-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE IoT Journal SI on Fog Computing in IoT - Manuscript deadline extended to Nov. 30, 2017 Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 14:07:44 -0400 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, 2017 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to Nov. 1 - SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 21:39:59 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on IoT: Protocol Stack, Cross-Layer, and Power Consumption Issues Extended due date: November 1, 2016 Publication date: June 2017 With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, over 50 billion connected things in the world are expected by year 2020 and 40% of all world data will come from IoT devices and sensors (expected to generate a total of 129 yottabytes) - nearly reaching 90% of the world’s data created in the last 2 years. Things and devices forming IoT are a variety of microcontrollers (MCUs), special systems-on-chip (SoC), sensors and sensor networks. With this dramatic evolution in the types and volume of connected devices and the generated data from these devices, radio technologies need to accommodate the IoT device environments and characteristics, including different environments of “outdoor, indoor, urban, rural”, battery operated devices, form factors, and communication ranges. In addition, communication protocols should adapt to IoT service requirements for real-time and mission critical applications. Consequently, there is a need for smart radio technologies and communication protocols that support low-power and ultra-low power operation, multiple communication ranges, diversity of traffic ranging from 3 bytes of data for telemetry to HD video streams for surveillance, as well as indoor and outdoor environments. Some unique exemplary challenges include efficient service discovery between devices, sleep mode management, communication between devices, smart choice of the appropriate radio to use, application requirement, and power constraint. In this context, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, and Z-Wave emerge as short range and low power wireless communication technologies on one hand. On the other hand, cellular and sub-GHz communication technologies are also emerging within 3GPP and IEEE standards to allow for long coverage especially in rural environments but still facing low power challenges. Sigfox appears to provide a cellular system for devices continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. mmWave represents another opportunity for IoT communication and is being discussed within the 5G network framework working in higher frequency bands and providing very high throughput. Despite of all these radio technology evolution and advancement in communication protocols to satisfy IoT traffic and communication requirements, there is not yet a clear vision of how IoT radio and communication eco-system will look like by 2020 besides green communication. All these unique challenges demand great effort in academic, industry, standardization organizations, and governments. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on*Next Generation Wireless Technologies for IoT*. It will include various topics of interest, but not limited to: * Short, medium and long range radio access (RFID, NFC, DASH7, 4G, 5G, 6LowPAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, IEEE 802.15.4) * Smart sleep and wake up modes for IoT with efficiency and context awareness * Efficient transport and routing protocols for IoT standards and architectures (IETF, IEEE, ETSI, oneM2M, IoT6, IoT-A, ISA, ISO/IEC, IPSO, ITU-T, U2IoT) * Smart bandwidth utilization including network coding techniques for 5G * Wireless wearable and IoT communication architectures and systems * 5G heterogeneous wireless access technologies enabling low latency and low power IoT access networks * Standardization and regulation on mmWave usage in 5G and IoT * Edge networking in IoT including challenges for low power transmissions, security and privacy of cognitive radio * Near-zero energy and renewable energy radios for IoT and PHY/MAC layer techniques for long range low power IoT * Proof of concepts and experimental work on long range low power wireless technologies SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the/IEEE Wireless Communications/guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript tohttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM TCPS Special Issue on Dependability in Cyber Physical Systems and Applications Datum: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 09:30:04 -0400 (EDT) Von: Tei-Wei Kuo <pubs(a)acm.org> An: wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE Call For Papers <http://orange.hosting.lsoft.com/trk/click?ref=znwrbbrs9_6-112e9x3bda9x09793&> *CALL FOR PAPERS* ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) /Special Issue on Dependability in Cyber Physical Systems and Applications/ Guest Editors Md Zakirul Alam Bhuiyan, Fordham University, USA Sy-Yen Kuo, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Damian Lyons, Fordham University, USA Zili Shao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Introduction* Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a speedily emerging area that will cover every aspect of life in the near future. Semiconductors and the Internet have revolutionized and transformed our lives and how we interact with information, which has in turn led to the growth of information technology. Today we are in a CPS paradigm that will transform the way we interact with, and manipulate, physical systems. CPS represents a bold new generation of systems that integrates computing and communication capabilities with the dynamics of physical and engineered systems. Vast major investments are being made worldwide in developing this technology and its impact on the economy and social structure has yet to be realized. No matter how integrated cyber-physical worlds are to develop, there is no doubt that they must be "dependable". Increasingly, individuals, practitioners, and organizations have begun to develop or procure sophisticated CPS in whose /dependability/ of services they must have