For instance, many types of sensor nodes equipped with communication modules are providing more and more information about industrial production, and managing this newly-accessible sensing information can help to reduce maintenance cost, by automatically identifying the status of modules to avoid system unprepared breakdowns. Moreover, recent innovations in cyber-physical systems interconnecting industrial elements have not only improved their own capabilities, but also enabled them to connect to other networks and to the Internet. Based on above-mentioned advances and innovations, sensing-based integrated intellectualization will be an inevitable process for industrial systems. This ongoing process is addressing complex problems, utilizing the large-scale integration of distributed resources and sensing data, improving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of modern industrial production and applications, and overcoming one of the key weaknesses of industrial systems, decision making. New intelligent models, architecture, approaches, algorithms and solutions are needed to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of problems in modern industry, e.g., (i) cyber-physical component and device control problems, (ii) the energy consumption problems of equipment and productive processes, and (iii) the environmental pollution control problems of industrial production. This Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss and exchange their latest achievements in related industrial systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - Innovative forecasting methods for solving complex problems in sensing-based modern industries, e.g., environmental protection - Integration, processing and analysis of sensing data from spatially-distributed sensors for intelligent control and decision making - Data mining and knowledge discovery based on Big Data analysis from the aspect of Industrial Internet of Things - Intelligent control, localization and navigation systems for assets, productive processes and productive participants with the help of Geographic Intelligence or other sensing information from the physical world - Standardization and test beds in the industrial sensing intelligence domain, for building automation systems, intelligent transport systems, energy management frameworks and structural monitoring infrastructure Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting new developments at the interface of industrial sensing intelligence are especially welcome.

******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * DroNet 2015 * 1st Workshop on * Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications * for Civilian Use * * http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2015/workshops/DroNet/ * (organized in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2015) * * Florence, Italy * May 18, 2015 * * Submissions due (NEW DEADLINE): March 10, 2015 * * Please register submissions before due date! * Paper authors may update papers until due date! * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ======== Micro and nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs), often referred to as drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles of various forms, such as small quadrocopters, airplanes, balloons, or tiny flapping wing vehicles. They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon has recently advertised their new drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs that need to coordinate their activities. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design (requirements and challenges) - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Communication for drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - MAV-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Automated map generation - Game, entertainment, and multimedia drone applications - Smart cities and urban applications of MAVs - Social good applications - Emergency applications - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE TVT SI on "Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks" Datum: Sun, 1 Mar 2015 18:42:31 -0500 Von: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline: July 1, 2015 CFP URL: http://anss.org.au/members/thluan/pdf/TVT_SI_5G_Vanet.pdf Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ContextQoS 2015] CFP - Deadline Extension Datum: Sun, 1 Mar 2015 22:22:13 +0000 Von: Patrick-Benjamin Bök <patrick(a)BOEK.DE> Antwort an: Patrick-Benjamin Bök <patrick(a)BOEK.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *************************************************************************** We apologize for multiples copies. Please circulate this CFP among your colleagues and students. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS [ContextQoS 2015] 5th International Workshop on Context-aware Quality of Service Engineering and Management for Cyber Physical Systems Emerging Networks, Applications and Services Important Dates Paper due: March 6th, 2015 Author Notification: April 13th, 2015 Camera-ready due: May 8th, 2015 In conjunction with 24th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2015 from August 3 - 6, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV, USA! ICCCN is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The Proceedings of the ICCCN 2015 has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program. Workshop papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be EI indexed. For more information: http://www.contextqos.org **************************************************************************** Context-aware QoS provisioning and management (also known as context-aware performance engineering) has many facets and most of the time novel tailored schemes are required to provide an appropriate level of QoS for different types of networks, applications and services. The provisioning of a certain level of QoS according to the requirements of an entire context can hardly be accomplished in special networks, e. g. for Advanced Manufacturing, using traditional QoS provisioning and management schemes because these do not account for the requirements introduced by the new dynamic networks and applications. The definition of a certain level of QoS using the traditional models is just driven by technical aspects of the running applications. Novel context-aware schemes have to be developed to cope with the challenges given by these special networks. These must account for the dynamic requirements and ideally allow to permit system-independent usage. Advanced Manufacturing is only one example for a new type of network that has to face special requirements. Context-awareness is required in several types of networks and for different types of applications and services. All of these are different. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to network traffic of a corporate Intra-Network. Each of them have different constraints and demands that should be covered by a context-aware QoS provisioning and management system. This workshop, among other things, wants to bring together researchers to present and discuss novel approaches and solutions as well as recent results in this area of research, e.g. specially designed for Advanced Manufacturing, Cloud and Grid Computing, Wireless Mesh Networks, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless and Mobile Sensor Networks, Private Home Networks as well as other types of Cyber Physical Systems and Networks. Technical Topics * Performance engineering for Advanced Manufacturing * QoS for mission critical communications * Recognition of performance relevant context-patterns * Context-pattern transformation for QoS provisioning * Autonomous context-aware traffic classification * Concepts for achieving transparency to co-existing QoS mechanisms * Security and privacy of context-aware QoS approaches * Control protocols for distributed QoS provisioning and management * Performance-driven routing protocols and algorithms * Cross-platform QoS control * Context-dependent energy management * Cognitive QoS patterns in multi-agent systems * Implementation of context-aware QoS-drivers and middlewares * Concepts for usage of context-aware QoS approaches * Performance analysis of context-aware QoS approaches * Real-Time concepts for context-aware QoS control * Context-aware transmit power control * and all other topics not named at this point, but belonging to the main topic of this workshop Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via Easychair as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es). The paper must be registered on and submitted to Easychair by the deadline. The paper title and author name list/order cannot be changed during the final camera-ready submission. All authors of a paper must be registered in the RIGHT order at the SUBMISSION TIME and cannot be changed after the submission due time. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2015 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Accepted and registered workshop papers will be published in proceedings of the ICCCN 2015 that has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program and EI indexed.
