-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT Datum: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:29:38 +0100 Von: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> Antwort an: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ==================================================== IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT Submission Deadline: December 1st 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS ==================================================== Over recent past years there has been a growing interest in the ability of embedded devices, sensors, actuators to communicate and create a ubiquitous cyber-physical world. The growth of the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid development of technologies such as short range mobile communication and improved energy-efficiency is expected to create a pervasive connection of “things”. This will inevitably result in the generation of enormous amount of data, which have to be stored, processed and accessed. Cloud computing has long been recognized as a paradigm for big data storage and analytics. The combination of cloud computing and IoT can enable ubiquitous sensing services and powerful processing of sensing data streams beyond the capability of individual “things”, thus stimulating innovations in both fields. For example, cloud platforms allow the sensing data to be stored and used intelligently for smart monitoring and actuation with the smart devices. Novel data fusion algorithms, machine learning methods, and artificial intelligence techniques can be implemented and run centralized or distributed on the cloud to achieve automated decision making. These will boost the development of new applications such as smart cities, grids, and transportation systems. New challenges however arise when IoT meets cloud – there is an urgent need for novel network architectures that seamlessly integrate them, and protocols that facilitate big data streaming from IoT to the cloud. QoS and QoE, as well as data security, privacy, and reliability, are critical concerns during the integration. This special issue solicits high-quality original research papers which focuses on the integration of cloud computing and IoT. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of Cloud Computing for IoT. High-quality survey papers that review the cutting edge research in this field would also be considered. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: - Network architecture for cloud and IoT integration - IoT and cloud data management - Cloud computing for large-scale sensor data stream processing - Cloud-assisted machine to machine communication - Innovative applications of cloud-based sensing architecture, e.g., smart cities, smart grids, transportation - Protocol design and modification for cloud and IoT integration (e.g., CoAP, IPv6) - Data security, privacy and reliability for cloud and IoT integration - Cloud-assisted IoT mobility management and QoE/QoS enhancement - Cloud-assisted ubiquitous sensing services and applications Important Dates ========================= Submission Deadline: December 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: March 31st 2014 Revision Due: May 1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: June 20st 2015 Final Manuscript Due: July 20th 2015 Publication Date: August 2015 Submission ========================= The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Cloud Computing for IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: ACM TIST Special Issue on "Crowd in Intelligent Systems" Datum: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:34:48 +0800 Von: Sheng-Wei (Kuan-Ta) Chen <swc(a)IIS.SINICA.EDU.TW> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ------====== Call for Papers ======----- ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology Special Issue on Crowd in Intelligent Systems = AIMS AND SCOPE = Crowdsourcing, i.e., outsourcing tasks to an indefinite crowd, has now become a common strategy to resolve problems that are difficult to computers. It has proven the intelligence, wisdom, or judgments from the crowd, when appropriately combined, can be effective in addressing challenges in various areas, from knowledge organization (such as Wikipedia), business investment, policy making, government transparency to scientific development. In particular, the contributions from the crowd are stretching out the horizon of intelligent systems by filling the gap between artificial intelligence and human intelligence with the wisdom of crowd. Successful applications can readily been seen in the fields of computer-human interaction, computer vision, information retrieval, social computing, biomedical research (such as Foldit), and information and multimedia systems. The uses in crowdsourcing have opened up many new forms of intelligent systems and technologies most of which have barely been explored to date. However, challenging research questions still lie in the way to unleash the potentials of the crowd as a part of intelligent systems. This special issue aims to address these challenges in the hope of overcoming the obstacles blocking the road toward intelligent systems where artificial- and human-intelligence perfectly harmonize. The dimensions listed below indicate the range of work that is relevant to the special issue. Each article is expected to make a significant scientific contribution along one or more of these dimensions. In case of doubt about the relevance of your topic, please contact the special issue guest editors. = TOPIC DIMENSIONS = - General: Theoretical, experimental, and/or methodological developments advancing state-of-the-art knowledge of crowdsourcing for intelligent systems - Novel applications: Novel uses of contributions from the crowd for intelligent systems (e.g., complicated tasks rather than simple judgment or labeling tasks) - Evaluation: Evaluation of the design and quality of intelligent systems by the crowd - Machine learning: Effective learning and information aggregation from noisy crowd inputs; quality assurance and cheat detection for the crowd contributions - Human factors: Effective interfaces and workflow for the task workers, especially for complicated, compound tasks - Infrastructure: Programming languages, tools and platforms providing enhanced support for crowdsourcing; security, privacy, trust, and reputation management in crowdsourcing for intelligent systems - Economics and incentives: Enable effective and efficient crowd contributions that traditionally would only be possible by expensive domain experts - Ethics: Theory, design, or mechanisms that address ethical issues in adopting crowd’s efforts in intelligent systems. Possible ethical issues include education, labor exploitation, crowd awareness (of the tasks they perform), and alienation. - Inherent biases, limitations and trade-offs of combining crowd intelligence and artificial intelligence = SCHEDULE = Submission due:16 January 2015 First review completed:17 April 2015 Final manuscript due:19 June 2015 Publication: September 2015 = HOW TO SUBMIT = Please see the instructions for authors on the ACM TIST website (tist.acm.org <http://tist.acm.org>) and the special issue CfP website http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~swc/tist_crowd/ The papers will be evaluated for their originality, contribution significance, soundness, clarity, and overall quality.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 14:28:58 +0100 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.

