Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magzaine - SI on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability
by Lars Wolf 28 Feb '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magzaine - SI on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability Datum: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:56:02 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> Antwort an: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | IEEE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON | | Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: | | Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) - Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates - Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements - Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access - Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks - Interoperability among diverse wireless networks - Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network - Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability - Scalable cooperative communications and network coding - Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture - Scalable energy efficiency wireless network - Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture - Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks - Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines regarding manuscript content and format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2016 17:21:03 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email =================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Workshop on IoT-SoS: Internet of Things Smart Objects and Services* *in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2016 * *Coimbra, Portugal, June 21 - 24, 2016* *http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/* <http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/> =================================================================================== OVERVIEW =========== The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, three of the most important challenges are: (1) Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. (2) The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. (3). Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users’ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving “by design”. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work. Topics include, but are not limited to: • System architectures for the IoT/M2M • Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications • Modeling and simulation of large¬scale IoT/M2M scenarios • Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M • Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications • Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications • Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices • Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing • Testbeds for the IoT/M2M • Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT/M2M context • Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes and pilots • Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities IMPORTANT DATES =================== *Paper Submission: by March 10, 2016* Notification of Acceptance: by April 15, 2016 Camera-ready Paper Due: by April 29, 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ====================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

They enable a large scope of new applications that require all these objects to communicate, to interact, to share data and processes. All these objects have popped up from there to there, using their own communication means, OS or language. A key open issue to realize the full capacity of such concept is thus interoperability. How to make them fully compliant? This conference will present some current research and open issues in interoperability in IoT, ranging from virtualization to standardization.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [EASED] CfP EASED 2016 Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:54:10 +0100 Von: Stefan Naumann <s.naumann(a)umwelt-campus.de> An: Liste "Energy Aware Software - Engineering and Development" <eased(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> * Apologies for cross-postings * Dear colleagues, we want kindly invite you to the 5th Workshop “Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development” (EASED@EnviroInfo2016). Deadline for full papers: March 31 2016 Deadline for Work in Progress, Short Contributions and Posters: July 15 2016 More information http://enviroinfo2016.org/sessions/energy-aware-software-engineering-and-de… Workshop Goals and Topics Software-Engineering aims at developing and evolving software systems in an economic manner, considering project specific needs and quality goals. One of these quality goals, which become more and more important, is “energy efficiency of software systems”. Improving the energy consumption of mobile devices will not only increase the uptime and battery lifespan, it will also improve the carbon footprint. Viewing energy efficiency, is not only restricted to mobile devices, it also affects e.g. embedded systems and data centers, where energy is a major factor in costs and environmental burden. Next to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design, on operating system level, and by optimized code generation, software engineering techniques also contribute to optimizing energy consumption by improving software design: wasting energy can be avoided by e.g. removing energy code smells, improving data-base queries and storage methodologies, exchanging fast, but energy consuming components by slower but more energy efficient alternatives. The EASED workshop series on Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development, which will be held at EnviroInfo for the 5th time, focusses on the intensive presentation and discussion of methods and technologies to optimize the energy consumption of systems by improving the used software. Among others, these techniques include techniques * detecting energy smells, * optimizing code, * avoiding energy waste, * measuring energy consumption, caused by software, and * modeling software caused energy behavior of embedded systems. EASED@EnviroInfo requests for papers according the EnviroInfo paper style, e.g. presenting * online and offline approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the software related energy consumption of embedded systems and/or its components, * techniques validating improvement of energy consumption by these techniques, * models, metrics, or profiles representing the energy consumption of complex systems and their components like memory, CPU, bus systems, displays, communication interfaces, * approaches to derive energy models, metrics, or profiles from existing systems, * standardized procedures to compare and certify the energy consumption of software intensive systems, and experience reports on applying these techniques and procedures Proceedings of the workshop will be published within the EnviroInfo proceedings. Quality Characteristics and Workshop Management Workshop submissions will be handled by the EnviroInfo submission system. Submissions will be selected based on their scientific contribution to the workshop´s topics and their potential to stimulate intensive discussions on the energy-efficiency on software intensive systems. Format of the Workshop The EASED workshop series are carried out as discussion-intensive workshops, to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants, so discussions within the presentations are welcome. Next to presenting papers, further discussion sessions will be planned to set up and establish intensive collaborations between the participants, maybe to initiate further common research activities. Contributions Depending on your aims considering the publication of your work, we invite you to send us your abstracts or full papers according to the Contributions and Dates information page.

