-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP Deadline Approaching] IEEE ACCESS Special Issue on Mission Critical Public-Safety Communications: Architectures, Enabling Technologies, and Future Applications (Impact Factor = 1.270) Datum: Wed, 31 May 2017 01:24:18 -0400 Von: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE ACCESS Special Issue on Mission Critical Public-Safety Communications: Architectures, Enabling Technologies, and Future Applications http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/mission-critical-public-safety-… Submission Deadline: 30 June 2017 INTRODUCTION Disaster management organizations such as fire brigades, rescue teams, and emergency medical service providers need to communicate with each other and with the victims by using mission-critical voice and data communication. In recent years, public safety agencies and organizations have started planning to evolve their existing land mobile radio system (LMRS) with long-term evolution (LTE)-based public safety solutions which provides broadband, ubiquitous, and mission-critical voice and data services. Third generation partnership project (3GPP) objective is to preserve the considerable strengths of LTE while also adding features needed for public safety. Moreover, 3GPP Release 13 has recently included the Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) functionality into LTE standard. Moreover, 3GPP has identified the device-to-device (D2D) communications as the key driver in emergency situations. The main motivation factor of considering D2D communications for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) and mission-critical situations is its capability of providing the emergency services by using network-assisted scenario or by acting as a relay to transmit information from one end to another end similar to the ad-hoc network. Core communication technologies and features which will support this network configuration include direct communication mode, MCPTT, full duplex voice system, group calls, talker identification, emergency alerting, and audio quality. The software defined radio (SDR) has the potential to support seamless interoperability by implementing multi-band radios and multi-service radios. Moreover, reinforcement learning schemes can dynamically adjust the network elements by considering quality of service (QoS) requirements of the public safety user s. Thus, this will lay down an interdisciplinary research agenda that combines broadband wireless networks, unmanned air vehicles (UAV) communications, SDR, reinforcement learning, cognitive and self-organizing communications, D2D discovery and communications, stochastic geometry, and energy and time efficient spectrum management schemes, into an integrated and synergistic framework. The main objective of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to bring most recent advances in public safety architecture and communication technologies to the readership of the journal. This Special Section will provide the opportunity for research communities across the globe to share their ideas on these newly emerging fields of public safety communications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: Public Safety Network Architecture Architectures for public safety networks Adaptive frames structure design for public safety networks UAV-based network architecture for public safety networks Moving cells deployment and backhaul design challenges for public safety networks Reinforcement-learning-based communication architecture for public safety networks Enabling Technologies and Future Applications for Public Safety Networks Cognitive radio technology for public safety networks Radio resource management for public safety networks Power control schemes for public safety networks Spectrum sharing and future spectrum requirements for public safety networks Routing and MAC protocols for public safety networks Cross layer protocols for public safety networks Physical layer issues for public safety networks Location detection technologies and protocols for public safety networks Stochastic geometry models for public safety networks 3D location detection protocols suitable for public safety networks Disaster resilient location detection protocols for public safety networks Robust location accuracy technology development to provide indoor localization using GPS Channel measurements and modeling for public safety networks Quality of service (QoS) and priority aware models for public safety networks Public safety networks optimization by targeting low latency applications Opportunistic offloading schemes for public safety networks UAV applications for public safety networks Reinforcement-learning applications in public safety networks Device-to-device (D2D) Discovery & Communications for public safety communication Multi-hop and relay-based communications for public safety communication Robust models for multi-hop synchronization for public safety networks Internet of things (IoT) applications in public safety communications Intra-Band Full Duplex communications for public safety communication Wireless power transfer for public safety communication Interdisciplinary research for public safety networks Software defined radio (SDR) testbeds and experiments for public safety networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

