-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Call for Competitors] 4th Dependability Competition at EWSN 2019 Datum: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:15:01 +0000 Von: Saukh, Olga <saukh(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at <iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Competitors 4th Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 25-27, 2019 - Beijing, China http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/call-for-competitors.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the first three editions, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in harsh RF environments. ******** FORMAT ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition will take place remotely and the final results will be announced during EWSN in Beijing. Remote preparation phase. After successfully registering to the conference, accepted contestants will obtain the credentials to remotely access the competition infrastructure. During the official preparation phase, all competing teams will have the possibility to test and optimize their solution for this year's competition scenario. In particular, contestants will be able to program all nodes in the competition infrastructure and download their serial output, as well as the evaluation results. The latter will be published on a leaderboard that will be visible to all other competing teams. Final evaluation phase. At the end of the preparation phase, each team needs to provide one single ihex binary file for each competition category. During the evaluation phase, this binary file will be used to extensively benchmark the performance of the competing solution. Competition abstracts. Each team will have the possibility to publish a competition abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM Digital Library. The competition abstracts will follow the same camera-ready deadline as the EWSN poster abstracts and are expected to include a description of the competing solution, as well as preliminary results and lessons learned from the preparation phase. Poster session. A poster session dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the main EWSN conference. All competing teams must present their solution in the poster session and will have the possibility to engage in lively discussions with the other conference attendees. Awards. The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session of the main conference. After receiving the award, the winning teams must hold a plenary short presentation about their solution, followed by a discussion session. ******** COMPETITION CATEGORIES ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition foresees two categories: Category 1: Data collection for condition monitoring. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes communicate to a single destination node over a multi-hop network (i.e., multipoint-to-point traffic). The destination node collects the data transmitted by all source nodes and forwards it to a control center for further processing. Category 2: Dissemination of actuation commands. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes needs to disseminate actuation commands to a specific set of destinations nodes in the network (i.e., point-to-multipoint traffic). Each source node is associated to a specific set of destinations (at most eight), which will be injected as input parameter into the firmware under test by the competition infrastructure. A detailed description of the competition scenario and evaluation procedure can be found on: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/competition-scenario.html ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All wireless communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing solutions: the demonstration of good use of well-known or previously-published protocols is strongly encouraged. The EWSN 2019 dependability competition will take place if at least five teams competing in the same category respond to this preliminary call for competitors. ******** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ******** Contestants must submit a short abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline. The abstract should prominently include the name of all members of the team, as well as their affiliation and contact information. Detailed information on the formatting requirements and the submission instructions can be found on: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/call-for-competitors.html ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Competition entry deadline: August 6, 2018 (23:59, AoE) - Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2018 - Preparation phase: from September 15 to November 30, 2018 - Evaluation phase: from December 1 to February 15, 2019 - Camera-ready abstract: December 31, 2018 - Awards and poster session: February 26-27, 2019 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) Markus Schuß (Graz University of Technology, Austria) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM UbiComp/ISWC 2018 Call for Demos (Deadline: July 6, 2018) Datum: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 17:14:58 +0900 Von: UbiComp '18 