The fundamental objective of this emerging interdisciplinary field is to propose predictive models of these processes and phenomena in these networks that are characterized as adaptive, interdependent, unpredictable, nonlinear, and dynamic. From this perspective, a fundamental question arises as how interdependent network systems can be designed to support unpredictable disturbance and unexpected changes when vulnerable to natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, and changes in its usage patterns due to socio-economic or technological changes. The latter changes could also impact operations for system maintenance as operators running an infrastructure might operate differently than system design assumes. For this purpose, a better understanding of the aforementioned properties characterizing interdependent networks requires to first capture the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience and robustness. Workshop Objective: ------------------ Technical networks exhibit many inter-dependencies which are complex to measure and model but also lead to multi-objective decision problems where uncertainty becomes the transversal notion to capture. To this end, understanding the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience, and robustness becomes essential in order to rejuvenate and/or improve current design and evaluation methods that are currently unable to cope with this fundamental dimension. Topics: ------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers that describe state-of-the-art research, present work-in-progress, or suggest open problems covering one or more of the topics of interest to the workshop: - Case studies including natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, failures, etc. in (inter-dependent) network infrastructure - Data analysis for inter-dependent networks: life stat. distributions, parametric and non-parametric methods, life data classification, competing failure modes analysis, multivariate data analysis - Quantitative methods, mathematical models, criteria and metrics for ecological network analysis - Robust optimization of large-scale (inter-dependent) networks - Robust decision methods for resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Stochastic optimal/adaptive control of energy-aware networks - Formal methods and mathematical models for network resiliency analysis at multiple time and space scale - Energy-aware resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Game theoretic and economic analysis of sustainability-vs-resilience trade-offs - Predictive simulation and uncertainty quantification ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: June 15, 2015 (extended, FIRM) - Notification deadline: July 10, 2015 - Camera-ready: July 25, 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We invite submissions (via EDAS) of original contributions of 4-8 pages, formatted according to the IEEE two-column conference template.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MobiCom Workshop CHANTS 2015 - DEADLINE EXTENSION Datum: Sun, 24 May 2015 16:13:31 +0200 Von: Karin Anna Hummel <karin.hummel(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * *** NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 8, 2015 *** * Please register your paper early, updates are possible until the deadline! * * CHANTS 2015 * 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks * * http://www.acm-chants.org/ * (co-located with MobiCom 2015) * * Paris, France * September 11, 2015 * * Submission due (extended): June 8, 2015 * Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chants2015 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ========= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. Challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, and opportunistic and participatory sensing. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE’s D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the nine previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work, including studies of real deployment. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. All papers shall be forward looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network coding in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, IoT) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing. PAPER SUBMISSION ================= Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] CFP: Elsevier VehCom Journal S.I. on Vehicular Cloud Networking Datum: Wed, 20 May 2015 16:14:13 +0200 Von: Rami Langar <rami.langar(a)lip6.fr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Vehicular Communications Journal on "Vehicular Cloud Networking". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- */Call for Papers/* *A Special Issue of **Vehicular Communications **on* *“**Vehicular Cloud Networking**”*** Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have gained a significant attention during the last decades both from industrial and academia communities to increase road safety and traffic management. However, vehicles are normally constrained by resources, including computation, storage, and radio spectrum bandwidth. Many emerging applications demand complex computation and large storage, including in-vehicle multimedia entertainment, vehicular social networking, etc. It becomes increasingly difficult for an individual vehicle to efficiently support these applications. A very promising solution is to share the computation and storage resources among all vehicles or physically nearby vehicles. As such, a new paradigm has emerged called “Vehicular Clouds” and consist of a group of vehicles whose corporate computing, sensing, communication and physical resources can be coordinated and dynamically allocated to authorized users. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish papers studying this emerging paradigm of cloud-based vehicular networks. Contributed submissions to this Special Issue may present novel ideas, models, methodologies, system design and architecture, experiments and benchmarks for performance evaluation pertaining to vehicular cloud networks. This Special Issue also welcome relevant research surveys. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · Service architectures in Vehicular Clouds: Network as a Service (NaaS), Storage as a Service (STaaS), and Cooperation as a Service (CaaS). · Vehicular Clouds: System architectures, platforms, and testbeds. · Cloud-assisted vehicle communications. · Mobile vehicular social networks. · Mobility analysis and vehicle traffic analysis in Vehicular Clouds. · Networking to reduce energy consumption in Vehicular Clouds. · V2V or V2I protocols in Cloud-based vehicular networks and communications. · Wireless access virtualization and resource management in cloud-based vehicular networks. · Security and privacy issues in Vehicular Clouds. *Submission Format and Guideline* All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

