IEEE ICCC 2013 will be held in Xi’an, China, Aug. 12-14, 2013 (http://www.ieee-iccc.org/). In addition to technical sessions, the program will also include a set of workshops. The goal of the workshops is to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. Workshop papers are expected to focus on more specific research areas than those in the main conference. Proposals are welcome for workshops that will touch aspects of high interest with this flavor. Workshops will be full day or half-day, with 4 or 2 sessions of 1 1/2 hours each. The dates for paper submission, notification and final paper submission should be stated in the proposal; however, final papers must be due no later than May 1st, 2013. All workshop papers will appear in IEEE Xplore (and will be EI Indexed). All Web pages related to the accepted workshops will reside on the official IEEE ICCC 2013 Web site.
The workshop proposal, in plain text or PDF, should provide the following information:
1. Title, scope and topics of the workshop
2. Names, addresses, and affiliation of Workshop organizers
3. Tentative committee lists

For the future wireless network, there will be the coexistence of Heterogeneous Network, for example, Macrocell, Femtocell, Picocell, Ad-hoc, Cognitive Network. In order to use the resource efficiently, different networks may operate on the same frequency band, which also results in interference. Hence, interference management becomes critical for future wireless network, which attract intensive research. Recently, there has been a significant interest in the interference management of wireless network, as evident from several ongoing worldwide research programs, like NSFC in China, FP7 in Europe and so on. These programs are aiming at enhancing network capacity by the interference management techniques. The workshop seeks to identify key research challenges on topics with potential for significant impact on the interference management techniques of Wireless Networks. All workshop papers will appear in IEEE Xplore (and will be EI Indexed). All Web pages related to the accepted workshops will reside on the official IEEE ICCC 2013 Web site.
Potential topics are solicited to, but are not limited to, the following categories:
I. Interference Management,
II Heterogeneous Network,
III Network Capacity.

Aim of the Workshop
As more and more new mobile multimedia rich services are becoming available to larger audiences there is an ever increasing demand for higher data rate wireless access. Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a promising concept to improve user experiences and resource utilization in cellular networks, which enables two mobile devices in proximity of each other to establish a direct local link and to bypass the base station or access point. However, many research challenges still exist, such as how to share resources dynamically (e.g. spectrum and energy) between cellular communication and ad hoc D2D communication to accommodate larger volumes of traffic and to provide better service to users. Other challenges include: identification of services for which D2D communication is useful; radio resource allocation and resource management; self-organizing direct links; proximity-based offloading, and capacity evaluation and performance comparison.
The future D2D networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. The aim of the workshop is to bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, and consulting firms) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future device-to-device communication and networks. In this workshop, the advances of wireless communications that enable device-to-device communications arising from the adoption of new technologies will be discussed. D2D 2013 seeks papers dealing with architectural issues, theoretical studies, new paradigms, enabling technologies, practical implementations, and policy issues for device-to-device communication and networking problems. Besides the technical insights, the workshop will provide a supportive environment for technical discussions between like-minded researchers and engineers.

Workshop on Green Mobile Computing Networks
Scope and topics
As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts to develop new technologies for the green strategies addressing climate change globally and facilitating low greenhouse gas (GHG) development. Currently, the GHG emissions produced from the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry alone are equivalent to the GHG emissions of the entire aviation industry. Furthermore, with the increasing demand for higher data rates, the energy consumption for the ICT industry is increasing by 16-20% per year. Moreover, the energy costs for mobile operators can be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. In addition, the role of green communications and networking technologies includes not only the emission reduction and energy savings in communication products and services, but also enabling low GHG emissions in other industries, such as electric power smart grid.
On the other hand, there is phenomenal burst of research in mobile cloud computing, which extends cloud computing functions, services and results to the world of future mobile applications. Mobile applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Google AppEngine and Microsoft Azure are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. The availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the advances in virtualization and the emergence of LTE-A and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz create a new set of rich research problems.
The Workshop on "Green Mobile Computing Networks" provides a forum for discussions of all these most recent developments and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction with IEEE ICCC'2013 conference.
Topics: The Workshop invites submissions on the following topics (but not limited to):
- Trends and challenges of achieving low energy consumption and low GHG emission
- Energy efficiency and GHG emission metrics and measurements in mobile computing networks
- Communication networks for smart grids
- Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs
- Coordinated power and GHG emission control for network-wide optimization
- QoS provisioning and resource management in green mobile computing networks
- MAC, routing and transport protocols for green mobile computing networks
- Cross-layer optimization of green mobile computing networks
- End-to-end modeling and performance of green mobile computing networks
- Pricing and billing for green mobile computing devices and services
- Green 3G/4G/5G, wireless wide area infrastructures, short range networks, mesh topologies
- Security of green mobile computing networks
- Signal processing for green mobile computing networks
- Information theory for green mobile computing networks
