Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agriculture ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

The Internet of Things-enabled WSNs are usually characterized by the ability of remotely and precisely locating specific sensing elements, interrogating them and controlling the way it suits the application. This enables innovative deployment models of IoT applications, however, energy efficiency still a big issue in this environment. For WSNs, energy and powering have long been the main challenges that hampers autonomous and perpetual operation of such systems. As such power efficiency algorithms, systems, intelligence and platforms have been and are constantly being investigated and solution pursued and proposed constantly. Of particular interest, in this domain, are energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs), whether fully autonomous or backed by batteries. The EHWSNs which are fully powered by environmentally harvested energy constitute the most appealing solutions that strive to meet the target of enabling large scale deployment of WSNs in “set and forget” scenarios. With these desirable features, which are becoming reality from the industrial side, are emerging challenges to the networking community in proposing networking software, platforms and protocols which are fully context-aware and more importantly, power-aware to ensure synchronized and timely scheduling of the data transmission rounds/cycles in an opportunistic manner. This workshop is inviting contributions that fall into this context, whether these are networking platforms, systems or protocols that are energy-efficient, context-aware and supportive of EH-WSNs or AI/ML assisted methods for enhancing power efficiency in IoT Systems. The scope of this workshop includes (but not limited to) the following topics: * Deep reinforcement learning-driven energy-efficient networks and services in IoT. * Deep reinforcement learning-driven energy-efficient networks for smart cities. * Energy harvesting and power management in wireless networks using deep reinforcement learning. * Energy harvesting MAC protocols * Remotely powered wireless systems solutions * Power efficiency for wireless, mobile and networks * Green data communication network architecture * Power-aware communication protocols and algorithms * Context-aware communication protocols and algorithms * Adaptive, dynamic duty cycle management in energy-harvested WSNs * Cross-layer design techniques for energy-harvested WSNs * Green MAC protocols and channel assignment * Cross layer optimization for maximum energy efficiency * Power-aware, context-aware routing protocols * Measurements and models for energy consumption of wireless networks * Security aspects applicable to WSNs, EH-WSNs and IoTs. Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers—up to 6 pages of length, using the EDAS link http://edas.info for possible publication in the IWCMC 2019 Conference Proceedings, which will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

29 Jan '20

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Israat Haque <israat.haque(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 29. Januar 2020 20:59:53 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE ICNP 2020 -- Call for Papers ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is a premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2020 (https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu) will be held in Madrid, Spain, from October 13 to October 16, 2020. Important Dates Abstract registration May 19, 2020 (11:59 p.m. EDT) Full paper submission May 26, 2020 (11:59 a.m. EDT, i.e., Noon) Notification of acceptance July 25, 2020 Camera ready version August 24, 2020 Scope The conference is soliciting the submission of papers with significant research contributions to the field of network protocol research. Both experimental results as well as formal investigations are equally welcome. Topics traditionally of interest include, but are not limited to: All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis. Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, software-defined networks, data center networks, social networks, peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and Internet of Things. Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, routing, user privacy, and network management. Contributions to network architecture, e.g., specific algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or future Internet architectures. Contributions to other areas of data communications to the extent that they articulate a strong connection to protocols, for example by discussing potential implications on the design or performance of certain types of protocols. Out-of-Scope The "other areas of data communications" in the last bullet above should not be interpreted as a "catch-all" category. ICNP’s focus is on networks and their protocols, and while this encompasses a broad range of topics including aspects of design, analysis, measurement, architecture, etc., papers need to articulate some relevance to networking and protocols. Those that do not will be returned as out-of-scope. If you are in doubt as to whether your paper is a fit for ICNP, please reach out to the Program co-Chairs. Formatting Papers should adhere to the IEEE Conference formatting requirements using the templates available here, and should not exceed 10 pages excluding references. Your goal as an author is to produce a readable submission that complies with the formatting constraints. Violating the formatting requirements to squeeze in additional material will result in your submission being returned without being reviewed. Plagiarism and Submission Policy Papers must present original contributions and can neither be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized material will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and possible penalties, and will be rejected without review. Submissions and Anonymity Papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers (and that of the reviewers from the authors). Achieving this goal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, while on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of related past work, including your own. While this may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achieving the desired outcome: Remove all authors' identifiers, e.g., names, emails, and affiliations, from the title page. Remove acknowledgments to and identifiers of funding sources. Use anonymous names for your files, as source file names are often embedded in the final output you generate, and therefore accessible as comments. When referring to your own related work, refer to it in the third person as you would with any other related work by another author. Besides anonymizing your submission, double-blind reviewing also imposes additional requirements on both authors and reviewers. Specifically, while it is permissible for authors to give local talks on their work and release their paper on a non-peer-reviewed location, e.g., and institutional repository or even arXiv, care should be exercised to limit public exposure as much as possible. This includes refraining from advertising the work on mailing lists and public forums, and in general limiting as much as possible the odds that program committee members be exposed to the work and the authors’ identity. Conversely, program committee members will be advised to neither actively seek to “reverse engineer” the authors’ identity, nor to directly share with other program committee members any such information they may have acquired. All questions regarding possible breaches of the anonymity covenant that underlies the double-blind review process will be adjudicated by the Program co-Chairs. Best Paper Award and Fast-Track Journal Publication One of the accepted papers will be selected for a best paper award. Up to two of the best papers from ICNP may be fast tracked in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, with a streamlined journal review process. Presentation and Registration Requirements It is IMPERATIVE that at least one of the authors of any accepted paper register for the conference at the full rate and be available to present the paper at the conference. Failure to comply with this policy will result in the paper’s withdrawal from the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Exceptions to this policy will only be granted for truly mitigating circumstances and must be approved by the Program co-Chairs before the beginning of the conference.
