As the rollouts of commercial 5G networks continue all over the world, the increasing coverage and continuously evolving capabilities of the technology make it an ideal connectivity platform for a variety of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication scenarios. Critical network-based services enhancing the road traffic safety are able to exploit the ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services offered by 5G. Other non-critical support services can rely on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine type communications (mMTC) services provided by 5G networks and facilitate the operation of the intelligent road transport systems as well as the comfort and wellbeing of the drivers and passengers. The aim of the workshop is to exploit these opportunities from several perspectives. First, the workshop distributes the latest results assessing the suitability of the currently standardised 5G functionalities in a variety of CCAM scenarios. Second, the workshop discusses the gaps identified in the existing 5G capabilities when it comes to the heterogeneous requirements, stemming from these scenarios, and offers new technological solutions to fill the identified gaps. Third, the workshop considers novel services and concepts that 5G networks would enable to improve the safety and performance of CCAM. The workshop is organised by the EU Horizon 2020 5G-HEART<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F5gheart.o…> and Celtic-Next 5G-SAFE-Plus<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F5gsafeplu…> projects.

Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Specialized networked systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and to respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. Also, they might be able to integrate within existing and upcoming mobile infrastructures (e.g. the 5G), by enabling the sensing operations on complex and dynamic scenarios, and to process the data on the edge or to offload them toward existing cloud services. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, ground and aerial robotic systems are in need of new networking techniques as well as of novel cloud/edge architectures for data gathering and processing that might unlock the potentials of such systems. To this purpose, WiSARN aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of sensor robotic and aerial networks.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM e-Energy'21. Deadlines: paper registration Jan. 27th, paper submission Febr. 3rd Datum: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 16:28:57 +0100 Von: Giovanni Neglia <giovanni.neglia(a)INRIA.FR> Antwort an: Giovanni Neglia <giovanni.neglia(a)INRIA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM e-Energy'21, Torino, Italy June 28th - July 2nd, 2021 https://energy.acm.org/conferences/eenergy/2021/ ACM e-Energy is the premier forum for research at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with energy systems. It has established a strong track record for high-quality research in the application of computing and networked systems to make legacy systems more energy-efficient and in the design, analysis, and development of sustainable and innovative energy systems. The Twelfth ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy) and its co-located tutorials and workshops, will be held in Torino, Italy, from June 28 to July 2, 2021 (see COVID-19 related information at the end of this CfP). By bringing together researchers in a single-track conference designed to offer significant opportunities for personal interaction, it is a major forum for shaping the future of this area. We seek high-quality papers at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems. We welcome submissions describing conceptual advances, as well as advances in system design, implementation and experimentation, and we explicitly welcome inter- or transdisciplinary work. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for ACM e-Energy include, but are not limited to the following: ● AI/ML and data analytics, e.g., for tackling climate impact of energy systems ● Algorithmic approaches to energy system problems ● Applications of cyber-physical systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) to smart energy systems ● Modelling and analysis of multimodal and cross-sectoral energy systems ● Automation and control of distribution and transmission networks ● Demand-side management, including innovative pricing and incentive design ● Distributed ledger systems for energy systems ● Economics and business models for smart energy systems, including aggregators and prosumers ● Electricity market and electricity supply chain measurement, modeling, and analysis ● Electric vehicles and energy-efficient transportation systems ● Distributed energy resources, including energy storage and renewable resources ● Energy-efficient computing and communication, including data centers ● Microgrid and distributed generation management and control ● Modeling and understanding user behavior in energy systems ● Sizing, monitoring, and control of energy systems for smart grids, smart buildings, and smart cities ● Privacy, cybersecurity and resilience of smart grid infrastructure Authors unsure about topical fit are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference). General Chairs: Hermann De Meer (University of Passau, Germany), Michela Meo (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) Program Chairs: Omid Ardakanian (University of Alberta, Canada), Astrid Nieße (University of Oldenburg, Germany) Key Dates: Paper registration deadline: January 27, 2021 Paper submission deadline: February 3, 2021 Author notification: April 20, 2021 Camera-ready submission: May 18, 2021 ACM e-Energy’20 conference: June 28 - July 2, 2021 Full Paper Submissions: Full papers, up to 10 pages in 9-point ACM double-column format excluding references and appendices should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been published, accepted for publication, or under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Full paper submissions may also be considered for acceptance as Notes papers. Paper review will follow a standard double-blind policy. As has been realized for the last conferences in this series, selected full papers will have the option of being fast-tracked to a high-quality journal. A full paper submission may