th, 2012, Sanpaolo
Palace Hotel, Palermo, Italy.

Wired and wireless technologies and applications have become popular in
recent years and have received wide deployments in all areas of our life.
Recent advancement are dramatically increasing in the areas of vehicular
communications for intelligent transportation systems, cognitive radio
network (CRN) for dynamic and efficient spectrum sharing, and sensor
networks for sensing and monitoring applications.

Vehicular communications for intelligent transportation system are expected
to implement variety of wired and wireless technologies to provide safety
as well as comfort for passengers and to make more efficient roads in the
future by providing timely information to drivers and concerned authorities.

Advancement in CRN will allow unlicensed users to co-exist and use licensed
spectrum seamlessly without interfering licensed users thus relieving the
congestion in unlicensed spectrum and using the licensed spectrum
effectively.

Sensors and sensor network's potential usage is diverse but the main focus
is in areas such as security, health, energy, food safety, environment
monitoring and improving quality of all areas of life.
The purpose of ACTICS is to serve as a forum for researchers from academia,
industries, professionals, standard developers, students and practitioners
to exchange ideas, present new research results and explore new research
directions in advanced communication technologies and their applications.

Topics of interest include but not limited to:

    Network architectures and protocols
    Mobility management and topology control
    Performance modeling and analysis
    Medium access control and routing protocols
    Information aggregation and dissemination
    CR enhanced Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R)
communications,
    Challenges of V2V and V2R wireless communications
    Trust, security and privacy issues
    Encryption algorithm in sensor networks
    Applications, case studies, and real-world test beds
    Heterogeneous networking
    Power aware and energy efficient design
    Remote sensing and monitoring (health care, space structure,
environments, hazards etc.)
    Complexity analysis, self-organization/configuration, distributed
co-ordination etc.
    Application of software defined radiin advanced communication systems
    Cross-layer designs and architectures
    Self-organizing networks and autonomic communications
    Ultra-wideband for spectrum sharing
    Beam-forming and MIMO for interference avoidance in the CR context
    Biological-inspired networking
    Adaptive wireless communication systems
    Spectrum sensing techniques, spectrum efficiency and soft spectrum usage
    Parameter estimation for adaptation of wireless communication systems
    Femto-cells and Cognitive Radios Networks
    Spectrum, network, context, environment, location awareness
    New applications in TV-band white space
    Interference mitigation and awareness
    Spectrum-management regulation and policy making
    Game theory based protocols and algorithms
    Standardization, such as IEEE 802.22, 802.19, 802.11n, 802.11p, etc
