Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016 (with INFOCOM 2016): Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 30 Oct '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016 (with INFOCOM 2016): Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 14:44:04 -0400 Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Antwort an: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies for multiple reception if this CfP.) *** ----------------------------------------------------------*** The Fifth IEEE Annual International Workshop on Mission- Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking *** IEEE MiSeNet 2016 *** Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2016 San Francisco, CA, April 10-15, 2016 *** ----------------------------------------------------------*** *** -------------------- Call for Papers ---------------------*** * Scope and Topics Over the last two decades, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance. Wireless sensor networking has attracted the attention of practitioners and researchers from both industry and academia. This type of networks consists of a collection of tiny, resource-limited, low-reliable sensing devices that are randomly or deterministically deployed in a field of interest to monitor a physical phenomenon and report their results to a central gathering point, known as a sink. These sensing devices suffer from their scarce capabilities, such as bandwidth, storage, CPU, battery power (or energy), sensing, and communication. In particular, mission-oriented WSNs are viewed as time-varying systems composed of autonomous mobile sensing devices (e.g., using mobile robots) that collaborate and coordinate distributedly to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. The major challenge in the design of mission-oriented WSNs is due to their dynamic topology and architecture, which is caused mainly by sensing devices mobility. The latter may have significant impact on the performance of mission-oriented WSNs in terms of their sensing coverage and network connectivity. In such continuously dynamic environments, sensing devices should self-organize and move purposefully to accomplish any mission in their deployment field while extending the operational network lifetime. In particular, the design of mission-oriented WSNs should account for trade-offs between several attributes, such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, and delay. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs research and practice. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of mission-oriented WSNs. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications. The topics of interest to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented WSNs * Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs * System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs * Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs * Cross-layer design for mission-oriented WSNs * Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs * Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs * Coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs * Deployment and localization in mission-oriented WSNs * Uncertainty and opportunistic communications in mission-oriented WSNs * Topology control and fault-tolerance in mission-oriented WSNs * Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs * In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs * Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs * Purposeful mobility in mission-oriented WSNs * Target detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs * Privacy and security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs * Cloud computing and its applications to mission-oriented WSNs * Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs General Chair * Zygmunt J.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline Approaching: EWSN 2016 Workshops on Next Generation Communication Paradigms and Computing Platforms Datum: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:34:11 +0100 Von: Kay Römer <romer.kay(a)googlemail.com> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Second Call for EWSN 2016 Workshop Contributions Intl. Workshop on New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things (MadCom) Intl. Workshop on Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet (NextMote) www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 <http://www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016> ** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 9, 2015 ==================================================================== MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things ==================================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/MadCom2016 For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + magnetic induction communication + infrared communication + laser communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + acoustic communication + applications for novel wireless communication methods + new platforms + theoretical models + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies ==================================================================== NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ==================================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/NextMote2016 The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: firstly so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and secondly smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". What will they be, and how to design them? The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions ==================================================================== The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications. Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike. The papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format). Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the LaTeX templates provided here: http://bit.ly/ewsn-template2016 Key Dates ==================================================================== Paper submission deadline: November 9, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC Paper notification: December 7, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition Datum: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:20:49 -0400 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ****** Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ***** Call For Contesters ======================================================================= 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition April 10-11, 2016 Vienna, Austria Co-located with IPSN 2016 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/msindoorloccompetition2016/defau… ======================================================================= ELIGIBILITY Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All location techniques, such as ranging, fingerprinting, infrastructure, or device free, are welcome, except those that require end users’ manual measurements. Contesters can deploy their own infrastructure of *up to 5 devices*. Normal RF interference is expected, but no jammers from other deployments are allowed. The results must be shown on a portable device, such as a phone or a tablet/laptop that a person can easily carry around. Demo submissions that do not meet one or more of the guidelines above will be included in the poster session and will be evaluated as a regular submission, but they will not be considered for prizes. The competition will take place if *at least 5 teams* respond to this preliminary call for competition. CATEGORIES Depending on the nature and number of submissions multiple categories might be defined based on the accuracy (i.e., point-based vs. area based), the size, the cost, or the type (i.e., software vs. hardware) of the proposed solution. Given our past experience, this year we expect to have the following categories (note that these categories have not been finalized. The final categories will be announced shortly after the registration deadline and they will depend on the number and type of submissions received): Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category should be able to work with unmodified commercial off-the-shelf devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets. In this category, the unmodified COTS device is localized. Teams in this category will not be allowed to interface any custom hardware to the COTS devices (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Only changes to the software of the devices will be allowed. Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies with Initialization: Submissions in this category should meet all the criteria of the COTS Technologies category, with the additional requirement to initialize the location of the COTS device being localized to a ground truth location before the evaluation. Modified Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category could interface custom hardware to the COTS devices to be localized (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. Most, if not all, submissions in this category are expected to be infrastructure-based. For instance: WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also leverage inertial sensors will be classified as infrastructure-free COTS Technologies as they do not require to interface any custom hardware to the COTS device being localized. WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also deploy custom BLE beacons in the evaluation area will be classified as infrastructure-based COTS Technologies as they don't modify the COTS device being localized, but they require the deployment of custom hardware. Approaches based on inertial sensing that require to be initialized to a ground truth location before being evaluated will be classified as COTS Technologies with Initialization. UWB approaches will be classified as infrastructure-based modified COTS Technologies as they require modifications to the COTS device being localized, and they need to deploy custom hardware in the evaluation area. In the past, teams were asked to report 2D locations (X,Y). In this year's competition, teams will be required to report 3D locations (X,Y,Z). The evaluation area we have reserved, even though it does not contain multiple floors, it includes locations with different elevation characteristics. On top of that, we plan to place the devices to be localized at different heights during the competition to evaluate the 3D localization accuracy of each team. *Not all teams will have to report 3D locations*. We understand that some technologies are not suited for 3D localization (i.e., WiFi/geo-magnetic fingerprinting, dead reckoning, BLE-based etc.), but they are still excellent candidates for commercial indoor location systems. With this in mind, the organizers will determine shortly after the registration deadline which teams will be classified as 3D localization teams. It is not up to the individual teams to decide if they will report 2D or 3D locations. The organizers will ensure that all the teams in a given category will either report 2D or 3D locations. There will be no categories containing both 2D and 3D localization teams. EVALUATION AND PRIZE Results are judged based on accuracy, and an award will be given to the top 3 teams in each category. When accuracy ties, infrastructure requirements will be used for tie breaking. The winning teams in each category will be invited to present their approach at the conference, and receive a cash award. The exact accuracy metrics that will be used during evaluation will be announced shortly before the competition takes place. POSTER SESSION A poster session dedicated to all competition participants will be organized during the conference. Participants will have the opportunity to explain their system to conference attendees. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Contesters must submit an abstract describing their approach and deployment requirements by the contest registration deadline. Submissions are treated as confidential until the competition. Submissions must be at most two (2) single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references. Submission should follow the exact same format as regular, full IPSN 2016 papers. *Abstracts should include the names and affiliations of all authors*. Templates can be found here: http://ipsn.acm.org/2016/submission.html?v=1 REGISTRATION DEADLINE January 20th, 2016, 11:59 pm EST To register for the competition, please email your abstract to dlymper(a)microsoft.com with the following subject line: 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition Submission. