Please accept our sincere apologies for sending multiple copies of this CFP. Best regards, Rongpeng --- *Riding with AI towards Mission-Critical Communications and Computing at the Edge(AIMCOM2, https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html <https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html>) * *Aim and Scope* The ever-growing mission-critical services, like the Internet of vehicles, AR/VR and haptic communications, have sprung recently and required the communications and computing framework to be more reliable, efficient and secure. However, it raises severe challenges due to the spatial and/or temporal diversity of the entities possibly involved in communications and computing, such as the possibly high mobility of nodes, the varying and uneven-distributed number of devices, and the limitations of propagation media and other resources. To address these challenges, one potential solution is to provision at the edge (i.e., in proximity of end devices), where the demands from end devices can be served locally in real-time, rather than being served by the remote cloud through latency-plagued core networks. But the occurrence of mobile edge poses many new challenges in terms of deployment, management and coordination of the heterogeneous and distributed resources. The artificial intelligence (AI) for mission-critical communications and computing is expected to fundamentally address these increasing challenges. Various issues like edge intelligence, AI-assisted PHY design, AI-based resource management are being explosively explored to shorten the transmission latency. Approaches like federated learning and distributed learning are being heavily investigated for superior performance of communications and computing at the edge as well. Faced with security concerns, the interpretability of AI in the context of communications and networks is also a fast-developing hot topic. This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in this field. We invite researchers to contribute their novel research results that advance the development of mission-critical communications and computations at the edge. *Topic of Interests* This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in AI-powered mission-critical communications, networking and computing. Topics of interests include, but not limited to, - Edge intelligence for mission-critical communications and networking - AI-assisted PHY design for mission-critical communications - AI-based resource management for mission-critical communications and computing - Trustworthy AI for mission-critical communications and networks - Network slicing for mission-critical service provisioning - Distributed Learning for mission-critical computing - Evolutionary models for mission-critical communications and computing - Learning theory for mission-critical communications and computing - Age of information theory and algorithm for mission-critical communications and computing *Important Dates* Paper submission deadline: June 26, 2020 *Extended to July 3* Notification of acceptance: August 3, 2020 Camera-ready copy due: August 24, 2020 Workshop date: October 13, 2020 *Workshop Chairs* Jon Crowcroft, Cambridge University, UK Shuguang Cui, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), China Hulya Seferoglu, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA *Workshop Program Committee Chairs* Rongpeng Li, Zhejiang University, China Salim El Rouayheb, Rutgers University, USA Venkat Dasari, CCDC Army Research Laboratory Meddhi Bennis, University of Oulu, Finland Macro Di Renzo, CentraleSupelec, France *Workshop Publicity Chairs* Xianfu Chen, VTT, Finland Guoru Ding, Army Engineering University, China *Submission guidelines* All submitted papers must adhere to https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/submission.html instructions for format except in the following aspects. Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages, including all figures, tables, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Limei Peng <aurora.plm1(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 22. Juni 2020 01:03:47 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special issue on "Advanced Networking Technologies in the Battle Against the Outbreak of Epidemic Diseases" [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for papers IEEE Transaction on Network Science and Engineering, Special Issue on "Advanced Networking Technologies in the Battle Against the Outbreak of Epidemic Diseases". Deadline: 1 August 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At present, COVID-19 is a major global public health challenge. Worse, this epidemic could last for 2 years, according to US experts. To address it, scientific research institutions attempt to actively leveraged networking technologies to fight the epidemic disease, which have effectively improved the efficiency of epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. For example, in order to make full use of the resources of medical experts, the remote consultation system, supporting live-streaming video and telemedicine by 5G, cloud computing, blockchain and other networking-related technologies, has been quickly implemented in many hospitals all over the word. Although networking technologies have played an important role in the epidemic prevention and control, new challenges arise when billions of people around the world have been ordered to stay at home to help curb the epidemic disease. As the virus spread, the networking demand for HD video conferencing and online teaching has skyrocketed. Moreover, many streaming services — like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, have reduced the quality of their streams to reduce strain on the Internet. Therefore, more advanced networking technologies should be