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.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 2019 Feature topic on Multi-sensory Human Bond Communication Datum: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 15:49:08 -0500 Von: Seshadri Mohan <sxmohan(a)UALR.EDU> Antwort an: Seshadri Mohan <sxmohan(a)UALR.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Dear Colleagues, Our apologies should this be a duplicate. 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. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) to the "*February 2019 / **Multi-Sensory Human Bond Communication*" category by the submission deadline according to the following schedule: IMPORTANT DATES - *Manuscript Submission Deadline:* July 1, 2018 - *Decision Notification:* November 1, 2018 - *Final Manuscript Submission:* December 15, 2018 - *Publication:* February 2019 GUEST EDITORS *Sudhir Dixit* Basic Internet Foundation, USA sudhir.dixit(a)ieee.org *Seshadri Mohan* UA Little Rock, Little Rock, USA sxmohan(a)ualr.edu *Ramjee Prasad* Aarhus University, Denmark ramjee(a)btech.au.dk *Hiroshi Harada* Kyoto University, Japan hiroshi.harada(a)i.kyoto-u.ac.jp ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

14 Jun '18

****************************************************************** *** Verlängerung des Termins für die Einreichung auf 28.6.2018 *** ****************************************************************** (Mehrfache Zusendungen der Mail bitten wir zu entschuldigen.) Auch in diesem Jahr soll das langjährig erfolgreiche KuVS Fachgespräch "Sensornetze" weitergeführt werden. Das bereits 17. FGSN soll am 13. + 14. September 2018 an der TU Braunschweig stattfinden. Hiermit möchten wir zur Einreichung von Beiträgen aufrufen. Wir bitten um Extended Abstracts für Vorträge als auch für Demos/Poster. Weitere Details finden sich im unten stehenden Call for Papers und auf https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/ Bitte leiten Sie den Aufruf auch an interessierte Kolleginnen und Kollegen weiter! 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.
