-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Wireless-Info] [CFP] (IoTIP-14) International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (LAST WEEK) Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 11:11:32 +0100 Von: Valeria Loscri <vloscri(a)DEIS.UNICAL.IT> Antwort an: Valeria Loscri <vloscri(a)DEIS.UNICAL.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-14) May 25-27, 2014 Marina Del Rey, USA https://iotip2014.hds.utc.fr/ Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: March 9th, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 1st, 2014 Camera Ready Due: April 13th, 2014 Workshop Date: May 28th, 2014 Call for papers Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: ‐ IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies ‐ IoT systems and components ‐ IoT for semantic web and personalization ‐ Tools for developing IoT applications ‐ Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT ‐ Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT ‐ Security and privacy control mechanisms ‐ Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) ‐ PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications ‐ MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT ‐ Mobility management ‐ Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability ‐ Object, device and service management ‐ RFID, sensors, actuator technologies ‐ Middleware ‐ Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) ‐ Test-beds and field trials ‐ Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: ‐ Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; ‐ Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.

Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, opportunistic networks etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. We particularly encourage the submissions spanning these areas of applications. The conference provides a wide spectrum of topics, covered in the following tracks: * Self-stabilization * Fault-tolerant and Dependable Systems * Formal Methods, Safety, and Security * Ad-hoc, Sensor and Mobile Networks, Cyberphysical Systems * Cloud Computing, P2P, Self-organizing and Autonomous Systems IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Submission: April 16, 2014 (UTC-12) * Paper Submission: April 21, 2014 (UTC-12) * Notification: June 9, 2014 * Camera Ready Submission: July 4, 2014 PAPER SUBMISSION Papers must be prepared using the LNCS style and be electronically submitted in PDF format using EasyChair ( https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss2014). Two types of papers can be submitted: Regular Papers and Brief Announcements. Submissions for regular papers should be no longer than 15 pages (including the title, authors, abstract, figures, and references) in LNCS style; a submission may have an appendix of at most two pages beyond the 15 page limit. Brief announcements are restricted to two pages using the LNCS style, with no appendix. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. If requested by the authors, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for a brief announcement. This request must be clearly indicated in the first page of the paper. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular paper. A paper submitted at this forum is expected to be original research not previously published. A submission may not be concurrently submitted to another conference, workshop, or journal. PUBLICATION The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Self-Computing ( http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/jsc). BEST PAPER AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARDS The program committee will select two papers for best paper and best student paper awards. A paper is eligible for the best student paper award if at least one of its authors is a full-time student at the time of submission. This must be clearly indicated in the first page of the paper.
