First standardization efforts across all layers, by both IEEE and ETSI, have already borne fruit, allowing researchers to gain valuable insights into both the strengths and the shortcomings of current approaches. The U.S. Department of Transportation decided to introduce IVC until 2020 using IEEE 802.11p, while in Europe the decision is not met yet. The investment of European automobile manufacturers and OEMs into this idea is not only expressed in successful efforts to reserve dedicated radio spectrum harmonized across Europe, but is also reflected in numerous research ventures in cooperation with academia. However, the gathered knowledge is still fragmented, making it hard for new players to get into the game and affording even experienced groups only a restricted view on this complex field. The goal of this year's event is to give an interdisciplinary overview on recent research activities in the area of inter-vehicle communication (IVC) including results and work in progress. One guiding theme of this 5th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication is, but not limited to "Connected Mobility". Moreover, contributions addressing standardization activities, field trials, and use-cases are very welcome. We invite young researchers and their experienced colleagues to discuss about technologies, methods, and innovative mobility applications. Topics of Interest (not limited to) - Communication architecture, protocols and systems - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Applications and use cases of vehicular networks - Traffic management and flow optimization techniques - Resource management, sharing and allocation - Connected mobility issues (including vehicles, pedestrians, bikers, and bicyclists) - Autonomous driving - Cooperative safety functions - Electric vehicle applications - Security and privacy issues - Simulative performance evaluation and modeling - Simulation frameworks and tools - Real-world testbeds - Insights from measurement campaigns and field tests *** Submission/Venue *** This event will take place at the Engineering Faculty of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nuremberg.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys'17 registration due this Thursday Datum: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 21:01:23 -0500 Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Antwort an: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Hi all, The registration deadline of MobiSys’17 is only two days away! Make sure that you register your paper by this Thursday (Dec. 1st). =============================== ACM MobiSys'17 Call for Papers =============================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2017/ <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2017/> submission site: https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/ <https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/> MobiSys 2017 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 applications, networks and systems * Innovative mobile, mobile sensing, and mobile 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 and robotic wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Systems and networking support for Virtual and Augmented Reality * Applications of mobile systems in health, sustainability, and other domains * Non-traditional topics that bring new perspective to mobile computing Papers on work that is currently under review, 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 if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. 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 PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller 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 MobiSys 2017 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. 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 nonpublic 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). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. 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, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference. 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. Important Dates ================= - Abstract registration deadline: December 1, 2016, 11:59PM EST (Dec 1, 2016, 04:59AM UTC) - Paper submission deadline: December 8, 2016, 11:59PM EST (Dec 8, 2016, 04:59AM UTC) - Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2017 - Camera-ready due: May 9, 2017 Contact ========= If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Campbell (campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu <mailto:campbell@cs.dartmouth.edu>) and Deepak Ganesan (dganesan(a)cs.umass.edu <mailto:dganesan@cs.umass.edu>). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join our MobiSys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MobiSys <https://www.facebook.com/groups/MobiSys> Follow our MobiSys Twitter: https://twitter.com/acmmobisys <https://twitter.com/acmmobisys> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE IoT SI on Fog Computing Deadline Extended to Nov. 30, 2016 Datum: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 13:05:30 -0500 Von: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers - Manuscript Submission Deadline Extended to Nov. 30, 2016 IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue on Fog Computing in the Internet of Things Background and Motivation: Fog Computing is an emerging research area that targets on providing services and satisfying customers’ needs in the space between “Ground” and “Cloud”. In the current cloud-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) model, smart devices (such as sensors, smartphones) exchange information through the Internet (routers and/or servers on cloud) to cooperate and provide services to users, which could be citizens, smart home systems, and industrial applications. Even though the cloud based IoT model describes a uniform, concise, and scalable solution for supporting IoT applications, the deployments of IoT applications on cloud, however, are facing the challenges originated from economic considerations, social concerns, technical limitations, and administrative issues. In real world, things (which could be cheap sensors) generate lots of data. Moving these big data from the network edge (end networking devices) to the network core (cloud computing servers) and vis verse naturally brings the following issues: (i) it is expensive for moving the big data through the Internet; (ii) the cost is prohibitively high when storing the big data on clouds; (iii) the Internet access may be unavailable, unreliable, and slow; (iv) the Internet access might be congested by the big data transmissions; (v) the Internet based transmissions may increase the probability of information leakage; (vi) the large number of things, which may have less or no security protection, may be easily utilized by hackers to