I joined counter social as did a number of local city politics people when it was first announced earlier this year that Musk was going to buy Twitter. https://counter.social I also joined a Mastodon instance during the IR2022 in Dublin but was using Twitter as I normally would at the conference. It seemed from Dublin I saw different servers than I did back in Canada.

Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution, or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of Things (IoT) context. Appropriate resource management, application design, and architectural networking paradigms are necessary to provide users with high quality experience in multimedia communication and services. Edge computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected devices and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications. At the same time, the interoperability among IoT environments (including wearable computing and sensors), the network edge, and the cloud are evolving towards an fog-edge-cloud continuum that is expected to support a wide range of application domains and services in a more smooth and efficient manner. In this context, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, and understanding the behavior of such complex systems is of paramount importance. IEEE WoWMoM 2023 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments.

communication +1 Volume 9, Issue 2 out now
by Peter Royal 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

On behalf of Zachary McDowell, Briankle Chang, and myself, I am pleased to announce the publication of Issue 2 of communication +1's 10th Anniversary. We thank the authors for their excellent contributions to the two issues in this volume, which marks a decade of communication +1, and we are excited to share these pieces. Please find below a description of the new issue (as well as the previous issue companion). communication +1's 10-year anniversary: A Decade of Futures (of Communication) Edited by Zachary McDowell and Peter Royal What we proposed for this collection was to return again to explore the boundaries and the future of communication as an area of study and as an interdisciplinary and intersectional space of inquiry. communication +1's first issue, Futures of Communication <https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol1/iss1/> (2012), did just that by addressing a wide variety of topics. The objective to address the "futures" of communication as a field of inquiry was and is not to identify research topics that may be popular or fashionable; rather, it is in the (re)establishment of "communication" as an enduring theoretical concept that cuts across the humanities and social sciences. The future of "communication" therefore designates its significance guaranteed by its interdisciplinary promise (but also arrives with its own concerns). What we offer here is a continuation of the belief that the question of “futures” is not a one-time endeavor, but instead a question that needs to be returned to time and time again, particularly in this age of changing media landscapes and new interdisciplinary discourse. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol9/iss2/ <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscholarwo…> Issue 2 <https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol9/iss2/> (Out now) Briankle Chang - No Thing is not a Medium Greg Wise - Communication + Surveillance Lawrence Grossberg - Stories in Unlivable Times Cindy Tekobbe - Indigenous Communication Sean Johnson Andrews - What is hegemony now? Transformations in media, political economy, and cultural studies Florence Chee - Communication as Conscience Jeremy Hunsinger - Communication as Play Li Cornfeld - Demo at the End of the World: The Limits of Techno-futurist Performance Steve Jones - Communication Technology and the Suspension of Disbelief Issue 1 <https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol9/iss1/> (Released October 2022) Zachary J. McDowell and Peter Royal - Introduction: Futures Florian Sprenger - Communication and one Zizi Papacharissi - Soft disciplines Amit Pinchevski and Johannes Bennke - Media, Mediation, Mediality John Durham Peters - What is Not a Medium? Patricia Pisters - Combustive Knowledge: Fire as Medium and Interface Peter Krapp - Secret Communication Andrea Guzman - Moving Human-Machine Communication Forward Through the Study of Non-Use and Failure David Gunkel - In the Face of the Robot Christina Vagt - Impossible Possible Machines Jonathan Sterne - Is Machine Listening Listening? About the Journal The aim of communication +1 is to promote new approaches to and open new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, communication +1 sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to create a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these experiments. communication +1 is an open access journal supported by University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication communicationplusone.org <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunicat…>.
