April 2016 18:15:16 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IoTIP-16, deadline April 06 [We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ================================================================== IoTIP-16 - 4th International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives May 28th,2016 – Washington, DC, USA In conjunction with IEEE DCOSS 2016 https://iotip2016.hds.utc.fr/ ================================================================== ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================== Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies IoT systems and components IoT for semantic web and personalization Tools for developing IoT applications Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT Device to device communications for the IoT Security and privacy control mechanisms Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT Mobility management Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability Object, device and service management RFID, sensors, actuator technologies Middleware Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) Test-beds and field trials Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html . Papers should be submitted through Easychair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotip2016 . All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section in IEEE Access: Recent Advances in Socially-aware Mobile Networking (Submission Deadline: July 31, 2016) Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 18:08:01 -0400 Von: Lei Yang <lyang55(a)ASU.EDU> Antwort an: Lei Yang <lyang55(a)ASU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-posting] [Please forward to anyone who might be interested] ======================================================= Special Section in IEEE Access * Recent Advances in Socially-aware Mobile Networking * http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ieee_ac… Submission Deadline: July 31, 2016 ======================================================= IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Socially-aware Mobile Networking. SCOPE ===== Mobile data traffic has been growing exponentially over the past few years. A report from Cisco shows that the mobile data traffic in 2014 grew 69 percent and was nearly 30 times the size of the entire global Internet in 2000. One of the primary contributors to the explosive mobile traffic growth is the rapid proliferation of mobile social applications running on multimedia mobile devices (particularly smartphones), and these sharp increases in mobile traffic (particularly from mobile social applications) are projected to continue in the foreseeable future. To meet the rapidly growing demand, regulatory agencies around the world (e.g., FCC, Ofcom and ETSI) are actively working on policies and regulations for dynamic spectrum access that are mutually beneficial to the cognitive radio devices and the licensed spectrum users of the under-utilized spectrum. As mobile networks by and large are designed and deployed to meet people’s social needs, people’s behaviors and interac! tions in the social domain will shape their ways to access mobile services. Therefore, there is an urgent need to integrate social elements into the design of mobile networks. Socially-aware mobile networks have emerged as a promising direction for future mobile networks. Socially-aware mobile network designs can improve shared spectrum access, cooperative spectrum sensing and device-to-device (D2D) communications, and have potential to achieve substantial gains in spectral efficiency and lead to significant increases in network capacity. In spite of the potential benefits of socially-aware mobile networking, many technical challenges still have to be addressed. For example, mobile users need to trust others to carry out effective cooperation, and a natural question to ask is that “how to leverage human social trust to enhance distributed spectrum access?” Moreover, since mobile users need to communicate potentially sensitive information (such as location) to neighbors and third party (like in D2D sharing), privacy and security protection are also important components in the design of socially-aware mobile networks. Inspired by the aforementioned attractive features and potential advantages of socially-aware mobile networks, socially-aware mobile networking has recently garnered much attention, but is still not well understood, and therefore requires more research efforts from both the academia and industry. This special issue will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to socially-aware mobile networking, so as to enrich the evolution of future mobile networks. TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Socially-aware dynamic spectrum access - Socially-aware cooperative spectrum sensing - Socially-aware D2D communications - Socially-aware information dissemination in mobile networks - Cooperative behavioral modeling in socially-aware mobile networks - Socially-aware protocols for mobile networks - Socially-aware power and interference management - Socially-aware resource allocation and optimization for mobile networks - Crowdsourcing in mobile networks - Trust and reputations in mobile networks - Cognitive and cooperative mobile networks - Privacy and security for socially-aware mobile networks - Mobile social sensing and learning - Prediction in mobile social networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.