great confidence. Future CPS systems need to close the /dependability/ gap in the face of challenges in different circumstances and services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault/corruption/anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability/availability/sustainability/adaptability/heterogeneity/security/safety, and so on. Therefore, we have a wide open area of research to explore and exploit the challenges and immense opportunities in this dependable CPS arena. *Scope* This special issue focuses on bringing together current research ideas and techniques from researchers and practitioners belonging to a myriad of research areas, with the final goal of sharing their specific challenges and solutions for /CPS dependability/. More specifically, contributions related to /dependability/ aspects of CPS /applications/systems in practice/ are of interest. The scope for this special issue includes but is not limited to the following list: * Theoretical foundations of dependability in controlling/managing/monitoring in CPS * Architectural framework and design methodologies for dependable CPS * Dependable software platforms for managing CPS * Dependability issues in Big Data analytics for CPS * Dependability issues in Cloud-assisted CPS * Dependability issues in sensor network protocols for CPS * Fault models and fault tolerances in both cyber and physical subsystems * HCI models and HCI system failure and recovery * Cyber security, privacy, safety, availability/reliability issues in distributed CPS and applications * Dependability issues in CPS applications (including robotics, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, transportation, smart energy, smart civil infrastructure, and healthcare) * Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools for CPS *Evaluation Criteria* All papers submitted to this special issue will be evaluated according to relevance, novelty, and new contributions. Particularly, the paper must show enough evidence of contributions to CPS applications/systems in practice. *Schedule* * Manuscript submission due: March 15, 2017 * First-round pass notification: April 15, 2017 * First round of reviews complete: August 15, 2017 * Second round of reviews complete: October 15, 2017 * Final notification: November 15, 2017 * Target publication: 2017/2018 For further information, please contact SI.Dependable.CPS(a)gmail.com <mailto:SI.Dependable.CPS@gmail.com>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you do not want to receive future emails about publishing in ACM journals, send an email to mktg2(a)hq.acm.org <mailto:mktg2@hq.acm.org> with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject.

The featured topic of the 2017 edition of EWSN is dependability in systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, industrial wireless control networks, smart vehicles, and robots. We specifically welcome contributions that aim at making these systems more reliable, predictable, safe, and secure to enable critical applications that require guaranteed performance. Topics not related to dependability are equally welcome as long as they fall into scope of the conference, as described below. The conference solicits both full technical papers, and short papers describing validated early ideas. The conference proceedings will appear in the ACM digital library. New this year is that a specialized committee will select a subset of the papers appearing at the conference to be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. EWSN 2017 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) in all relevant areas of networked embedded systems such as Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Wireless Sensor Networks and their applications in domains such as Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories, Smart Cars, and Smart Health. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety, security) Embedded wireless networking from physical to application layer Wireless embedded computing platforms Operating systems, middleware, and services Programming paradigms, languages, and tools Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems Applications, deployment, management, and debugging Sensing and actuation Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones Mobility, localization, tracking Embedded data management and processing Interaction with humans Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics Please ask the program chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits. EWSN 2017 will also host exciting co-located events: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet (NextMote) http://www.ewsn2017.org/nextmote-workshop.html MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things http://www.ewsn2017.org/madcom-workshop.html Dependability Competition http://www.ewsn2017.org/dependability-competition.html *Submission instructions* EWSN 2017 is a highly selective conference. We will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process. We will also provide authors the possibility of a rebuttal before final decisions are made. Full paper submissions must have at least 8 and at most 12 pages. Short paper submissions must have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25".

IEEE/IFIP WONS 2017 - Call For Papers The 13th Annual Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services 21-24 February 2017 Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA http://2017.wons-conference.org/ Keynote Speakers: Nick Bambos (Stanford) Jean Walrand (UC Berkeley) Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor networks, the Internet of Things, cloud networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, underwater and intra-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. Finally, there are many application-specific challenges. WONS, now in its thirteenth edition, is a high quality forum to address these challenges. WONS aims to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment. This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems; from protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, application use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network technologies.
