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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MobiSys Workshop LocNet 2018: extended submission deadline Datum: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 22:58:55 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Workshop on Location Systems for Management and Control of Mobile and Wireless Networks (LocNet) at ACM MobiSys 2018, Munich, Germany *Submission deadline extended to March 23, 2018* ======================================================================== Wireless location systems have been studied extensively in recent years and are advancing at a rapid pace. State-of-the-art location systems now achieve very high levels of accuracy down to the decimeter-level and below, even without dedicated positioning hardware. Positioning data can bring dramatic benefits to mobile networks, not just for conventional data analytics and location-based services running over the network, but for the management and control of the network itself. Location information can be used to optimize resource allocation and network control decisions as networks become denser and support high-order MIMO and wider bandwidths, which allows devices to accurately measure the wireless environment. It is particularly relevant for emerging technologies such as millimeter-wave communication systems, where the antenna configuration, availability of paths, access points to associate with, and the data rate strongly depend on the location of the devices and on reflectors and obstacles in the environment. Location information can also be used, for example, for anticipatory networking mechanisms in mobile networks, where resource allocation decisions are based on the predicted future state of the network and users. Localizing terminals, people and things accurately and reliably allows to better deploy, provision, and manage mobile and wireless networks, thus increasing their reliability and scalability. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest developments in wireless location systems, their impact on network management and control to enhance the efficiency of communication networks, and the inherent technical challenges. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Location and positioning algorithms - Positioning in mobile networks - Millimeter-wave location systems - Visible light location systems - Anticipatory networking mechanisms based on location information - Network management and control based on location information - Network architectures and localization protocols to support use of location data - Localization and network optimization for IoT devices (including LoRa) - Joint millimeter-wave communication and radar - Wi-Fi, RFID, and other types of positioning systems - Backscatter localization - Location data fusion of cellular, WiFi and other technologies - Fusion with inertial sensors - Positioning systems with joint use of time, angle, and other observations - Location error modeling and measurement - Signal processing for location systems - Scalability of location systems - Energy efficiency of location systems - Experience from measurements and experimental results - Open testbeds for experimentation - Open-source location system implementations - Open-source location-based network management systems *Important dates* Paper submissions due: March 23, 2018 Notification of acceptance: April 18, 2018 Camera ready papers due: May 4, 2018 Workshops date: June 10/June 15, 2018 *Submission guidelines* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM Mobisys 2018 guidelines.

The special sessions are the following. GNSS Railway Session conveners: Juliette Marais, IFSTTAR (FR), Omar Garcia Crespillo, DLR (DE), Cosimo Stallo Radiolabs (IT) Railways already relies on satellite-based localization systems but mostly for non-safety related applications. However, driven by economic reasons, the use of these systems for more stringent services and, in particular, in signalling system is seriously investigated today and tested all around the world. The developments have made huge progress in the past years: from global demonstration of concept to the development of elements of the systems (hybrid localization units, integrity monitoring schemes, augmentation systems). A number of technical solutions have been developed and demonstrated. Some real advances are noticed, in particular, in the ERTMS framework, considering the use of GNSS-based virtual balises. But GNSS is also investigated for other services such as train integrity. The session will present the latest results and projects dealing with the introduction of GNSS in the railways. Papers are expected to focus on technical issues for performance enhancement as well as safety demonstrations, experimental results of GNSS reception characterization or operational system demonstration. New challenges in wireless communications for Railways Session conveners: M. Berbineau, IFSTTAR (FR), Ke Guan, BJTU (CN), José Soler, DTU (DK) To increase quality, reliability, safety and security of railway systems while increasing accessibility and productivity, we observe ever increasing fluxes of information between various stakeholders, central databases and field devices widely distributed along infrastructures and inside trains. This trend is accentuated by the development of automation and driverless systems and autonomous trains. Robustness, reliability, high data rate, spectral efficiency, optimization of radio resource usages, low latency and low energy consumption are of significant interest for railway applications. Evaluating the performance