Yet, several studies have shown that smart devices are frequently co-located in proximity to at least one other device throughout the day, suggesting that devices can potentially collaborate to reduce the effort of resource intensive tasks, e.g., sensing, offloading, networking, storage, etc. However, merging the resources of multiple devices to work together is a tough challenge as it requires a common understanding of the context of each device. In addition, since smart devices function in multiple roles, understanding what really constitutes context becomes difficult as different types of contexts need to be modeled depending on the type of task. Context information is critical in multi device setups, e.g., for the formation of collaboration groups, and for negotiating responsibilities between the devices. Any misunderstandings in context can thus be extremely counterproductive for the collaboration between devices. Consider, for example, a computational task, e.g., game puzzle, whose execution can be accelerated by dividing computations between two or more devices. To distribute the task, we first need to understand the processing capacity of each device to ensure devices with insufficient resources are not harnessed for this task as they would turn into bottleneck for execution. By detecting the context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. The goal of PerCrowd 2018 is to explore the impact of context in collaborative and opportunistic computing. More in detail, the goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within a community of devices for optimizing their energy and performance. Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and collaborative self-organization of devices are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware collaborative systems and applications - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications - Opportunistic context modeling - Pervasive computing applications harnessing multiple devices - Data-driven techniques for community formation - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Crowdsensing and crowdsourcing models for data acquisition and fusion - Applications of crowdsensed models, e.g., incentive models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for collaborative systems - Lessons and experiences of evaluating multi device context-aware systems and applications - Emerging applications for multi device environments. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2018 Workshop Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM TOCHI Call for Papers: Special Issue on Human-Building Interaction Datum: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 13:00:00 -0400 (EDT) Von: Ken Hinckley <pubs(a)acm.org> An: wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE Call For Papers <http://www.acm.org/> *CALL FOR PAPERS* ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) /Special Issue on Human-Building Interaction/ Guest Editors *Hamed Alavi*, University of Fribourg and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) *Elizabeth Churchill*, Google, Mountain View *Mikael Wiberg*, Umea University *Denis Lalanne*, University of Fribourg *Peter Dalsgaard*, Aarhus University *Ava Fatah gen Schieck*, UCL, Bartlett School of Architecture *Yvonne Rodgers*, University College London & TOCHI Editorial Board ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Information for Contributors* Built environments increasingly incorporate interactivity and context-aware automation. Human-Building Interaction (HBI), as an emerging research field, seeks to develop an HCI lens to the vision of our interactive experiences with built environments. A special issue of TOCHI on Human-Building Interaction invites research contributions that examine the engagement of HCI in the evolution of buildings and urban spaces. In particular, we solicit articles that pursue the new coordinates that HCI should take into account when shifting attention and scale from "artefact" to "environment." For example, the investigations on the occupant comfort across multiple dimensions (e.g., thermal, visual, acoustic, respiratory), the discussions of the interplay between user agency and building automation, the reflections on the immersive and durable user experience design, and so forth. We seek contributions that address these and similar topics that embody the complexity of human's individual and collective experiences with and within the built environment. The invited topics include technological innovations, ethnographic studies, as well as conceptual and framing contributions. Between the lofty and mundane discourses of interactive architecture and connected products lies considerable space for grounded research and reflective discussion. This special issue invites attempts to capture, share, and expand what is already known, what is contested, and what are opportunities for a common scientific grounding for prospective dialogues and discourses in the area of Human-Building Interaction. It will serve both as a unifying stage for the existing voices that are centrally and peripherally working on HBI, and a platform for the research area to move forward. *The HBI special issue is interested in questions including (but not limited to) the following:* * How can HBI designers reconcile the complexity of human decisions with the efficiency that the automation systems promise? What services do we expect the building to provide seamlessly, and where do we want to retain the manipulation control, and through what interaction modalities? * What are the UX design challenges in creating buildings that can adapt to their occupants' contextualized needs and preferences? * Surveillance is increasingly common to provide security. How does the need for surveillance interplay with the privacy concerns which are especially elevated in inhabited environments? * What can we learn from the comfort literature in the scholarly domain of architecture, and how can an HCI perspective complement and (possibly) correct the current comfort discourses? * In what ways can built environments support and take advantage of social and cultural diversity? * Are architecture and interaction design methods and processes compatible? Concretely, how can a team of interaction designers bring their tools to an architectural project? *Submission Information* All contributions will be rigorously peer reviewed to the usual exacting standards of TOCHI.

Plan to submit your best papers to ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 (deadline 2017/10/6) and see you in Orlando, Florida, in April 2018, where IoTDI will be co-located with IEEE IC2E. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where the networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to this Internet of Things. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on a range of topics related to the Internet of Things. * Analytic foundations and theory of the Internet of Things * Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems * Novel protocols and network abstractions * Data streaming architectures * IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial Internet systems * Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms * Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications * Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends * Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues * Applications and drivers for the Internet of Things * Industrial deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned * Evaluation and testbeds General Chair * Chenyang Lu (Washington University in St. Louis) Program Co-Chairs * Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University of Technology) * Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Steering Committee Co-Chairs * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) * Hui Lei (IBM Watson Health Cloud) Finance Chair * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Publicity Co-Chairs * Simon Duquennoy (Swedish Inst. of Computer Science) * Mo Sha (Binghamton University) * Rui Tan (Nanyang Technological University) Poster Chair * Abusayeed Saifullah (Wayne State University) Demo Chair * Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology) Web Chair * Chao Wang (Washington University in St. Louis) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "census" group.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Access | Convergence of Sensor Networks,Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things Datum: Sun, 6 Aug 2017 10:14:53 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS Submission Deadline: 10 December 2017 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Convergence of Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things. With growing attention from both academia and industry, industrial internet of things (IIoT), comprised of a multitude of connected devices, is supposed to monitor, collect, exchange, analyze, and further instantly act on information to intelligently change the industrial device’s behavior or the industrial environment (e.g., autonomous reaction to unexpected changes in production by effectively detecting failures and triggering maintenance processes). In consideration of this goal, the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT is recently identified as an essential component. Specifically, sensor networks are deployed to capture various data in IIoT. Meanwhile, cloud computing platforms are developed to store and process data powerfully in IIoT. Moreover, big data analytics tools are utilized to glean valuable findings from the massive data in IIoT. However, to integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT in a robust way, there are a lot of tough issues to be solved with respect to various aspects (e.g., framework, power efficiency, security, quality of service, etc.). Therefore, this Special Section in IEEE Access aims to solicit original technical papers with novel contributions on the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT. Review or survey type articles will also be considered. Submissions should focus on the convergence (i.e., the contemporaneous utilization of at least two of the three technologies – sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT). Submissions that work on the experimental implementation of the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT are especially welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data gathering in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Green mechanisms that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data communication in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Security techniques that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data computing in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Quality of service enhancement methods that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data fusion in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Novel applications that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data mining in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.
