One central element of this trend is the existence of a massive network of interconnected wired/wireless physical objects/things/sensors/devices, which can interact in a rich set of manners through a worldwide communication and information infrastructure and provide value added services. The vision of such an Internet of Things (IoT) system, supported by industrial companies and governments globally, has the potential to mark an evolution that will surely have a great impact on our environments and our lives. Yet, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT also poses a number of challenges where security is among the top concerns. The globally interconnected physical objects inevitably result in a potentially enormous attack surface that can be easily exploited if without adequate protection. To enable strong security foundations for the ubiquitous IoT, plenty of factors need to be taken into account. Examples are data security, privacy, access control, information assurance, trust management, secure services interoperability, seamless integration, system heterogeneity, scalability, and mobility. This special issue solicits high-quality original research results about IoT that pertain to state-of-the-art security and privacy issues in various pervasive and ubiquitous scenarios. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of security for IoT.

The overall goal of the Pervasive Health Conference is to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community is addressing a broad scope of research topics and concerns: * identify and understand problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); * design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and * organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. The Pervasive Healthcare conference in Oldenburg aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. We welcome contributions from the following fields:Sensing Technologies and Pervasive Computing * Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions * Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) * Hardware and Software Infrastructures *We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to:* Pervasive Healthcare Management * Challenges surrounding data quality * Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare * Business cases and cost issues * Security and privacy issues * Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare * Legal and regulatory issues * Staffing and resource management Understanding Users * Identifying and addressing stakeholder needs * Usability and acceptability * Barriers to adoption, and enablers * Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion * Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services * Patient empowerment * Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements * Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations * Digital interventions and health behavior change Knowledge Representation and Reasoning * Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data * Activity recognition and fall detection * User modelling and personalization * Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environments * Sensor-based decision support systems * Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors * Wearable and implantable sensor integration * Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments * Data mining medical patient records * Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware * Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications * Autonomous systems to support independent living * Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies * Telemedicine * Chronic disease and health risk management applications * Health/Wellbeing promotion and disease prevention * Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring * Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients * Smart homes and hospitals * Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data * Wellbeing and lifestyle support * Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairments * Systems to support caregivers Important dates Workshops proposal deadline 2 December 2013 Paper submission due 16 December 2013 Acceptance notification 21 February 2014 Camera‐ready deadline 14 March 2014 Organizing committee *General Chair* Andreas Hein, University of Oldenburg *Program Chairs* Susanne Boll, University of Oldenburg Friedrich Köhler, Charité, Berlin *Short Papers and Posters Chairs* Katarzyna Wac, University of Geneva Young Seok Lee, Motorola *Medical Abstracts Chair* Stefan Wagner, Aarhus University *Workshop Chair* Lauren Wilcox, Columbia University *Demo Chair* Ernö Kovacs, NEC Labs Europe *Doctoral Colloquium Chair* Katie Siek, Indiana University Bloomington *Publication Chair* Heiko Müller, OFFIS Publicity and Web Chair Jochen Meyer, OFFIS Heiko Müller, OFFIS *Local Hosts* Jochen Meyer, OFFIS Albert Sill, University of Oldenburg Venue PervasiveHealth 2014 will be conducted in Oldenburg, a medium-sized city in northwestern Germany, in the middle between Hamburg (D) and Amsterdam (NL).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Infocom Workshop on Dynamic SOcial Networks (DySON) Datum: Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:03:37 -0700 Von: wkui <wkui(a)UVIC.CA> Antwort an: wkui <wkui(a)UVIC.CA> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers Workshop on Dynamic SOcial Networks (DySON) (Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2014) May 2, 2014 â Toronto, Canada http://www.netmode.ntua.gr/dyson2014/index.html Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance: February 07, 2014 Camera-ready due: February 28, 2014 Social wireless and mobile networks have gained considerable interest over the last five to ten years and have become in many cases the lion's share of wireless businesses. Such networks are now well known as the primal channels for communication between people, means for increasing marketing potentials, tools for enabling social research, and forums for affecting political trends, all of which eventually indicate a more than ever increasing penetration and exploitation of wireless and mobile networks in human lives. The proposed workshop (DySON) will mainly cover the technical aspects of the interplay between social and wireless mobile networks, and more specifically will focus on original contributions regarding topics, such as structure, behavior, and optimization of social and mobile wireless networks. DySON aspires to raise holistically the awareness of the research and industrial communities in the area of social wireless mobile networks from diverse and broad perspectives and provide a venue for the presentation and dissemination of the latest novel advances in the corresponding field of science. Emphasis will be placed on the interplay between social and mobile wireless networks, aiming at identifying commonalities and complementarities between them, with the final objective of highlighting approaches, properties and features that can be used in order to simultaneously improve their design and operation. Such interplay between social and mobile wireless