October 22-25, 2019. * ** http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTSMS2019 ** *IOTSMS 2019* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.

At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference and present its contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE Press. ***** IMPORTANT DATES ***** Full paper submission deadline: May 30th, 2019 Paper acceptance notification: June 30th, 2019 ***** FOR MORE INFORMATION ***** For questions about the paper submission and review process, please contact the session organizers - find all relevant information on the corresponding web pages below. ***** DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS ***** * Special Session on Distributed Simulations of Distributed Systems * Distributed simulation (DS) is a valuable tool for understanding and evaluating distributed systems. The current computing trend sees businesses and individuals moving toward a more centralized infrastructure, namely the cloud. On the one hand, as the computing infrastructure at data centers is highly complex and distributed, DS becomes essential for diagnosing and gaining insights of the system. On the other hand, the scale and nature of interaction between different components in the cloud present new challenges and push DS's state of the art. Another computing trend that has potential to drive DS is internet-of-things. Such complex systems consist of a large number of autonomous, heterogeneous devices communicating with one another in non-uniform manner. DS is valuable not only for discerning system properties but also for predicting the devices' emergent behavior. Finally, users in online social networks make up large distributed systems. Insights of user interaction and the network's collective behavior --- the study of which fits well into the realm of DS --- bring significant value to both the society and the business of social network providers. This special session seeks to bring together experts and practitioners in the domain of DS to discuss new opportunities and challenges for DS. We welcome research papers on both theoretical and empirical issues. Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2019/dsimdsys_2019.htm * Special Session on Agent-based Modeling and Simulation * This special session focuses on general aspects and special properties for agent-based modeling and simulations that allows them to be applied on several scientific domains, such as sociology, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, and economy. The session is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners, so they can present the current status of their work and discuss the challenges they face in developing solutions and applications for agent-based simulations. Consequently, the design of these simulations aims not only to social contexts but also to more technical domains, which involves highly complex interactive systems. Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2019/abms_2019.htm * Special Session on Simulation of Urban Traffic Management and ITS * This special session focuses on simulation tools and real-time simulation applications used in and for evaluation, management, and design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as well as Smart Cities. Such simulations are expected to offer prediction and on-the-flow feedback for the better decision-making, bringing up means for both the implementation of more complex traffic management systems and end-user applications. Off-line and real-time analyses of data collected from infrastructured systems (e.g. real-time traffic information), mobile, distributed technologies (e.g. communication devices), and socially-build systems (e.g. social networks applications) are of great interest for shaping and influencing how ITS solutions are designed. Thus, we are particularly interested in how these data and technologies can be incorporated in domain-related models and simulations. We aim to bring together experts from both industry and academia to discuss the challenges related to modelling and simulation for ITS.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can play an important role in smart agriculture by collecting environmental data. Their ability to carry different type of payloads such as sensors, high definition cameras, antennas, or even sprayers make it a great ally for agriculturalists. In large-scale applications, e.g., wide area farms, forests or even sea farms, a cluster or a network of UAVs is adopted by opening new paths of research and development in a field which is called Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET). FANETs incorporate UAVs and Internet of Things (IoT) as communicating entities for realizing more demanding and large-scale applications. There is no doubt that with the proper collaboration and coordination of multiple UAVs, in a form of FANET, the emerged system would exceed by far the capabilities of a single UAV system. Single UAV systems usually utilize heavier, larger and more expensive UAVs which in case of a fall could pose great danger to human life and property. Using a single UAV, the amount of coverage is limited, while with multi-UAVs the scalability of the operation can be easily extended. Moreover, a failure in singe UAV system means that the whole mission has failed, on the contrary, multiple UAVs can share tasks among themselves, thus the fault tolerant of the system increases significantly. Since the number of applications a single UAV can serve are proportionate to the systems that are installed on its board, it is quite clear that FANETs can server different application in parallel thus reducing significantly the execution time of a mission. It is quite obvious that FANETs can enhance smart farming management process significantly. Prerequisite for their deployment is a network that will guarantee the proper communication between UAVs in order to ensure their efficient collaboration and coordination. FANETs take on the communication among UAV nodes as well as the rest of the nodes (ground sensors, base stations and gateways). Although there are various advantages of FANETs, when compared to single-UAV systems, several challenges are emerged when implementing FANETs in smart farming systems such as the efficient communication and the coordination among the various flying UAVs and among the UAVs and the ground sensors, base stations and gateways. