Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Mobile Crowd Sensing Special Issue, IEEE Comm. Mag.
by Lars Wolf 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Emiliano Miluzzo <miluzzo(a)RESEARCH.ATT.COM> Gesendet: Fri Nov 29 16:17:09 MEZ 2013 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension: Mobile Crowd Sensing Special Issue, IEEE Comm. Mag. *** C a l l f o r P a p e r s *** IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) NEW DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2013 http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0814.html Introduction Successful city management relies on urban dynamics and social event monitoring to provide essential information for decision making. In traditional sensing techniques such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), distributed sensors are leveraged to acquire real world conditions. However, static sensing is affected by several conditions, such as insufficient node coverage, high installation/maintenance cost, and lack of scalability. Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) presents a new sensing paradigm based on the power of various mobile devices/objects (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, sensor-equipped vehicles, etc.). The sheer number of mobile device users and their inherent mobility enables a new and fast-growing sensing paradigm: the ability to acquire local knowledge through sensor-enhanced mobile devices ®C e.g., location, personal and surrounding context, noise level, traffic conditions, and in the future more specialized information such as pollution ®C and the possibility to share this knowledge within the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers such as municipalities for example. The information collected by the mobile devices on the ground combined with the support of the cloud where data fusion takes place, make mobile sensing a versatile platform that can often replace static sensing infrastructures, and enabling a broad range of applications from urban dynamic mining, public safety, environment monitoring, just to name a few. Numerous and unique research challenges arise from the mobile crowd sensing paradigm ranging from participatory and opportunistic data collection, proper incentive mechanisms, transient network communication, and big data processing. By having human participation in the loop, several other issues regarding to the privacy and security of data (e.g., sensitive information such as human voice, location may be revealed), quality/trust of the data contributed (e.g., there might be fake or malicious nodes involved) should also be addressed. This feature topic issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this feature topic on Mobile Crowd Sensing is threefold: -to promote unprecedented approaches and techniques in participatory and opportunistic data collection, communication, analysis, and visualization; -to identify open issues which remain a challenge towards the convergence of information and communication technologies, privacy protection methods, social and psychological theories in MCS; -to exploit novel application areas and demonstrate the benefits of MCS in contrast with more traditional static sensing approaches. Topics may include (but are not limited to): - Architecture/Framework Design - Participatory Data Collection (node selection, data sampling, scheduling sensing) - Opportunistic Sensing and Communication - Sensor Performance and Types for MCS - Incentive Mechanisms for MCS - Communication in Weak/Transient Networking Environments - Big Data Processing and Urban/Social Mining - Privacy, Security, and Trust Issues in MCS - Social and Psychological Issues in MCS - Energy Efficiency in MCS - Emerging/Novel Application Areas of MCS - Performance Evaluation of MCS Submissions Papers must be tailored to the problems of mobile crowd sensing and explicitly consider above issues. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines).

ICTs has been rapidly adopted by tourist businesses and authorities in a bid to gaining advantage over competitors. e-Tourism emerged as a promising revision of the previous business models and initiatives related to tourism, with the advent of web technologies. ‘Mobile tourism’ extended the notion of e-Tourism to meet the vision of tourist services provision to nomadic users with no spatial–temporal restrictions. The recent developments in mobile hardware and software allowed for the provision of a new range of personalized, context-aware services that were not previously feasible. Further on, improvements in the area of mobile communications and networking have increased the availability of wireless bandwidth thereby providing new possibilities for exchanging and sharing data among tourists. Smartphones, mobile and wearable sensors, and other portable systems are commonly used to collect and exchange data as well as to infer personal, social and environmental context. Along this line, pervasive technologies open profound opportunities for the tourism industry and have the potential to revolutionize the tourist experience, delivering added-value services to tourists 'on the move'. However, before such applications can be widely deployed and used, several fundamental technical, social and business challenges need to be addressed. The proposed SI aims at publishing outstanding articles describing innovative applications and frameworks that enable the use of mobile and pervasive technologies in tourism and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising area of research. We invite research papers as well as papers which address challenges in developing industrial-strength mobile and pervasive applications. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: § Novel context-aware applications in mobile/pervasive tourism § Context reasoning and modeling in mobile/pervasive tourism § Recommender systems in mobile/pervasive tourism § Augmented and mixed reality applications in mobile tourism § Pervasive games in tourism § Novel edutainment applications in mobile/pervasive tourism § Novel indoors mobile/pervasive tourist applications § RFID/NFC-based mobile tourism applications § Travel navigation and assistance applications § Participatory sensing applications in tourism § Crowd sourcing in mobile tourism § Information sharing and social interaction in pervasive tourism § User-generated content in mobile tourism § Efficient algorithmic solutions in support of computationally-intensive mobile tourist applications § Interactive surfaces and walls in support of tourist applications § HCI issues and interaction models in mobile/pervasive tourist applications § (Innovative) applications requirements, performance, and benchmarking § Field trials, user acceptance and evaluation studies § Security, privacy, fault-tolerance and resiliency in mobile and pervasive tourism Important Dates: Paper submission: 15 Jan 2014 1st round notification: 15 April 2014 Expected publication: Last Quarter 2014 Guest Editors: Damianos Gavalas University of the Aegean, Greece Email: dgavalas(a)aegean.gr<mailto:dgavalas@aegean.gr> Maha El Choubassi American University of Beirut, Lebanon me87(a)aub.edu.lb<mailto:me87@aub.edu.lb> Ángel García Crespo Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain acrespo(a)ia.uc3m.es<mailto:acrespo@ia.uc3m.es> Paolo Bellavista Università di Bologna, Italy Email: paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it<mailto:paolo.bellavista@unibo.it> Submission Guidelines: All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

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.
