Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing Datum: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 15:46:18 +0000 Von: Bo Sheng <Bo.Sheng(a)UMB.EDU> Antwort an: Bo Sheng <Bo.Sheng(a)UMB.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing http://www.cloudbus.org/fog/icfec2018/ May 1, 2018 - May 3, 2018 Washington DC, USA Submission Deadline Nov 27, 2017 Notification Due Jan 31, 2018 Final Version Due Feb 14, 2018 The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm promises to make “things” such as physical objects with sensing capabilities and/or attached with tags, mobile objects such as smart phones and vehicles, consumer electronic devices and home appliances such as fridge, television, healthcare devices, as part of the Internet environment. In cloud-centric IoT applications, the sensor data from these “things” is extracted, accumulated and processed at the public/private clouds, leading to significant latencies. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for Cloud Computing resources from emerging applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), academics and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to micro data centres located at the edge of the network. These micro data centres are often closer to a user (geographically and in access latency) compared to the centralized cloud data centre. The aim of utilizing such edge resources is to off load computation that would have “traditionally” been carried out at the cloud data centre to a resource that is closer to a user or edge devices. This vision also acknowledges the variation in network latency from an end user to cloud data centre. Whereas the network around a data centre is often high capacity and speed, that near the user device may have variably properties (in terms of resilience, bandwidth, latency, etc). Referred to as “fog/edge computing”, this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments in addition to bringing computing resources closer to end-users. On the one hand, the development of Fog and Edge clouds includes dedicated facilities, operating system, network and middleware techniques to build and operate such micro data centres that host virtualized computing resources. On the other hand, the uses of Fog and Edge clouds requires extension to current programming models and propose new abstractions that will allow developers to design new applications that take benefit from such massively distributed systems. The use of this approach also opens up other challenges in: security and privacy (as a user now needs to “trust” every micro data centre they interact with), support for resource management for mobile users who transfer session from one micro data centre to another, support for “embedding” such micro data centres into devices (e.g. cars, buildings, etc.) The conference seeks to attract contributions covering both theory and practice of any of the aforementioned challenges, from the management software stack to domain-specific applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing - Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Programming models and runtime systems for Fog/Edge Computing - Scheduling for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Fog/Edge storage - Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures - Fog/Edge Computing applications - Latency/locality-critical applications - Legal issues in Fog/Edge clouds - Security and privacy – including support for new cryptographic approaches - Modeling Fog/Edge environments – e.g. using process networks, agent-based models, Peer-2-Peer systems, etc - Performance monitoring and modeling - Applications of Fog/Edge Computing Publication: Proceedings will be published through the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services. Paper submitted could be accepted as REGULAR paper (10 pages) or SHORT papers (4 pages), depending on the review scores. Special Issues: Authors of highly rated papers from ICFEC 2018 will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of the Journal of Software: Practice and Experience (SPE): Software Tools and Techniques for Fog and Edge Computing, published by Wiley Press. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

To address individual requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicular communication technology, there is the need to build up a new communication technology for integrated solutions of ICTS. Those commodities mentioned result in several types of vehicular communications, i.e., Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. Due to the rapid growth in this field, various research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, appropriate scalable design of MAC (Medium Access Control) and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to changes in the environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and an evaluation and validation of vehicular communication protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. To be more specific, the data retrieval in connected ITS’s itself is a great challenge in numerous ways. For example, the highly dynamic mobility of vehicles accelerates a plethora of research questions to be solved. Potential paper submissions are likely to exploit the connectionism and emergence of networking systems in various problem-solving methods in the ICTS and vehicular communications with a focus on the data retrieval. It may also outline essential challenges, proof-of-concept studies with a direct and simulated comparison to technical solutions, and mathematical models of communication principles. Possible topics of key interest are the following ones: • Intra-vehicle communication (e.g., vehicle-to-pedestrians, vehicle-to-portable, vehicle-to-sign) • Network and system architectures for ICTS • MAC protocols and channel management in ICTS • Physical layer and routing protocols for ICTS • Delay tolerant techniques and protocols for ICTS • Real-time optimization systems for ICTS • Modeling and theoretical proofs of communications in ICTS • Emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications with ICTS • Smart sensors and communications in ICTS • Quality-of-Service (QoS) & Quality-of-Experience (QoE) for ICTS • Information and Content-Centric Networking in ICTS • Data retrieval via software-defined ICTS • Performance evaluations of ICTS Special Issue Timeline Manuscript Submission Due: November 30, 2017 Author Notifications Due: January 31, 2018 Final Revisions Due: February 28, 2018 Publication: Summer 2018 Guest Editors Syed Hassan Ahmed, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA. sh.ahmed(a)ieee.org Ali Kashif Bashir, University of the Faroe Islands, Denmark. dr.alikashif.b(a)ieee.org Awais Ahmad, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea. awais(a)ynu.ac.kr Wael Guibene, Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA. wael.guibene(a)intel.com For any queries, please feel free to contact Syed Hassan Ahmed. ------------------------------------------------------ Syed Hassan