IIoT consists of various smart objects distributed throughout the whole industrial system to collect massive ambient data, which can be used to identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot faults and detect malicious behaviours consequently enforcing effective control to the physical world. However, there are several challenges posed on IIoT before the formal adoption of IIoT across various industries. Among them, security and efficiency on IIoT data are the most crucial concerns. On the other hand, the blockchain technology is transforming industries by enabling anonymous and trustful transactions in decentralized and trustless environment. As a result, blockchains help to reduce system risks, mitigate financial fraud and cut down operational cost. The convergence of IIoT and blockchains can potentially overcome the deficiencies of IIoT consequently resulting in the realization of IIoT in industrial sectors. Both industry practitioners and academic researchers aim at realizing general, scalable and deployable blockchain-based IIoT platforms in various application domains while there are a number of challenges like distributed consensus algorithms and data analytics with privacy-preservation in IIoT systems. To fill the gap, this special section solicits high quality and unpublished work on recent advances in Blockchains for IIoT. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - New distributed consensus algorithms for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New security mechanisms for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New location-based services for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New blockchain platforms for IIoT - Advances in big data analytics in blockchain-enabled IIoT - Advanced contextual computing for blockchain-enabled IIoT - Edge/cloud intelligence for blockchain-enabled IIoT - Design, development and application of blockchain technology in IIoT - Intelligent manufacturing based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Energy/smart grids/utilities based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Smart supply chain based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Intelligent transportation applications based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Applications of big data analytics in blockchain-enabled IIoT --------------------------------------------------------- Manuscript Preparation and Submission --------------------------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics. Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii . On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on Blockchain for Industrial Internet of Things.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Issue on Vehicular Communication Systems -- Elsevier Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal, IF = 1.74 Datum: Sun, 1 Jul 2018 15:28:53 -0400 Von: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue on Vehicular Communication Systems in Elsevier Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal. 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….
