In most cases, vehicular accidents are caused by avoidable human error and improper driving practices. With recent advances in sensing technologies, self-driving, connected cars and autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more practicable. The sensor data contribution to the peer to peer (P2P) vehicle sharing system reduces occurrences of road accidents by the use of vehicle to vehicle (V2V) interaction, along with use of sensors for maintaining safe driving distances and pre-empting accidents. Sensor technology in connected cars also improves the overall driving experience by using vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) interaction. This enables warnings and precautions from a network of roadside units, functioning as stationary waypoints and relay warnings, precautions and information regarding availability of crucial services. Such information is particularly beneficial to users in remote areas where it cannot be obtained reliably through conventional communication channels. This Special Issue is focused on sensors and sensor systems for connected vehicles with emphasis on the whole range between modelling and applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Sensors for connected cars and autonomous vehicles • Emerging sensor technology for driverless cars • Sensors for Wireless On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) fleet management • Accurate Vehicle Location System Using Wireless Sensor Networks • Intra-Car Wireless Sensor Networks • Sensor interfaces for Peer to Peer (P2P) vehicle sensor data sharing • Sensor Interfaces for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) information exchange • Sensor interface compliance to communications protocols and standards, authentication and security requirements • Testing, evaluation and verification of sensor systems for connected cars • Safe, Secure and Infotainment Connected Cars • Anti-collision and alarming sensors, • Traffic regulation and transaction sensors • Sensor Data Processing • On-road video contents streaming delivery and traffic sensor management **Schedule** • Submission deadline: July 15, 2017 • Author notifications: October 20, 2017 • Final manuscripts due: December 15, 2017 • Publication: February, 2018 **Manuscript Submission** Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sensors by selecting "Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Datum: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 06:23:54 +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.

Fwd: The 1st ACM workshop FAILSAFE 2017 Call for Papers

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: The 1st ACM workshop FAILSAFE 2017 Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 09 Jun 2017 13:38:18 +0100 Von: michael.breza04(a)imperial.ac.uk An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -- Our sincere apologies if you receive duplicates of the call -- ============================================== Dear Colleagues, Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM FAILSAFE 2017. http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ We look forward to your submissions describing the challenges and struggles that you have faced and during real WSN deployments. Unique to this workshop, we will ask for submissions reporting the *failure* of actual embedded sensing system deployments complete with data where possible that can shed insight as to how the problems affected such sensor based systems and their goals. We want the failures, problems and glitches that wasted hours of researcher time; head scratching whilst trying to diagnose and fix subtle or unexpected bugs etc. This workshop focuses on the point at which the simulations and tests done in the lab are taken out into the field, and the previous assumptions fail. The overarching aim is to establish a process that encourages the refinement and development of a new science of sensor systems to enable reliable, maintainable deployments that last the life-times expected of them. The topic is important as the scientific problems that we face with IoT systems strike hard against the limits of our knowledge about how to organise, analyse, and adapt large, loosely-coupled, intercommunicating, and increasingly autonomous, distributed systems. This topic is timely because there is mounting pressure from various industries and government bodies to be able to place their trust in sensing based infrastructures for decision-making. This contention is supported by industry research showing the potential growth of the IoT sector. In this workshop we wish to: Share experiences of real IoT developments “in the wild”. Understand the differences between the theoretical performance of results and real +experiences. Map failure to causes and to explore the more and less obvious causalities. Produce a list of research findings and areas to prioritise for further investigation. The workshop scope includes: Real WSN/IOT etc. deployments that either experienced some, or ended in, failure, complete with data to show what failed and a detailed analysis of the causes of the failure and the lessons learned. Examples of a WSN or other sensor deployments that where either hacked or attacked in a nefarious way, with as much data and details as can be provided. Any practices or tools, along with methodology and description,that have evolved out of sensor system deployment failures that are used to prevent further problems and that can be shown to improve the success rate of Sensor System deployments. Privacy Issues: The organisers of FAILSAFE recognise that some information from deployments may have a sensitive nature or be under a non-disclosure agreement. In these cases, it is acceptable to anonymise any information as long as it does not inhibit the point or issues being presented in the work. If you have any queries about this at all, please contact the program chair Michael Breza (mjb04(a)doc.ic.ac.uk) for further advise and clarification. Important Dates: Submission Deadline, 15th August, 2017 Notification, 5th September, 2017 Final Version Due, 12th September, 2017 Workshop, 5th of November 2017

