-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP of ACM MobiCom, 29 Oct – 2 Nov 2018, New Delhi, India Datum: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 13:35:17 +0530 Von: Vinayak Naik <naik(a)IIITD.AC.IN> Antwort an: Vinayak Naik <naik(a)IIITD.AC.IN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/ ACM MobiCom the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless networking, seeks full papers describing significant research contributions in the systems design and implementation, practice, or theoretical aspects of providing users with an enriched and ubiquitous mobile or wireless experience. Papers addressing important challenges in access/communication, energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing form the core of the conference. We also invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: * Communications for Embedded and Energy-Harvesting Systems * Edge Computing * Long-Range/Low-Power Wide-Area Wireless Networking * Low-Latency Networking * Machine-to-Machine Communications * Millimeter wave and Terahertz Communications * Mobile Web * Next-Generation 5G mobile networks * Visible Light Communications * Mobile Data Science & Analysis * Mobile/Wireless Research & Cloud Computing * Mobile/Wireless Research & Software-Defined Networking * Sensing with Radio, Light, Sound, and Vibration * Wearable Computing Successful papers will address real research challenges through rigorous analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. All submissions must describe original research not published or currently under review for another conference or journal, and if accepted, papers will be published in the conference proceedings. MobiCom strongly encourages authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. In addition to full research papers as described above, MobiCom https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018 also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers MobiCom welcomes contributions that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Such submissions should be short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers. Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the MobiCom paper submission website https://mobicom18.hotcrp.com/ Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with the following requirements. You are strongly discouraged from violating these requirements with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed. You can visually inspect a page-by-page report of your paper format using the same tool as the submission system via a separate online form https://www.sysnet.ucsd.edu/sigops/banal/index.php After the submission deadline, we will use the same tool to check the conformance of papers. The format checking tool uses heuristics and can make mistakes. The PC chairs will manually inspect and possibly reject those papers with evident format violations. However, no paper will be rejected due to format violations without first being checked by hand. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be immediately rejected: * Full papers: Contain no more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed. * Experience/Verification/Challenge Papers: Contain no more than eight (8) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than eight pages will not be reviewed. * Font size no smaller than 10 points. * Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. * Submissions must be in PDF (Portable Document Format) authors should ensure that they are compatible with Adobe Acrobat (English version). Any other formats, including Postscript and MS-Word, will not be accepted. * Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches). * Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any embedded hyperlinks, as these may compromise reviewer anonymity. * Limit the file size to less than 15 MB: contact the PC chairs if you have a file larger than this limit. You may find these LaTeX https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/ 2018/files/sig-alternate-10pt.cls and MS-Word https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/ 2018/files/word-acm-10pt-on-12pt-7.0x9.25.doc templates useful in complying with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper checker) that your submission is format-compliant. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom18-pc-chairs (at) acm "dot" org Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the paper's presentation. We will also have a Best Community Paper Award. Among all accepted papers, the program committee will select one that contributes the most to the broader research community in terms of real data, or new software, hardware or other artifacts.