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of FANET in conjunction with smart farming and smart agriculture applications and systems. In the context of this special issue, we intend to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the FANET applications and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the IoT-enabled agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. =Topics= - Real deployments and case studies of FANETs in smart farming. - Regulations and recommendations for FANETs in smart farming applications. - Management of heterogeneous UAVs in FANETs. - Crop models and decision support systems in FANETSs. - Routing models and protocols of FANETs in smart agriculture. - Quality of Service (QoS) in FANET applications. - FANETs-based edge and Fog computing in smart farming. - Coordination of multiple UAVs in smart farming applications and systems. - Communication methods and protocols of FANET UAVs in agricultural domain. - Human-FANETs interaction for smart farming. - Farmers' acceptance and intention to use FANETs. - Big data in agricultural domain using UAVs. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Energy efficiency and management of FANETs in smart farming. - FANET-driven frameworks towards improving the resilience of farming systems. - FANET application in mixed farming systems. - Embedding sensors and actuators on UAVs for smart farming. - UAVs in precise farming in combination with the related climate change mitigation potential. - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in decision-making frameworks for FANETs. - Modern Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques in agriculture for FANETs. - Security issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Privacy issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Schemes and algorithms that enable the participative design of mixed farming and agroforestry systems through UAVs or/and FANETs. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - FANET applications to increase synergies between crops and livestock. - Smart bandwidth utilization by FANETs in smart farming. - Models and tools adapted to real farm management to grasp the inherent complexity of mixed farming and agroforestry systems using UAVs. *Guest Editors* Panagiotis Sarigiannidis University of Western Macedonia, Greece Email: psarigiannidis(a)uowm.gr Anastasios A.

Karetsos <karetsos(a)CS.NTUA.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2019 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems IEEE ComSoc / SCS Sponsored http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2019/ The goal of this annual conference is to provide a forum for professionals and researchers to discuss and disseminate the most promising contributions on performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modeling, analysis, and simulation studies as well as testbed deployment, field trials and experiences gained are all in the scope of the conference. Work presenting novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime tradeoffs are particularly encouraged. Papers and tutorials are solicited in (but not limited to) the following subjects of interest: Networking Technologies and Telecommunication Systems Future Internet and next Generation Networking 5G & Beyond Hyperdense networks Massive MIMO mm Wave communications Multiple access, multiplexing, modulation and coding techniques Cooperative communications and networking Cognitive radio and networking Autonomic Networks Software Defined Networking Network Function Virtualization Cloud Radio Access Networks Radio over Fiber Flexible optical networks Optical-Wireless communication and systems Visible light communications Internet of Things and enabling technologies Machine to Machine systems Device to Device communications Cyber Physical Systems Wireless ad-hoc Networks Wireless Sensor Networks Delay Tolerant Networks Opportunistic Networks Vehicular ad-hoc networks / connected vehicles Nanonetworks Satellite and Space communications and networking Network design, optimization, management and performance evaluation Traffic engineering, network reliability, Quality of Service / Experience Computer Systems Parallel and Distributed Computing Service Oriented Architectures and Microservices Cloud and Edge Computing High Performance Computing Distributed and Mobile Middleware Computer Architectures Microprocessors Multi-core processors Memory systems High performance I/O Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence Applications and Machine Learning Software Engineering, Performance, Evaluation and Testing Verification and Validation Programming Languages Parallel Algorithms Data Storage Systems Fault tolerance, signal processing, and coding techniques Tools & Methodologies Modeling and Analysis Performance Optimization, Bounds and Models Stochastic Models Queuing Systems and Networks Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications Integrated Modeling and Measurement Mathematical Aspects and Integrated Design of Performance Verification and Validation On-Line Performance Adaptation and Tuning Parallel and Distributed Simulation Case studies, Testbed deployments, field trials and experiences Scalability Studies Special Tracks and Areas of Interest Security and Performance in Computer and Telecommunication Systems Chairs: Jean-Pierre Seifert, Altaf Shaik, Robert Buhren Data security is vital to ensure protection against cyber threats that continue to raise and diversify at a rapid speed. But often, while deploying security mechanisms, the performance of the system is affected in adverse ways. A key challenge in the design of computer and telecommunication systems is to identify a neutral ground between security and performance. Whilst the widespread of devices spanning