-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-elg]CfP for ICT4VRU Workshop, DL 18.4.19 Datum: Fri, 8 Feb 2019 14:16:07 +0000 Von: David, Klaus, Uni.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. <david(a)uni-kassel.de> An: kuvs-elg(a)lists.gi.de <kuvs-elg(a)lists.gi.de> https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/ICT4VRULogo.PNG *Call For Papers* * * *Workshop on ICT based Collision Avoidance for VRUs (ICT4VRU) in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2019, September 23-26, 2019, Kassel, Germany* According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), 26 % of all road traffic deaths worldwide (about 350,000) involve Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) like pedestrians and bicyclists. Cooperative collision avoidance aims at protecting VRUs by assuming that they are able to communicate their position with nearby cars by using mobile devices. In this approach, vehicles and VRUs exchange information, like their respective movement vectors for detecting whether a collision is possible or not. Mobile devices offer a wide range of sensors, which enable the recognition of specific contexts of VRUs, like for example whether a pedestrian runs towards an intersection or crosses a curb. Those contexts indicate unsafe VRU movements and can be used to improve collision avoidance in terms of collision detection performance, position accuracy, energy efficiency and more. This workshop aims at addressing these and similar challenges for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Car2VRU related scenarios. Topics of interest for the submissions include, but are not limited to: * Car2VRU architectures, applications and use cases * Car2X, Car2VRU (Car2P, Car2B) communications * Analysis of latency, overhead and message frequencies for Car2VRU communication * Machine learning and context modelling for pedestrians and bicyclists * Localization, GNSS improvements * Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) * Mobile edge computing (MEC) IMPORTANT DATES: *Paper Submission Deadline: April 19, 2019* Author Notification: May 05, 2019 Camera-ready version due: June 20, 2019 Workshop: September 23-24, 2019 TPC, SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: See workshop website: _https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/ <https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/index.html>_ CHAIRS Klaus David, University of Kassel Falko Dressler, Paderborn University CONTACT INFO: ict4vru-workshop(a)informatik2019.de <mailto:ict4vru-workshop@informatik2019.de> Viele Grüße Klaus/ David -- Prof. Dr. Klaus David University of Kassel Faculty of Electrical Engineering/ Computer Science Chair for Communication Technology (ComTec) Wilhelmshöher Allee 73 34121 Kassel - Germany Phone:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6314 Phone2:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6446 (Secretary) Fax:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6360 Mobile:+49 - 170 - 2901602 Email:david@uni-kassel.de <mailto:david@uni-kassel.de> WWW:http://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• INFORMATIK 2019 • 23.-26.09.2019 • Kassel • www.informatik2019.de <http://www.informatik2019.de/> 50 Jahre Gesellschaft für Informatik - Informatik für Gesellschaft ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

In conjunction with FAS* (https://www.fasstar.org) - 13th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptiveand Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2019, http://saso2019.cs.umu.se/), and - 16th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2019, http://icac2019.cs.umu.se/) ************************************************************** [Apologies for possible multiple copies of this message] Please share and spread to interested members of your group/institution and colleague researchers. ============================================================== Important dates ============================================================== * Abstract Submission: March 8, 2019 * Submission Deadline: March 15, 2019 * Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2019 * Camera-Ready Version: April 20, 2019 * Workshop: TBD (June 16-20, 2019) ============================================================== Scope ============================================================== Modern software systems are becoming more and more *collective* and are composed of many distributed and heterogeneous entities. These systems operate under continuous perturbations making manual adjustments infeasible. For a collective system to be resilient, its *adaptation* must also be collective, in the sense that multiple entities must adapt in a way that addresses critical runtime conditions while preserving the benefits of collaborative interdependencies. Decision-making in such systems is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the entities may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. In such systems, a new approach for adaptation is needed to allow: (i) multiple entities to collectively adapt with; (ii) negotiations to decide which collective changes are best. Collective adaptation also raises a second important challenge: Which parts of the system (things, services, people) should be engaged in an adaptation? This is nontrivial, as multiple solutions to the same problem may be generated at different levels. The challenge is to understand these levels and create mechanisms to decide the right scope for an adaptation for a given problem. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that they can be better designed, built, and analyzed, as well as case studies and applications showing such approaches in action. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcomed. Suggested Topics (but not limited to): * Novel theories relating to operating principles of CAS * Novel design principles for building CAS systems * Insights into the short and long-term adaptation of CAS systems * Insights into emergent properties of CAS * Insights into general properties of large scale, distributed CAS * Decision-making approaches in CAS * Methodologies for studying, analyzing, and building CAS * Frameworks for analyzing or developing CAS case studies * Languages, platforms, APIs and other tools for CAS * Scenarios, case studies, and experience reports of CAS in different contexts (e.g., Smart Mobility, Smart Energy/Smart Grid, Smart Buildings, traffic management, emergency response, etc.) ============================================================== Submission Instructions and Review Criteria ============================================================== The length of a workshop paper may not exceed *6 pages* including references and follow the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. All papers should be submitted in PDF format. You can submit the paper through EasyChair using this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecas2019 By submitting a paper, the authors confirm that in case of acceptance, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work. Papers will be peer reviewed on the basis of originality, readability, relevance to themes, soundness, and overall quality. Workshop proceedings will be published on IEEE Xplore in parallel with the main conference proceedings. ============================================================== Committees ============================================================== Steering Committee * Jacob Beal, Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA * Giacomo Cabri, University of Modena And Reggio Emilia, Italy * Nicola Capodieci, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy * Emma Hart, Edinburgh Napier University, U.K * Mirko Viroli, University of Bologna, Italy Workshop Chairs * Roberto Casadei, Alma Mater Studiorum--Università di Bologna, IT * Soura Dasgupta, University of Iowa, USA Program Committee (TBC) * Franco Bagnoli, University of Firenze, Italy * Jake Beal, Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA * Luca Bortolussi, University of Trieste, Italy * Johann Bourcier, Université de Rennes 1 / IRISA, France * Antonio Bucchiarone, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy * Mauro Caporuscio, Linnaeus University, Sweden * Siobhan Clarke, Trinity College Dublin, UK * Ferruccio Damiani, Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Torino, Italy * Ada Diaconescu, Telecom ParisTech, FR * Simon Dobson, University of St Andrews, UK * Martina De Sanctis, Gran Sasso Science Institute, L'Aquila, Italy * Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo, University of Geneva, Switzerland * Schahram Dustdar, Vienna University of Technology, Austria * Lukas Esterle, Aston University, UK * Francesco Gallo, University of L'Aquila, Italy * Kurt Geihs, Universitaet Kassel, Germany * Tom Holvoet, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium * Paola Inverardi, University of L'Aquila, Italy * Ludovico Iovino, Gran Sasso Science Institute, L'Aquila, Italy * Verena Klös, TU Berlin, Germany * Peter Lewis, Aston University, UK * Michele Loreti, University of Camerino, Italy * Mieke Massink, CNR-ISTI, Italy * Hernan Melgratti, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina * Mirco Musolesi, University College London, UK * Danilo Pianini, University of Bologna, Italy * Simon Powers, Edinburgh Napier University, UK * Alexander Schiendorfer, University Augsburg, Germany * Romina Spalazzese, Malmoe University, Sweden * Christof Teuscher, Portland State University, Oregon, USA * Mirko Viroli, University of Bologna, Italy ============================================================== Contacts ============================================================== For any question, please contact the workshop organizers. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
