-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP IoT - IF: 6.395 JCLEPRO (Elsevier) Datum: Fri, 18 Oct 2019 15:02:15 -0400 Von: Petar Solic <psolic(a)FESB.HR> Antwort an: Petar Solic <psolic(a)FESB.HR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, please refer to the CfP for special issue on: Internet of Things (IoT): Opportunities, issues and challenges towards the smart and sustainable future in Journal of Cleaner Production (IF: 6.395) Submission Deadline: November 1, 2019 Journal webpage: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cleaner-production Scope and CfP direct link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cleaner-production/call-for-pa… If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact: psolic(a)fesb.hr Best regards, Petar Solic SpliTech secretary 2020.splitech.org —— Topics: (1) IoT technologies in Sustainable Energy and Environment IoT is expected to be a major producer of big data. Sharing and collaboration of data and other resources would be the key for enabling sustainable ubiquitous environments, such as smart cities and societies. A timely fusion and analysis of big data, acquired from IoT and other sources, to enable highly efficient, reliable, and accurate decision-making and management of ubiquitous environments would be a grand future challenge. Computational intelligence would play a key role in this challenge (Furqan Alam, et al. 2017). The new era of Web and IoT paradigm is being enabled by the proliferation of various devices like RFIDs, sensors, and actuators. Smart devices are embedded in the environment to monitor and collect ambient information. In smart cities, intelligent services could be offered on top of such information related to any aspect of humans' activities. Some examples of services able to guarantee sustainable environments are IoT-enabled waste management, the use of IoT hardware and software technologies for the buildings energy efficiency in terms of reducing energy consumption and improving the internal comfort, smart grids, smart homes, physical security, enhanced street lighting controls, infrastructure monitoring, public safety and surveillance in indoor and outdoor environments. (2) E-health Emerging ICT technologies are playing more and more a very important role in the Healthcare sector. The efficiency of healthcare infrastructures and biomedical systems is one of the most challenging goals of modern-day society (Nguyen et al. 2019). In fact, the need of delivering quality care to patients while reducing the healthcare costs and, at the same time, tackling the nursing staff shortage problem is a primary issue. Furthermore, innovative solutions able to support and improve the elderly people quality of life exploiting emerging technologies enabling the IoT are fundamentals to create the new smart cities, thought also for people no so young. Furthermore, the behavioral analysis of elderly people is an important science aiming to prevent Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and frailty problems. A fundamental aspect in this context is to explore the use of innovative technologies enabling the Internet of Things (IoT), above all sensors, to unobtrusively capture personal data for automatically recognizing behavioral changes in elderly people. Artificial Intelligence, based on Machine Learning or Deep Learning techniques, represents a valid candidate to face these challenges. (3) IoT technologies in Transportation and Low Carbon Products Smart transportation, also known as intelligent transportation systems, is another important IoT-based application, in which intelligent transportation management, control system, communication networks, and computing techniques are integrated to make transportation systems reliable, efficient, and secure (Lin et al., 2015). In the smart transportation system, a large number of smart vehicles are included and connected with each other through wireless networks. Smart vehicles can efficiently perceive and share traffic data and schedule drivers’ travels with great efficiency, reliability, and safety. Recently, smart vehicles with Self-Driving have been designed and tested. Those smart vehicles can detect objects around them and safely manage speed during traveling without the operation of drivers. IoT-aware technologies such as software architecture based on Cloud-, Edge-or Fog-Computing play a very important role to face these challenges. Another important topic, in the smart transportation field is related to security issue, in particular managed with the block chain approach. (4) Smart Cities Smart cities can be considered a complex IoT paradigm, which aims to manage public affairs via introducing information and communication technology (ICT) solutions (Zanella et al., 2014). Smart cities can use public resources in more efficient ways, resulting in the improvement of the QoSs provided to users and the reduction of operational costs to public administrators. Smart cities may consist of several sub applications or services, including the smart gird, smart transportation, smart hospital, smart building, smart waste management, environmental monitoring, smart health, smart lighting, etc. All these sub applications, or services, should be supported by a unified communication network infrastructure, or communication networks designed for these sub applications or services should be interconnected to establish a large-scale interconnected heterogeneous network for IoT applications, with the aim of achieving the best use of public resources in cities (Lin et al. 2017).

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing.