and new challenges of wireless communication systems requires radio channel models for numerous propagation environments and in very different frequencies (from 1 GHz to mmW for example). Furthermore, dedicated antennas need to be developed with adequate performance and placement. Innovative solutions at network level are also needed (heterogeneous handover, new architecture, scheduling aspects, etc.) and incorporation of new paradigms such as SDN or NFV, may impact current service offer and enable new ones. Safety and security are also strong requirements for wireless communications for railways including cybersecurity. The session will present the latest results and projects addressing these challenges. Maritime communications Session conveners: Michele Fiorini, EIT (IT) The purpose of the special session is to facilitate interactions between university researchers, students, start-ups, NGOs, SMEs, industries and administrations dealing within the maritime domain. The topics relevant to the session spans from systems (CSS, EZZ protection, AIS, satellite surveillance, e-NAV etc..) to services (SAR, VTS, VDES, Single Window -Port Management-, anti-piracy, etc..) and all combinations. Innovative concepts and practical applications are particularly welcome. Reliability of vehicular communications Session conveners: Jacek Rak, Gdansk University of Technology (PL) The purpose of this special session is to enable discussions among researchers from academia and industry on reliability of vehicular communications, which still remains an extraordinary challenge especially under unfavourable conditions. Special focus of the session is put on the issue of delivery of data to intended receivers in accordance to requirements of applications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission procedure: Authors are invited to submit regular papers (7 pages) or demo abstracts (2 pages), describing original, previously unpublished research or demos, not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Embedded and Mobile Deep Learning Datum: Tue, 6 Mar 2018 09:59:58 -0500 Von: Bowen DU <b.du(a)WARWICK.AC.UK> Antwort an: Bowen DU <b.du(a)WARWICK.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Embedded and Mobile Deep Learning WORKSHOP co-located with ACM MobiSys 2018 MUNICH, GERMANY - 15TH JUNE 2018 https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/deepmobile18/ CALL FOR PAPERS In recent years, breakthroughs from the field of deep learning have transformed how sensor data (e.g., images, audio, and even accelerometers and GPS) can be interpreted to extract the high-level information needed by bleeding-edge sensor-driven systems like smartphone apps and wearable devices. Today, the state-of-the-art in computational models that, for example, recognize a face, track user emotions, or monitor physical activities are increasingly based on deep learning principles and algorithms. Unfortunately, deep models typically exert severe demands on local device resources and this conventionally limits their adoption within mobile and embedded platforms. As a result, in far too many cases existing systems process sensor data with machine learning methods that have been superseded by deep learning years ago. Because the robustness and quality of sensory perception and reasoning is so critical to mobile computing, it is critical for this community to begin the careful study of two core technical questions. First, how should deep learning learning principles and algorithms be applied to sensor inference problems that are central to this class of computing? This includes a combination of applications of learning some of which are familiar to other domains (such as the processing image and audio), in addition to those more uniquely tied to wearable and mobile systems (e.g., activity recognition). Second, what is required for current -- and future -- deep learning innovations to be either simplified or efficiently integrated into a variety of mobile resource-constrained systems? At heart, this MobiSys 2018 co-located workshop aims to consider these two broad themes; more specific topics of interest, include, but are not limited to: = Compression of Deep Model Architectures = Neural-based Approaches for Modeling User Activities and Behavior = Quantized and Low-precision Neural Networks (including Binary Networks) = Mobile Vision supported by Convolutional and Deep Networks = Optimizing Commodity Processors (GPUs, DSPs etc.) for Deep Models = Audio Analysis and Understanding through Recurrent and Deep Architectures = Hardware Accelerators for Deep Neural Networks = Distributed Deep Model Training Approaches = Applications of Deep Neural Networks with Real-time Requirements = Deep Models of Speech and Dialog Interaction or Mobile Devices = Partitioned Networks for Improved Cloud- and Processor-Offloading = Operating System Support for Resource Management at Inference-time FULL PAPER SUBMISSIONS Solicited submissions include: full technical workshop papers, descriptions of work-in-progress, and white position papers. Maximum length of such submissions is 6 pages, and if accepted they will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library. Submission Deadline: April 2nd, 2018 – 11:59PM AOE [extended deadline] Author Notification: April 20th, 2018 POSTER/DEMO SUBMISSIONS Poster/demo abstracts are also welcome and encouraged. Abstracts will be limited to 2 pages but will only be published on the workshop website (not the ACM DL). Deadlines for poster/demo submissions will remain open until the early registration deadline for the MobiSys 2018 conference closes.
