We cite as example of CPS smart grid in energy sector, smart factory and industry 4.0, intelligent transportation systems, healthcare and medical systems, and robotic systems. The CPSs offer very complex interaction between heterogeneous cyber and physical components; additionally to this complexity they are exposed to important disturbances due to unintentional and intentional events which lead the prediction of their behaviors (categorized as "Normal" or "Faulty") a very difficult task. Meanwhile, cyber security for CPS is attracting the attention of research scientists in both industry and academia since the number of cyber-attacks have increased and their behaviors have become more sophisticated commonly known as zero-day threats. Conventional cyber security mechanisms, such Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), and access control have not the capability to detect, prevent and block this category of cyber-attacks since the zero-day threats exhibit an unknown misbehavior that are not defined in signatures’ database of the security systems. Recently, a new era of cyber security mechanisms based on Artificial Intelligent (AI) are under development to protect the CPSs from these zero-day attacks. In the context of cyber security, the machine learning technologies are used to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources of information with a goal of generating automatically different attacks patents and hence predict accurately the future attackers’ misbehavior. Meanwhile, game-theoretic approaches have been used in the context of cyber defense to solve the decision-making issues (i.e., the suspect device is an attacker or not) and attacks prediction. In decision-making issue, the cyber security game is used to study the interaction between the security agents (e.g., IDS and IPS) and their opponents (e.g. attackers) with a goal to determine the optimal decision making of security agent to classify the suspected opponent as attacker or not. Preventing the occurrence of zero-day attacks requires the collaboration between different AI systems including machine learning and game theory, as well as security expert intervention. In fact, the involving of human intervention in the decision-making leads an improvement of attacks detection since the purpose of human-machine interaction is to reduce the number of false positives. Another example to illustrate the migration of security solutions to use more intelligent principles and technologies, the Identity Management & Access control (IAM) which switch from a simple login/password checking to voice and facial recognition. This Special Issue (SI) aims to bring together researchers from academic and industrial to share their visions of the AI application in cyber security context, present challenges and recent works and advances related to AI-based cyber security applied to CPSs. Potential topics include, but not limited to the following: * Design and verification of AI-based security solutions, * Impact of AI-based security solutions on CPS performances, * Safety of AI-based security solutions. * IDS/IPS based on machine learning, * IDS/IPS based on deep and reinforcement learning, * Cyber security game to protect the CPS, * Authentication and Access Control, * AI modeling for attack behavior, * Attacks prediction based on machine learning and game theory, * Human-machine interaction in the context of cyber security, * Application of AI-based security in internet of things and transportation segments * AI-based Solution for Physical layer security Important dates: ---------------------- *Manuscript Submission Deadline:*1 May 2019 *Initial Decision:* 1 August 2019 *Revised Manuscript Due:* 1 September 2019 *Decision Notification:* 1 November 2019 *Final Manuscript Due:* 1 December 2019 *Publication Date:* May 2020 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Paper Submission Guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/netmag/paper-submission-guidelines>.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue in Wiley ETT (IF = 1.61) Special Issue on Context-Aware Mobility in Internet of Things: Enabling Technologies, Applications and Challenges Submission Deadline: * February 28, 2019* This CFP can be seen at the website of IJDSN at *https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Proposed%20Special%20Issue%20(Context-aware%20mobility%20in%20IoT)%20-%20Final%20-%20CFP%20171218.pdf <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Propose…>* Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary paradigm for connected objects that enables diverse communication between heterogeneous devices. Continuous connectivity empowers these devices to socialize with each other by sharing information from distinct sources. IoT has played a profound role in diverse domains of life ranging from healthcare to agriculture, education to enterprise and transportation to engineering and many more. A progressive embracement of IoT by industry and individuals has enabled the realization of concepts such as Smart Cities and Smart Industries that were considered a mere dream decade ago. Further, mobility in IoT brings a lot of challenges when it comes to providing generic frameworks, protocols, applications and services such as uncertainty, dynamicity, disruptions, scalability and reliability etc. Highly mobile objects have tendency to change their context at a rapid pace that brings the challenge of realizing the applications that require contextual information for their operations and functionality. Generating context information requires extensive data analysis, high energy consumption, intelligent sensing and large storages to ensure appropriate information dissemination entities involved in the system. Context-aware mobility has gained tremendous attention with the advent of new generation of portal devices, e.g., smart phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness bands and smart cars etc. Change in the context can significantly transform the overall outcome of the system based on the devices, users, applications and environmental parameters. Recent advancements in IoT are still in their fancy and require standardization, benchmarking, architectural designs, models, guidelines, policies and measurement criteria for development and deployment of context-aware applications and services. This special issue is expected to provide a platform for academics and industry researchers to identify and debate enabling technologies, technical and non-technical challenges and recent accomplishments associated with contextaware mobility in IoT. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: • Architectural Design for Context-Aware Mobile IoT systems • Data Processing and Analytics for Mobile Contextualization • Context-aware mobility in IoT using Fog Computing • Security, Privacy and Trust Management in Context-aware Mobility • Social and Ethical implications of Context-aware Mobility in IoT Devices • Applications and Use Case Scenarios of Context-aware Mobile IoT Systems • Communication Technologies for Mobile IoT based on Context Intelligence • Context-Aware Mobility in Transportation • Context-Aware Mobility in Healthcare • Context-aware Mobility based Business Models for IoT applications • Wearable IoT based applications for context intelligence The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: (Hard Deadline Feb 5) IEEE VTC Workshop, Heterogenous Mobile/Multi-Access Edge Computing
by Lars Wolf 31 Jan '19

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: (Hard Deadline Feb 5) IEEE VTC Workshop, Heterogenous Mobile/Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 05:15:39 -0500 Von: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG OVERVIEW ======== The recent development of wireless networking and mobile cloud computing initiates an emerging cyber system called mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC). MEC moves computing and data processing capability from distant cloud datacenters to edge servers that are closer to the mobile devices to offer users the lowest possible latency, the highest possible bandwidth, and direct access to real-time network services. Although MEC is expected to largely improve the QoE for mobile users, it is challenging to realize and utilize the MEC systems effectively and efficiently due to its inherent heterogeneities. First, since a typical MEC datacenter is composed of heterogenous resources such as CPU/GPU clusters, FPGAs, programable network routers, etc., this heterogeneity is big challenge to the traditional orchestration systems. In addition, due to the differences in scales, architectures, and Internet access technologies, it is challenging to realize the coordination of multiple MEC datacenters for conducting complicated tasks. Finally, the applications using MEC are also heterogenous. Different applications have different objectives and metrics, and correspondingly different flavors to specific MEC servers. Therefore, joint optimization of multiple applications and the MEC orchestration has to be considered. Addressing these issues efficiently will have significant importance to the future mobile computing and communications technologies. The objective of this workshop is to identify and address the challenges and opportunities of developing and utilizing HMEC. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - Theory, architecture, platform, application, and tools for MEC - Cloud computing and MEC in heterogenous environment - Novel network architecture, protocol, and the other related technologies for MEC - Vehicular network technologies employing MEC - Heterogenous networks - Theory, platform, and applications of Internet of things based on MEC - Energy harvesting technologies and communications related to MEC - Safety, security, and privacy for MEC - Cooperative computing and communications for heterogenous MEC - The practice and experience of Proof-of-Concept projects of MEC - Related future trends and emerging technologies of MEC All manuscripts should be converted to PDF format and uploaded to the Trackchair system. Each submission must be at most 5 pages in length and conforms to the double-column template provided by IEEE. You can download a template from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC Spring 2018 Conference Proceedings (Ei Compendex source) and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques, either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks. The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not limited to: · Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks · Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks · Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks · Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks · Incentive models for energy sharing by peers · Energy trading and economy models among peers · Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks · Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks · Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks · Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks · Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers · Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [NewNets 2019 co-located with WF-IoT, Limerick, Ireland] Deadline extended! Datum: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:40:46 +0000 Von: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> Antwort an: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WF-IoT) April 15, 2019 - Limerick, Ireland https://newnets2019.github.io/ !!!DEADLINE EXTENDED!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing both sensing and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The 1st on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets) brings together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - protocol design; - hardware platform design; - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication; - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions; - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming); - radio resource management; - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned; - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing; - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication.