CFP: 2nd IEEE Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking (CPN’20) -- Final deadline extension
by Lars Wolf 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

********************************************** *** Final deadline extension *** ********************************************** Call for Papers ****************************************************************** *** Submission deadline extended finally to October 18th, 2019 *** ****************************************************************** ############################################################### ### 2nd IEEE Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking (CPN’20) ### ############################################################### Co-located with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2020) in Las Vegas, USA. 10. January 2020, Las Vegas, USA https://ccnc2020.ieee-ccnc.org/workshop/2nd-ieee-workshop-cyber-physical-ne… Low-latency networking and the increasing data rates of communication systems have been major research objectives of the past decades. The corresponding research efforts lead to the modern information society of today. Recently, we see a rapid spread of cyber-physical applications such as telemedicine, smart production, and infrastructure systems. These systems build the backbone of Industry 4.0 environments, for example, and operate with feedback control loops that are closed over communication channels and, thus, impose real-time requirements for the communication. Predictably low latency is a necessary property, however, it challenges concurring requirements for high reliability, spectral, and energy efficiency in particular when wireless links used. Classical approaches for the independent design of communication and control have reached their limits for quite some time. The research objective in the area of cyber-physical networking is to develop a theoretical and practical basis for the paradigmatic change from throughput- to real-time-oriented communication in networked control systems. In order to meet the requirements of cyber-physical applications, a tight (horizontal and vertical) integration of all communication, control, and system components is necessary in order to fully exploit their individual elasticity and mutual adjustment potential. We understand cyber-physical networking as including all aspects of such a system, in particular network and communication, control and the physical system itself. Ultimately, this workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in the area of communication, control and systems design - to share views on approaches to bring together these domains for enabling cyber-physical networking. Topics of Interest Submissions are encouraged to cover multiple of the following top-level topics. Application Scenarios for Cyber-Physical Networks Benchmarks, Quality Metrics, and Testbeds Industry Case Studies and Experience Reports Consumer Products Control Design and Architectures for Cyber-Physical Networks Performance, Stability, and Robustness Guarantees Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Model-Predictive, Optimal, Learning-Based, and Robust Control Network Architectures and Protocols for Cyber-Physical Networks Mobility Aspects Latency and Resilience Awareness Time-Sensitive Networking Operating System Approaches for Cyber-Physical Networks Resource Management Timeliness and Energy Awareness Local and Distributed Dependability Submissions: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26508&track=99350 The workshop allows two types of submissions: papers & demos. Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. All paper submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) following the IEEE format. All demo submissions come in form of an extended abstract with a maximum length of two (2) printed pages with the same format as paper submissions. At the workshop, demos are required to bring a poster (A0) that accompanies their presentation. We also encourage the paper authors to optionally present a demo. This does not require a separate submission of an extended abstract but is covered by the paper submission. We encourage the submission of courageous research ideas and proposals that explore the potential of cyber-physical networks, also off the beaten track. Dates Submission deadline: October 18th, 2019 (Final extension) Acceptance notification: October 25th, 2019 Final camera-ready paper due: November 8th, 2019 Workshop presentations: January 10th, 2020 General Chairs Timo Hönig, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany Sebastian Trimpe, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Stuttgart, Germany Lars Wolf, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany Web Chair Andreas Schmidt, Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC), Saarbrücken, Germany Technical Program Committee Duarte Antunes, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands José Araújo, Ericsson Research Stockholm, Sweden Christian Becker, University of Mannheim, Germany Mesut Güneş, University Magdeburg, Germany Timo Hönig, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany Alex Leong, University of Paderborn, Germany Mohammad H.

In recent years, wake-up radio has emerged, enabling pure asynchronous wireless communication that eliminates energy waste due to idle listening. These devices allow continuous channel monitoring while consuming orders of magnitude less power than traditional transceivers. On the one hand, many efforts are made to design wake-up radio circuit with low power consumption and low sensitivity. On the other hand, this technology changes network paradigm as dedicated access and network protocols should be designed. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers both from academia and industry to exchange and share their experiences and research results related to wake-up radio emerging technology. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Wake-Up radio circuit and architecture design - Coding, modulation and signal processing for Wake-Up radio - Heterogeneous communication (or Multi-transceiver) and protocols - MAC protocol leveraging Wake-up radio - Cross-layer design for Wake-Up radio - Communication and networking for wireless systems using Wake-Up radio - Testbeds and experimentations using wake-up radio - Use-case and applications leveraging Wake-up radio - Wake-up radio in standardization (IEEE 802.11ba, 4G, 5G, ...)
