These systems include real-time video/audio surveillance, remote e-health systems, intelligent transportation systems, and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and etc. Mobile edge computing, by placing various cloud resources (e.g., computational and storage resources) closer to smart devices/objects, has been envisioned as an enabling and highly promising technology to realize and reap the promising benefits of H-IoTs applications. However, the growing demands for ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and high reliability of the large number of H-IoTs applications has yielded a critical issue in mobile edge computing, i.e. the limited connections (such as connection capacity, bandwidth, or the number of simultaneously affordable connections) between mobile edge cloud and smart devices/objects. Multi-access mobile edge computing (MA-MEC), which actively exploits a systematic and adaptive integration of recent radio access technologies including 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi to enhance the access capacity of smart devices to mobile edge platforms, has been considered as a highly promising technology to tackle this issue. The evolution towards the architecture of ultra-dense small-cells in future radio access networks facilitates the MA-MEC, i.e., the densely deployed small cells can significantly improve the capacity and quality of the connections between smart devices and mobile edge cloud. Therefore, with the strength of multi-access for capacity-enhancement, the MA-MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits, such as i) ultra-low latency between smart devices and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications, e.g., the real-time indoor navigation and augmented virtual-reality, ii) privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge! cloud, and iii) big data analytics at the point of capture for IoT applications. However, the success of MA-MEC still requires tackling many new challenges. For instance, to efficiently exploit computation and storage resources at mobile edge nodes, a joint optimization of placement of computation/storage resource and cell-association with radio resource allocation is necessitated. Such joint optimization should be adaptive according to time-varying environments, e.g., the varying wireless channel states when users move across the cells and the dynamic computation/storage resource utilizations. Therefore, this Feature Topic (FT) aims at soliciting high quality and unpublished work regarding recent advances in MA-MEC, with the main focus on addressing the fundamental design issues in MA-MEC, and the emerging paradigms and testbeds that use MA-MEC.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACMIEEE IoTDI 2018 Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 09:05:54 -0400 Von: Mo Sha <gowustl(a)gmail.com> An: Undisclosed recipients <gowustl(a)gmail.com> -- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call -- ================================================================================ Call for Papers ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 http://conferences.computer.org/IoTDI/ Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. ================================================================================ Important (Preliminary) Dates Abstracts due: September 29th, 2017 Full papers due: October 6th, 2017 Author notification: January 15th, 2018 The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2018, IoTDI will be held for the third time and topics span the entire ecosystem revolving around IoT, such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, sensor networks, mobile devices, Internet architecture, middleware and numerous IoT applications. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPS Week. 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)