Complex Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures, critical dependencies and unforeseen cascading effects can worsen single hazard events to a threatening crisis of several entire infrastructures. With the dense population in urban areas along with the critical dependency on infrastructures, such crises become a serious threat to the safety and security of citizens and industries. When the "unforeseen" happens, public security comes to its limits Whether cyber, natural or industrial disasters - effective risk management must be a continuous process that recognizes new threats and opportunities, in particular in relation to new technological evolutions. Internet of Things (IoT) will have an enormous impact on our future infrastructures. In the context of safety and security this is at the same time a challenge (How can we design secure and resilient IoT infrastructures?) and an opportunity (How can we use IoT for better safety and security?). In particular in urban environments, the increasing deployments of IoT technologies and the rapid proliferation of sensored and automated cities are opening up new avenues of threats and opportunities toward public safety and security. Although we have seen various deployments of diverse IoT systems, our understanding of these systems and their implications in the context of safety and security has just scratched the surface. The Second International Conference on Safety and Security with IoT (SaSeIoT 2015) aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of IoT in the context of Safety and Security. The conference solicits original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, researchers, designers, practitioners in academia, authorities and industry, and promises to offer a highly interactive forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices primarily in the following main application oriented themes: * Ensuring the resilience and security of IoT dependent infrastructures The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to: - Models, methods and tools for testing IoT infrastructures - Design of resilient IoT infrastructures - Detection, prevention, response and mitigation of cyber threats to IoT - Trust and identity management in IoT - Security protocols in IoT - Risk analysis and management for IoT infrastructures - Threat modeling in IoT * Using IoT for crisis and emergency management The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to: - IoT for threat and hazard detection - IoT for situation-awareness - IoT for crisis and emergency response - IoT for command & control - IoT for emergency forces * Privacy in IoT * Security and IoT Cloudification PAPER SUBMISSION Regular Papers should be up to 12 pages in length. Short papers up to 4 pages in length. Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found on the conference web site at: http://securityiot.eu/2015/show/initial-submission Papers will be judged on originality, correctness, clarity and relevance. Submitted papers must be original work and should not be under consideration for another conference or journal.Submission of the paper implies agreement of the author(s) to attend the conference and present the paper if accepted.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Vincenzo Mancuso <vincenzo.mancuso(a)IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 18. Mai 2015 10:56:04 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Elsevier PHYCOM S.I. on D2D-based Offloading Techniques Fast approaching deadline: May 31st, 2015 CFP webpage http://www.journals.elsevier.com/physical-communication/call-for-papers/spe… Scope of the Special Issue The Device-to-Device (D2D) communication paradigm was first proposed for cellular relaying, although it has been later proposed for a large variety of applications, such as opportunistic routing, peer-to-peer, content distribution, and cellular offloading. Indeed, the recent emergence of the D2D paradigm paves the way towards improving the performance of cellular networks by means of novel opportunistic architectures, e.g, based on LTE-Direct and WiFi-Direct technologies. This special issue will focus on theoretical research contributions presenting new techniques, concepts or analyses, and applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments with D2D-based offloading systems. In particular, within the general framework of D2D communications and cellular offloading, we solicit manuscripts that present original and previously unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: PHY/MAC architectures; Opportunistic offloading; Opportunistic medium access; Spectrum management; Resource optimization; Energy minimization; Security and privacy; Interference management; Coding and decoding methods; MAC protocol coexistence; Scheduling; HetNets; M2M communications; Vehicular communications; Content distribution architectures. Timelines Submission deadline: May 31, 2015 Acceptance deadline: September 30, 2015 Publication: December 2015 Guest Editors Dr. Vincenzo Mancuso IMDEA Networks Institute vincenzo.mancuso(a)imdea.org Dr. Omer Gurewitz Ben Gurion University of the Negev gurewitz(a)cse.bgu.ac.il Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

CHANTS 2015 - ACM MobiCom 2015 Workshop on Challenged Networks: Online Submission is Open !
by Karin Anna Hummel 15 May '15

15 May '15

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * *** NEWS: ONLINE SUBMISSION OPEN ! *** * * CHANTS 2015 * 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks * * http://www.acm-chants.org/ * (co-located with MobiCom 2015) * * Paris, France * September 11, 2015 * * Submission due: May 25, 2015 * Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chants2015 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ========= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. Challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, and opportunistic and participatory sensing. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE’s D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the nine previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work, including studies of real deployment. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. All papers shall be forward looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network coding in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, IoT) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing. PAPER SUBMISSION ================= Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Reviews will be single blinded.