06 Nov '14

------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS SustainIT 2015 The Fourth IFIP Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability http://www.networks.imdea.org/sustainit2015 April 14-15, 2015 Madrid, Spain Sponsored by the IFIP TC6 WG 6.3, Performance of Communication Systems Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **** Paper Registration Deadline --- DECEMBER 05, 2014 **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All papers presented at SustainIT 2015 will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best paper presented at the conference will receive a Best Paper Award. Authors of papers of particular merit will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to the Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (COMCOM). SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The evolving information and communications (ICT) technologies present a unique opportunity to effect the transformation needed to move us towards the goal of sustainability by helping to reduce our carbon footprint, mitigate and adapt ill effects of climate change, reduce and repair environmental damage, provide effective disaster response and recovery, creatively manage overstressed infrastructures in crowded urban systems, and enhance use of planet friendly materials and technologies. ICT is already being integrated into many areas of our lives, such as smart management of city services, transportation, energy distribution and management, health care, etc., and this integration is expected to expand deeper and wider in the coming years and decades. Unfortunately, this ICT proliferation brings in its own challenges of increased carbon footprint, accelerating obsolescence of electronic equipment and its disposal issues, increased use of precious natural resources such as water and materials, etc. These twin problems of reducing the environmental impact of ICT and exploiting ICT for a more sustainable world form the underlying theme for SustainIT since its inception in 2010.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM WIDN Workshop 2015 Datum: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 14:51:28 -0500 Von: My T. Thai <mythai(a)CISE.UFL.EDU> Antwort an: My T. Thai <mythai(a)CISE.UFL.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) April, 27, Hong Kong, 2015 (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2015 - April, 26 - May,1 , Hong Kong) *http://optnetsci.cise.ufl.edu/widn2015/ <http://optnetsci.cise.ufl.edu/widn2015/>* ============================================================ SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------------------------- Modern networked systems, in particular, networked physical infrastructures, are inter-dependent in such a way that changing in one network may have a profound impact on other systems. One notable example of such interdependent networked system is the smart-grid, of which the power stations depend on communication networks for control and management and vice versa, the communication networks depend on the power systems for their electricity supports. Furthermore, the rapid adoption and pervasiveness of computing, and emergence of smart cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) have created new capabilities for autonomy, interoperability, interaction and cooperation between many critical computing, communication and control networks (“cyber systems”) and physical infrastructures and “smart” environments (“physical systems”). Unfortunately, the connections with cyberspace also open to new surfaces of vulnerabilities and new threat vectors. The challenge is to understand the interdependencies of these systems and how the dynamics are cascaded between them so as to design and develop “smarter” and more resilient inter-dependent networked (cyber-physical) systems. The objective of this workshop is to advance and promote theoretical foundations for understanding the behaviors of and inter-dependencies in modern networked systems -- especially, in critical (networked) physical infrastructure systems -- and emerging cyber-physical systems. It also seeks to explore new system architectures and innovative mechanisms for the design and development of robust and resilient interdependent networked systems. This workshop will foster an interdisciplinary research community that discovers new knowledge for the design and operation of national critical networked infrastructures as processes and services. LIST OF TOPICS The Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) welcomes contributions that are mainly involved, but not limited to the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics, relevant to its broader scope: - Understand and design of interdependent critical infrastructures - Vulnerability and resilience of interdependent networks - Cascading failures in interdependent networks - Multiplex and multi-layered networks - Network representations - Complexity and approximation of interdependent networks optimization and control techniques - Theoretical frameworks and multidisciplinary computational models of interdependent networks - Analytical prediction of complex behaviors - Cyber-physical systems IMPORTANT DATES - Full Paper Submission Deadline: *December 14, 2014* - Review Deadline: January 24, 2015 - Author Notification: February 7, 2015 - Camera-ready paper due: February 27, 2015 - Workshop Date: April 27, 2015 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------ We call for original and unpublished papers with no longer than 6 pages. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font).