We are inviting submissions that describe significant research contributions to ICN as broadly defined. The fundamental concept in Information Centric Networking (ICN) is to provide the ability to access named information as a principal service offered by the network, evolving the Internet from today’s host based packet delivery towards directly retrieving information objects and invoking services by name in a secure, resilient, scalable, and efficient way. These architectural design efforts aim to address the challenges that arise from the increasing demands from accessing cloud resources, from accelerated growth of mobile devices and edge computing, from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT), and from the need to secure the global Internet. Papers pertaining to these and/or related fields are specifically encouraged. ACM ICN 2018 will be a single track conference focusing on current ICN research topics, featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations. Topics of Interest • Use of ICN for both legacy problems and novel use cases, including but not limited to: • Name-based access to fog/edge computing resources as well as to cloud services • Device and content mobility • IoT and CPS (e.g., industrial IoT, smart city, smart homes, vehicular communications) • Network layer, mobility and architecture: • Comparison of architectures, ICN styles and semantics • Interdependency of namespace design, routing, and resource control • ICN support for ad hoc and direct peer-to-peer communication • ICN for high-speed networking • Security: • Privacy, both generally and especially its interaction with caching • Trust management and access control • IoT and CPS-specific security considerations • Application layer, Evaluations and Testbeds: • ICN and application-layer messaging and stream processing frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Flink, QUIC) • APIs for transport, other higher-level abstractions, and their assessment • Experience from implementation, testbeds, and tools • Critical analysis of previous research in ICN, including reproducibility studies • Methodology and metrics • Translational Research: • Deployments of ICN • ICN for distributed computation, cloud-based services, edge computing, database queries, big data manipulation as well as ICN-mediated sensor/actuator control loops • ICN and in-network computation (e.g., NFN and related approaches) • ICN and SDN interactions • ICN-inspired applications and systems • Operations: • Business and Economic models and their effects on deployability • Management of ICN networks and systems • Caching and its interaction with I/O performance • Scalability analysis • Traffic Engineering • Implementation challenges and experiences • Line speed caching • Routing scalability • Congestion control • Zero configuration ICN Submission Details Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length (excluding references), following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length (excluding references): This format is suitable for less mature workshop-oriented work not ready for a full submission and for thought-provoking position papers. Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note that in order to ensure adequate citation of related work, extra pages of references are allowed (and encouraged). Submissions will be reviewed (single-blind review process) and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A “best paper award” will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper categories. The program committee may invite authors of non-accepted papers to present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract. Please note that ACM ICN 2018 also has a specific call for posters, demos, tutorials, and panel sessions. To submit abstracts and papers to the ICN 2018 conference, first carefully read the submission policies, the conflicts of interest, and the formatting requirements specified on https://conferences.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2018/submissions.php.

Also, feel free to broadcast/recirculate this notice to your colleagues and research network. The CfP is attached to this email, and more details can be found at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcmc/si/691674/cfp/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for PAPERS Special Issue on "Time-Critical Wireless Networks for Industrial Systems and Mobile Robotics" Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley & Hindawi) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission deadline: March 23, 2018 Publication date: August 20, 2018 Submission via: https://mts.hindawi.com/login/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recently, there has been increasing interest in areas like smart factories, process control, robotics, smart energy grids, etc. These entities can be regarded as complex real–life systems, composed of several collaborating computational agents surrounded by a suitable ICT infrastructure to effectively control time-critical physical processes. In particular, such a structure focuses on the intersection between the physical process and computation, where the former provides a feedback loop to the computational side, and vice versa. This kind of systems are often identified with the term Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To support this framework, the underlying communication infrastructure is required to provide definite and trustworthy performance, strong reliability and bounded latencies, while supporting self- healing and flexible network deployment. It is collectively recognized that high–performance wireless protocols will represent a breakthrough in future CPS, enabling the exploitation of an ad–hoc, rapid and adaptive connectivity while ensuring the required performance. Unfortunately, wireless communications are prone to disturbances and external interferences, and are often affected by non-negligible packet loss rates, random delays and jitter. Indeed, their actual low penetration in industry-grade control scenarios is mostly due to these long-existing challenges to meet the specific time-critical applications’ constraints reliably. A broad range of high–performance