networks has been lately addressed in the field of Complex Network Analysis (CNA), and DySON, aspires to receive and present the highest quality contributions regarding analysis, control and optimization from the perspective of CNA, thus achieving diversity of application domains (mobile/online social and wireless networks) and promoting the most interesting interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary analytical methodologies. The workshop will be centered both on formal methods, as well as on noteworthy technical contributions of more practical flavor. Concepts and knowledge from several fields need to be jointly considered to address the corresponding challenges, while opening new frontiers and opportunities in relevant research. CNA and utility maximization already applied in the field of complex networks and socio-aware information networks exhibiting the tight interplay between wireless and social networks, along with the design of communication protocols and respective algorithms are just few indicative examples. DySON aims for papers following the above approach and will be devoted to the presentation of the highest quality ones, thus contributing to creating critical mass in the corresponding literature and further steaming the locomotive of control and optimization in social and mobile wireless networks. The DySON workshop welcomes contributions that will be mainly involved, but not limited to the following list of topics: * Interplay between online social networks and wireless communications * Network Utility Maximization (NUM) for mobile social and wireless networks * Complex network structure analysis and optimization * Graph theoretic analysis for mobile complex (social and wireless) networks * Game theoretic and economic analysis * Structure of social networks and their influence to the design of advanced wireless networks * Primal-dual decomposition for complex network algorithms * Stochastic network optimization * Cross-layer network optimization * Topology Control for complex networks * Social relationship graphs of mobile devices * Adaptive algorithms for evolving online social and wireless networks * Resilience and fault-tolerant network optimization * Social-aware network solutions in wireless communications * Complexity and approximation of social/mobile network optimization and control techniques * Optimal content dissemination in complex networks * Mobile cyber-physical systems Workshop Co-Chairs Symeon Papavassiliou National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece papavass(a)mail.ntua.gr Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada ivan(a)site.uottawa.ca Technical Program Committee Co-Chairs My T.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Call for Papers] IEEE International Workshop on Self-Organizing Networks (SONETs) co-located with WCNC 2014 Datum: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:10:14 +0200 Von: Mourad Khanfouci <M.Khanfouci(a)FR.MERCE.MEE.COM> Antwort an: Mourad Khanfouci <M.Khanfouci(a)FR.MERCE.MEE.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *_SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 31 October 2013_* [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ====================================================================================================================================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *_IEEE International Workshop on Self-Organizing Networks (SONETs) <http://open-innovation.alcatel-lucent.com/www/sohnets/index.html>_* co-located with WCNC 2014, Istanbul, TURKEY Workshop date: 6 April 2014 The ever-increasing need for higher data rates in multimedia services and applications leads to stringent requirements on the bit rate/km2 that next-generation cellular wireless networks are expected to deliver. This increasing trend has urged mobile operators to examine new ways for improving their coverage and boosting their network capacities. A promising approach to this challenge is the dense deployment of short range and low power base stations in conjunction with the macrocellular network, as well as relays, distributed antennas and radio remote heads. However, the CAPital and OPerating EXpenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) of such heterogeneous networks increase with the increasing number of nodes. The solution to this problem is the deployment of Self-Organizing NETworks (SONETs). SONETs represent a novel paradigm based on the deployment of networks with self-organized functionalities. There are significant technical problems that need to be addressed for the successful deployment and operation of SONETs. In particular, time-, frequency- and spatial-domain interference management is a fundamental issue. To deal with increasing peak data demands, SONETs design should be self-organized based on interference/load/congestion levels, dynamically adapting their transmissions via smart traffic offloading strategies onto licensed/unlicensed bands. The IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS (*SONETs*) will offer an excellent opportunity for academic and industrial researchers for spreading and sharing the latest results and understandings for rendering wireless networks more efficient in terms of capacity, coverage, Quality-of-Service performance and energy consumption. Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal are solicited. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to the following: * Self-configuration/-optimization/-healing mechanisms for SONETs, * Energy-efficient algorithms and green wireless for SONETs, * Cognitive radio techniques for SONETs, * Game theoretical techniques and reinforcement learning for SONETs, * Trade-offs between macro-cell, femto-cell, pico-cell, relay and distributed antenna system deployments, * Mobility management in SONETs, * Backhaul-aware (wired, wireless, millimeter wave, etc.) * Radio Resource Management (RRM) for SONETs, * Intra-RAT (cell range expansion, e-ICIC) and Inter-RAT offloading (3GPP and WiFi interworking) in SONETs, * Device-to-Device (D2D) communications in SONETs, * Multi-point transmission techniques(CoMP, JT, DCS, massive/large MIMO) , Active Antenna Systems (AAS) in SONETs, * Carrier aggregation (single and multi-flow) in heterogeneous networks, * Coordinating self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing mechanisms in SONETs, * Policy-based management of self-configuration, self-optimization, and self-healing mechanisms in SONETs. SONETs 2014 will feature Prof. *Ismail Guvenc* (Florida International University, USA) and Dr. *Colin Willcock* (Nokia Solutions Networks, Germany) as keynote speakers. The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (minimum 10-point font) including figures, without incurring additional page charges. *IMPORTANT DATES* Paper Submission Deadline: *16 October 2013* Acceptance Notification: 8 January 2014 Camera Ready Copy: 26 January 2014 *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Electronic submission using the EDAS electronic submission system _https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=15847_ is required.
