EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. *Scope: * The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions. *Topics:* The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Papers should address technical challenges in any type of ad-hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) - Vehicle ad hoc networks (VANET) - Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks - Wireless sensor networks - Airborne networks - Underwater networks - Underground networks - Personal area networks - Body area networks - Home networks - Internet of Things (IoT) - Network architectural and protocol design - MAC, routing, and transport protocols - Resource allocation and management - Network control and management - Power control and management - Topology control and management - Quality of service (QoS) provisioning - Service discovery - Ranging and node localization - Time synchronization - Data aggregation - Network scalability and capacity - Reliability and fault tolerance - Security and privacy - Low-power wide-area IoT networking - Massive machine connections for IoT - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Cross-layer design for ad hoc networks - Software-defined networking for ad hoc networks - Network function virtualization for ad hoc networks - Edge/fog/cloud computing for ad hoc networks - Machine learning (or AI) for ad hoc networks - Performance modeling and analysis for ad hoc networks - Tools to design, implement, and evaluate ad hoc network protocols *Submission:* http://adhocnets2020.eai-conferences.org/submission/ *Publication: * All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by *Springer* and made available through *SpringerLink Digital Library*.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: China Communications (IF: 1.514) Feature Topic on “Collaborative Intelligence for Vehicular Internet of Things “ Datum: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 10:57:33 +0900 Von: Celimuge Wu <celimuge(a)UEC.AC.JP> Antwort an: Celimuge Wu <celimuge(a)UEC.AC.JP> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Call for Papers -- China Communications Feature Topic, Vol.18, No.7, 2021 Collaborative Intelligence for Vehicular Internet of Things http://www.cic-chinacommunications.cn/EN/column/item153.shtml Future vehicular Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems feature a large number of devices and multi-access environments where different types of communication, computing, and storage resources must be efficiently utilized. At the same time, novel services, such as cooperative autonomous driving and intelligent transport systems (ITS), that demand unprecedented high accuracy, ultra-low latency, and large bandwidth, are emerging. These services also have an extreme variance in user requirements and resource demands with respect to time, location, and context. Hence, current research is no longer confined to improving reliable communication and system operation in the presence of highly mobile vehicles, which has been the main focus in the past. It is therefore important to empower future vehicular IoT systems with advanced features, such as real-time reactive and proactive cooperation and coordination among different agents (or decision makers), including vehicles, roadside units, base stations, pedestrians, and other entities. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches have been attracting great interest in empowering computer systems. Some collaborative learning approaches, such as federated learning and multi-agent systems, have been used to reduce network traffic and improve learning efficiency of some smartphone applications. In vehicular IoT systems, collaborative intelligence can be achieved via an efficient collaboration among heterogeneous entities, including vehicles, edges, and cloud. This special issue will focus on the technical challenges and the synergistic effect of collaboration among heterogeneous entities and AI in enabling intelligent perception of environment, intelligent networking, and intelligent processing of big data in vehicular IoT systems. We invite researchers to contribute their original research articles that will facilitate the development of vehicular IoT based on collaborative intelligence. SCHEDULE Submission Deadline: October 15, 2020 Acceptance Notification (1st round): December 5, 2020 Minor Revision Due: February 5, 2021 Final Decision Due: March 5, 2021 Final Manuscript Due: April 5, 2021 Publication Date: July 15, 2021 GUEST EDITORS Celimuge Wu, The University of Electro-Communications, Japan Kok-Lim Alvin Yau, Sunway University, Malaysia Carlos Tavares Calafate, Technical University of Valencia, Spain Lei Zhong, Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: · Collaborative intelligence for sensing and perception in vehicular IoT · Collaborative intelligence for vehicular networking · Collaborative intelligence for task processing in vehicular IoT · Collaborative architecture for vehicular IoT · Collaborative learning approaches for vehicular environments · Collaborative sensing, networking, and computing for intelligent vehicular IoT · Security and privacy issues for collaborative intelligence in vehicular IoT · Federated learning for vehicular IoT · Multi-agent systems for vehicular IoT · AI-based approaches for collaborative resource allocations in vehicular IoT ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Trends and Challenges in Energy-Efficient UAV Networks Submission date: 30 September 2020 CFP link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/trends-an… Call for Papers: Recent developments in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a. drones), sensor and communication technology, coupled with automation and deployment flexibility of UAVs have revolutionized various industries, including agriculture, mobile communications, entertainment and media. The commercial applications of drones providing business solutions is growing rapidly, with an estimated global market value of $127 bn according to a study by PwC. Despite the advantages provided by UAVs in various sectors, they face the challenge of limited operating duration due to the reliance on their on-board battery. This creates interruptions in their missions as battery replacement or recharging is required frequently. Therefore, developments of innovative, energy-efficient methods that will help UAVs to achieve more with their limited-capacity battery or even extend the mission duration, especially for the small-sized UAVs, are essential. Such innovations will enhance the deployment feasibility of UAVs or drone-delivered commercial services. The methods and mechanisms may focus on energy-efficient functioning of UAVs, consider ways of topping up the battery capacity, or even in-situ recharging. This Special Issue aims to publish the latest contributions in the development of methods and mechanisms for energy-efficient UAV Networks. Researchers, developers, and industry practitioners working in this area are invited to present their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in energy-efficient UAV Networks. Due to the complex and dynamic environment that the UAVs operate in, the use of intelligent algorithms, e.g., machine learning/deep learning techniques in optimizing proposed solutions are of high relevance to the special issue. Review papers on the topic are also welcome. Some relevant topics include, but not limited to the following: * Energy-aware UAV network architecture * UAV path-planning and trajectory optimization for energy efficiency * Energy-efficient UAV communication and networking * Energy-efficient UAV communication optimization in 5/6G * Wireless Backscattering for energy-efficient UAV communication * Intelligent power management for UAV communication * Autonomous recharging of UAV batteries * Machine learning for energy-efficient UAV networks * Energy-efficient cellular-assisted UAV communication * Energy-efficient UAV-assisted cellular communication * Energy-efficient UAV-IoT Systems * Energy-friendly UAV-IoT infrastructures in Smart Cities * Energy efficient solutions for swarm of UAVs Important Dates: * Submission opens- 01 August 2020 * Deadline for first submission- 30 September 2020 * Completion of first review round- 24 December 2020 * Deadline for revised manuscripts- 1 March 2021 * Completion of the review and revision process- 1 May 2021 Submission Information: All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.
