-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:12:25 +0200 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Submission Deadline: November 26, 2014 March 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serve as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP Deadline Extended to November 1, 2014: IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT". Datum: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 02:49:03 -0400 Von: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------- -IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issues on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT -Submission deadline extended to November 1, 2014 AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------------- The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (smartphones, wearable devices, smart vehicles) have been playing an increasing important role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), which bridge the digital space and physical world at a societal scale. Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than static sensor networks. This promotes the emergence of a fast-growing consumer-centric sensing paradigm, the Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). As an evolution of participatory sensing, MCS has two unique features: (1) it involves both implicit and explicit participation; (2) MCS collects data from two user-participant data sources: mobile social networks and mobile sensing. Various categories of knowledge (e.g. location, personal and social context, user feelings/opinions, traffic conditions, and pollution) reported by smart device users, are shared w! ithin the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers, enabling a broad range of applications and services such as urban dynamic mining, public safety, and environment monitoring.

CALL FOR PAPERS ACM e-Energy 2015 The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems July 14-17, 2015, Bangalore, India http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/ Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next generation “smart” and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in July 2015 aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small group interactions, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM eEnergy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings - Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems - Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-efficient data centers - The impact of storage integration on the smart grid - Electric Vehicle monitoring and control - Distribution and transmission network control techniques - Microgrid and distributed generation management and control - Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources - Smart grid communication architectures and protocols - Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure - Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management - Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems - HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness - User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies - Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems - Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Submissions Three types of contributions are solicited: - Regular papers, up to 10 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. Regular papers are intended to describe high quality research work based on novel ideas that have been thoroughly evaluated. The 10 pages limit is intended to be an upper bound and we encourage the authors to take fewer pages if appropriate. The review process for regular papers will include a thorough evaluation by the program committee, opportunity for authors to respond to reviews, and a shepherding process to ensure compliance with review comments before the paper acceptance is finalized. - Challenge Papers, up to 6 pages in ACM double-column format, should present revolutionary new ideas that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the e-Energy research community. Challenge papers should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight into and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the proceedings. The title of these papers must start with the prefix "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." - Poster and Demo Abstracts, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Additionally, the demo abstracts should be accompanied by a third page (which will not be published) describing the script of the demo to be presented as well as any special resource requirements (space, networking, electricity etc.). The title for the abstracts must have the prefix “Poster Abstract:” or “Demo Abstract:” as appropriate. The submission must be in PDF format with all fonts embedded, and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which are the major contributors to this area, will fuel the realization of this new, globally interconnected cyber-world. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of IoT and CPS systems strongly depend on the security, privacy and trust of the IoT and cyber-physical devices as well as the sensitive data being exchanged. While these technologies offer a lot of new possibilities, the increasing complexity of hardware and software as well as the worldwide access increase the vulnerability to security attacks. Successful attacks targeted to IoT devices and CPS systems have in common that not only a single computer is affected, but also interconnected technical systems allowing interaction with the physical world are influenced leading to malfunction of devices and control systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses. This fact highlights the need to develop novel tools that will constitute the heart of a much-needed science of security for IoT and CPS. The goal of the SPIC workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results aimed at addressing all aspects of security and privacy for IoT and CPS. TOPICS OF INTEREST To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this field, the SPIC Workshop solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: o Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT and CPS Systems o Secure IoT and CPS architectures o Security vulnerabilities in IoT and CPS systems o Detecting and preventing attacks in IoT devices and CPS systems o Evaluation of the Threats, Attacks and Risks in IoT and cyber-physical devices o Data Security and Privacy in the IoT o Game theory for IoT and CPS security o Security and Privacy in IoT applications and services (health care, smart cities, smart grid, safety and surveillance systems, etc.) o Security and Privacy for RFID, sensors, actuator technologies o Security in Smart Grids and Smart Spaces o Network-distributed signal processing for security solutions in CPS o Joint security and privacy aware protocol design o Test-bed and performance metrics of security solutions in CPS o Deployment and performance studies of secure CPS o Secure network control systems for CPS applications o Secure implementation of cyber-physical systems o Architectures for secure hardware/software CPS systems SUBMISSION PROCEDURE The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.
