-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - 4 days to submission! Datum: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:44:50 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== 14 April 2014 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ -* Keynote information announced! *- 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT] [CFP] Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications, in conjunction with IEEE SECON 2014 Datum: Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:25:51 +0100 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)inria.fr> Organisation: INRIA An: IoT list <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications June 30, 2014 Co-located with IEEE SECON 2014 in Singapore Scope: ------ This workshop will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications, co-located with IEEE SECON 2014 in Singapore. First, for wireless sensor networks, which operate at ultra-low-power, the small wireless autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power that is scavenged in milliwatts or even microwatts. If these wireless sensors, deployed throughout a home or factory, in-building or even outdoors to monitor all kinds of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace nor labour costs associated with replacing them, making them self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the fluctuating and often unpredictable availability of energy source. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grids allows further efficient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this workshop is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has significant benefits to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This workshop considers energy harvesting related issues in communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. The workshop solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. The main sub-areas of interest include, but not limited to: - Energy-harvesting base-station / relay / access point; - Energy-harvesting and energy-efficient machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; - Low-power and energy-harvesting wireless sensor network; - Light (solar), thermal, vibration, RF, motion, wind energy harvesting; - Wireless charging; - Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling; - Energy harvesting applications. Paper submission due: ———————————————— March 17, 2014 Acceptance by April 30, 2014 Final manuscript due May 12, 2014 Workshop date June 30, 2014 Papers must be submitted electronically via the EDAS system under the Workshop on Energy Harvesting Communications for SECON 2014 at http://edas.info/N16975.

Selcuk Uluagac <selcuk(a)GATECH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Workshop Papers International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) - http://www.cps-security.org 25-27 May 2014, Marina Del Rey, California, USA In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2014) - http://www.dcoss.org ** Scope ** Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) consist of large-scale interconnected systems of heterogeneous components interacting with their physical environments. In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. "CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency management, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations. Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cybersecurity challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, Internet of Things, SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure Networks, Transportation Systems, Medical Devices are all welcome. Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to: - Secure CPS architectures - Authentication mechanisms for CPS - Access control for CPS - Key management in CPS - Data security and privacy for CPS - Forensics for CPS - Intrusion detection for CPS - Trusted-computing in CPS - Energy-efficient and secure CPS - Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS - Distributed secure solutions for CPS - Threat models for CPS - Physical layer security for CPS - Security on heterogeneous CPS - Secure protocol design in CPS - Vulnerability analysis of CPS - Anonymization in CPS - Security of CPS in automotive systems - Security of CPS in aerospace systems - Security of embedded systems - Security of CPS in medical devices/systems - Security of CPS in civil engineering systems/devices - Security of industrial control systems - Security of Internet-of-Things For more information, visit the workshop's website at: http://www.cps-security.org ** Important Dates ** Submission Deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2014 Camera Ready: April 14, 2014 Workshop Date: May 25, 2014 ** Submission Instructions ** Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.