It is estimated that people will increase their need of mobility around 35% per decade for the next 3 decades. In this context, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can be seen as new key enablers of the future networked society. Vehicles travelling acquire, as mobile sensors, a variety of information with increased capillarity in time and space. The vast information collected by vehicles can be used to enable a plurality of new services addressing safety, traffic management, smart navigation, in-vehicle remote control, pollution measurements, urban surveillance, environment monitoring, forensic investigations, and Internet access. Hence, VANETs represent a wide dynamic sensing opportunity. The acquisition, sharing, processing, and transmission of data from, to, and among vehicles foresee a new way to manage the communications: heterogeneity is inherent to devices, to data, and also to technologies. This opens new challenges whose complexity increases with the amount of connected vehicles. A typical challenge is how to make vehicles opportunistically cooperate, sharing resources and contents, how to optimize the transmission through operated networks or road side units (i.e., vehicle to infrastructure -V2I - communications), and how to obtain a real advantage from vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (such as, offloading of cellular networks, resource optimization, creation of new services). Other challenges derive from the jointly management and seamless integration of heterogeneous data flows, from frequent but small packets transmitted in V2V links, to huge multimedia flows shared and transmitted through the infrastructure. This special issue is seeking original contributions on VANETs, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this field and discussing challenges, key enabling techniques, unprecedented approaches, and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -Enabling technologies for vehicles cooperation (IEEE 802.11p, LTE, Visible Light Communication, etc.) -Cooperative approach for V2I communication -Physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) techniques (OFDMA, CSMA, non orthogonal waveforms) for V2V and V2I communications -Design of advanced PHYs for the coexistence of heterogeneous data flows (high rate flows with several low rate flows) -Multi-modal heterogeneous networks and optimal management of resources -Distributed algorithms for data collection -Optimal retrieval of relevant data and optimal routing toward the finalusers -New ideas toward an efficient handling of huge number of devices with widely varying requirements (e.g., information-centric networking) -Example of ITS or Smart Cities applications relying on data collected by vehicles -Field trial experiments. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the followingtimetable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINE (manuscript due): 2014 November 15 (extended) ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE (acceptance notification): 2015 April 12 EXPECTED PUBLICATION DATE: 2nd Quarter 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions for submission: v The submission website for this journal is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/default.asp v To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue you are editing, it is important that authors select SI: Vehicular Net for Sensing when they reach the âArticle Typeâ step in the submission process Guest Editors Barbara M.

The evolution of ICT has led to the diffusion of wireless personal devices, such as smart mobile phones, personal computers and wearable devices, designed to operate over the Internet. This, together with the exponential growth of the number of interconnected devices is leading towards the commonly called Internet of Things (IoT). Presently, a large share of the total energy consumption of the Internet takes place at the edge. This share is increasing with the progressive deployment of the IoT, which is reshaping the edge of the network, and which in the near future is bound to generate the large majority of traffic on the Internet. Though usually small and not power hungry, the sheer number of the devices composing the IoT will make them the highest contributors to total energy consumption in the ICT sector. For meeting the challenge of a greener Internet, therefore, a greener IoT is fundamental. This involves elaboration of new approaches at the device level (energy efficient, energy proportional devices) as well as at the system level (algorithms for energy efficient network services as well as application layers services provisioning). On the other side, the pervasiveness of sensing and computing capabilities in IoT is enabling a wealth of new applications for energy efficient management in almost all domains of human activity, from transportation to lighting, from waste management to the smart grid.
