-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - Datum: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:14:13 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)SICS.SE> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)SICS.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2013 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2014. Notifications : March 7, 2014. Camera ready : March 15, 2014. Workshop : Apr 14, 2014, at 2pm.

Complex channel properties such as multipath, delay spread, and Doppler effects prevent even the most complex channel models from exactly characterizing repeatable in-situ behavior. Abstract models of devices and energy storage, as well as emerging paradigms such as energy harvesting enabled systems, make estimation of system performance and lifetime quite challenging unless supported by field experiments. To better understand the potential of novel paradigms and ideas, it is therefore imperative to evaluate these ideas in the field via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and devices, and by the varying and error-prone wireless channel. Even slight misunderstandings can cause drastic performance differences in various research avenues from cognitive spectral sensing to spatial reuse in large-scale network planning to lifetime and amount of tasks which can be performed by Internet-of-Things devices. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2014 is the tenth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements and experimentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production and research wireless networks * Measurement and characterization of wireless network traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cyber physical and sensing systems * Experimental validation of network simulators * Experimental driven mobile social network and mobility models * Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting * Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements, including novel measurement techniques * Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Methodologies for measuring and characterizing heterogeneous wireless networks * Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing, analyzing and sharing wireless measurement data * Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems, cyber physical and sensing systems, WLAN and VANET, cellular systems * Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility; estimation and prediction of energy availability * Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds * Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --------------------------- The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Things for Smart and Connected Health Datum: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 19:29:27 +0000 Von: Dalei Wu <daleiwu(a)MIT.EDU> Antwort an: Dalei Wu <daleiwu(a)MIT.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple postings. # CALL FOR PAPERS # IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Things for Smart and Connected Health A PDF version of this CFP can be downloaded at: <http://iot-journal.weebly.com/uploads/1/8/8/0/18809834/ieee_iot_journal_si_…> A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society # Scope of Special Issue # Smart and connected health (SCH) is the multidisciplinary technology to provide preventive or remote treatments by utilizing digital heath information structure such as body sensor networks and smart techniques such as from Data to Knowledge to Decisions. It will enable preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice by applying diverse Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sensors, computing, networking and communication, and can allow the individuals to participate in their own care. Future SCH will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual through replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring and assessment. The development of SCH will play a key role in the modern society to meet the broad goals of medical applications. However, significant challenges still remain in the area. For example, lack of medical baseline data for each particular individual. The IoT technology such as continuous sensing mobile communication can be employed to create individualized baselines. The theme of the special issue (SI) is especially focused on the two major aspects of IoT for SCH: (1) monitoring and assisting individuals utilizing smart systems including sensors, devices, and robotics, (2) an interoperable digital health information infrastructure to increase medical/health information availability and use. The outputs of SCH with IoT could significantly improve a person's outcomes and quality of life. Findings from the SI will provide support for enabling IoT to move the focus from disease to health and wellbeing at the individual, system, and organizational level in many SCH applications. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of IoT for SCH. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Digital Health Information Infrastructure for SCH * Healthcare Applications of Body Area Networks * Communication Protocols and Algorithms for SCH * Medical Sensors, Devices and Robotics * Privacy, Security and Trust of Medical Systems * Computer-Aided Diagnosis * Data To Knowledge To Decisions for SCH * Data Visualization and Intelligent Integration for Decision-Making * Mobile Social Sensing for Wireless Health * Bioimaging * Integrated Systems for Telemedicine * Clinical Practice and Technology Development * Cloud-Assisted Medical Cyber-Physical Systems * Body Area Networks for Sports Applications and Systems * Mobile Computing for Smart Health and Well Being * Nano-Scale Communications and Networking for SCH * Smart Health and Big Data * Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Robustness of Healthcare Systems # Important Dates # Submissions Deadline: May 15th, 2014 First Reviews Due: August 15th, 2014 Revision Due: September 15th, 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15th, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: November 30th, 2014 Publication Date: Jan 15th, 2015 # Submission # The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Security for IoT.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] CFP: The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart Cities (VTM 2014) Datum: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 08:59:15 +0000 Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)gmail.com> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Second International Workshop on Vehicular Traffic Management for Smart Cities (VTM 2014) (http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/VTM2014/VTM.html) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with The 2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2014-Spring), 18-21 May 2014, Seoul, Korea ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a plethora of challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the last decade, researchers from both industry and academia have focused their efforts on exploiting advances in sensing and communication technologies to make the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) more efficient. Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Vehicular traffic management • Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities • Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments • Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) • Data fusion and integration for traffic management systems (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.) • Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments • Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to traffic management systems in smart cities • Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation • Security and QoS issues for ITS applications • V2X feasibility over LTE networks • M2M communication for data collection in road environment • Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management • Deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas • Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management • Decision making tools for road traffic management • Electric vehicles All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the VTM2014 workshop and made available through IEEE Xplore.