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue: Multi-X Vehicular Comm's Datum: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:13:17 +0100 Von: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> Antwort an: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ** Manuscript submission deadline: 15 November 2015 ** Elsevier Computer Communications Special Issue Call for Papers Multi-radio, Multi-technology, Multi-system Vehicular Communications Scope ----- Vehicular networks have rapidly evolved from their roots as an application of mobile ad hoc networks to today's fusion of interdisciplinary research on computer communications. Inspired by governments' visions of vastly improved road traffic safety and transport efficiency and hailed as industry's enabler of a plethora of value-added services for passengers and drivers, stakeholders are pushing the rulemaking for an adoption of vehicular communication technologies in newly sold cars, in turn inspiring bold research ventures. Despite the plethora of efforts devoted to this research field, the peculiarities of vehicular environments call into question the capabilities of existing solutions and standard specifications to meet the increasingly strict scalability, reliability, and quality of experience demands of such visions. Indeed, the expected tsunami of data to be exchanged, both to support cooperative/autonomous driving applications and to satisfy the growing data appetite of users on wheels, will burden the network. In such a context, the widespread availability of multiple radio technologies and multiple radio channels per technology, along with complete communication systems is envisioned to merge with sophisticated physical layer and medium access control approaches, and emerging cognitive radio and software-defined radio techniques, thus opening the door to new exciting research opportunities in multi-radio, multi-technology, multi-system vehicular communications. The goal of this special issue is to gather high-quality and unpublished papers contributing to the evolution of vehicular networking and, in particular, focusing on the aforementioned developments. The contributions to this special issue may present novel ideas, methodologies, algorithms, architectures, models, experiments. High-quality review and survey papers are also welcomed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multi-radio and multi-channel communications - Multi-technology (PAN, WLAN, long range) communications - Multi-system (short range radio, cellular, backbone) communications - Physical layer, medium access, and congestion control design from radio to visible light and beyond - Vehicle-to-X (roadside, pedestrian, grid, in-vehicle) data dissemination, system integration, services, and applications - IEEE 802.11p DSRC/WAVE, ETSI ITS-G5, ARIB standardization - Cellular technologies for vehicular communications and/or vehicle-to-X (LTE-Advanced, LTE-Direct) - New challenges in security & privacy - Simulation tools and methodologies, analytical models, experimental evaluation and field operational tests - Applications of multi-radio, multi-technology, or multi-system vehicular communications Paper Submission ---------------- Please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom for preparation guidelines and visit http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom to submit your manuscript.

Fwd: [InternetTC] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 03:49:31 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************** Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ******************** *** Submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) *** header Call for Papers (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/) ACM MobiSys 2016 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience with mobile apps, networks and systems * Innovative wearable, mobile, sensing, and crowdsourcing apps * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems * Innovative wearable or mobile devices * Novel software architectures for mobile devices * Data management for mobile applications * Infrastructure support for node mobility * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Operating systems for mobile devices * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web * Security and privacy in mobile systems * Systems for location and context sensing and awareness * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * Vehicular wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Personal-area networks and systems * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review elsewhere, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged only if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Furthermore, extended versions of papers submitted to ACM HotMobile 2016 should not be submitted to ACM MobiSys 2016, as it is extremely unlikely that they would meet this standard of significant new contributions. Submissions will be single blind, i.e., reviewers will be anonymous and submissions should include authors' names and institutions. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on TPC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a small number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. ACM has been making an effort to support more open access to the proceedings of its sponsored conferences. As a result, the ACM MobiSys 2016 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. Proceedings may be made available in other formats in addition to PDF, such as ePub. A brief public review that summarizes the PC’s opinion of each published paper may also be made available. *Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential.* *As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze non-public data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval) or certify that such a review is not needed in their country or organization. We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects.* The submission process will include a free-form paragraph of text that authors can optionally fill out. This is information that the PC chairs may or may not consider during the paper selection process. If the paper is a resubmission of a previous MobiSys rejection, then authors may consider summarizing major improvements made to the paper. Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked to a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will submit a short 1-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. A selected set may be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. Submission Guidelines Detailed formatting guidelines and access to the submission server will be made available closer to the submission deadline and will be provided here. <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/submission.php> Important Dates * Abstract registration deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth * Paper submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) * Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2016 * Camera-ready due: May 9, 2016 * Video submission due: June 1, 2016, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) Contact If you have any questions, please contact MobiSys2016-TPCChair(a)acm.org <mailto:MobiSys2016-TPCChair@acm.org> Footer ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1