deeply investigated and implemented to help us with fighting COVID-19. This special issue aims to explore recent advances and disseminate state-of-the-art research on advanced networking technologies for epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Advanced networking technologies in public health management - Advanced networking technologies for telemedicine, remote diagnosis and treatment - Cloud-based/Edge-based networking services for online working and learning - Stable heterogeneous networking access for medical information transmission - Edge/mobile computing for detecting and tracking infections - Mobility-aware networking services and applications for epidemic monitoring, prevention and control - Crowdsourcing-based approaches for virus testing and research - Soft caching, proactive caching and other approaches for content-orient networking services - Privacy and security of the medical information transmission The papers for rigorous and well-coordinated peer-review process will be collected through the Manuscript Central System <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnse-cs> for *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering*. *Submission Guidelines* Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically, adhering to the *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering* guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tnse/ieee-transactions-ne…>.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 20. Juni 2020 18:03:12 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP), Taipei, Taiwan, December 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Call For Papers* IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP) 7-11 December 2020 // Taipei, Taiwan URL: https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo… Unlike existing driving and transportation frameworks, new paradigm shifts and vertical technological revolution in vehicular services have emerged toward unmanned driving, automated transportation, and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). In addition to equipping with advanced environmental sensing/reasoning apparatuses (e.g., high definition (HD) cameras, three-divisional (3D) panorama videos, point-cloud scanners, or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanners) to facilitate autonomous driving, the next-generation driving vehicles may also rely on mobile network infrastructures to achieve ubiquitous and prompt information exchanges. For example, all-optical indicators (such as turn signals and brake light on a vehicle, and traffic lights on intersections) may be replaced by wireless signals through device-to-device (D2D) transmissions. Vehicles may also exchange their perception data or maneuver plans with other vehicles, or acquire information (such as 3D scenes at interactions) from remote cloud servers or road-site units (RSUs) though mobile networks. To align with this trend, 3GPP has released the service requirements to sustain the next-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications in June 2018, which include 28 use cases to involve advanced driving, remote control, vehicle platooning and extended sensors. To support all these use cases, the service requirements of V2X may include extremely high throughput (for 3D panorama videos or point-cloud data), low latency (maneuver data for platooning), high reliability (control signals for remote driving), aperiodic transmissions (for emergency trajectory alignment), and high connection density. Since August 2018, 3GPP has launched the normative works of New Radio (NR) V2X and enhanced ultra-reliable and low latency communication (eURLLC) in 3GPP Release 16. To satisfy these unprecedented V2X requirements, several new features will be introduced in both academic research and industrial practice, including new system architecture of V2X (e.g., mobile edge computing, cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network, network slicing, software-defined network, etc.), new radio access schemes (e.g., millimeter-wave access, sidelink transmissions, URLLC, massive connections), harmonization among various technologies (e.g., point-cloud compression, multi-view video, 3D vision, environmental perception/cognition, machine learning and artificial intelligent), and new designs for security. The Internet of Things evolution has given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart cities, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). The proliferation of IoV-based applications magnifies the importance and irreplaceability of IoV. Considering the dynamic nature of entities in the IoV, there are a series of challenges including security, privacy, decentralization, trust management, and so on. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, we use Vehicle to Vehicle/Others (V2V/V2X) communication to complement on-board sensor inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on sensor data is vulnerable to data. Malicious actors tend to inject false data or alter communication among normal vehicles. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art innovations, research activities (both in academia and industry), and the corresponding standardization impacts of V2X for the next generation driving paradigm, to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost and enrich activities in the area of V2X. This workshop will also provide a forum for exchanging ideas and networking experts/researchers/engineers/students involved in the emerging field of V2X. We want to collate and publish consolidated research results focusing on analyzing security and privacy threats, applying cutting-edge technologies to provide secure and privacy-preserving communications in the relevant fields. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of the area.
