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 The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference.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 *Submission Instructions* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] The 8th ACM MobiHoc 2018 Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018) Datum: Sat, 3 Mar 2018 17:19:10 -0500 Von: Sa ïd Yahiaoui <syahiaoui(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sa ïd Yahiaoui <syahiaoui(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS 8th ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018) June 25, 2018, Los Angeles, USA Health cost represents a considerable ratio in the economic budget of developed countries, and certain tendency studies are not optimistic about an improvement in the situation. Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring more or less care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. No doubt, using socio-medical establishments to place people at risk under surveillance is impractical for cost reasons, but also for reasons of quality of life. Many of these people are fully autonomous, though weakened. Their psychological confinement due to the presence of nursing staff would be a breach of their freedom. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipment like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would increase life standard. The objective is to develop and implement innovative solutions based on information technologies and wireless communication for the benefit of those needing medical permanence. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient’s data back to health care centres over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. Patients benefit from continuous ambulatory monitoring as a part of a diagnostic procedure, optimal maintenance of a chronic condition or during supervised recovery from an acute event or surgical procedure. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G/4G/5G and/or WiFi/HEW connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. MobileHealth workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas as an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The theme of the 2018 edition of MobileHealth is Improving the Smart Cities Citizens Healthcare. The Technical program topics include, but are not limited to: * Mobile devices for healthcare * Wearable and Implantable * Wireless sensors for healthcare * Communications and computing infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps * Protocols for wireless healthcare * Big data analytics * Realizations and Platforms * Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps * Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare * Service and device discovery * Data fusion and context elaboration * Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare * Standards for mobile healthcare * Energy Efficiency in wireless health monitoring * Pervasive healthcare systems and services * Authentication and sensors monitoring * Confidentiality and data security * Mobile interfaces for data visualisation GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Soufiene Djahel, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Syed Hassan Ahmed, University of Central Florida, USA TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Mahasweta Sarkar, San Diego State University, USA Zilong Ye, California State University, Los Angeles, USA STEERING COMMITTEE Saadi Boudjit, University of Paris 13, France Philippe Jacquet, Bell Labs Alcatel-Lucent, France Anis Laouiti, Telecom Sud Paris, France Paul Muhlethaler, Telecom Sud Paris, France Majid Sarrafzadeh, UCLA Wireless Health Institute, USA PUBLICITY CO-CHAIRS Youcef Begriche, Telecom Paris-Tech, France Said Yahiaoui, Cerist Research Center, Algeria TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Marwen Abdennebi, University of Paris 13, France Sasan Adibi, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia Saadi Boudjit,, University of Paris 13, France Syin Chan, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Zainul Charbiwala, IBM Research, India Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University, USA Avik Ghose Tata Consultancy Services, India Roozbeh Jafari, University of Texas at Dallas, USA Anis Laouiti, Telecom SudParis, France Gustavo Marfia, University of Bologna, Italy Hassine Moungla, Paris Descartes University, France Ertan Onur, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Amir Qayyum, CUST, Islamabad, Pakistan Kevin Stanley, University of Saskatchewan, Canada Sim-Hui Tee, Multimedia University, Malaysia Apinun Tunpsan, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand Egon L.

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.

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.