applications may benefit from the adoption of time–critical wireless communications, such as: industrial control and factory automation systems, mobile and cooperative robotics (e.g. robotic manipulation, vision), coordination and control of mobile computing agents (e.g. smart drones). In all these applications, the underlying communication network has to be able to steadily sustain a high sampling rate of the physical environment, a requirement that current wireless systems might not be able to meet. In the context of this special issue, several research areas reveals of paramount interest. Interoperability among heterogeneous systems and cost issues push toward the adoption of widespread commercial wireless solutions, such as IEEE 802.11-based ones, which are not specifically designed to support time-critical control applications. Efforts are hence imperative to dramatically enhance the communication performance of wireless systems in order to boost the actual sampling times in critical scenarios. This entails the design and exploitation of new protocols, architectures and algorithms to enable cooperation and control over wireless lossy channels. The development of effective real–time scheduling techniques are also envisaged for an efficient traffic management. Moreover, fields like coordination and vision over wireless are significantly impacted by these types of networks, and activities are required in this field to match the required and the available performance. The main aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research papers addressing the most recent advances in all the highlighted fields. Also, we encourage submissions of survey papers summarizing the state of the art in any of the related research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Algorithms, architectures, protocols, and standardization issues of wireless communications in time-critical scenarios * Modelling and simulations techniques in time-critical wireless systems * Cooperative networking * Medium access control, error control and channel resource management in wireless systems * Ultra-reliable and low-latency wireless systems in distributed CPS * High mobility, energy efficient and self-powered wireless systems in distributed CPS * Full duplex wireless and millimeter wave technologies for real-time communications * New advancement of 5G for critical control systems * Wireless communication issues in digital smart grids, intelligent transportation and critical healthcare systems * Networking issues of cooperative and autonomous robots. * Basics, prospects, and trends in future networked wireless mobile robots * Telerobotics and teleoperation for semi-autonomous robots * Wireless networks for telepresence robots * Coordination and vision over wireless Papers are published upon acceptance, regardless of the Special Issue publication date. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lead Guest Editor Federico Tramarin National Research Council of Italy, Padua, Italy federico.tramarin(a)ieiit.cnr.it<mailto:federico.tramarin@ieiit.cnr.it> Guest Editors Andreas Willig University of Canterbury, Canterbury, New Zealand andreas.willig(a)canterbury.ac.nz<mailto:andreas.willig@canterbury.ac.nz> Zhibo Pang ABB Corporate Research, Vasteras, Sweden pang.zhibo(a)se.abb.com<mailto:pang.zhibo@se.abb.com> Stefano Ghidoni University of Padua, Padua, Italy stefano.ghidoni(a)unipd.it<mailto:stefano.ghidoni@unipd.it> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Februar 2018 17:38:35 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IoT-SoS 2018 - Seventh IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services Dear Colleagues, The deadline for submission is approaching fast. We are looking forward for your submissions. Best regards, Marilia Curado Giacomo Tanganelli -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IoT-SoS 2018 Seventh IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018 <http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018> co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2018 June 12, 2018 Chania, Greece EDAS Submission Link: http://edas.info/N24373 <http://edas.info/N24373> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 12, 2018 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users' data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving "by design". The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Gesendet: 8. Februar 2018 18:45:02 MEZ An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: Call for Papers: 1st CPSBench Workshop (co-located with CPSWEEK) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems (CPSBench - co-located with CPSWEEK) April 10, 2018 - Porto, Portugal https://cpsbench2018.ethz.ch/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE Over the last decade, research on cyber-physical networks and systems has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as embedded and real-time systems, robotics and control, wireless communication and networking, signal processing, and machine learning. Despite these advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world cyber-physical applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in cyber-physical networks and systems research. The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems (CPSBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing cyber-physical networks and systems. CPSBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system’s perspective. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short position papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of cyber-physical networks and systems; - offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of experimental comparison; - report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (embedded systems, networking, control, robotics, machine learning, etc.); - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Accepted papers will be published as part of the CPSWEEK proceedings, which will be considered for inclusion in ACM Digital Library or IEEE Xplore. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single-spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication. All papers must be submitted through http://cpsbench18.neslab.it/.