extend the author’s previous extended abstract or workshop paper, provided those extensions are substantial. In such cases, authors should (i) acknowledge their own previous workshop publications with an anonymous citation and (ii) explain the differences between the e-Energy submission and the prior workshop paper. Notes Paper Submissions: Notes papers, up to 4 pages in 9-point ACM double-column excluding references and appendices, are intended to discuss preliminary research results, advocate new research directions, or present industrial projects. Notes will be reviewed based on the novelty of their ideas, potential for impact, and quality of presentation. Paper review will follow a double-blind policy. Operational Systems Paper Submissions: Operational systems papers, up to 10 pages in 9-point ACM double-column format excluding references and appendices, describe the design, implementation, analysis, and experience with large-scale, operational systems in the field. While they may not necessarily describe new ideas, they are welcome if they disprove or strengthen existing assumptions, deepen the understanding of existing problems, and validate known techniques in real-world environments in which they have never been applied before. The goal of these papers is to provide new insights and learnings to the research community that can only be obtained from real world implementation and deployments. Authors should indicate in the submission form that they are submitting to this track. Submissions to the operational systems track should also be double-blind. However, given the nature of these papers, it is okay to reveal the company or system name (but NOT author names and affiliations). COVID-19 related information: While an on-site conference is preferred by the organizers, the current pandemic might force us to switch to a hybrid or fully online event. The decision on this will be published on April 20th, 2021 (author notification deadline), at the latest. Online attendance will be possible. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:10:29 +0800 Von: Jianchao Zheng <longxingren.zjc.s(a)163.COM> Antwort an: Jianchao Zheng <longxingren.zjc.s(a)163.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, You are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing Call for Papers With the explosive development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G communications, multi-access edge computing (MEC) has emerged as an effective solution to help mobile devices deal with computation-intensive and delay-sensitive applications. However, computing servers are usually embedded in fixed access points (APs) or base stations (BSs), and thus pose many disadvantages. Recently, a new paradigm of drone-enabled aerial computing has drawn extensive attention due to drones’ mobility, flexibility, and maneuverability. When the computing servers embedded in APs/BSs are overloaded or unavailable, drones can be quickly deployed to designated areas to meet temporary and/or unexpected demands. Moreover, benefiting from line-of-sight properties of air-ground links, aerial computing can effectively reduce task delay and transmission energy consumption as compared to terrestrial computing. In particular, aerial computing can play an important role in disaster areas, emergency relief and battlefields, which are lacking available terrestrial infrastructures. Despite its many advantages, aerial computing also presents some challenges. For instance, due to the high mobility of drones, aerial computing is significantly different from terrestrial computing. Specifically, wireless links to/from a drone vary significantly over time, thus requiring elaborate design of the drone’s trajectory, task allocation and resource management. Meanwhile, in order to ensure low transmission energy consumption and task delay, computing and communication resources also need to be precisely allocated over time. The energy efficient trajectory plan of a drone is very important to extend its service time. In addition, due to the limited computing ability of a single drone, multiple drones are worth considering to simultaneously provide computing service, wherein the movement control, cooperation, and the resource allocation of multiple drones all require elaborate design. This Special Issue (SI) brings together the latest research and innovation on aerial computing. All submissions should neither have been published previously nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. This special issue covers research, development, application, and all other aspects of this field. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to, the following: New architectures, frameworks, and protocols for aerial computing Computation offloading, trajectory design and resource allocation for aerial computing Spectrum management and multiple access schemes for aerial computing Energy efficiency, energy harvesting, and green operation for aerial computing Joint optimization of computing, communication, caching, and control for aerial computing Cooperative design and resource allocation for multiple drones Machine learning and artificial intelligence for aerial computing Aerial computing for edge intelligence in large-scale sensor networks Security and privacy-preserving approaches for aerial computing Design and optimization for aerial-ground cooperative computing Aerial computing for industrial IoT applications Edge caching and computing for mobile AR/VR and tactile Internet Submission Guidelines Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Paper Submission Guidelines. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted by the deadline through Manuscript Central. Select “October 2021/Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing” from the drop-down menu of topics. Important Dates Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15 January 2021 Initial Decision Date: 1 April 2021 Revised Manuscript Due: 1 May 2021 Final Decision Date: 1 June 2021 Final Manuscript Due: 15 August 2021 Publication Date: October 2021 Guest Editors Jianchao Zheng National Innovation Institute of Defense Technology, China Alagan Anpalagan Ryerson University, Canada Mohsen Guizani Qatar University, Qatar Yuan Wu University of Macau, China Ning Zhang Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, USA Xianfu Chen VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland F.