Publicity Chairs <publicitychairs-2018(a)ubicomp.org> An: publicitychairs-2018(a)ubicomp.org [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] ------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR DEMOS Submission deadline: July 6, 2018 ------------------------------------------------------ ACM UbiComp & ISWC 2018 8-12 October 2018 Singapore http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2018/ http://iswc.net/iswc18/ http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2018/cfps/demos.html # CALL FOR DEMOS Demos are an important part of UbiComp / ISWC 2018 program. They provide researchers with an opportunity to present their latest, cutting-edge research. Demos can cover preliminary or exploratory work within the field of ubiquitous and wearable computing, report about smaller projects or results that are still maturing towards a full paper submission, or present any other research that would encourage discussion. ## Already published in the past? It is OK to submit demos of research work that has been published elsewhere, however this should be explicitly made clear in the submission. In particular, we encourage demo submissions from authors of accepted Notes and Papers to complement their research publication at the conference. This allows attendees to get a hands-on experience of your innovation in addition to the technical presentation. ## Planning to publish in future? All accepted submissions will be included in UbiComp 2018 Adjunct Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. These are not considered to be archival publications; presentation in this venue should not affect the ability for researchers to subsequently publish this work in an archival forum as a conference/journal paper. All demos will be considered for the best demo award. An independent review committee will select the winner at the conference. # Demo Deadlines - July 6, 2018: Submission deadline - July 27, 2018: Notification of acceptance - August 10, 2018: Camera ready extended abstract deadline # What Role Do Demos Play At UbiComp? Demos are an integral part of the UbiComp conference. It is an opportunity for you to showcase your early implementations, prototypes work in-progress systems and even commercial products to a broad audience. It is your chance to engage the attendees and media representatives at a personal level and let them see, touch and experience the future of UbiComp. Whether you are coming with new what-if scenarios, developing new technologies or using existing ones in novel ways, your submissions are welcome. Demos should be brief and repeatable so that it can be efficiently shown repeatedly to a large number of attendees. We particularly encourage demos that people can interact with, have physical sensors or artifacts and in general keep the audience engaged. # What To Submit Your demo submission begins with a submission of a short video OR a 2 page abstract in SIGCHI Extended Abstracts template explaining your proposed demonstration scenario. The video should be 1-4 minutes in length and must clearly explain the demo concept. The primary purpose of the video or the short abstract is to communicate to the demo selection committee what the demo is about and whether it is a relevant fit for the UbiComp community. If you choose to submit a video, please note that your video must show a working version of the system (software or hardware). If you choose to submit 2 page abstract, it should convince the reader that the system works (pictures are highly encouraged). (You can even supplement your 2 page abstract with a short video, i.e. submit both an abstract and a video.) We understand that for many research prototypes, it may not always be feasible to demo the entire system (for example a system that requires sensors to be deployed throughout a home). In such instances, we encourage you to limit the scope of the system for the purposes of the demo and communicate clearly in the video or the abstract document how the demonstrated system is a small scale version of the overall innovation. Please note that the video can be of informal quality (it just needs to show the concept) as it will only be used for selection process and will NOT be archived and/or published publicly, unless you submit a video as part of the camera ready. Finally, as part of the first step, please also include the Demo Supplement Document containing a description of attendees’ interactions with the demo and technical requirements of the demo. Note that the conference will at minimum provide you with a space for your demo, including a table, chairs, and a power connection (230V 50Hz). Participants should bring any special equipment or devices such as power converters, projectors or audio amplification. # Extended abstract for accepted authors If your proposed demo is accepted, we require that you submit a 4-page extended abstract prepared using the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts template, by the camera-ready deadline. - Word: http://prior.