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) Datum: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 12:07:17 -0800 Von: Lei Jiao <jiao(a)CS.UOREGON.EDU> Antwort an: Lei Jiao <jiao(a)CS.UOREGON.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this.] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/ <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/> Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. The active research work on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Tasklet, ThinkAir, and MAUI) also support this vision. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 1st International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys '18 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis. The topics include but are not limited to the following: - System Architecture for Edge Computing - Communication and Computation Abstractions - Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services - Edge-driven Data Analytics - Novel System and Networking Design for Data-intensive Services - Edge Security and Privacy - Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing - Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies - Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics - System Performance and Measurement - Edge Networking and Communications - Edge-enabled IoT Services and Application Taxonomy - (Autonomous) Management for Edge Systems - Security and Trust Management Workshop and TPC Chairs: Aaron Yi Ding (TU Munich, Germany) Richard Mortier (University of Cambridge, UK) Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Henning Schulzrinne (Columbia University, USA) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Peter Pietzuch (Imperial College London, UK) Dieter Kranzlmüller (University of Munich / LRZ, Germany) Dirk Kutscher (Huawei, Germany) Technical Program Committee: Ardalan Amiri Sani (UC Irvine, USA) Aruna Balasubramanian (Stony Brook University, USA) Christian Becker (University of Mannheim, Germany) Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) Paul Francis (Max Planck Institute, Germany) Hamed Haddadi (Imperial College London, UK) Tim Harris (UK) Wenjun Hu (Yale University, USA) Pan Hui (UH/HKUST, Finland & Hong Kong) Marijn Janssen (TU Delft, Netherlands) Fahim Kawsar (Nokia Bell Labs, UK) Ilias Leontiadis (Telefónica, Spain) Shen Li (IBM Research, USA) Yong Li (Tsinghua University, China) Dongtao Liu (Google, USA) Jörg Ott (TU Munich, Germany) Oriana Riva (Microsoft Research, USA) Stefan Schmid (University of Vienna, Austria) Malte Schwarzkopf (MIT, USA) Sasu Tarkoma (University of Helsinki, Finland) Carmela Troncoso (EPFL, Switzerland) Liang Wang (University of Cambridge, UK) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chenren Xu (Peking University, China) Tianyin Xu (Facebook, USA) Ennan Zhai (Yale University, USA) Publicity Chairs: Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA) Mayutan Arumaithurai (University of Göttingen, Germany) Web Chair Vittorio Cozzolino (TU Munich, Germany) Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Wireless Communications SI on SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN THE WIRELESS INTERNET OF THINGS: EMERGING TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Datum: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 13:56:26 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS More details: https://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/cfp/security-privacy-in-wireless-interne… Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that involves a network of physical objects containing embedded technologies to collect, communicate, sense, and interact with their internal states or the external environment through wireless or wired connections. Most of the IoT devices have wireless capabilities (e.g., wi-fi, Bluetooth). With rapid advancements in IoT technology,the number of IoT devices is expected to surpass 50 billion by 2020, which has drawn the attention of attackers who seek to exploit the merits of this new technology for their own benefits. The exposure of resource-constrained IoT devices to the dangers of the Internet opens the door to a plethora of potential security and privacy risks to the IoT, such as attacks against IoT systems and unauthorized access to private information of end-users. As IoT starts to penetrate to virtually all sectors of the society, such as retail, transportation, healthcare, energy supply, and smart cities, security breaches may be catastrophic to the actual users and the physical world. Such threats may diminish the public confidence towards the adoption of the IoT technology. Although there are existing works that address the security challenges in network and distributed systems, we need to pay more attention the security and privacy challenges emerging from deploying IoT in practical applications with a special emphasis on the wireless IoT devices, infrastructures, wireless networking, and applications. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present and discuss technical challenges and recent advances related to security and privacy techniques for wireless IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Intrusion prevention, detection, and response for wireless IoT networks. Implementation, deployment and management of network security policies in the IoT. Cross-domain trust management in wireless IoT. Integrating security in IoT protocols: routing, naming, network management. Security for future wireless IoT architectures and designs. Secure crowdsourcing in wireless IoT. Secure wireless communication protocols in the IoT. Security and privacy of wireless IoT systems based on machine learning. Privacy and anonymity technologies for wireless IoT. Privacy in wireless IoT-based services and applications. Privacy in mobile and wireless communications for IoT. Privacy-preserving authentication in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving attack detections in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving data aggregation and analysis in wireless IoT applications. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/author-guidelines. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm.