Datum: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 07:43:21 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM CoNEXT 2017 The 13th International Conference on Emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies December 12-15, 2017 Seoul, Korea http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2017/ + Abstract Registration: Monday June 12, 2017 + Paper Submission: Monday June 19, 2017 (hard deadline, no extensions will be given) + Notification of Acceptance: September 10, 2017 ***Call for Papers*** The CoNEXT 2017 conference seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer networks and its applications. We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order): + Big Data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements + Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays + Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures + Internet measurement and modeling + Innovative uses of network data beyond communication + Networking aspects of datacenters and cloud computing + Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures + Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability + Network, transport, and application-layer protocols + Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things and Smart Cities + Networking aspects of online social networks + Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications + Routing and traffic engineering + Security and privacy aspects of networks, protocols, and applications + Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking + Wireless and cellular networks We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission. ***Submission Instructions*** CoNEXT welcomes submission of both long and short papers (2-column, 10pt ACM format). Long papers are the more traditional and complete form to present technical work, and should be no more than 12 pages (and up to 2 additional pages for references). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for contributions whose novelty and impact show the same technical excellence, and whose description fits within 6 pages (with 1 additional page for references). Short papers will be reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of topics compared to long papers. Note that position papers, critiques of networking research, and ideas that are not yet fully complete or evaluated are a better fit for the HotNets workshop. We recommend that authors check both CFPs before submitting. ***Organization Committee*** + General chairs: Taekyoung "Ted" Kwon (Seoul National University) and Sue Moon (KAIST) + TPC chairs: Phillipa Gill (University of Massachusetts) and Marco Mellia (Politecnico di Torino) ***Important Note*** AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. + Official publication date: Friday, December 1st, 2017 Dr. Pedro Casas CoNEXT 2017 Publicity chair ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Sensors Journal- SI: Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling Datum: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 13:40:54 +0200 Von: Pranesh Vallabh <u12233049(a)TUKS.CO.ZA> Antwort an: Pranesh Vallabh <u12233049(a)TUKS.CO.ZA> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling* IEEE Sensors Journal ------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Scope:** Vehicular accidents are a major global problem, leading to human injury or death, damages to property, with financial and other impact on the general public. In most cases, vehicular accidents are caused by avoidable human error and improper driving practices. With recent advances in sensing technologies, self-driving, connected cars and autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more practicable. The sensor data contribution to the peer to peer (P2P) vehicle sharing system reduces occurrences of road accidents by the use of vehicle to vehicle (V2V) interaction, along with use of sensors for maintaining safe driving distances and pre-empting accidents. Sensor technology in connected cars also improves the overall driving experience by using vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) interaction. This enables warnings and precautions from a network of roadside units, functioning as stationary waypoints and relay warnings, precautions and information regarding availability of crucial services. Such information is particularly beneficial to users in remote areas where it cannot be obtained reliably through conventional communication channels. This Special Issue is focused on sensors and sensor systems for connected vehicles with emphasis on the whole range between modelling and applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Sensors for connected cars and autonomous vehicles • Emerging sensor technology for driverless cars • Sensors for Wireless On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) fleet management • Accurate Vehicle Location System Using Wireless Sensor Networks • Intra-Car Wireless Sensor Networks • Sensor interfaces for Peer to Peer (P2P) vehicle sensor data sharing • Sensor Interfaces for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) information exchange • Sensor interface compliance to communications protocols and standards, authentication and security requirements • Testing, evaluation and verification of sensor systems for connected cars • Safe, Secure and Infotainment Connected Cars • Anti-collision and alarming sensors, • Traffic regulation and transaction sensors • Sensor Data Processing • On-road video contents streaming delivery and traffic sensor management **Schedule** • Submission deadline: July 15, 2017 • Author notifications: October 20, 2017 • Final manuscripts due: December 15, 2017 • Publication: February, 2018 **Manuscript Submission** Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sensors by selecting "Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling".