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-paper-format-2016/vi… - LaTeX: https://github.com/sigchi # How To Submit Demos should be submitted electronically through the UbiComp Online Submission System (PCS) ( https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions ). Please select “SIGCHI” as Society, “Ubicomp 2018” as Conference/Journal and “Ubicomp 2018 Posters, Demos and Videos” as the track in the submission page. If you are submitting a 2 page abstract, please format your abstract title as “Demo: Title of the abstract”, so that it is recognized as a demo submission. If you are submitting a video, upload it as a supplement file at the submission portal. The review process will be single blind. Submissions must *NOT* be anonymized! For a video submission, author names and affiliations must be mentioned in the Demo Supplement Document. If you have any further inquiries, please contact pdvchairs-2018(a)ubicomp.org ------------------------------------------------------ UbiComp 2018 Poster, Demo & Videos Chairs Tadashi Okoshi, Keio University Chenren Xu, Peking University Rijurekha Sen, IIT Delhi ------------------------------------------------------------------------

GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze – FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/ Die Nutzung von Rechnern, Smartphones und entsprechender Kommunikationstechnik ist für die meisten Menschen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft Teil des Alltags geworden. Aber auch mehr und mehr Gegenstände können kommunizieren, Informationen bereitstellen oder gesteuert werden. In Sensornetzen, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical-Networks, ... kommunizieren nun Geräte verschiedenster Art und für verschiedenste Zweckr miteinander. In manchen Szenarien werden von Sensoren Daten gesammelt und an zentrale Stellen zur Weiterverarbeitung, Speicherung sowie Entscheidungsfindung übertragen. Bei Einsatz von Aktorik können dann auch Regelschleifen geschlossen werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden verschiedenste Techniken für die Sensorik, für die Kommunikation, für die Verarbeitung, für die Speicherung etc. Auch wenn schon seit etliche Jahren umfangreiche Forschungen in diesem Umfeld erfolgten, gibt es nach wie vor vielfältige offene Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Zudem bestehen sehr breite und unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche, die oftmals spezielle Anforderungen an alle einzelnen Komponenten stellen. So sind die Anforderungen zwischen Szenarien bspw. für Smart Farming, für Industrieanlagen oder für Smart Cities sehr unterschiedlich. Es wird daher zur Einreichung von Beiträgen zu den vielfältigen Fragestellungen des breiten Forschungsbereichs aufgerufen. Dies kann u.a., aber nicht ausschließlich, Themenbereiche beinhalten wie: - Drahtlose Sensor- und Aktornetze - Internet of Things - Cyber-Physical Systems und Networks - Device-to-Device communication - Mobile Ad hoc und Mesh Netze - Automobilanwendungen und Smart Vehicles in Networked Worlds - Transportation, Fleet Management, Traffic Management - Verteilte Systeme für das IoT, IoT Protokolle und Standardisierung - Sensordatenerfassung und Crowd Sensing - Hausautomatisierung und Verteilte Energieanwendungen - Smart Buildings und Smart Cities - Zuverlässigkeit und Performanzeigenschaften - Energie- und ressourceneffiziente Sensorknoten und Sensornetze - Werkzeuge für Test und Evaluation (Simulatoren, Emulatoren, Testbeds, ...) Beiträge -------- Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist der informelle Gedankenaustausch für Wissenschaftler aus Forschung und Industrie sowie die Stärkung von Kooperationen in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich.

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. Authors must register the abstract 1 week prior to the full paper submission. Demo/Poster Format: Demo and poster proposals will be published as part of the proceedings and must not be longer than 2 pages. For demos, an additional page must describe the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Submission: Reviews will be single-blinded.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Fwd: CfP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on,“Enabling a Smart City: Internet of Things Meets AI” Datum: Sat, 16 Jun 2018 22:21:54 +0200 Von: Prof. Dr. Adam Wolisz <awo(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Prof. Dr. Adam Wolisz <awo(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on “Enabling a Smart City: Internet of Things Meets AI” Future cities are to be not only an intelligent and green living environment but also providing human-centered public services at a lower cost. The Internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are two cornerstone technologies enabling smart cities, and have been interacting with each other into an organic ecosystem. Some particular joint points where IoT meets AI are intelligent IoT devices, smart sensing boosted by AI, and IoT big data mining with AI. The trend of “IoT meetings AI” has already cast significant impact on the aspects characterizing a smart city. Smartphones are able to learn the touching pattern of users; home Wi-Fi router can intelligently detect and locate an intruder; vehicles network and communicate with each other for traffic control; video cameras installed in the street can perform face recognition locally. At the same time, the bright future of smart city has also motivated many scientific and engineering challenges for both academia and industry, in order to fully exploit the capabilities and benefits brought by the IoT and AI.