The ecosystem figure presents the general architecture of the IoT ecosystem, where the data coming from the Internet of Things and Smarter Cities is integrated into the Cloud Computing. The presented flow is enabling the interaction between the cloud and the humans, who are starting to be more actives and more participative with the processes that are happening in their cities, workspaces and living areas. The cloud is taking care of the centralization of the data of each sensor and object, allowing them to interact and communicate between them through the creation of a ubiquitous network and solving the interconnection problem. The cloud is also enabling the integration of Big Data analysis in order to reach understandings of behaviors, determination of patterns, and extraction of knowledge from the data. Finally, as a result and the cross integration of all the technologies, a new level of control and feedback mechanisms are being developed in order to enhance the processes. This workshop looks for multidisciplinary works that mixes the IoT with social aspects, IoT with Big Data, IoT with the cloud computing, and IoT as an enabler for Cyber Physical Systems. Finally, applications of the IoT and solutions that integrate multiple off the enablers presented in the CrossIoT loop are also highly encouraged to participate in this event.

Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IJCS Special Issue on Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Networks with QoS Datum: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:47:17 -0400 Von: Peng-Yong Kong <kongpy(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Peng-Yong Kong <kongpy(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Networks with QoS http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijcs Deadline: July 21, 2014 Nowadays, we are witnessing a huge increase in the number of mobile subscribers, and also the forecast on the telecommunications market assumes an increase per subscriber’s data rate and the roll out of additional base stations for next generation mobile networks. An undesired consequence is the growth of wireless networks’ energy consumption that will cause an increase of the global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and impose more and more challenging operational costs for operators. This has initiated the need to innovate in the field of energy efficient communications, as wireless network infrastructures as a whole have contributed a significant portion of the total carbon emission of a telecommunication system. As such, wireless networks can play an important role in helping to alleviate the global warming. Various energy efficient networking technologies can be designed to reduce power consumption. However, the effort of saving power and energy must not affect the service quality perceived by a user. It is a major challenge to be able to reduce power consumption and maintain good service quality at the same time. This special issue is devoted to the recent progress on the advanced wireless networking technologies to achieve energy efficiency without compromising quality of service (QoS). We are particularly interested in wireless cellular networks, but innovative and novel works in other types of communication networks are also invited. Original major contributions on the design, analysis, implementation, demonstration, application and standardization of energy efficient wireless networking technologies with QoS will be considered for this special issue. By gathering the relevant cutting edge works, this special issue will identify the unique challenges and the efficient solutions in the area of energy efficient wireless networks with QoS. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Green wireless network architecture design - QoS aware energy efficient communication protocols and power management - Energy efficient QoS routing protocols - Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency and QoS - QoS aware energy efficient MAC protocols - Energy efficiency in Internet of Things - Energy efficiency and QoS in the backhaul network - QoS in heterogeneous wireless networks - QoS schemes in green wireless networks - Algorithms for QoS aware energy efficient scheduling and resource management - Cross-layer energy efficiency optimization - Cooperation for energy efficiency with QoS provision - Security in green mobile communication networks - Power efficient operation in multi-hop wireless networks - Energy efficient network selection - QoS Power control in multi-hop wireless networks - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency and QoS - Managing tradeoffs between energy efficiency and QoS - Cooperative green communications with QoS - Managing tradeoffs between energy efficiency and QoS - Self-organized network algorithms for energy efficiency and QoS - Energy efficient signal processing for wireless communications - Energy efficient and QoS dynamic network reconfiguration - Cognitive techniques to control networking energy efficiency and QoS - Optimization of energy efficient networking - Energy harvesting techniques and strategies - Power and energy consumption models for QoS aware wireless communications - User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure - Future of green wireless multimedia networks Instructions for Manuscripts Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. Papers could be submitted to this special issue if they are substantially revised or improved and extended from their earlier versions with at least 33% new materials or results” as we do not encourage recycling conference papers in the journal. Submissions must be directly sent via the IJCS submission web site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijcs and select Special Issue: Efficient Wireless Communication Networks with QoS as manuscript type during step 1 of the submission process. Paper submissions must conform to the layout and format guidelines in the International Journal of Communication Systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: IEEE Communication Magazine - Feature Topic on Wireless Physical Layer Security Datum: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 08:17:04 -0400 Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless Physical Layer Security The security of communication systems is continuously facing new challenges as people become increasingly dependent on wireless technologies for the transmission of private data, such as Internet banking using a wireless access point or mobile payments via a device-to-device link. Despite the convenience of wireless networks, the broadcast nature of the wireless medium makes it vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks from unauthorized or even adversarial users. The challenging problem of secure wireless communication has already drawn significant attention from various research communities in communications, signal processing, and cyber-security. These research efforts have culminated in tremendous improvements in existing cryptographic techniques and, more importantly, in the introduction of a new security paradigm for wireless networks, termed as physical layer security. Physical layer security is the first security solution that focuses on exploiting the physical layer properties of the wireless channels, such as multi-path fading and interference, to protect the confidential information transmission against eavesdropping. It can also nicely complement current cryptographic techniques as the two approaches operate in different domains: one protects the communication phase while the other protects the data processing after the communication phase. In addition, physical layer security techniques can also be adopted for secret key generation and distribution, by exploiting the rich randomness and dynamics available in the wireless medium. This IEEE Communications Magazine feature topic aims to gather state-of-the-art contributions that can provide a timely and comprehensive overview of the current research and development of this emerging security technique, as well as the challenges and opportunities for its practical implementation in current and future wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following categories: - Information-theoretic limits of physical layer security; - Practical code designs for achieving near-optimal physical layer security performance; - Signal processing for secrecy enhancements; - Coordinated or distributed network-level designs for physical layer security; - Optimization and game-theoretic techniques for enhancing wireless secrecy; - Secret-key generation and agreement over wireless channels; - Cross-layer security solutions and joint designs of physical layer security and cryptography; - Experimental results on practical implementations of physical layer security techniques.

Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.
