While the NSF grants are available only for full-time undergraduate and graduate students attending US colleges and universities (not necessarily US citizens or permanent residents), the ACM SIGMOBILE grants are available for International/US full-time undergraduate and graduate students. Priority will be given to students who will benefit from attending the MobiSys main conference and its co-located events, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. Underrepresented minorities and female students, as well as first-time attendees that do not have a paper at the conference, are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications for the Student Travel Grant should be sent electronically as a single PDF attachment to the Mobisys 2018 Student Travel Grant Chairs, at mobisys18stg(a)googlegroups.com <mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com>, by April 30, 2018. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys 2018 Student Travel Grant [US] if applicants are from US institutions. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys 2018 Student Travel Grant [International] if applicants are from institutions outside US. A complete application should consist of the student's CV, a short personal statement (maximum one page), and a supporting letter from the student's advisor. The supporting letter can be merged with the student application in the same pdf file (preferred option) or sent as a separate pdf file by the student’s advisor to the Student Travel Grant Chairs, at mobisys18stg(a)googlegroups.com. The student's short personal statement (maximum one page) should include: • The title of his/her accepted MobiSys work (conference/workshop paper, poster/demo, PhD forum) - if the student is an author. • A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date. • A description of areas reflected in the MobiSys 2018 program that would affect the student's research. • Importance of attending the conference to the student's research activities. • An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiSys 2018: airfare, hotel, and conference registration. It is anticipated that travel grants will partially cover these attendance costs. The supporting letter from the student’s advisor should include: • Confirmation that the student is in good standing. Note: We will accept applications from Ph.D., Masters, and undergraduate students working on relevant research problems. • The suitability of MobiSys 2018 program to the student's research area. • Ways in which attending the conference would benefit the particular student. • The strengths and potential contributions of the student. • A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the student applicant’s travel cost not covered by the grant. The MobiSys 2018 Student Travel grant committee will review applications, and the awards will be announced by May 7, 2018. The reimbursement amount will be capped at $1500 per student; student advisors are expected to cover the remainder of the travel cost. Items the travel grant can cover include conference registration fee, hotel expenses, and air tickets (recipients of NSF travel awards must use US flag carriers).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) Datum: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:33:49 +0000 Von: Ignacio Castro <i.castro(a)QMUL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Ignacio Castro <i.castro(a)QMUL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Are you a undergraduate/graduate student? Consider submitting your original research to the ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition by May 21, 2018. (apologies for multiple postings) ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) Introduction The ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research before a panel of judges and attendees at well-known ACM-sponsored and co-sponsored conferences. Winners of the ACM SIGCOMM SRC at SIGCOMM will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. The SRC, including a small travel budget for each participant, is sponsored by Microsoft Research. How does the competition work? The ACM SRC at SIGCOMM organizes two distinct competitions for undergraduate and graduate students. The timeline of the competition is as follows: 1. Pre-selection: Students submit their work as a poster/demo here. See eligibility criteria below. 2. 1st round "Poster session": The selected students register to the conference and present their work in front of the conference attendees. Specifications on poster size and content will be defined by the SRC chairs. Students are expected to discuss their work with evaluators who visit their presentation areas. Each evaluator will rate the student's visual presentation based on the criteria of uniqueness of the approach, the significance of the contribution, visual presentation, and format of presentation. The evaluation criteria used can be found under General Judging Criteria<https://src.acm.org/judging>. 3. 2nd round "Presentation session": A separate session is scheduled for semi-finalists to give a ten minute presentation followed by a five minute question and answer period. This session will be attended by the evaluators and any interested conference attendees. The top three finalists in each category will be chosen based on these presentations. 4. Announcement of Three Finalists In Each Category (Undergraduate and Graduate): This usually takes place at a well-attended session of the conference. Each student will receive their prize after the conference. The first place winners will compete in the Grand Finals, which takes place toward the end of the program year. 5. The Grand Finals: The undergraduate and graduate first place winners from all SRCs for the program year compete in the Grand Finals. More information here. Who is eligible? You have to submit a poster or demo abstract to SIGCOMM (Poster and Demo page<https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2018/cf-posters.html>). Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission, and be the lead student author of the project. If a graduate or undergraduate student is part of a group research project and wishes to participate in an SRC, they will be required to submit a separate write-up describing their individual contribution to the group research project if they are selected (we can decide whether we want the write-up to be submitted at the demo/poster deadline or later), and present it during the first and second round "poster" and "presentation" sessions (see the above section). Following the same spirit, in case of demo submissions, the student contributions should be clearly defined. Submissions must be original research that is not already published at another conference or journal (e.g., please do not submit your dissertation summary as your abstract). One of the goals of the SRC is to give students feedback on ongoing, unpublished work. Note that submissions based on work accepted at this SIGCOMM will not be considered eligible. The SRC does count as a presentation venue, and submitting the work that is being submitted at other venues would violate the ACM SIGCOMM duplicate submission policy. You can only participate in one ACM SIGCOMM SRC per year. Selected students must register to the ACM SIGCOMM conference. How to participate? The ACM SIGCOMM poster and demo sessions will also serve as an ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition. To enter the first stage of the SRC, submit a poster or demo abstract. SRC submissions should be at most 100 word abstracts. Submissions should not exceed the minimum between two (2) pages and 800 words. If a submission has multiple authors, please provide the name of your advisor or supervisor when submitting the paper. The candidate student should be the first author. While not mandatory, entrants are encouraged to submit a letter from their advisor/supervisors describing the specific contributions made by the student. Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions (students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates). Tick the corresponding box when submitting your work. A small travel supplement of 500 USD is made available to accepted SRC entrants; please also submit applications for travel grant support.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. This workshop builds on the success of the twelve previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing * Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks * Communication systems and networks for underground mining * Underwater communication systems and networks * Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Networking in polar regions * Millimeter Wave Networking * Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing * Mobile data offloading via challenged networks * Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing * Challenged networking in the Internet of Things * Challenged networking in Cyber-Physical Systems * Software-defined networking in challenged environments * Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks * Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks * Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks * Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments * Network coding in challenged networks * Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use * Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) * User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ General Paper Format: Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE PIMRC 2018 W5 - Workshop on Small Data Networks Datum: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:46:28 +0200 Von: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, you are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE PIMRC 2018 Workshop on Small Data Networks http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/ <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/> “Small data” refers to a rising paradigm in modern wireless networks, pointing to information exchanged by smart devices and sensors in the broad context of machine-type communications. Small data sets span typically from metering data and status reports to remote commands and data generated and transmitted within the IoT. They are generally produced by a multitude of devices which access the communication infrastructure sporadically, generating a massive amount of short packets that have to be received with high reliability, exploiting the available spectrum resources efficiently even in absence of coordination. In such a framework, the design of the network protocol departs from conventional approaches used for predictable and persistent data sources. Major changes have to be applied to the physical and the medium access control (MAC) layers to account for the sporadic nature of the transmissions, touching all basic aspects from signal detection, channel estimation, coding and modulation up to the medium sharing policies and possibly involving the higher layers of the communications stack. While traditional protocols treat interference as a waste and therefore are designed to avoid them, in recent years several innovative developments have been proposed, such as physical layer network coding and various techniques based on successive interference cancellation (SIC), where interference is instead embraced and creatively utilized. These developments have opened a completely new perspective for uncoordinated protocols, paving the way to dramatic performance improvements, and rendering the throughput of interference-limited channels competitive with respect to that of systems relying on predictable data sources. This is calling for new studies on the fundamental limits as well as on finding optimal ways of designing waveform, signal-processing algorithms, error correcting schemes and access protocols, and on theoretical tools to drive the system design. Research in the field is further buttressed by clearly defined market- driven goals from the industry, in the quest for highly reliable, highly efficient, low-complexity access solutions for a massive number of devices. The road towards 5G and more generally machine-type communications represent only some relevant application examples where upcoming research has the potential to leave a fundamental mark. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate new contributions to the topic, with emphasis on cross-layer interactions between the MAC and PHY layers of the protocol stack, as well as on the connections to coding and information theory. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fundamental limits on communications for small data sets • Channel coding and modulation for sporadic transmissions • Error control coding for ultra-reliable communications • Network coding in multiple access schemes • Successive interference cancellation in MAC protocols • Wireless access protocols for vehicular networks • Wireless access protocols for machine type communications, large-scale sensor networks, and IoT • Innovative techniques for 5G and IoT radio access networks • Efficient access schemes for short-packet communications • Energy efficient MAC-PHY spatial processing • Channel estimation and user detection for massive access Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit technical papers of their previously unpublished work.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Regular (full) papers (10 pt font in two-column IEEE format) should present novel perspectives and match with at least two of the topics of interest of the workshop. Papers are expected to be 6 pages long, yet submissions of up to 8 pages are allowed. Papers in excess of this limit will not be considered for review or publication. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS at: <http://edas.info/N24451> All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extended to 5 May 2018 - Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal (IF=3.04) -- Special Issue on Recent advances on Security and Privacy in Intelligent Transportation Systems Datum: Sun, 8 Apr 2018 07:24:52 -0400 Von: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Deadline Extended: May 05, 2018] Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal . Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-i… Scope and Motivation: ---------------------- The rapid evolution of communications technologies together with the variety and potential availability of network access mediums and service providers have led to the emergence of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). There is a large variety of ITS networks spanning from mobile ground networks, e.g. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) to aerial ground networks, e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. VANET is a kind of ITS networks where a vehicle is a connected car equipped with various communications technologies such as: Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and cellular networks (3G/4G). The purpose of VANET is to ensure a wide area coverage for all vehicles in scaling the network, thus achieving the always best connected paradigm where the best connectivity is offered to clients wherever they are and at any time. UAV is another kind of aerial ITS networks, which are used in military applications for target monitoring and engaging air to ground combats. It is also used in civil applications to explore inaccessible areas and deliver data to and from areas with no network infrastructure. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize ITS network; security and privacy is one of them since, on one hand, vehicles exchange sensitive data (e.g., accidents notification, coordinates of nuclear sites, etc.) and on the other hand they form a specific network with particular characteristics (frequent fragmentation and dynamic topology). This special issue covers studies and solutions that ensure ITS security and privacy. We encourage authors from the industry and academe to submit their original research works that will enhance our understanding and modeling of security, privacy, and attacks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Intrusion detection and response systems in ITS network. Intrusion prediction model in in ITS network Data Mining and Machine learning for IDS Cyber-attacks against ITS network Security metrics Secure localization in ITS network Lightweight cryptography technique Cyber-attacks modeling in ITS network Secure routing protocol Key management schemes in ITS network Privacy challenges in ITS Important Dates : ------------------ Manuscript Due: May 05, 2018. Acceptance notification: July 01, 2018 Revised paper due: September 01, 2018 Final manuscript due: December 01, 2018 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: March 01, 2019 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/. Authors should select “SI: SP&ITS2017”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and considered for the Best Paper Award.

We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics which include but are not limited to: * Big data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements * Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays, wide-area * Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures * Experience papers providing detailed technical insights into real-world deployments of novel networking technologies and systems * Internet measurement and modeling * Innovative uses of network data beyond communication * Networking aspects of data-centers and cloud computing * Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures * Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability * Architectures, designs, analysis, measurements of programmable data planes and in-network computing * Network, transport, and application-layer protocols * Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things, smart homes, and smart cities * Networking aspects of online social networks * Network economics * Network verification and validation * Novel applications of machine learning to networking * Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications * Routing and traffic engineering * Security and privacy aspects of networks, protocols, and applications * Self-organizing/driving, autonomous, and federated network systems * Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking * Wireless and cellular networks We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission.In addition to the main conference, CoNEXT 2018 will have a series of co-located workshops, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper awards. ========== Submissions ========== CoNEXT welcomes submission of both long and short papers (2-column, 10pt ACM format). Long papers are the more traditional and complete form to present technical work, and should be no more than 12 pages (and up to 2 additional pages for references). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for contributions whose novelty and impact show the same technical excellence, and whose description fits within 6 pages (with 1 additional page for references). Short papers will be reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of topics compared to long papers. Note that position papers, critiques of networking research, and ideas that are not yet fully complete or evaluated are a better fit for the HotNets workshop. We recommend that authors check both CFPs before submitting. ============= Ethical concerns =============Like SIGCOMM, CoNEXT accords great importance to research ethics. Specifically, authors must attest that their work complies with all applicable ethical standards of their home institution(s), including, but not limited to privacy policies and policies on experiments involving humans. Submitting research for approval by one’s institution’s ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient. The PC will have its own discussion of the ethics of that work whenever it has concerns about the ethics of a submission. Authors agree to be available at any time during the review process to rapidly respond to queries from the PC chairs regarding ethical standards. ======== Contact us ======== * If you have any questions please email the TPC co-chairs at: <conext18-tpc_at_ics.forth.gr> * Official CoNEXT Website: https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2018 --- Best Regards, Dr. Vasileios Kotronis and Hyun-chul KimCoNEXT 2018 Publicity Co-chairs <conext18-publicity_at_ics.forth.gr <mailto:conext18-publicity@ics.forth.gr>> [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.

Datum: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 16:35:40 -0400 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ACM Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (ACM SmartCitySecurity 2018) in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2018, Los Angeles, June 26-29, USA. Web: https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2018/workshop-smart-city-security.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates - Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2018 (Extended Deadline) - Acceptance Notification: May 2, 2018 - Final Paper submission: May 11, 2018 - Workshop Date: June 25, 2018 Workshop Co-Chairs - Danda B.
