Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2017 18:21:11 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:20:47 -0500 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies] --------------------- Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine --------------------- Feature Topic on Imminent Communication Technologies for Smart Communities http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/imminent-communication-technologies-smart-… --------------------- Scope: Most of the research and technological advancements have vitalized the ubiquitous information access and communication around the globe. The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities? What kind of education and training are required for citizens of such communities to take full benefits of the proposed architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make communities smarter? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Communities? In addition, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Community architectures and planning using WSN - The role of IoT in the planning of future Smart Communities - Smart management and services - Deployment of sensors and embedded devices - Smart homes, Buildings, Campuses, and Applications - The role of Cloud Computing in IoT-based Smart Communities - Big Data Analytics and Smart Communities - IoT-enabled devices and technologies - Real-Time data processing using Hadoop, SPARK, GraphLab, etc. - System, design, modeling and evaluation - Industrial applications of Smart Communities - Future Internet cohesion with applications for Smart Communities Guest Editors: Syed Hassan Ahmed, Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Datum: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 21:50:40 +0000 Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Antwort an: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME -------------- Ever-growing volume of data and information is being captured from systems, machines and devices and made available to IT systems. The information is processed on-the-fly enabling IT-based management systems to make decisions for real-time control of the manufacturing process. This data capturing and collection for IT systems is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). When adopted to the industrial automation systems where robustness, reliability, security and latency and jitters are highly desired performance requirements, it is often called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial communication systems today primarily consist of legacy systems such as HART, Foundation FIELDBUS, CAN and Profibus - well-working and established industry-specific networks installed in millions of systems. In the last decades, there has been a push for IP-based technology which has made Ethernet become a popular communication infrastructure. But to meet the stringent timing requirements of industrial applications, it has been necessary to implement real-time functionality. The communication plays a central role for the availability of all relevant information in real-time. Furthermore, it is indisputable that the mobility of objects involved in the production as well as the necessary flexibility of the production require wireless communication systems. The need for wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications. In order to fully exploit the potentials offered by wireless communication for monitoring, control and automation applications, there is a further need for time-constrained communication protocols that provide bounded latency together with high reliability or energy efficiency. In addition, wireless automation applications need to interact with legacy wired communications systems and provide equivalent levels of security and dependability. Furthermore, industrial settings are highly dynamic environments which call for the ability to adapt to changes in the operating conditions while still not violating the time-constraints of the applications. Given the above scenarios, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains, namely from factory automation to industrial process monitoring and control, from traffic, environmental, building and structural monitoring to mobile robotics, from vehicular communication to energy management and healthcare applications. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. The goal of this special section is to attract papers addressing the main research issues in design, development, adoption and applications of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Industrial Internet-of-Things. IIoT provides a great opportunity to new gains in flexibility and productivity but also challenges as to how to merge existing installations to these new technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture and protocol design for industrial IoT systems * 5G for future industrial automation * Security, safety and privacy issues in industrial wireless networks and applications * Deployment, integration and case studies of IWSN and IIoT * Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of industrial IoT systems * Embedded industrial IoT applications * Intelligent M2M Communications in industrial IoT * Cognitive IIoT * Cloud-based IIoT solutions The use of information technology also opens up new application areas for automation systems. Examples include but are not limited to: * Smart Manufacturing and Web-of-Things in the factory line * Process, Factory, Home and Building Automation * Smart grids / Smart metering * Industrial Robotics and Automation * Smart and Connected Health MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION --------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extension of IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Quality of Service (IWQoS) 2017 Datum: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 12:16:31 +0800 Von: Fangming Liu <fangminghk(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Fangming Liu <fangminghk(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ********************************************************* IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Quality of Service (IWQoS) June 14-16, 2017, Vilanova i la Geltru, Barcelona, Spain http://iwqos2017.ieee-iwqos.org< http://iwqos2017.ieee-iwqos.org/> **************************************************************************** Extended IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission deadline: Feb 28, 2017 Paper submission deadline: Mar 8, 2017 Poster and demos submission deadline: Mar 8, 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS Quality of Service (QoS) has long been the focus of communications and networking researchers worldwide. While traditional QoS research areas continue to attract much interest, recent exploration of Internet of things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, cloud services, industrial communication systems, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in service guarantees with QoS, and its related metrics of Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Knowledge Base Quality or, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology. For more than two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. IWQoS 2017 sets the goal to continuing to be a premier symposium and an international forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS 2017 covers both newest theoretical and experimental research papers. Besides regular papers, this year, IWQoS includes the Work-in-Progress track inviting papers presenting new talent, risky ideas, and new subjects to be discussed in a creative and inspiring atmosphere of the event. It is a lively forum to discuss work among each other and with senior researchers, with a special focus on work in progress, upcoming research challenges, and new directions in the field of QoS. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of services in Internet of things * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of mobile cloud services and fog computing * Quality of protection, user experience, security and privacy * Quality of services in software-defined networking * Quality of services in information-centric networking * Quality of services in DTN, mobile and next generation cellular networking * Quality of services in information-centric networking * Quality of service in physical networks * System dependability, availability, resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Robustness against security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies * QoS parsing, identification and control * Quality of software * Quality of experience in multimedia networks * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks, optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for future networks and computing systems with QoS in mind Regular Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be rigorously judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. Regular paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Work in Progress Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts not previously published or under submission elsewhere, offering new and unexplored, and, even untested ideas in related to QoS that present creative thinking, whilst at the same time opening new opportunities and research directions with high-risk-high-reward outlook. Doctorate students, and those with entrepreneurial ambitions are invited to present. Submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity, and potential. Work-in-progress paper submissions should be no longer than 5 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Reviewing will be double-blind for both categories of papers. Submissions must not reveal the authors’ names and their affiliations and should make all efforts to avoid obvious self-references and disclosures. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Accepted and presented papers for both categories, will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Papers for the two categories must be submitted electronically as PDF files, via EDAS.