The IoT paradigm now covers several technologies beyond RFID and WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) and the application field expansion has exceeded expectations. According to Cisco IBSG (Internet Business Solution Group), more than 50 billion devices are expected to be connected to the internet by 2020 and 20 % of which are from the industry sector. Therefore, integrating the IoT concept and Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs) is an attractive choice for industrial process and is mainly needed to reap the full benefits of the IoT . Indeed, IWSNs are an emerging class of WSNs that face specific constraints linked to the particularities of the industrial production. IWSNs bring several advantages and have become inseparable from the manufacturing process due to their low-cost, reliability and robustness in harsh environments, energy efficiency and mobility. IWSNs involve large amount of wireless devices such as sensors for failure monitoring and detection and RFID tags for machine identification. Combining IWSN with IoT may optimize the operational efficiency, automation, maintenance and rationalization. Moreover, it ensures large scale interconnection between machines, computers and people enabling intelligent industrial operations. However, IWSN and IoT integration will need to solve a more complex challenge of combining reliable communications and low- cost computing together. The aim of this Feature Topic (FT) is to address together innovative developments resorting to the state-of-the-art technologies and ideas in areas related to advanced industrial wireless sensor networks and intelligent IoT. The FT is seeking latest findings from research and ongoing projects relevant to industrial networks’ smart integration with IoT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Intelligent Middleware for IWSN Integration - Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Energy Efficient Technologies for Industrial Networks interconnection - Cloud Computing for IoT over Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks - Big Data Analysis and Mining for IIoT *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/ commag/paper-submission-guidelines. The Guest Editors reserve the right to reject papers they unanimously deem to be either out of the scope of this Feature Topic or otherwise extremely unlikely to be accepted after a peer review process. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Article length (introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables and their captions) should not exceed 4,500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six (6). The number of archival references is limited to fifteen (15). All references to online sources (website URLs, web-posted papers and reports) are required to show an “Accessed on” date. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ commag-ieee) to the "February 2018 / Advanced IWSNs and Intelligent IoT" category by the submission deadline according to the following schedule: *IMPORTANT DATES* Manuscript Submission Deadline: July 1, 2017 Decision Notification: October 1, 2017 Final Manuscript Submission: November 15, 2017 Publication: February 2018 *GUEST EDITORS* Djallel Eddine Boubiche University of Batna 2, Algeria de.boubiche(a)univ-batna2.dz Al-Sakib Khan Pathan Southeast University, Bangladesh sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com Huiyu Zhou Queen's University, Belfast, UK h.zhou(a)ecit.qub.ac.uk Jaime Lloret Mauri Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es Seongik Hong Amazon Web Services, Boston, USA seongikh(a)amazon.com Syed Obaid Amin Huawei Technologies, USA obaid.amin(a)huawei.com Mohamed Ali Feki Nokia, Belgium Mohamed_Ali.Feki(a)nokia.com ============================================ -- *Al-Sakib Khan Pathan, Ph.D., SMIEEE* Editor-in-Chief (D), Int.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFC: 16. GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Sensornetze" - FGSN 2017* Datum: Fri, 19 May 2017 13:45:15 +0200 Von: Thomas C. Schmidt <t.schmidt(a)haw-hamburg.de> An: Thomas Schmidt <t.schmidt(a)ieee.org> Liebe Teilnehmer der letzten Fachgespräche Sensornetze, liebe Interessierte, das langjährig erfolgreiche KuVS Fachgespräch "Sensornetze" geht in die 16te Runde. Es findet am 07. und 08. September 2017 an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg statt. Wir freuen uns über Beiträge in Form von Extended Abstracts und Demo Proposals. Weitere Details finden sich im angehängten Call for Papers. Bitte leiten Sie den Call auch an interessierte Kolleginnen und Kollegen weiter! Mit besten Grüßen Thomas Schmidt Karl-Ragmar Riemschneider ****************************************************************** *Call for Papers – 16. GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Sensornetze" - FGSN 2017* Das Stichwort “Digitalisierung” ist heute allgegenwärtig. Ständig verfügbare Kommunikation hat zu einer Explosion der Möglichkeiten geführt. Im Internet der Dinge kommunizieren nun Geräte aller Art miteinander. Sie tauschen direkt und über das Internet Mess- und Regeldaten aus. Ein Zweig dieser Entwicklung sind Sensornetze, die eine Schnittstelle zur Beobachtung (Sensorik) und Beeinflussung (Aktorik) von Vorgängen ihrer Umwelt darstellen. Diese Kommunikation benötigt eigene, neuartige Strukturen. Obwohl die Anwendung drängt, sind noch nicht alle Forschungsfragen gelöst. Diese Herausforderungen spiegeln die Grenzfläche und das Zusammenwirken zwischen Messtechnik und technischer Informatik wider. Die Entwicklung dedizierter Lösungen und die Verwendung bestehender Standards stehen hierbei oft im Wettbewerb. Es wird zur Einreichung von Beiträgen u.a. aus den folgenden Themenbereichen aufgerufen: - Drahtlose Sensor-/Aktornetze - Mobile Ad-hoc- und Mesh-Netze - Automobilanwendungen - Transportation, Fleet Management, Traffic Management - Verteilte Systeme für das IoT, IoT-Protokolle und Standardisierung - Sensordatenerfassung und Crowd Sensing - Hausautomatisierung und Verteilte Energieanwendungen - Synchronisation und Fehlerkompensation - Energie- und ressourceneffiziente Sensorknoten *Beiträge* Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist der informelle Gedankenaustausch für Wissenschaftler aus Forschung und Industrie sowie die Stärkung von Kooperationen in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich. Im Rahmen des Fachgesprächs soll daher die Diskussion gegenüber der Vortragspräsentation im Vordergrund stehen. Beiträge sind in Form von Extended Abstracts einzureichen. Sie sollen 2-4 Seiten umfassen und im doppelspaltigen IEEE Transaction Format für Konferenzen in 10pt Schrift auf A4 verfasst werden. Das Fachgespräch ist offen für Beiträge, die bei anderen begutachteten Veranstaltungen publiziert wurden/werden. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht veröffentlicht. Alle Beiträge müssen als PDF über EasyChair eingereicht werden: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fgsn2017 Einreichung: 15. Juni 2017 Benachrichtigung: 20. Juli 2017 Anmeldung: 03. August 2017 Fachgespräch: 07. - 08. September 2017 in Hamburg Das diesjährige Fachgespräch Sensornetze wird an der HAW Hamburg ausgerichtet.