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TETC: Special Issue on "Backscattering-based Computing with Battery-Free Units" Datum: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 12:27:10 +0200 Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Antwort an: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for papers IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing Special Issue on "Backscattering-based Computing with Battery-Free Units" https://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetc_bbcbfu… <https://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetc_bbcbfu…> *** DETAILS OF THE ISSUE *** ------------------------------------------ The number of Internet-of-Thing units is expected to surpass the world population by 2018. However, the growth of smart units is limited by a fundamental factor, namely, battery. The reasons are primarily twofold: First, battery energy density only increased by three times over the past 22 years, which is much slower than many other areas of computation technology (e.g., transistors in an ASIC, data rates, etc.). Second, used batteries contain harmful chemicals and generate dangerous toxic waste that has to be properly processed. For many years, researchers have been working on reducing computation and communication power consumption. Despite the remarkable advancements in energy efficient computation and networking, we are still facing poor battery life, which challenges usage of many mobile applications and makes customers unhappy. A promising idea to address the problem of battery life is backscattering-based computation and transmissions, which concerns harvesting RF energy to power a backscatter unit's operation: The backscatter unit compute data and transmits them via reflecting the RF signal. Ambient and RFID backscattering are two techniques that enable data computation and transmission on battery-free units. Traditional RFID is a widely used technology that harvests power from RF signals emitted by an RFID reader. Sensor-augmented RFID tags can be deployed in smart environments to get real-time information about the state of tagged objects. Ambient backscattering harvests power from ambient signals such as TV, cellular, and Wi-Fi transmissions, enabling the design of battery-free units that can operate outdoor. Although backscattering enables battery-free operation, mobile units can operate with a relatively small power budget, posing significant constraints regarding operation and communication solutions. The bottleneck in terms of power consumption has shifted away from communication to computation, requiring a redesign at the unit level of data acquisition, data processing, buffering, packetizing, to achieve ultra-low power computation, and at the networking level to realize efficient backscatter-based architectures. This special issue (SI) aims at inviting works from leading researchers and developers from industry and academia to present recent and trending views on all aspects of backscattering-based computation and transmission. In light of the increasing interest in these topics, this SI will focus on, but will not be limited to, the following topics of interest: · Ultra-low power computation · Backscattering-based battery free units · Architectures, protocols, and technologies for backscattering communication · MAC and routing protocols for backscattering networks · Information collection in sensor-augmented RFID systems · RFID/ambient backscattering technologies and architecture · Performance evaluation of backscattering networks · Experiments and prototypes · Applications of backscattering (e.g., sensing, imaging, localization, etc.) · Interference management and coexistence · RF energy harvesting *** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *** ----------------------------------------------- Submitted articles must not have been previously published or being currently under submission at any other venue.

We would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for a special issue on *MULTI-SENSORY HUMAN BOND COMMUNICATION* to be published in the February 2019 issue of IEEE Communications Magazine, the link for which appears at https://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/multi-sensory-human-bon d-communication <https://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/multi-sensory-human-bond-communication>. For important deadlines and paper format, please check the web page or the CFP copied below. Regards, Dr. Sudhir Dixit, Prof. Seshadri Mohan, Prof. Ramjee Prasad and Prof. Hiroshi Harada Guest Editors, Feature topic on Multi-sensory Human Bond Communication IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 2019 CALL FOR PAPERS Information and communications technologies have progressed rapidly in this millennium for people to communicate and exchange information using multimedia (speech, video/image, text) and the same has extended to internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Propelled by the explosive growth in IoT, this trend is only going to accelerate in the years to come with new inventions in the =C3=A1r= ea of human-IoT interaction technologies to deliver powerful engaging and intuitive experiences. But, these developments have remained confined to only the sensing and transmission of aural and optical information in the digital domain through the use of microphone, camera, speaker and display devices. However, the ability to integrate the other three sensory features, namely, olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste) and tactile (touch) in information transfer and replication to deliver Star-Wars-like being there experience are still far from reality. Human bond communication (HBC) is a novel concept that incorporates all five sensory information from sensing to digitization to transmission and replication at the receiver to allow more expressive, engaging, realistic and holistic information between humans, and in some cases between humans and machines (M2H) or IoTs. This FT solicits articles that explore different aspects of HBC, IoTs for HBC and the interplay between these two fields, M2M and M2H, which also include the other three human sensory information (olfactory, tactile and gustatory) in addition to aural and optical sensors. Although the FT invites papers on research topics on sensing and replication, the focus of these papers should be on the ICT angle in this regards and on how information is encoded, transmitted and decoded reliably and securely in a world which would increasingly become multi-sensory. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Communication aspects of biometric extending to all five senses - Smart body area network - Brain-to-brain communication - Brain-to-brain interface, Brain-to-computer interface, Computer-to-brain interface - Gustatory, tactile, olfactory sensing and replication - Human bond communication - Human bond communication(s) interface - Human unwelt expansi=C3=B3n - Interplay between HBC and IoT - Invasive (i.e. bionic) approaches - Physical world augmentation (PWA) through the inclusion of all five senses - Privacy, security, and reliability in HBC - Sensory augmentation, sensory substitution - Wearable(s) with non-aural and non-optical sensor - Wireless body area network - Sensor encoding, transmission and decoding SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, word count, and the number of figures and tables. Please, see the guidelines online. The number of archival references is limited to fifteen (15). All references to online sources (website URLs, web-posted papers and reports) are required to show an Accessed on date.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Lars Wolf ********************************************************************** Call for Papers – 17. GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze – FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/ Die Nutzung von Rechnern, Smartphones und entsprechender Kommunikationstechnik ist für die meisten Menschen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft Teil des Alltags geworden. Aber auch mehr und mehr Gegenstände können kommunizieren, Informationen bereitstellen oder gesteuert werden. In Sensornetzen, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical-Networks, ... kommunizieren nun Geräte verschiedenster Art und für verschiedenste Zweckr miteinander. In manchen Szenarien werden von Sensoren Daten gesammelt und an zentrale Stellen zur Weiterverarbeitung, Speicherung sowie Entscheidungsfindung übertragen. Bei Einsatz von Aktorik können dann auch Regelschleifen geschlossen werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden verschiedenste Techniken für die Sensorik, für die Kommunikation, für die Verarbeitung, für die Speicherung etc. Auch wenn schon seit etliche Jahren umfangreiche Forschungen in diesem Umfeld erfolgten, gibt es nach wie vor vielfältige offene Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Zudem bestehen sehr breite und unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche, die oftmals spezielle Anforderungen an alle einzelnen Komponenten stellen. So sind die Anforderungen zwischen Szenarien bspw. für Smart Farming, für Industrieanlagen oder für Smart Cities sehr unterschiedlich. Es wird daher zur Einreichung von Beiträgen zu den vielfältigen Fragestellungen des breiten Forschungsbereichs aufgerufen. Dies kann u.a., aber nicht ausschließlich, Themenbereiche beinhalten wie: - Drahtlose Sensor- und Aktornetze - Internet of Things - Cyber-Physical Systems und Networks - Device-to-Device communication - Mobile Ad hoc und Mesh Netze - Automobilanwendungen und Smart Vehicles in Networked Worlds - Transportation, Fleet Management, Traffic Management - Verteilte Systeme für das IoT, IoT Protokolle und Standardisierung - Sensordatenerfassung und Crowd Sensing - Hausautomatisierung und Verteilte Energieanwendungen - Smart Buildings und Smart Cities - Zuverlässigkeit und Performanzeigenschaften - Energie- und ressourceneffiziente Sensorknoten und Sensornetze - Werkzeuge für Test und Evaluation (Simulatoren, Emulatoren, Testbeds, ...)

