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 Original manuscript describing unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal are welcome.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…. Authors should submit online at: https://www.evise.com/profile/#/COMPELECENG/login by selecting “SI-vcs” from the “Issues” pull-down menu during the submission process.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] PMC journal: Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Datum: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 18:20:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 2.974) https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud has been popularly used for handling computation-intensive tasks and providing intelligence to distributed IoT devices. However, as the number of Internet-connected devices is dramatically growing, cloud shows its limit on handling the daunting amount of computation loads on the one hand and the network bandwidth for moving huge volume of data from end devices to cloud becomes the bottleneck on the other hand. Edge computing is an emerging paradigm to optimize cloud-IoT ecosystems for tackling both network bottleneck and reducing data volume. The basic idea behind the edge computing lies in that the data processing such as analytics and knowledge generation are performed in the proximity of data origins. One can see edge devices as small-scale clouds providing comparatively limited functionality and capability, as compared to the centralized cloud. The use of edge devices in the proximity of data origins thus improves network latency. Moreover, the amount of data that need to be processed by each edge device will be substantially less than the amount of data that need to be processed by single cloud. Despite numerous benefits from edge computing, this paradigm also brings new security and privacy challenges. While edge devices might be smartphones, smart gates, or even PC/laptop, together with the numerous kinds of end IoT devices such as smart watch (e.g., Apple iWatch), implantable medical devices (e.g., fitbit), voice assistants (e.g., Google Home), one can imagine various scenarios with sensitive data usage. For example, the smart watch collects sensitive physiological information. Meanwhile, distributed edge devices need to cooperate with each other without the involvement of the data center. These scenarios obviously result in a high concern of security and privacy, especially on, for example, access control of edge devices, data abuse/misuse, DoS resistance on edge devices. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent research on security and privacy of edge computing, with particular emphasis on security and privacy issues on edge/end devices. More specifically, we invite recent advanced research on privacy enhancing technologies and secure cryptographic techniques to address security and privacy challenges in the field of edge computing. The following themes are of particular interest: Authentication, auditing and accountability in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Edge computing architectures and solution design patterns Edge computing for IoT Communication and networking protocols for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Fine-grained access control mechanism in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-preserving computation in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Trust and reputation issues in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security architecture for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Key management in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT IoT communication in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Incentive models or techniques for data processing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-Enhancing Cryptographic Techniques in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security for Crowdsourcing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Guest Editors: Claudio A.
