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. IEEE WiSARN 2021 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshop’s topics.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 4th Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21) co-located with ACM EuroSys 2021 Datum: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 15:20:09 +0000 Von: Matthew Danish <mrd45(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: Matthew Danish <mrd45(a)CAM.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call.) ----------------------------------------------- The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21) co-located with EuroSys 2021 26 April, 2021 | Edinburgh, Scotland, UK https://edge-sys.github.io/2021/ ----------------------------------------------- Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the decentralized edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. In this context, the EdgeSys workshop focuses on the confluence of edge computing, decentralized communication and distributed computing. For example, there are several industry-led edge computing and orchestration platforms such as KubeEdge, Firecracker, and Azure Sphere. In the decentralized communication space, systems such as Mastodon and Matrix have been developed. There are also lots of academic research activities on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Talket, ThinkAir, MAUI, and MADNet) and systems that combine decentralization and computation/storage offloading together, such as IPFS. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21), in conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2021, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys'21 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI "Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems"
by Lars Wolf 04 Dec '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI "Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems" Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2020 11:42:12 -0800 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers --------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) Special Issue on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems --------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- Several recent developments like the advent of the Internet-of-Things, network softwarization, mission-critical applications, and artificial intelligence have posed challenges for the Internet, and more generally for networks and distributed systems: (1: IoT) The Internet-of-Things will boost the number of Internet nodes well beyond the billions, leads to new traffic patterns (e.g., high-frequency low-volume), and accelerates the other developments described hereafter. (2: SDN++) Softwarization "conquers" the net. What has started with SDN and NFV will continue to lead to more flexibility and enable disruptive change, such as the competitive co-existence of old and new, e.g., content-centric, world-wide networks. As this softwarization significantly increases the complexity of today's networks, new and more security problems will result. Moreover, softwarization comes at a performance price, which is at odds with mission-critical, real-time communication. (3: MCA) Mission-critical applications, formerly confined to dedicated real-time systems and (TSN, industrial Ethernet, ...) networks, are conquering public and wide area networks. This impacts technologies and protocols (such as 5G URLLC) as well as architectures, such as approaches to move cloud functionality closer to the action scene, e.g., via fog and edge computing. (4: AI.net) The resurgence of AI, evoked by stunning successes of machine learning, boosts the need for computing resources that cannot be embedded in myriads of IoT devices and energy-critical handhelds like smartphones. This and the need for joint processing, requires shuffling 'big data' from the action scene to those resources, accelerating the need for offloading approaches and, depending on the application and the distribution of stakeholders, aggravating the three afore-mentioned challenges. These four challenges - abbreviated as IoT, SDN++, MCA, and AI - are densely interwoven, both mutually supporting and mutually aggravating each other. In the TOIT special issue, we bring together contributions to all four challenges and seek to track down their positive and negative interdependencies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --------------------------------------------------- * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and their application in, and impacts on, networking * Evolution from cloud computing to mobile cloud, fog and edge computing * Consistency, reliability, availability, and programming support for meeting the MCA challenge in networks * Contributions to the four challenges in context of cyber-physical systems * Emerging networked applications * Green and energy-efficient networks and networked systems * Information-centric networking, content distribution and retrieval, and their co-existence with classical networks * Network architectures and protocols * Approaches to the pertinent network security and privacy aspects * Methods for design, implementation, and analysis of networked systems considering the recent challenges and advances * Pertinent middleware architectures and platforms for networked systems * Pertinent concepts for mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular, sensor networks * Advancements to software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and further network softwarization * Reflection of recent challenges in SoA, web services, and mobile services * Advancements in social networks, social computing, data-intensive computing * Novel concepts for tactile and low-latency communication * Transport- and application-layer protocols in response to the four challenges Submission Instructions ----------------------- Please refer to http://toit.acm.org/authors.cfm for submission instructions. Submit your paper at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acm/toit and select the SI “Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems”. However, please be aware that the submission will not be possible until one month before the actual deadline. Important Dates --------------- * Manuscript submission: 31 March 2021 * First notification: 31 June 2021 * Revised version: 31 August 2021 * Final notification: 30 September 2021 * Final paper due: 15 October 2021 * Publication date: To be scheduled 2021/2022 Guest Editors ------------- * Prof. Jörg Liebherr, University of Toronto, Canada * Prof. Mathias Fischer, Universität Hamburg, Germany * Prof. Max Mühlhäuser, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Prof. Winfried Lamersdorf, Universität Hamburg, Germany Fur further information, please email mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