The huge demand for high quality life makes the administrator and the governments to put carefully planning in cities in a smarter way. As a premier agent for stimulating a quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city phenomenon has recently seized the imagination of the academia and the industry significantly. As the Internet of things (IoT) and Tactile Internet are predictable to be a primary driving force for future cities, advanced communication methods will play a crucial role in assisting real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, smart cities will also have to function within the limitations of the national economy and available resources. Consequently, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many and varied. In general, low energy consumption, constrained bandwidth, latency and budgetary limitations are predominate. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new ideas and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral, latency and monetary terms are presented to achieve a robust environment monitoring and sustainable transportation network, among other provisions. This led the researchers to pave the way for future wireless networks under the umbrella of 5G communications as well. This is an amalgamation of a multitude of technologies ranging from device-level algorithms such as low power transmissions to system-level architectures such as software-defined networking (SDN), the challenges posed by each of these techniques are critical. The smart city idea is also known to work at the intersection of various techniques such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, full-duplex transmissions and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts with interest in emerging smart cities related areas. The recent advancement in smart cities has boosted the development of a new generation of highly-efficient mobile networks. After the successful editions of this workshop in IEEE ISWCS 2016 and IEEE PIMRC 2017, this workshop will highlight the recent developments in this evolving area. It will provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and research collaboration. Topic are not limited to the following areas: *5G oriented smart cities *Big data and cloud computing in smart cities *Internet of things and automation in smart cities *Cognitive radio in smart cities, and ultra-dense network *Energy harvesting technologies and communications *Communication in smart grid and green communications and computing *Novel network architecture design *Resource-efficient cross-layer optimization *Cooperative communications, mmWave and Massive MIMO design for transmissions *Energy-efficiency and spectral-efficiency *Antennas design and channel modeling *Machine-to-machine communications and Smart Drones Communications *Safety, security, and privacy for smart Cities *Smart transportation systems and infrastructure (V2V, V2I) *Applications, deployments, test-beds and experimental experience for communications in smart cities Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Fall 2018 Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

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. Authors must register the abstract 1 week prior to the full paper submission.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> Gesendet: 1. Juni 2018 17:56:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM BuildSys 2018] Call for Paper, Paper Registration Deadline in a Week (June 8th) [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] =================================================================== Call for Papers: The 5th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2018) **** ACM BuildSys 2018 **** Shenzhen, China November 7-8, 2018 http://buildsys.acm.org/2018/ Dear Colleagues, Built environments and critical urban infrastructures, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security, and health. Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society. In the information age, unprecedented research of cyber-physical infrastructures includes the acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data such as sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and human, to tackle the major issues that cities face, e.g., air pollution, increased energy consumption and traffic congestion. Systems optimization, data analysis and modeling applied to the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. The 5th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2018) will be held November 7-8, 2018 at Shenzhen, China. This year at least five best papers in the ACM BuildSys proceedings will be selected into the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks with minor revision, upon authors' agreement. BuildSys is the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sophisticated sensing, computing, and control functions. We invite original contributions including, but not limited to the following: * Applications in smart and connected communities; * Sensing and control for urban infrastructure systems; * Novel sensor methodologies, techniques, and tools; * Sensing and control of electrical, gas, and water loads; * Improved user interfaces to built infrastructure; * Modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other resource flows in built environments; * Sensor systems and applications that enhance energy efficiency, energy reliability, durability, and comfort; * Systems that integrate infrastructure with the smart grid to offer demand response and ancillary services; * Distributed generation, alternative energy, renewable sources, and energy storage in buildings; * Emerging standards for data collection, energy control, or interoperability of disparate devices or systems; * Sensing, modeling, and predicting the urban heartbeat including sounds, movements, and radio spectrum; * Human in the loop sensing and control for efficient usage of electricity, gas, heating, water; * Sensor systems for reliable occupancy counting; * Long-lived and energy harvesting sensor systems; * Scalable indoor localization and contextual computing; * Security, privacy, safety, and reliability in built systems; * Empirical studies of city-scale wireless communications; * Environmental Sensing; * Vehicle technologies and