into networks and generating countless amounts of data absolutely require high performance systems. This makes us to rethink our security systems that can guarantee a high level of performance and also an acceptable level of security. In this respect, we invite researchers and security enthusiasts to submit papers that study and analyze various issues but not limited to such as tradeoff between security and performance, new security protocols in secure communication systems. Edge Computing and Edge-enabled AI for Network Management Chairs: Paolo Bellavista, Luca Foschini, Carlo Giannelli Edge computing is rapidly emerging as the most relevant architectural approach to manage some hard and open technical challenges associated with wide-scale and quality-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications, which typically exploit the elastic availability of cloud resources on the server side. EAINM specifically focuses on network quality configuration, optimization, configuration, control, and management enabled by edge computing in three-layer deployment environments (device, edge, cloud). In particular, EAINM considers as central all methodological, design, implementation, and deployment experiences that investigate digital twin creation at the cloud layer and distributed enforcement of twin control actions also at the edge, typically with complex machine learning processing at the cloud side and more lightweight digital twin execution and refinement at edge nodes. Contributions about enabling AI techniques for these architectures and practical application prototyping/deployment experiences (e.g., for manufacturing production quality control and optimized management of distributed caching) are strongly welcome. Aspects and trends of software evaluation Chairs: George Tsihrintzis, Maria Virvou Software applications are evolving rapidly and are expanding their use to all the areas of human activity by the means of all sorts of hardware, including computers, handheld devices, smart things, digital signage etc. The vast use of software in many contexts imposes the need for the development of new evaluation methodologies, frameworks and processes to address software quality characteristics that include reliability, reusability, effectiveness, correctness, accuracy and also security and privacy that conform to new law regulations. Moreover, the important software quality characteristics of usability, user friendliness and utility have to be ensured for end users of a vast range of disciplines and backgrounds. Thus, measuring and evaluating the quality of software applications has become of critical importance and should attract a lot of research energy. The aim of ASE is to address current aspects and trends of software evaluation. Modeling and Evaluation of Wireless Body Area Networks Chair: Yahya Osais Wireless Body Area Not (WBAN) are networks of medical sensors which are attached or implanted into the body of a human being or animal to monitor and control biological processes. Their performance is limited by their constrained resources and side effects such as heat. Before the full potential of WBANs can be realized, many fundamental issues must be studied using performance evaluation tools and measurements. The aim of MEWBAN is to provide the necessary insights to make the needed progress. Social Network Analysis and Performance Aspects of Socially-Aware Networking Chairs: Magdalini Eirinaki, Iraklis Varlamis, Malamati Louta The rapid development of wireless communications and the rise of social networks established a new research field that stands between telecommunications and social network theory. Smart and wearable mobile devices act as alternative gateways for participation in social networks and introduced “mobility” as a new aspect of social networking and applications. The aim of SANet is to provide a forum where researchers from the fields of Social Network Analysis and Telecommunication Systems Performance will come together, exchange ideas and generate new collaborations that bring us a step closer to Socially-Aware Networking.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMNET Special Issue on "The Big Data Era in IoT-enabled Smart Farming: Re-defining Systems, Tools, and Techniques" - Deadline: April 30 Datum: Tue, 9 Apr 2019 05:45:29 -0400 Von: Thomas Lagkas <tlagkas(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Thomas Lagkas <tlagkas(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies for cross-posting ------------------------------------------------------- *Call For Papers* Special Issue (Computer Networks Journal - Elsevier) "The Big Data Era in IoT-enabled Smart Farming: Re-defining Systems, Tools, and Techniques" (BD-IoTFarm) *SI Website* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/big-dat… *Important dates* Paper submission: April 30, 2019 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2019 Final revision: August 15, 2019 Publication date: Quarter 3, 2019 The continuous generation of data from multiple sources has created numerous opportunities in different domains including agriculture. However, the state of the art in Smart Farming should be redefined and revisited since new technologies and tools are coming in the agriculture domain bringing novel and innovative paths for improving the resilience and the efficiency of agriculture. Smart Farming has started to be materialized and not being simply a vague futuristic concept, as different fields such as image processing and machine learning have found a prosperous area of application. Apart from the technical aspects that Smart Farming presents, it also affects the agricultural sector beyond the conventional farming activities, influencing a series of dependent industries, such as food supply chains, weather and climate change, natural resources management and environmental impact. New and various technologies have invaded the agricultural sector as they can offer new and unprecedented opportunities. Smart Farming uses a combination of technological advances, such as sensors, drones, variable-rate application machinery, satellite