According to the American Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the majority of the victims in many different scenarios are untrained rescuers and even professional first responders. Accurate information gathered from sensors may allow first-responders and volunteers to make better and faster decisions, understand the situation, identify the rescue actions with higher success probability, correctly allocate resources such as number of ambulances, and prevent or mitigate personal risks. Today, even commonly available technologies, such as cellular phones, could save many lives if properly adopted. There is a compelling need of exploring the feasibility of new technologies, explicitly designed for working in emergency scenarios. Recently in this wide context, the aerial communication has significantly progressed due to longer battery life-time, new international law regulations and microelectronics evolution with lower prices and higher performance. In particular, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can easily and quickly reach far-away locations, scan carefully the area looking for injured people and autonomously create a communication bridge between first responder networks and victims. However, there are several unaddressed challenges on both communication and computational means that might further improve the reactiveness and efficiency of the first response after a natural disaster or human-driven threat. The workshop is focused on main upcoming activities about the involvement of UAVs as emergency communication means during emergency situations. It is open to both scientific and industrial communities, and will disclose the latest research achievements in the research field of fine-grained localization, advanced communication between moving objects and optimal UAV-cell coverage. The main motivation is to gather people involved in public safety innovative actions, encompassing both the mathematical frameworks and realistic solutions to bring intelligence and efficiency on board of UAVs. The scope of the workshop includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: - Integration of aerial recovery networks in 5G New Radio (5G-NR) - Design and Implementation of self-organized aerial networks for disaster recovery - Mobility and traffic predictions for Disaster recovery networks - Edge and Fog computing for the Disaster recovery aerial networks - Energy management strategies for public safety networks - Trajectory planning and handover management for public safety aerial networks - Network slicing for aerial public safety networks to support low-latency response - Advanced localization technique using UAVs - Age-of-Information aware scheduling for public safety networks - Dynamic spectrum allocation and overlay network formation for public safety networks - Mobility diversity enhancement mechanisms for UAV networks - Experimental case-studies and simulation frameworks for public safety networks - Performance characterization for aerial public safety networks.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Physical Communications: Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management (IF: 1.522) Datum: Sat, 2 Feb 2019 01:41:04 -0500 Von: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management Deadline: June 1, 2019 CFP: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/physical-communication/call-for-papers/sp… In recent years, since 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) is giving high priority to the mission critical communications networks and services to provide communication services in disaster areas. Because, the disaster management organizations such as fire brigades, rescue teams, and emergency medical service providers have high priority and broadband demand to exchange information among team and with the victims by using mission-critical voice and data communication. To fulfill these demands, a standalone architecture is desired that can enable communication during the disaster situations. Moreover, broadband in public safety gives law enforcement the advantage to access information, stream video, and collaborate in real time. Law enforcement and border control remains the largest application of public safety LTE. To develop the standalone architecture and technologies, currently many organizations are developing LTE-based disaster support architecture because of its capability to provide the bandwidth efficient solutions. Technologies used in existing narrowband critical communications networks such as Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) and Project25 (P25) have been in use for about 20 years now. These networks are well developed and effective in supporting only voice applications but are not suitable for future higher bandwidth applications with the requirements of high data/video transmissions. Thus, the MC services are expected to evolve into the future by taking inputs from critical communications industries regarding architecture, technologies, and service requirements. Since, in disaster situation there is a possibility of complete architectural disaster, so to enable voice/data communication in this situation, the unmanned air vehicle (UAV)/robots can be used to provide the communication setup by enabling the path towards the core network. Moreover, Device-to-Device (D2D), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are the key drivers in the emergency situation for exchanging information from the MC site in the absence of network infrastructure to provide MC voice and data services. To provide these services 3GPP included the Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) functionality into LTE standard which is the first major step in a series of MC Services and functionalities demanded by the market. Recently, 3GPP Release 14 added various enhancements to its repertoire related to MCPTT, MC Data, and MC Video. Hence, the Release 14 MC services not only required new protocols and security enhancements but also enhancements in existing MCPTT services to enable reuse of common functionalities. Similarly, the Release 15, that will be the first phase of 5G, is expecting more enhancements in MC services.
