-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: 3rd International Workshop on Communications for Networked Smart Cities (CorNer) in IEEE VTC-Fall 2018 Datum: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 10:03:38 +0500 Von: Syed Ali Hassan <0000003c60556067-dmarc-request(a)comsoc.org> Antwort an: Syed Ali Hassan <ali.hassan(a)SEECS.EDU.PK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 3rd International Workshop on Communications for Networked Smart Cities (CorNer) *in Conjunction with IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Fall) 2018, Chicago, USA* ____Workshop Website: https://seecsfam.wixsite.com/vtc2018-fall ___________ Call for Papers: The demands for high data rates and ultra-reliable coverage become demanding issues due to increase number of population in the world by 2020. 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. Demo/Poster Format: Demo and poster proposals will be published as part of the proceedings and must not be longer than 2 pages.

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.

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.
