-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ACCESS SI - Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) Datum: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 02:01:46 +0000 Von: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG https://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/communication-and-fog-edge-com… Submission Deadline: 30 November 2019 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs). With rapid economic development, the number of vehicles on the road has grown dramatically, which introduces an array of traffic-related issues, such as traffic congestion and driving safety. Intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) can provide a safer and greener transportation system, which has been envisioned as an effective measure to resolve traffic problems. ICVs are expected to run many emerging smart applications (e.g., autonomous driving, safety early warning, natural language processing, etc.) to assist both the drivers and passengers in vehicular environments. These kinds of applications typically require significant computing power to perform computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks generated by the vehicle sensors for low-latency response. However, the limited computation capacity of the on-board computer makes it difficult to satisfy the computation requirements of quality-of-experience (QoE)-demanding applications. To tackle this challenge, fog/edge computing are proposed as innovative computing paradigms to extend computing capacity to the network edge in order to meet the requirements. Fog/edge computing is expected to not only maximize the computation capability and alleviate the greenhouse effect, but also achieve sustainable operation by pushing rich computing and storage resources to the edge of the network. The limited computation capacity of the on-board computer brings about an unprecedented challenge for the future development of ICVs. Fog/edge computing provides cloud computing capacity in close proximity to vehicles. Vehicles can migrate the computing to the edge of the network via vehicle to everything (V2X) communication. Processing can be completed at road-side unit (RSU) at the side of the network. The advancement of communication technologies and edge computing, such as Fifth-generation (5G), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), mobile edge/fog computing and so on, makes it possible to enhance computational capabilities, ensure near-real-time responses and realize communication requirements with ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability. The Special Section in IEEE Access aims to provide the latest research findings and solutions, in terms of communication and edge computing for ICVs. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New architecture and framework establishment based on fog/edge computing for ICVs * Advanced vehicular networks technologies, such as 5G vehicular networks, LTE-V and so on * Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications for ICVs * Resource allocation and management based on fog/edge computing for ICVs * Machine learning, deep learning for intelligent management and control * Joint analysis of communication and computing to improve performance in vehicular networks * Cross-layer optimization for fog/edge computing * Mobility modeling and management for ICVs * SDN and NFV technologies for vehicular networks * Security and privacy challenges We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

The key idea is to provide a higher level of automation by combining technologies such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), cloud computing, machine learning (ML) and advanced robotics to enable the creation of interconnected, responsive, intelligent and self-optimizing manufacturing processes and systems. The increased automation can: 1. Significantly enhance "operational efficiency" through real-time process analytics or even end-to-end process control. 2. Significantly enhance "overall productivity" by realizing zero-downtime through proactive maintenance via the implementation of ‘digital twins'. Implementation of either real-time process analytics or digital twining is geared to generate a huge volume of heterogeneous data flows. Consequently, the design of communication interfaces to support inter-connectivity must be optimized to enable convergence between legacy operations technology (OT) and next-generation IIoT. This special issue solicits original research papers focused on Design and Analysis of: 1. Ultra-reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Interfaces for IIoT Networks 2. Spectrum Management and Coexistence Issues for IIoT Networks 3. Architecture and Protocols for IIoT Networks 4. Novel ML methods for implementing Self-X capabilities in IIoT Networks 5. Resource Allocation and Management for IIoT Networks 6. Security, Privacy and Trust issues in IIoT deployments 7. Interoperability and Convergence Issues for legacy OT and IIoT Networks 8.

October 22-25, 2019* *Call for Papers:* Precision agriculture is becoming as one of the most important tool to satisfy the ever-increasing worldwide demand for food products of good quality. Agriculture needs to be enhanced by new technologies in order to make it sustainable in a smart way. In the last few years, several Internet of Things (IoT)-based products dedicated to farming have appeared, but there are still some remaining issues, ranging from data acquisition, interpretation, and reliable collection in some potentially harsh radio environments. The last few decades have witnessed the advancement of the IoT and multiple wireless sensor networks (WSNs), in both the academic and industrial worlds The use of IoT platform and Remote Sensing Data (RSD) to schedule irrigation and fertilization and predict yield may contribute to a more sustainable agriculture in regions of the Mediterranean where irrigation and fertilization are not optimized in terms of timing and quantity. IoT platforms allow a network of devices to communicate, gather data and process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or processes. Technologies can help farmers to practice a more sustainable agriculture, minimizing risks of losing the harvest by providing the resources (water irrigation and fertilizer) needed to secure yield and at the adequate periods. In addition, prediction of grain yield via RSD has additional applications. Remote Sensing Data may help to yield forecasts before harvest and therefore to predict farmers income. Furthermore, the use of software programs is indispensable for the interpretation of the data derived from the Remote Sensing Technologies and then to make decisions of applications in crop fields. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on on high quality, up-to-date innovative original current advances in solutions and research for smart and sustainable agriculture, ranging from IoT, WSN, efficient sensing, cloud/edge computing, smart actuators, etc. *Topics of interest * ============== Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: · Sensor network deployment for smart agriculture · Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture · Farm services and oriented applications for agri-food systems · Cost-effective sensor development for agriculture · Cloud computing for agriculture · Smart applications for crops monitoring and management · Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for agriculture · Sensors for positioning, navigation, and obstacle detection · New Technologies in Field: A Rapid and Usefulness Tool for Accurate Management of Crops · Remote Sensing Data and Water Irrigation Scheduling · Remote Sensing Data and Fertilization Planning: Adequate Time and Localisation · Use of Remote Sensing Technologies for a Rapid Diseases Localisation in Fields · Remote Sensing Technologies and Plant Breeding (Phenotyping to Water Deficit): Selection of varieties (Tolerant/Susceptible) · Remote Sensing Data and its Influences in Farmers Decisions) · Software and Programs Used in Processing Remote Sensing Data · Statistics Tools: Interpretation of Information Derived from Remote Sensing Data for Making Decision *Paper Submission : * ============= Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience.

Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) Co-located with 20th Int. ACM/IFIP Middleware Conference (MIDDLEWARE 2019) December 9-13 2019, UC Davis, CA http://www.dilute.no/dfsd CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================================================== Smart spaces, such as smart cities and smart buildings, are proliferating into a massive scale, thereby, Internet of Things (IoT) data, services and applications are being pressed to move to the Cloud. IoT Cloud integration can enable ubiquitous cyber-physical services and powerful processing of IoT data beyond the capability of individual things. This has been recently extended from the core of the network to the edge of the network (i.e., Fog Computing) to address better mobility support, locationawareness and low latency. Therefore, IoT applications will be further distributed throughout the network, including routers and dedicated computing nodes. With this new trend in sight, developing applications using cloud and fog computing resources introduces many challenges with respect to programing, networking, and service abstraction and distribution. In particular, in large-scale IoT applications with massive number of services, the way to model, develop and distributed services at device-, fog-, and cloud-levels is a top priority design challenge in this area. This workshop aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in distributed computing aspects of fog platforms, including middleware-related design concerns. The goal is to present and explore novel approaches and recent results of the research community and the industry bodies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Fog computing distributed architectures and frameworks - Fog-level task and service modeling and distribution - Large-scale deployments and Fog - Distributed resource management models for Fog - Machine learning for Fog mobility and resource allocation - Cloud and Fog integration - Middleware for Fog infrastructures - Programming models and abstractions for Fog - Dynamic programming models for Fog - Fog mobility - Performance (low latency and scalability) - Heterogeneity and Interoperability of Fog devices *Organizers* Amir Taherkordi, University of Oslo, Norway Schahram Dustdar, TU Wien, Austria *Important Dates* Paper submissions: Aug. 23, 2019 Notification:Sep. 30, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Issue Industrial Internet of Things in Internet Technology Letters (Wiley) Datum: Mon, 8 Jul 2019 15:24:24 +0200 Von: Georgios Z. Papadopoulos <georgios.papadopoulos(a)IMT-ATLANTIQUE.FR> Antwort an: Georgios Z. Papadopoulos <georgios.papadopoulos(a)IMT-ATLANTIQUE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on Industrial Internet of Things Internet Technology Letters Call for Papers More than one decade ago emerged the Internet of Things (IoT), setting the basis for innovative applications for our everyday life. We have now a large variety of both wired (e.g. IEEE802.1TSN, IEEE802.1Qbu, IEEE802.1Qbv, Detnet) and wireless (e.g. IEEE802.15.4, 6TiSCH, WirelessHART, Z-Wave, WiSUN, WirelessMBUS, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 RTA, LoRa, ETSI LTN, mmWave) technologies to connect more and more smart and uniquely identifiable objects. After providing best-effort connectivity, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires a network infrastructure which supports real-time communications. Most critical applications require high-reliability, and an upper-bounded end-to-end latency has to be respected. The Industrial Internet of Things is expected to support many critical applications. Industry 4.0 will rely on wireless and wired infrastructure to interconnect all the actuators, sensors and controllers, even for the control loops. To a greater extent, IIoT is particularly relevant also for e.g. robot control loops, reliable industrial monitoring, critical operation/actuation, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Resilient Systems, Dependable networking, Automated Diagnostics and Predictions; Quality of Service, Quality of Experience, Service Level Agreements; Implementation details and benchmarking of Industrial IoT protocols; Efficient communication protocols for industrial IoT; 5G: architecture, medium access, virtualization; Performance Bounds, Soft/Hard Real-time, Formal Methods; Security: privacy, policy management, IDS; OS and Middleware, industrial cloud; Real-world deployments, Lessons Learnt; Standards-based solutions, Interoperability and Integration; Seamless wired and wireless real-time infrastructure; Handling mobility in industrial networks; Interconnection of legacy and novel network technologies; Applications: reliable monitoring, low latency control, automation, robotics, etc. Manuscript Due Dec 15, 2019 First Round of Reviews March 15, 2020 Revised Paper due May 15, 2020 Final notification July 15, 2020 Guest Editors Georgios Z.
