They are now characterized by numerous smart technologies that include sensors, wireless standards, and data analytics. Referred to as Automotive and Aerospace Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), these CPSes are going through massive transformation for increasing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of their operations. These CPSes consist of interconnected systems of heterogeneous components, which are always on, can operate autonomously and interact with the physical world seamlessly through their sensors. For instance, a commercial aircraft or a driverless car includes thousands of interior and exterior sensors and actuators on board to provide more efficient and reliable services. Similarly, many new communication standards have emerged within the last few years to provide communication among these sensors and actuators for various application scenarios. Manufacturers can now collect huge amounts of data through these sensors to apply real-time operations and accurately determine any hardware/software/communication failures. Nonetheless, the cyberspace of these automotive and aerospace CPSes provides numerous opportunities for malicious actors threatening the security and privacy of the vehicles/airplanes and their applications. Unprotected or improperly protected systems can be easily exploited for malicious use. Indeed, the automotive and aerospace CPSes are under the constant threat of an increasing number of cyber attacks through the sensory or wireless channels, hardware, software, or actuators. Given the growing number of security and privacy threats to the automotive and aerospace CPS, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications in automotive and aerospace fields can cause enormous damage to individuals and businesses. Therefore, this special issue of Journal of Hardware and Systems Security (HaSS) focuses on state-of- the-art research in the security and privacy of automotive and aerospace CPS.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "JeongGil (John) Ko" <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 22. September 2017 01:41:27 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] ACM HotMobile 2018 Call for Papers The 19th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2018) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 13-14 February, 2018 Tempe, Arizona, USA ACM HotMobile 2018, the Nineteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a "6-page conference paper". We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness HCI issues related to mobile computing Security and privacy of mobile computing Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. The deadline for submissions is October 12, 2017, 11:59pm EST. Acceptance notification will go out on December 15, 2017. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2018 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please contact the PC chair at arunab(a)cs.stonybrook.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

CALL FOR PAPERS Scalable Computing and Communications Special Issue on “Smart City: Challenges and Outlook” http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1608720/application/pdf/SCAC-CFP-S… SCOPE: Scalable Computing and Communications invites papers for a special issue on “Smart City: Challenges and Outlook”. Recently, as the future vision of urban development, smart city is attracting growing attention from both academia and industry. In particular, incorporating various information and communication technologies, smart city aims to offer many smart services (e.g., smart parking, smart street lighting, smart journey planning) for people. However, to achieve this goal, on the one hand, there are many issues to be coped with. For example, from the perspective of data, a variety of data generated by our city needs to be collected accurately, stored securely, and processed efficiently. On the other hand, with emerging computing technologies (e.g., social computing, edge computing, fog computing), there might also be new paradigms regarding smart city. Therefore, to address the challenges and outlook of smart city, this special issue solicits original technical papers with novel contributions on the challenges/outlook of smart city.

Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move. This data collection paradigm is often called crowdsensing, or crowdsourcing, and builds upon the willingness of users to share data together, which eventually gets aggregated to provide novel services to the community. Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI and QoE provisioning in pervasive computing and mobile crowdsensing are solicited. Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of QoI and QoE include: Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural principles Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification QoI-aware wireless sensor networking Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing for task mapping and scheduling Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration) Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and QoS QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and evaluation QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Energy efficiency in crowdsensed services and applications Protocols enhancement for crowdsensed services Social Internet of things Big data semantic Data science for crowdsensed services Opportunistic crowdsensed services Rewarding mechanism for crowdsensed services Crowdsensed testbeds and platforms Fog computing for IoT Heterogeneous data aggregation NLP techniques for crowdsensed services Machine learning techniques for data aggregation Machine learning techniques for data classification Privacy for crowdsensed data User behavior classification from public data User activity recognition User profiling Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).
