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. Important Dates: Submission: Final Extension: February 21th, 2020 Acceptance notification: March 30, 2020 Camera-ready paper submissions: April 30, 2020 Papers Submission: 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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xenofon Fafoutis <00000134bbe013e9-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 12. Februar 2020 16:10:42 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE ITSC 2020 - SS on Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation CALL FOR PAPERS: ITSC 2020 - The 23rd IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems September 20-23, 2020. Rhodes, Greece. ------------------------------- Special Session on *Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation* ------------------------------- https://tinyurl.com/u5bz6v9 ------------------------------ Over the past few decades, sensors have not only become more advanced but also made impressive strides across an increasing number of sensing modalities. Despite the improved capabilities and breadth of available sensor systems, those used for intelligent transportation have remained relatively uniform across platforms; as a result, the algorithms and techniques being designed do not take full advantage of the rich information modern sensors can provide. Since all tasks -- including perception, localisation, decision-making, and learning -- are built on top of sensing, exploring alternative approaches to sensing is a compelling research area that can render all subsequent tasks more robust and accurate. The objective of this special session is to explore unconventional sensing for intelligent transportation in three ways. Firstly, it will investigate sensor systems that are not typically applied to certain transportation tasks, such as radar for precise localisation, audio for failure detection, and RF sensing for road traffic estimation. Secondly, it will explore untraditional sensor configurations and placements, such as ground-facing cameras using shadows to detect occluded moving objects. Lastly, it will look into the sensing of commonly overlooked information, such as the use of atmospheric sensors for gauging road surface traction or in-vehicle sensors for driving analysis. Via these three themes, this special session aims to stimulate discussion and research into untraditional sensing in order to improve the reliability and accuracy of transportation systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Localisation and navigation using radars (e.g., scanning, Doppler, and ground-penetrating); * Ego-noise and soundscape modelling and interpretation (e.g., sound-based failure detection, terrain/road surface status classification, urban sound source detection and localisation); * Event-based (neuromorphic) vision for localisation and perception in challenging scenarios; * Multi-spectral imaging (e.g. IR or polarimetric cameras for localisation and perception under difficult visibility); * In-vehicle sensing and wearable computing for failure detection, driver and passenger behaviour modelling; * Far infrared sensing; * Texture odometry; * Novel sensor hardware and designs; * Unconventional sensor placements or multi-sensor systems; * Optimal sensor scheduling and control in complex and/or multi-agent / social environments; * Astronomical (skyward-facing), atmospheric or odor-based sensing; * IoT technology for intelligent transportation and Internet of Vehicles (IoV); * Passive Wireless/RF sensing. ------------------------------- *Important Dates* Paper Submission Deadline: March 02, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: May 10, 2020 Final Paper Submission Deadline: June 10, 2020 Conference Dates: September 20-23, 2020 Authors are kindly invited to notify the organisers of their submissions.