Traffic. ### Paper Types We solicit two types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) Notes papers are 4-page papers intended to discuss preliminary research results, advocate new research directions, describe public software or datasets, or present short projects that do not warrant a 10-page paper. Notes papers serve, in part, to encourage younger researchers and research teams entering this field of research to share their work. We also encourage Notes paper submissions from industry participants that may not be able to devote resources to a full paper. While Notes papers are not expected to have extensive evaluations, they will be reviewed based on the novelty of their ideas, potential for impact, and quality of presentation. ### Submission Guidelines Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other publication. Submissions must be full papers, at most 10 single-spaced US Letter (8.5” x 11”) pages, including figures, tables, references, and appendices. Submissions for Note papers must be at most 4 single-spaced US Letter (8.5"x11") pages, including figures, tables, references, and appendices. All submissions must use the LaTeX (preferred) or Word styles found here. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions by: (1) using the "anonymous" option for the class and (2) using "anonsuppress" section where appropriate. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be reviewed. Please note that ACM uses 9-pt fonts in all conference proceedings, and the style (both LaTeX and Word) implicitly define the font size to be 9-pt. Please refer to publication chair's Note as well as the User Guide of the new class. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library on the first day of the conference. ### Submission Link All papers must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and submitted through the web submission form: https://buildsys18.hotcrp.com/. For notes papers, the submission site has a checkbox called "Notes papers." Those who submit notes papers need to check this box to indicate their paper types. ### Important Dates * Abstract Registration**: June 8, 2018, AOE. * Paper Submission: June 15, 2018, AOE. (Hard deadline) * Paper Notification: August 20, 2018, AOE. ** For the abstract registration, you only need to enter the title of the paper, the list of authors and their email addresses, the PC conflicts, and a brief abstract (~150-250 words). After registering the paper's abstract, you will have one additional week to upload the PDF file of the paper (either a 10-page Full paper or a 4-page Notes paper). ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Call for Paper -------------------- Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/call… Background ------------------ Automakers have been busy with implementing new designs and features for new vehicles for the last several years. The efforts have been in variety of areas such as fuel efficiency, smart features on wheels, performance, batteries, and a cluster of new products made with new materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber, and titanium. One challenging area is related to the communication system within new vehicles. The idea of self-driving vehicles from a decade ago is becoming a reality today. The development of new cars and self-driving vehicles brings a set of new challenges for the designers and drivers as well. Ease of use, accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of the new technologies used in the new vehicles are the main priority for automakers. The idea of “Connected Vehicle” has been the focus of automakers, telecommunication industry, and IT providers for quite a while. The evolution of technologies that advances vehicle connectivity has brought new fields of research and development in several industries. Numerous new terms such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicles-to-everything (V2X), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and others have been conceived to describe the passing of information from one vehicle to the surrounding entities. The aim of this special issue is to create a platform to foster new ideas and technical insights in the design and analysis of vehicular communication systems and discuss emerging technologies. Original manuscript describing unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal are welcome. Papers may describe system level design, modeling, simulation, experiment and optimization of wireless systems, emerging wireless technologies and applications, wireless system protocols and architecture and multilayer integration of RF energy and sensing components that are related to the vehicular communication systems. Topics ----------- The list of topics includes: - Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) Communication - Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communication - Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Communication - Vehicle-to-Device (V2D) Communication - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Communication - Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) Communication - Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) Communication - Vehicle to Roadside (V2R) Communication - Software Defined Vehicular Communication Networks - Cognitive Radio enabled Vehicular Communication - Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) - Vehicular Networks and Telematics (VNTA) - Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) - Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) - Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Smart Grid Communication - Electric Vehicles recharging techniques - Efficient Utilization of Spectrum of Vehicular Communication Systems - Communication Standards for Vehicular Communication Systems - Other topics that are related to vehicular communication systems Important Dates ------------------------ Manuscript Due: August 31, 2018 Acceptance notification: October 30, 2018 Revised paper due: December 15, 2018 Notification of the re-review: January 15, 2019 Final notification: February 28, 2019 Final manuscript due: March 30, 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: August 2019 Submission Guidelines --------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/authorinst….