According to an "anti-Copernican" view, humans are put back at the centre of the "Internet universe", whenever they are in the loop of cyber-world services. Applications, middlewares, but even Internet services and network protocols are more and more designed incorporating Human Individual and Social Behavioural (HISB) models. This is particularly the case when users' personal devices are themselves the network, or provide services to each other such as in mobile self-organising networks, because devices become the "proxies" of their users in the cyber world. Interestingly, similar approaches are also explored in Internet technologies in developing scenarios, where users' participation is often exploited as another resource for networking services. This vision, that we call "the Internet of People" (IoP) generalises emerging concepts and technologies such as IoT, which put the emphasis on the communication between "machines", and adapt to the users' behaviour only as an afterthought. Designing IoP protocols, services and applications thus requires a profound inter-disciplinary approach, where "non-ICT disciplines" such as social sciences, cognitive sciences, economics, complex network sciences, impact the way Internet algorithms are conceived and defined. Note that other types of inter-disciplinary design patterns i.e., bio-inspired approaches where non-human natural behaviours are used as inspiration for network protocols and services, are out of scope. This workshop aims to stimulate research following this view, and aggregate an inter-disciplinary community of researchers around the concept of the Internet of People. Specifically, we seek papers presenting IoP approaches, addressing any layer of the canonical Internet stack or cross-layer combinations thereof, where the human behaviour is at the centre of the design. Also, we welcome submissions that analyse how the human behaviour is affected (and possibly modified) by the use of Internet systems, and how the latter can be improved or re-designed accordingly. The workshop will accept papers where quantitative evidence is available or quantitative approaches are applied. Therefore, purely methodological papers or qualitative analyses will be considered out of scope. Papers proposing novel, thought provoking ideas, possibly presenting preliminary results and analyses are also welcome. However, we do not call for position papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following - Networking IoP protocols based on HISB models - Information-centric IoP protocols based on HISB models - IoP services, service-composition and middleware solutions based on HISB models - Online Social Network services based on HISB models - Analysis and modelling of human behaviours in massively diffused Internet services, such as Online Social Networks - Complex network approaches to IoP - IoP protocols and services in developing regions - Privacy, security and trust mechanisms for IoP based on HISB models - QoE aspects in IoP - Human-centric, inter-disciplinary IoP solutions for IoT scenarios - Crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, pervasive sensing in IoP - Test and experimental results with IoP solutions - Architecture, design and implementation of IoP protocols - Modelling, analysis and characterisation of IoP solutions For any additional information please visit the workshop website at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/iopw2016/, or contact the workshop chairs at iopw2016 <at> iit <dot> cnr <dot> it BEST PAPER AWARD ---------------- IoP-W 2016 will grant a Best Paper Award sponsored by IFIP TC6.

Surrounding energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, etc., can be collected and stored for sustainable operation, leading to a new area: battery-free systems. Getting rid of batteries, nodes can be applicable to scenarios where nodes with large volume and limited lifetime are not preferred. Such battery-free systems have great potential to function autonomously, doing sensing and communications tasks without attended operation from human after deployment. The challenging issue lies in how to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes such that the system performance can be guaranteed. Since the energy arrival at nodes is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works have been done to design efficient energy management schemes. However, it is still pressing to design a new architecture that enables autonomous battery-free sensing and communications. The objective of this call is to bring more thoughts, effort, and applications in the related areas that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call include, but are not limited to: New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; Energy management for perpetual operation; New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; Resource management for autonomous operations; Operating systems for battery-free devices; Security issues in battery-free systems Emerging applications by battery-free systems Future directions for battery-free systems The manuscript must be original and has not been under submission in any other journals or conferences. The submission will only be counted if it is submitted via the Manuscript Central website and adheres to standard ACM TECS formatting requirements. The page limit of each submission is 25.
