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. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Social Internet of Things, Social Internet of Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Sahil Garg <garg.sahil1990(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 21. August 2019 10:41:20 GMT-04:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers! IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Link: https://static.wixstatic.com/ugd/3a8387_f232b36e50c449aa9f05797a278990c4.pdf Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019 Overview: With the recent advances in wireless communications, the automotive industry is leading to evolution. To succeed in this emerging era of technology, the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) has emerged as one of the potential applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). It refers to the dynamic mobile communication systems that communicate between vehicles and public networks to enhance the connectivity between cars via technology. By offering a wide variety of infotainment services, fleet operations, and in-vehicle applications, IoCV has gained the tremendous capacity to provide a safer and sustainable transportation system to the society. According to Gartner Inc., “the connected car is already a reality, and in-vehicle wireless connectivity is expanding rapidly”. As a result, the evolution of cars into the IoT will keep on accelerating the global market which is expected to grow by 270 percent by 2022. Further, the increasing deployment of sensors and ever-evolving cognitive technology open up new opportunities for IoCV. Due to these significant developments, connected vehicles are receiving widespread attention from the major automotive giants such as Tesla, BMW, Waymo (Google), Uber, Volvo, etc. Despite all the opportunities offered by the IoCV, their highly dynamic topology and the increasing number of vehicles pose challenges regarding delivering low-latency vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The fifth generation (5G) wireless networks emerge as a critical provider to handle the stringent connectivity requirements of IoCV. Moreover, with the development of massive multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), terahertz (THz) frequencies, millimetre-wave (mmWave), and heterogeneous networks (HetNets), 5G intends to guarantee new capabilities related to connectivity, data rates, transmission delay, throughput and moreover quality of experience (QoE). Thus, integrating 5G cellular systems into IoCV is a promising technology to achieve the goals mentioned above. However, as we are moving towards the 5G communication era, the data generated by connected vehicles is expected to grow exponentially; which in turn brings significant challenges to 5G. Therefore, to promote productivity, improve efficiency, and ensure the efficient handling of continuous growing data, it requires the support of high computing paradigm that can process the data with minimum delays. To accomplish these objectives, a programmable and scalable network paradigm is the need of the hour that can provide a variety of services to 5G-envisioned IoCV in diversified scenarios. In this direction, software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have gained much attention from the research fraternity. They rely more on network programmability to realize efficient network services. However, this traditional device-to-device management paradigm falls short while dealing with 5G mobile networks as it is characterized by a humongous cycle of connected devices. To overcome these problems, intent-based networking (IBN) has evolved as one of the paradigm shifts which combines automation with intelligence. Typically, IBN is composed of four essential elements namely, translation and validation, automated implementation, awareness of network state, and assurance and dynamic optimization/remediation; which takes the networking strategy to a higher level. Due to these fundamental elements, IBN holds excellent potential for reliable network support with quick turnaround and scalable services. Additionally, it also facilitates simplified network operations with seamless integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This, in turn, provides more opportunities to build more robust and efficient network designs for 5G-envisioned IoCV. Thus, this special issue intends to offer an opportunity for researchers (both from industry and academia) to present the dedicated efforts on the key theories, innovative schemes, and significant applications for realizing QoS in 5G-envisioned IoCV communication. This special issue mainly focuses on collecting the original contributions related to IBN-IoCV amalgamation in 5G wireless networks, which aims to provide high-performance scalable computing to connected vehicles while advancing the V2X communication infrastructure. Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: -New opportunities/challenges/ use cases for IBN in 5G enabled IoCV -Machine learning and optimisation-based algorithms, tools and solutions -Distributed mobility management and network intelligence -New architecture and communication protocols -Innovative applications and services -MIMO/massive MIMO/millimeter wave technologies -Big data analytics and Industrial IoT Applications -Role of cloud, edge and fog computing -Secure, dependable and trustable cyber-physical systems -Privacy protection and trust management -Energy-efficient and green communication solutions -Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance support for IBN PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Paper submission should conform to the information for authors available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its.

August 2019 23:19:12 GMT-04:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (We apologize for possible cross-posting) ============================================ Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special issue on "Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: new trends in computing and communications" Submission deadline: October 30, 2019 ============================================ Scope and topics ---------------- Stimulated by the rise of Industry 4.0, as well as by the pervasiveness of Information Communication Technologies (ICT), intense research in Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) is emerging for several applications. The further integration of the Internet of Things within the ICPS scenario triggered considerable research efforts within the new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm, with application scenarios like smart factories, smart energy grids, smart transportation systems, etc. One of the defining features of ICPS is the involvement of a large amount of cooperative computational elements tasked with the control of time-critical and mission-critical physical entities. These strict requirements are also shared by the IIoT scenario to provide unprecedented vertical integration, specialized high-level services, enhanced interoperability and availability. Furthermore, an ever more rising and ubiquitous trend in this IIoT context is represented by Digital Twins, where a real-time update of a large amount of data from the physical system is required to update the corresponding digital replica. As a consequence, both the computing architecture and the communication networks and protocols call for novel paradigms, albeit satisfying stringent low latency, high reliability and availability, safety, and security requirements. Traditional computing and communication and paradigms are not properly equipped to fulfill all these requirements, as they are typically designed to optimize different performance metrics and application scenarios. Hence, new paradigms are emerging, significantly changing the landscape of industrial automation systems and networks. In the computational realm, edge/fog computing is gaining popularity to leverage the enhanced capabilities of end devices, and at the same time, the interest in virtualization techniques is steadily increasing, with the aim of increasing the quality, timeliness and reliability of time-critical tasks. The new generations of communication systems, both wired and wireless, are also focused on ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency information delivery, as well as on enhanced features to enable time- sensitive operations, highlighted by the developing 5G and TSN standards. A common trend in both areas is the increasing adoption of approaches based on machine/deep learning to improve the adaptiveness of such system to different applications and environments. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Concepts, modeling, simulation and validation of ICPS and IIoT - Emerging applications of industrial and smart CPS in healthcare, mining, logistics, transportation, energy, manufacturing, etc. - Security and safety solutions for ICPS - Interoperability and standardization for computing, intelligence and communication in the ICPS and IIoT scenarios - Cloud, edge and fog computing for ICPS and IIoT: resource allocation and management, network slicing, etc. - Big data analysis for ICPS real-time control - Fog-based deployment and management of AI applications in ICPS - Machine learning techniques in real-time closed loop control - Partitioning of machine learning frameworks over fog/edge infrastructure - Real-time data storage, distribution, and analytics - Virtualization of computing resources - Digital Twins in the IIoT scenario - Blockchain technologies for the Industry 4.0 - High performance industrial wireless and wired communications - Emerging cellular networks for critical control systems - Convergence of industrial wired and wireless networks - Cross layer design of computing and communications with enhanced performance Manuscript Preparation and Submission ------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics, see http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: New Trends in Computing and Communications Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal.