navigation and positioning technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. All the aforementioned technologies produce a massive amount of data capable of changing the current status of the agriculture sector, but a series of effective actions have to be developed and established for their efficient exploitation. The Big Data era has arrived for the agriculture sector reflecting its changes to a numerous of research fields. The incorporation and the usage of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the agriculture sector takes place for at least a decade as well as the adoption of sensors for monitoring reasons. Furthermore, driven by advanced GIS technologies, emerging image processing techniques adopt neural networks and deep learning approaches for providing new areas of application in the field of computer vision. Tasks such as crop identification and weed discrimination have become easier than ever thanks to the state-of-the-art classification algorithms. Apart from the advantages image processing techniques offer in the field of agriculture, other related areas have significantly benefited as well. Land mapping, insurance of animal feed quality, weather and climate change studies, grassland identification and earth observation are some of the areas where image processing techniques and algorithms have been successfully applied. The farm industry and Smart Farming expand from the strict limits of the farm location and affect a series of related fields, such as supply chain management, food availability, biodiversity, farmers’ decision making and insurance, environmental studies and various Earth sciences among others. All of the aforementioned fields have significant benefits when they follow a data-driven approach under the condition that the used systems, tools and techniques that will be used have been designed to handle the volume and foremost the variety of the data. Often, smart farming systems are running on unmonitored areas, due to which any attempted or successful breaches go unreported. Worse, since this sector is traditionally not cybersecurity aware, security and privacy by design is not incorporated into the solution requirements. For example, security attacks are feasible by gaining access to irrigation control systems of either a plant or a farm. In the most cases, IoT devices and systems can be manipulated and personal data can be disclosed without the farmer knowing. Even worse, adversaries can gain access to other connected third-party systems, e.g., energy, administration and irrigation systems. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of agriculture in the era of Big Data. We therefore aim to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the application and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the Big Data-driven agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. *Systems* - Cloud- and edge-based systems in smart farming. - Management of heterogeneous Big Data in smart farming. - Crop models and decision support systems in smart farming. - Study of man-machine dialogue systems. - Data-driven methods for anomaly detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. - Role of Big Data in sustainable agriculture. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture. - Environmental Big Data integration. - Smart Farming and its application in Big Data processing. - Big data in agricultural disaster management. - Cyber threats and anomaly detection in smart farming. - Data privacy preserving systems in smart farming. - Deep packet inspection in security systems for Smart Farming applications. *Tools* - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture. - Emerging tools for precision agriculture. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in Smart Farming tools. - Big data online stream processing for precision agriculture and Smart Farming - Machine learning applications in improving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Smart Farming. - Statistical analysis and modeling in Smart Farming applications. - Geospatial analysis in Smart Farming applications. - Advanced image processing techniques and applications in the agricultural domain. - Spectral matching tools in Smart Farming. - Intrusion detection tools. - Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools for smart farming monitoring. *Techniques* - Modern GIS and remote sensing techniques in agriculture. - Classification and change detection of cultivated land. - Data mining and statistical issues in precision agriculture. - Intelligent computational techniques in precision agriculture. - Knowledge discovery in agriculture databases. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture. - Network-based analysis in Smart Farming. - Trust-enabling techniques and methods. - Blockchain techniques for ensuring trust amongst IoT devices in Smart Farming. - Network forensics techniques for Smart Farming applications. *Guest Editors* - Dr. Panagiotis Sarigiannidis: Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications Department of University of Western Macedonia, Kozani, Greece - Dr. Thomas Lagkas: Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of The University of Sheffield International Faculty - CITY College, Thessaloniki, Greece - Dr. Konstantinos Rantos: Associate Professor at the Department of Computer and Informatics Engineering at Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology, Kavala, Greece - Dr. Paolo Bellavista: Full Professor of distributed and mobile systems at DISI - UNIBO, Bologna, Italy ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0" Datum: Mon, 8 Apr 2019 08:48:10 +0200 Von: Guest Editor <si.journal.ge(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Guest Editor <si.journal.ge(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0 URL: http://www.ieee-ies.org/images/files/tii/ss/2019/Security_and_Privacy_in_In… ================================================================================ Industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions June 30, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .
