-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CPS-IoTBench'21: Call for Papers and for Reproducibility Studies Datum: Mon, 28 Dec 2020 08:20:23 -0500 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <000001f9fb5aae12-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)TUGRAZ.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 4th Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench 2021) -- https://www.iotbench.ethz.ch/cps-iotbench-2021 Virtual event co-located with CPS-IoT Week -- May 18, 2021 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Research on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has bloomed over the last decade. This research has led to the development of smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes and cities to smart grids and factories. Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as control, embedded and real-time systems, wireless communication, and networking. Despite these advances, a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies makes it difficult to measure and compare the utility of this progress. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to present and future real-world CPS/IoT applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming, as it significantly hinders further progress in CPS and IoT research. The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) has been a forum to bring together researchers from different communities since 2018, to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing CPS and IoT solutions. CPS-IoTBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system perspective. *** Call for Papers and for Reproducibility Studies *** For the workshop's 4th edition, which will take place in a virtual form within CPS-IoT Week, we invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit papers that focus on one of the following: - Presenting exemplary benchmarking systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (e.g., embedded systems, real-time systems, networking, wireless communication and control, robotics, machine learning). - Identifying fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of CPS and IoT solutions. - Offering a constructive critique of the current practices and state of experimental comparisons. - Designing and evaluating benchmarking methodologies, infrastructures, or tools for cyber-physical and IoT systems. - Benchmarking industrial standardized solutions against each other and against academic solutions. - Presenting novel performance comparisons in the context of cyber-physical and IoT systems. - Reporting on success stories or failures when using standard evaluation criteria. - Describing techniques for improving the reproducibility of real-world testing of wireless systems. - Proposing new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Unique to this year's workshop edition, we also seek contributions describing the reproduction of experimental results from published work within any of the relevant communities. Examples of this include: - Papers that repeat prior experiments (ideally using the original source code) to show how, why, and when the methods work (or not). - Papers that repeat prior experiments in new contexts (e.g., different application domains or using different evaluation methodologies and metrics) to further generalize and validate (or not) previous work. - Reproducibility studies of a given scientific work for which some key aspect(s) in the experimental setup was unspecified, showing the different spectrum of solutions as a function of such aspect(s). - Evaluations carried out by undergraduate and graduate students, experienced researchers, or industry practitioners looking to validate another piece of work before comparing their own to it. Reports should carefully describe the experimental setup as well as how the authors made sure to carefully reproduce conditions similar to those of the original study. If there are ambiguous conditions not specified in the original study which may affect the outcome (e.g. it is not specified whether the environment is an empty room or full of people), authors are encouraged to highlight, discuss, and empirically explore the impact of changing such a condition. Regardless of the study results, the tone of the report must be constructive and not offensive to the original authors. Prospective authors are invited to contact the original authors of the examined study and let them provide a short discussion paragraph that can be included in the final section of the report. Submissions from the same authors of the reproduced experiments will not be accepted. *** Submission Instructions *** Submitted papers must contain at most 6 pages (US letter, 9pt font size, double-column format, following the ACM master article template), including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English and should contain the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the CPS-IoT Week 2021 proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work in a plenary session as part of the main workshop program. *** Important Dates *** Paper submission: February 15, 2021 (AoE) Notification of acceptance: March 17, 2021 Camera-ready: March 26, 2021 Workshop date: May 18, 2021 *** Workshop Organizers *** - Michael Baddeley (Technology Innovation Institute, UAE) - Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) - Michael Breza (Imperial College London, United Kingdom) - Romain Jacob (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Ramona Marfievici (Digital Catapult, United Kingdom) - Pat Pannuto (University of California, San Diego, USA) - Marco Zimmerling (TU Dresden, Germany) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Accordingly, registration fees will be fixed at affordable prices. Further information will be posted soon on the conference website: https://www.icin-conference.org About ICIN Since 1989, the ICIN conferences have been bringing together leading Internet and telecom experts from industry, academia and government from across the globe. ICIN is a single track conference that is both intimate and global, attracting 100+ delegates, from more than 20 countries. It focuses on leading edge investigations into Internet technologies, from basic networking and cloud services to novel architectures. ICIN uses a rigorous peer-review process and has become an established industry forum to discuss emerging trends in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). It offers an agora for one-on-one discussions and cross-fertilization between participants and leading network visionaries, with the goal of promoting dialogue and ideation about the current and future trends in networking research and development. ICIN conferences are well known for their identification of research challenges and industry trends and their discussion on the impact of cutting-edge technologies on future intelligent and distributed networking, and related computing services. ICIN has an enviable track record of identifying key technologies and services – and analysing their impact on business models – before they become widely recognized in the industry and government communication sectors. The interdisciplinary approach and the cross-fertilization of ideas are the main ingredients that made ICIN a recognized event in the telecommunications, cloud networking and Internet communities. ICIN 2021 For 2021 ICIN is focussing on the melding of network and computing services that is clearly demonstrated by the increasing softwarization of the network services in the core and the access networks, the rise of computing in the network and the growth of cognition in networking for management and control, as well as for value added services at the edge and in the data center. Several innovations are impacting the ongoing transformations toward the network of the future and the evolution of cloud services. More and more the network fabric itself emcompasses functionality usually associated with computing as increased intelligence and cognition are necessary to address emerging requirements of distributed services, automation and network reliability. At the same time, more and more, the cloud is extending to the edge adding a number of heterogeneous networked subsystems to the Internet with a variety of requirements that further highlight the need for novel architectures, e.g., IoT systems, augmented and virtual reality and service delivery platforms. The result is the networking and computing systems becoming one, melding, as a distributed cloud/edge continuum with cognition and intelligence for emerging services. This “Computing and Networking as a Service” is the paradigm that will be central to the deployment of immersive services in many different sectors, such as e-health, self-driving cars, industrial networks, agriculture and cloud robotics. In this regard, there is a need for a variety of mechanisms enabling the new generation of service offerings at different levels (consumer, business, government, social, service provider ecosystem platforms). In this scenario and considering the many challenges that the aforementioned paradigms and technologies will bring, the theme for ICIN 2021 is: "Services everywhere: melding networking and computing in an intelligent cloud-edge continuum" The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and novel approaches for future service concepts, service delivery and their enabling technologies and mechanisms in the emerging scenario of immersive intelligence and service level awareness. With this vision, the conference will look beyond the current state of the art and promote the advances of Computing as a Service technologies for different application service delivery platforms. Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research, research related to business impact or mechanisms of new technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing
by Lars Wolf 17 Dec '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 14:43:51 +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 [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP]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.
