-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Fog/Mobile Edge Computing for Internet of Things: Applications and Architectures for Real-Time Analytics Datum: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:06:04 +0500 Von: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-posting] The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new Internet evolution that involves connecting billions of internet-connected devices we refer to as things. With the explosion of things (expected to be 50 billion devices by 2020), cloud computing is challenged in meeting the data processing and computational demands of IoT applications. An emerging approach is to move computation, data, and control from cloud to the edge of the network commonly referred to as Fog/Mobile Edge (FME). The FME enables IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve scalability and energy efficiency of IoT devices, and provide the means for contextual information processing, as well as mitigating the bandwidth burdens of the network. FME provides immense opportunities and capabilities such as geographical distribution, geolocation awareness and device context, support for mobility of devices and access to multitude of network interfaces (from 4G and 5G to Wi-Fi). Such features help satisfy the real-time processing requirements of IoT applications such as flood monitoring, disaster detection and management (e.g., earthquakes), and patient care. However, the massive mobility of IoT edge devices, heterogeneity in communication interfaces, new and emerging communication architectures (e.g., LTE, 5G), emerging network technologies (e.g., SDN, NFV), security and privacy concerns, processing capabilities/limitation of FME servers, and IoT Big Data demand new methods, architectures, and applications in order to realize the full potential of FME for IoT applications. This special issue encourages high quality submissions related to the provision and development of real-time analytics-based IoT applications that exploit the capabilities offered by Fog/Mobile Edge computing. In particular, it aims to examine the prospects and challenges that arise in developing novel Fog/Mobile Edge computing architectures and applications that can address the challenges highlighted earlier. We also welcome quality review articles, which cover gap analysis between the state of the art and the state of the practice in the above area. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - - New Fog/Mobile Edge computing architecture for data sensing and analysis - - Simulation and emulation of IoT application in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Algorithms and techniques for computation offloading from Cloud to Fog/Mobile Edge - - Context management in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Collaborative Fog/Mobile Edge computing in 5G networks - - Beyond LTE and 5G—new networking architectures, for example, SDN, network function virtualization (NFV) to support IoT applications - - Resource allocation in Radio Access networks to support data driven IoT applications - - QoS/QoE provisioning in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Secure network and service access in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Privacy preserved analytics in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Interference control, mitigation, and cancellation in Fog/Mobile Edge Computing - - Cooperative schemes and resource management for interference mitigation in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - New Fog/Mobile Edge data-analytics IoT applications and experiences - - Open issues, challenges, and future perspective of Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Utilization-awareness network schemes for Fog/Mobile Edge Authors can submit their manuscripts through the Manuscript Tracking System athttps://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/wcmc/fecit/.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine SI on Exploring Caching, Communications, Computing and Security for the Emerging Smart Internet of Things Datum: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 08:00:21 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS It is estimated that more than 50 billion devices will be interconnected by 2020, and the generated data traffic will grow by another 1000 times. The evolution of Internet-of-things (IoT) paradigm not only comes with challenges to the research and industrial communities on finding efficient solutions for massive connectivity, but also poses a profound opportunity to reshape the current IoT architectures by exploring the inherent nature of the huge number of smart devices with caching, communications, computing and security capabilities. Smart IoT cannot be simply regarded as an upgrade of current IoT by just adding to or replacing sensors/actuators/RFID tags in smart devices. It should be redesigned from the physical layer to the application layer in a bottom-up way. In the context of smart IoT, communication is essential to guarantee end-to-end connectivity. Together with communications technology, other features, such as caching, computing and security should be fully utilized to complement the current study of IoT. The resulting new structure, by utilizing these inherent features, may have a wider application over current infrastructure-based cellular networks and traditional sensor-based networks by adopting all these features. However, new features also create unexpected problems which can not be directly addressed through the traditional approaches designed for low-rate IoT systems. Thus, how to effectively utilize existing capabilities to address the fundamental challenges in smart IoT remains challenging. Despite the evolution of IoT, some fundamental problems are still open and require immediate investigation. This Feature Topic (FT) aims at providing timely and comprehensive overviews of the current state-of-the art in terms of fundamental theoretical innovations and technological advances towards exploiting smart caching, communications, computing and cybersecurity for smart IoT networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Smart mobile computing, edge computing, cloud computing for IoT Smart content caching, pushing, and distribution for IoT Advances in technology and architecture for smart IoT Smart data collection, sensing, caching, processing, aggregation, communication, and analysis for IoT Software-defined solutions and network functions virtualization for IoT Efficient resource allocation, QoS, and QoE of IoT Novel authentication, access control and intrusion detection for smart IoT Novel cryptography algorithms for content privacy for IoT Experimental results, prototypes and testbed of IoT Energy efficiency and energy harvesting in IoT Emerging IoT applications in 5G networks such as ITS, CPS, smart grid, smart city, smart health, etc. Standardization of caching, communications, computing and security of IoT.

To address the individual requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the Connected and Smart Vehicles field, there is a need to build up a new communication technology for the integrated solutions of vehicular communication and smart communications. The Connected Vehicles infrastructure can be of various models such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2E). Due to the rapid growth in the Connected Vehicles, many research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, appropriate scalable design of MAC and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to the changes in environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and evaluation and validation of Connected Vehicles’ protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. In addition, the information shared among Connected Vehicles is of great importance and it is not yet clear what kind of privacy policies will be defined for the ITS networks. > > This Feature Topic (FT) aims to emphasize the latest achievements to identify those aspects of Connected Vehicles and ITS networks that are identical to a traditional communications network in the broader spectrum. > > Feature Topic Focus: > > In this FT, we would like to try to answer some (or all) of the following questions: > > What will be the effect on Policy Making regulations when the connected vehicles will hit the roads? What are the privacy consequences with Connected Vehicles with Smart onboard peripherals? What kind of privacy policies will be defined for the connected vehicles and smart ITS networks? What kind of education and training are required for drivers and passengers of such connected and smart vehicles to take full benefits of the proposed communication architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make Connected Smart Vehicles more attractive? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Vehicles with networked hardware? In addition, the authors are expected to address state-of-the-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements in the following topics, but not limited to: > > - Intra-vehicle communication (vehicle-to-pedestrians, vehicle-to-portable, vehicle-to-sign, etc.) > - Network and system architecture for Connected Vehicles > - MAC protocols and channel management > - Physical layer and routing protocols > - Delay tolerant vehicular networks > - Real-time optimization system > - Modeling and theory > - Internet-of-Vehicles, smart sensors (infrastructure and vehicle based) > - Mobility management (Traffic models) > - Energy efficient vehicular communication > - Quality-of-Service for vehicular communication > - Future Internet in ITS and Networking Systems > - Information and Content-Centric Networking in Connected Vehicles Networks > - Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Devices > > IMPORTANT DATES: > > Manuscript Submissions Due: February 1, 2018 > Decision Notification: June 1, 2018 > Final Manuscript Submission: July 15, 2018 > Publication Date: October 2018 > > EDITORS: > > Syed Hassan Ahmed > University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA. > s.h.ahmed(a)ieee.org > > Jalel Ben-Othman > University of Paris 13, France > jalebeno(a)yahoo.fr > > Jaime Lloret > Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain > jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es > > Wael Guibene > Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA > wael.guibene(a)intel.com > > Ashfaq A.