Ahmed, Ph.D., MIEEE Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Karin Anna Hummel <karin_anna.hummel(a)JKU.AT> Gesendet: 17. November 2017 15:41:24 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys 2018 - Call for Papers MobiSys 2018 -- Call for Papers =============================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/cfp/ MobiSys 2018 seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile systems, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations. We also welcome work that explores new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications as long as the work goes well beyond providing an initial vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems - Innovative mobile, mobile sensing, and mobile crowdsourcing apps - Tools for building and measuring mobile systems - Innovative wearable or mobile devices - Novel software architectures for mobile devices - Data management for mobile applications - Infrastructure support for mobile computing - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Operating systems for mobile devices - Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web - Security and privacy in mobile systems - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - Vehicular and robotic systems - Systems and networking support for virtual or augmented reality - Applications of mobile systems in health, sustainability, and other domains Non-traditional topics that bring new perspectives to mobile computing papers whose contributions overlap with work currently under review elsewhere must not be submitted to MobiSys. Papers whose contributions overlap with an earlier published paper will be considered only if (1) the previous paper was published (not just accepted) at a workshop at least 6 months before our submission date and (2) it adds significant new contributions over the previous paper. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. MobiSys uses a double-blind review policy during the initial paper review. Authors are instructed to not include their names, affiliations and contact information on the manuscript they submit for review. Authors should also anonymize the content of their paper to hide their identity. Reviewers will not know the identity of the authors during the initial phase of the review process, however, anonymity will expire after the majority of the reviews have been submitted and preliminary outcomes decided. The identities of the authors will be revealed to the reviewers toward the end of the review process. Submissions who are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Best Paper Award ---------------- All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference. Video Presentation ------------------ The authors of each accepted paper will submit a 1-minute video that presents their papers' contributions to a general audience. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. Some of the videos will be featured on the social media channels related to the conference. Important Dates --------------- Abstract Registration: December 1st, 2017, 11:00 PM PST (this corresponds to Dec 2nd, 2017, 07:00 UTC) Paper Submission: December 8th, 2017, 11:00 PM PST (this corresponds to Dec 9th, 2017, 07:00 UTC) Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2018 Camera Ready Deadline: May 4th, 2018 Conference: June 10-15, 2018 Contact ------- If you have any questions, please contact Stefan Saroiu (ssaroiu(a)microsoft.com) and Prabal Dutta (prabal(a)berkeley.edu) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Caching (December 1st) Datum: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 06:20:26 -0500 Von: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, please see the CFP below for a forthcoming JSAC Issue on Caching for Communication Systems and Networks. ------------- The ever-increasing volume of data traffic and the proliferation of services with stringent performance requirements constantly outpace the capacity upgrades in wired and wireless networks, and challenge their performance and their economic viability. At the same time, recent developments, such as the advent of SDN and NFV technologies, the deployment of multi-tier wireless systems, and the novel interplay of caching with physical layer techniques can create novel opportunities for reducing this demand-supply gap. In this new era, it is imperative to systematically revisit the role of caching for a variety of reasons: (i) storage becomes an increasingly low-cost resource, in stark contrast with other resources (e.g., spectrum), and can be embedded in equipment of various form factors in large amounts; (ii) novel network architectures emerge such as 5G+ systems and hybrid wired-wireless designs; (iii) new business models appear with Over-The-Top service providers deploying their own infrastructure or cooperating with network operators; (iv) the needs of users are rapidly changing, consuming huge amounts of content on their mobile devices and generating their own content; (v) social networking platforms are heavily affecting network operation creating additional value but also congestion. Storage and caching can play a fundamental role in this emerging era in communication systems and networks, by increasing the performance of the offered services, reducing operating and capital expenditures, and enabling innovative and game-changing business models. This special issue therefore invites submissions of high-quality original technical and survey papers exploring the role of caching in communication systems and networks, including the following non-exhaustive list of topics: Information-theoretic caching analysis: (i) Fundamental limits of caching; (ii) Coded caching design with practical constraints; (iii) Receiver and source memory-enhanced communications; (iv) Scaling laws of cache networks. Caching in next generation wireless systems: (i) HetNet and device-to-device caching; (ii) Edge caching, cooperation and femtocaching; (iii) Joint caching with scheduling, routing and utility maximisation; (iv) Secure caching, privacy preservation. Content caching and delivery: (i) Design of elastic CDNs; (ii) Algorithms for storage and content placement; (iii) Novel aspects of video caching and streaming; (iv) Caching economics; (v) Caching models for ICN. Data analytics for caching: (i) Analysis of request data, time-varying popularity models; (ii) Popularity estimation and prediction of viral content; (iii) Machine learning and optimisation for popularity incentives; (iv) Interplay of social networks and caching algorithms. ----------------- Authors should submit a PDF version of their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) through EDAS, according to the following schedule: Initial Paper Submission: December 1, 2017 Acceptance notification: March 7, 2018 Final manuscript submission: April 1, 2018 Publication date: Second Quarter 2018 ---------------- Guest Editors Giuseppe Caire Technical University of Berlin, Germany George Iosifidis Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Georgios S.