start DDoS attacks; (vii) the administrative team may question the security, the easiness, and the availability of managing the big data saved on clouds. On the other hand, clouds may not be always necessary for implementing IoT solutions. For instances: (i) data generated by things may only be valuable for a group of users who are closely located; (ii) existing infrastructures may still be good and scaling up could be achieved by local resource sharing; and (iii) local mass data storage is already sufficient; etc. There is no doubt that the big data generated by things is surprisingly useful. Fog consists of all the smart computing/sensing systems that are around us, tied together. Typically, it includes a small data center that is placed close to the things in IoT. Fog computing is probably the most promising technology to support IoT applications while simultaneously and successfully addressing all the aforementioned challenges and issues. It adds a new dimension to IoT model for meeting the customers’ needs such as fast connection, high security, easy for management, infrastructure reuse, off load core network traffic, and scale quickly. Fog Computing are expected to support a wide range of IoT applications, including device-to-device data sharing, wearable cognitive assistance, video editing and sharing, vehicular systems, and etc. To address the arising new challenges and opportunities, we plan this feature topic issue to help both industry and academia research communities better understand the recent advances and potential research directions on the converging paths of IoT and Fog Computing. The papers in this feature topic issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research and the grant challenges in various aspects of Fog Computing for IoT. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to the following: • Future services for Internet of Things via Fog Computing services and solutions • Fog Computing architecture for IoT • Technologies for supporting Fog Computing for IoT • IoT Business models for Fog Computing applications in IoT • QoS for Fog Computing and IoT services • Security and privacy for Fog Computing in IoT • Fog Computing management tools and services for IoT • Fog Computing for mobile health and augmented cognition • Data-centric approaches in Fog Computing for IoT • Network Function Virtualization for Fog Computing in IoT • Software Defined Networking for Fog Computing in IoT • Virtualization security and management for Fog Computing in IoT • Programming models and toolkits for Fog Computing in IoT • Mobility and connectivity for Fog Computing in IoT • Deployment and optimization of Fog Computing for IoT • Current and future standardization for Fog Computing in IoT • Load balancing and service selection in Fog Computing for IoT • Interactions between the Fog and the Cloud for IoT Manuscript Submission All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Gesendet: 19. November 2016 18:08:57 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys'17 CFP + submission website MobiSys’17 paper deadline (Dec. 8) is approaching. Please remember to register the paper by Dec. 1 on the submission website: https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/ <https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/> Look forward to your submissions! =============================== ACM MobiSys'17 Call for Papers =============================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2017/ <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2017/> submission site: https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/ <https://mobisys17.hotcrp.com/> MobiSys 2017 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 applications, networks and systems * Innovative mobile, mobile sensing, and mobile 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 and robotic wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Systems and networking support for Virtual and Augmented Reality * Applications of mobile systems in health, sustainability, and other domains * Non-traditional topics that bring new perspective to mobile computing Papers on work that is currently under review, 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 if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. 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 PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller 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 MobiSys 2017 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. 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 nonpublic 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). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Approaching: Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Datum: Fri, 11 Nov 2016 23:05:33 -0500 Von: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Journal. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement due to cross posting. CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Submission Deadline: 15/11/2016 Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. Aim and Scope: ------------------- Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network clos! er to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, certain challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). This Special Issue aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance as well as to seek for novel contributions that help mitigating the corresponding research challenges. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this Special Issue include but are not limited to: • FMEC real-time communication interfaces and protocols. • FMEC efficient communication techniques. • FMEC and D2D communication • FMEC security and privacy issues. • FMEC pricing and billing models. • FMEC support for VANETs and MANETs • Cloudlet based computing • Identification of incentives for FMEC service providers. • The future perspective for FMEC: Challenges and Open Issues. • FMEC Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques. • FMEC architecture features and evolution. • FMEC resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability. • FMEC resources monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism. • FMEC resources allocation and management. • Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. • FMEC virtualization. • Information Centric Networking (ICN) and FMEC • Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform. • Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of FMEC. • Security protocols in FMEC. Coherent list of topics: -------------------------- Papers must be tailored to the emerging fields of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing and explicitly consider recent deployments models, challenges and novel solutions. The Guest Editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ett) according to the timetable below.

