-------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, ...) 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. Im Rahmen des Fachgesprächs soll daher die Diskussion gegenüber der Vortragspräsentation im Vordergrund stehen. Beiträge sind in Form von Extended Abstracts einzureichen. Sie sollen 2-4 Seiten umfassen und im doppelspaltigen IEEE Transaction Format für Konferenzen in 10pt Schrift auf A4 verfasst werden. Das Fachgespräch ist offen für Beiträge, die bei anderen begutachteten Veranstaltungen publiziert werden. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht über die Unibibliothek der TU Braunschweig veröffentlicht. Für Einreichungen kann gerne das bereitgestellte LaTeX Template genutzt werden. Alle Beiträge müssen als PDF über EasyChair eingereicht werden: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fgsn2018 Termine ------- - Einreichung: verlängert auf 28. Juni 2018 (war 15.
