On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Issue on "Emerging technologies in pervasive sensing" in Pervasive and Mobile Computing Datum: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 10:23:20 +0800 Von: Huan Zhou <zhouhuan117(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Huan Zhou <zhouhuan117(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Special Issue on *Emerging technologies in pervasive sensing* Pervasive and Mobile Computing http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-pa… Recently, due to the rapid proliferation of sensors and sensor-enabled mobile devices (e.g., ipad, smartphones), pervasive sensing has been widely used for various applications, such as environmental monitoring, intelligent transportation, city management, and social service. Pervasive sensing enables collecting and sharing information about mobile users and their surrounding environments, which promises to enhance the awareness of the cyber, physical, and social environment and thus provide essential supports, in forms of services, applications, and so forth, to our daily lives. More and more researchers started to investigate the potential of pervasive sensing in different disciplines. However, a diverse range of problems and challenges remain existent and need emerging solutions, especially on theoretical studies, practical applications, architectures, and experimental prototypes issues. The special issue aims at providing a forum for presenting the most recent advances on emerging technologies in pervasive sensing. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Architecture and framework design for pervasive sensing - Algorithmic paradigms, models, and analysis for pervasive sensing - Energy harvesting and management for pervasive sensing - Delay tolerant technologies for pervasive sensing - Security, privacy, and trust protocol design for pervasive sensing - Incentive mechanism design for pervasive sensing - Sensing data communication and sharing technologies - Big data analysis and management for pervasive sensing - Scheduling algorithm design for pervasive sensing - System/platform and prototypes development on pervasive sensing *Important Dates* Submission deadline: May 30th, 2016 Initial feedback to authors: July 30th, 2016 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 2017 *Submission Guidelines* All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select “SI: Pervasive Sensing”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Fwd: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems'

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:54:44 +0100 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)COMSYS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: RWTH Aachen University An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ***With apologies for cross-posting*** Call for Papers Workshop 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2016 30 September 2016 The ongoing mergers of formerly separate technical sectors may eventually change the whole standardisation landscape. Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process? Submissions ----------- Please send previously unpublished manuscripts to Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de.