As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Common sense and careful writing will go a long way towards preserving anonymity. Papers that do not conform to our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review. To be published in the IEEE SECON 2017 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chairs grant permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE SECON 2017 Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The organizers of IEEE SECON 2017 as well as our attendees expect accepted papers to be presented at the conference. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

While traditional QoS research areas continue to attract much interest, recent exploration of Internet of things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, cloud services, industrial communication systems, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in service guarantees with QoS, and its related metrics of Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Knowledge Base Quality or, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology. For more than two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. IWQoS 2017 sets the goal to continuing to be a premier symposium and an international forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS 2017 covers both newest theoretical and experimental research papers. Besides regular papers, this year, IWQoS includes the Work-in-Progress track inviting papers presenting new talent, risky ideas, and new subjects to be discussed in a creative and inspiring atmosphere of the event. It is a lively forum to discuss work among each other and with senior researchers, with a special focus on work in progress, upcoming research challenges, and new directions in the field of QoS. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Quality of services in Internet of things - Quality of cloud services and cloud computing - Quality of mobile cloud services and fog computing - Quality of protection, user experience, security and privacy - Quality of services in software-defined networking - Quality of services in information-centric networking - Quality of services in DTN, mobile and next generation cellular networking - Quality of services in information-centric networking - Quality of service in physical networks - System dependability, availability, resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks - Robustness against security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures - Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control - Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation - Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies - QoS parsing, identification and control - Quality of software - Quality of experience in multimedia networks - Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification - Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management - Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks, optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks - Energy awareness in communication systems - Design for future networks and computing systems with QoS in mind Regular Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be rigorously judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. Regular paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Work in Progress Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts not previously published or under submission elsewhere, offering new and unexplored, and, even untested ideas in related to QoS that present creative thinking, whilst at the same time opening new opportunities and research directions with high-risk-high-reward outlook. Doctorate students, and those with entrepreneurial ambitions are invited to present. Submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity, and potential. Work-in-progress paper submissions should be no longer than 5 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Reviewing will be double-blind for both categories of papers. Submissions must not reveal the authors’ names and their affiliations and should make all efforts to avoid obvious self-references and disclosures. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Accepted and presented papers for both categories, will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Papers for the two categories must be submitted electronically as PDF files, via EDAS. *EDAS submission: *https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22762&track=81483 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols Submission Deadline: Nov 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ssa_ene… IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols. The operation of modern electronic communication devices rely on constant energy sources such as DC power obtained from AC sources via AC to DC conversion or small chargeable/replaceable batteries. However, in some cases, providing constant energy source is not feasible. Due to the advancement in technology, energy harvesting technologies can be exploited to power-up the modern day electronic communication devices. These energy harvesting technologies rely on energy sources naturally present in the environment, such as solar energy, wind energy, and heat energy. Moreover, energy can also be acquired from the human body from movement of different parts of the body such as walking, heartbeat, movement of arms, just to name a few. All these energy harvesting technologies and techniques may satisfy the need of energy for low power communication devices and may enable the charging of electronic mobile devices anywhere and at any time. In this Special Section, we focus on the most recent advances in the interdisciplinary research areas encompassing the Energy Harvesting domain. This special section will bring together researchers from diverse fields and specializations, such as communications engineering, computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, bio-medical engineering, education sector, mathematics and specialists in the areas related to energy harvesting technologies.
