From the perspective of power sector, V2G networks necessitate a careful management of the energy flow for charging/discharging a tremendous number of EVs, with the objectives of guaranteeing grid stability, improving energy utilization, and reaping potential arbitrage value. Meanwhile, as indispensable bridges for managing the EVs connected to the power grid and the associated energy flows in V2G networks, designs of efficient communication networks for facilitating V2G/V2V communications are indispensable. Such designs not only cover a wide range of important directions such as network infrastructures, cross layer communication protocols, signaling systems, quality of service! , and resource managements, but also need the integration of the emerging ICT technologies such as M2M (or D2D) communications, IoT networks, software defined networks. Moreover, driven by the growing security issues in cyber spaces, securing the operations and communications of V2G networks and protecting the privacy of EV owners will be of practical and timely importance. This special issue aims to provide a platform for sharing the recent research and development on V2G networks. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to the following: * Network Architectures and Topology Designs for V2G Networks; * Cross-Layer Communications Protocols for V2G Networks; * QoS Provisioning for V2G Networks; * Transportation Networks and V2G Networks; * IoT and M2M for V2G Networks; * Software Defined Networks for V2G Networks; * Narrow-band LTE for V2G Networks; * Security, Privacy, Integrity, and Trust for V2G Networks; * Big Data Analytics for V2G Networks; * Energy (Charging/Discharging) Managements for V2G Networks; * EV-Mobility Modeling and Managements for V2G Networks; * Autonomous Driving Vehicles for V2G Networks; * Distributed Energy and Storage Systems for V2G Networks; * Testbeds and Platforms for V2G Networks. ------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Policies: Articles should be tutorial in nature.

These applications consume high-level context data computed by processing and filtering numerous raw context data collected from the physical environment. Those applications are based upon cooperating services, which have to be designed and dynamically composed. For instance, those services manage heterogeneous context data, distribute both processing and flows of data, manage the quality of context for appropriate decision-making, enhance privacy of personal context data, and identify situations from data coming both from the IoT and from knowledge bases. Providing context-aware applications in the IoT necessitates the interaction of numerous heterogeneous services deployed in a multiscale complex distributed architecture. Topics of interest ================== - Middleware to transport and transform data from tiny sensors to context-aware applications - Composition and interoperability of IoT services - Distribution of IoT services among mobile devices, sensors and computers in the cloud - Complex Event processing for the IoT - Services on the cloud for the IoT - Middleware for context-awareness and location-awareness - Models and middleware to provide IoT services to context-aware applications - Testbeds for context-aware applications in the IoT - Semantic web services for the IoT - Discovery and capability matching for the IoT - Privacy and QoC (Quality of Context) aware capabilities for the IoT - Data management for the IoT - IoT platforms - Experiences of application development with middleware for the IoT Workshop co-chairs ================== Danny Hughes, Leuven University, Belgium Chantal Taconet, Télécom SudParis, France Sébastien Leriche, ENAC - University of Toulouse, France Thaís Vasconcelos Batista - Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil Contact: m4iot.2016 *AT* gmail.com Submission ========== The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard Style.
