-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM HotMobile 2021 CFP: The 22nd Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, Cyberspace, February 24-26,2021 Datum: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:16:40 -0400 Von: Yufei Sun <yufeisun369(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yufei Sun <yufeisun369(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 22nd Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2021) *https://hotmobile.org/2021/ <https://hotmobile.org/2021/>* Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE February 24-26, 2021 Cyberspace *Call for Papers* ACM HotMobile 2021, the Twenty-second International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.” We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: · Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility. · Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing. · Wearable computing, internet of things, edge computing, sensing, and context-awareness. · HCI issues related to mobile computing. · Security and privacy of mobile computing. · Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility. · Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. *·* *Mobile and wireless technologies on lessening or resolving various issues related to COVID-19 and future similar epidemics/pandemics.* Important dates : · Deadline for submissions *October 30, 2020, 11:59pm EDT* · Acceptance notification *December** 23, 2020* Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature ideas to warrant publication. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. The submissions must meet the following formatting requirements: · Font size no smaller than 10pt. · Font size of the bibliography no smaller than 9pt. · Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. · Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). We recommend the use of the "sigconf" ACM proceedings template, available at: http://www.acm.org/, with the font size of the main body amended to 10pt. An example Tex document can be found here. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submissions are meeting all formatting requirements. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2021 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. --- HotMobile in the Time of COVID-19--- We have been closely monitoring the progress of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on conferences and travel restrictions. As much as we prefer to hold in-person conferences, the safety and well-being of the community is our top priority. Therefore, we would like to announce that ACM HotMobile 2021 has been decided to be taking place entirely virtual. With the change, we will also be able to offer a very low registration fee while you worry less about travel restrictions/costs. Please do not hesitate to contribute your latest research result to the workshop! Stay safe, and we look forward to receiving your submissions.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With recent advances in energy sharing technologies through both wired and wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other mobile agents) within the network. Such pervasive energy sharing models become particularly important for emerging use cases on circular economy paradigms, such as smart climate-neutral cities or clean connected mobility, where valuable resources including energy need to be administered in optimal manners. Energy sharing can be considered for various types of pervasive mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and electric vehicles (EVs). However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different challenges need to be addressed under different optimization goals. This special issue invites technical papers that will address these challenges in pervasive mobile energy sharing in various network domains. The special issue will span the topics including but are not limited to: - Charger scheduling and placement in wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks - Network-wide distributed energy management through energy sharing - Large-scale energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms - Crowd charging solutions for pervasive devices and vehicles - Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing in pervasive mobile networks - Opportunistic energy sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) - Cooperative energy management and storage in pervasive mobile networks - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) mobile energy sharing and trading - Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) mobile energy sharing (for Electric Vehicles) - Ubiquitous dynamic wireless charging of EVs - Pervasive energy sharing and management in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks - UAV-assisted wirelessly powered networks and systems - Near and far-field wireless power transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks - Energy harvesting and sharing for pervasive mobile devices - New models for distributed pervasive batteryless sensing and computation - Energy sharing solutions for green cellular networks - Hybrid mobile energy sharing networks - Privacy and security issues in pervasive mobile energy sharing - Software/hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers - Energy trading and economy models among peers - Incentive models for energy sharing and smart energy pricing - SWIPT solutions for pervasive energy sharing - Pervasive energy sharing in wearable computing - Pervasive energy sharing in smart micro-grids Submission Guidelines: ------------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Paper Registration Deadline Approaching!] Call for Papers - ACM MobiCom 2021 Datum: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:13:49 +0900 Von: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call For Papers – ACM MobiCom 2021* *Important Dates* *Summer* *Winter* *Abstract Registration * August 14, 2020 23:59 EDT March 19, 2021 23:59 EDT *Paper Submission* August 21, 2020 23:59 EDT March 26, 2021 23:59 EDT *Notification of Acceptance * November 13, 2020 June 11, 2021 *Important Changes* · *Double-blind.* This CFP has updated its double-blind review policy and particularly added how to handle preprints (such as arXiv). Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Conflict-of-interest (COI).* It is the authors’ responsibility to claim the true COIs from the TPC members. Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Resubmission.* We have added a new policy on previous submissions, which may request the authors to additionally submit the summary of changes from the previous version. · *Anonymous shepherding.* Note that MobiCom performs an anonymous and rigorous shepherding process for all conditionally accepted papers. Shepherded papers will be accepted only after completing a successful shepherding process, which usually takes 4-6 weeks. The ACM MobiCom conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the field of wireless networking and mobile computing. MobiCom solicits papers that address important research challenges, including but not limited to communication networks, energy, computing, security, and user experience. Successful papers should propose novel ideas to attack such problems through rigorous analysis, system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems, and applications. We want MobiCom ’21 to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. The more novel the concept, the harder it can be to fully develop or evaluate all aspects, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss not only the significance but also the limitations of their ideas. We strongly encourage authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. MobiCom continues the two-deadline model and the reviewing process with a one-shot revision to improve the quality and timeliness of publications. *Topics* We invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: · Applications of machine learning to mobile/wireless research · Backscatter communication and wireless power · Edge computing · Embedded and energy-harvesting systems · Experimental platforms and infrastructures for wireless/mobile research · Implanted and wearable computing · Intersection between mobile/wireless research, cloud computing, and software-defined networking · Long-range/Low-power wide-area wireless networking · Low-latency networking · Machine-to-machine communications · Millimeter wave and terahertz communications · Mobile data science & analysis · Mobile health · Mobile networks (5G and beyond) · Mobile web, video, virtual reality, and other applications · Novel applications of wireless signals · Robotic and drone-based networking · Security and privacy issues/solutions for mobile/wireless systems · Sensing with radio, light, sound, and acoustics · Ubiquitous computing and mobile human computer interaction · Visible light communications · Wireless localization and tracking In addition to *full* research papers as described above, MobiCom also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear a "Verification:" as a prefix. Two Deadlines and One-shot Revision MobiCom ’21 offers authors the options of two deadlines and adds a one-shot revision process to enhance the timeliness and quality of the scientific results from the research community. Each paper will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as in previous MobiCom conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: · *Accept*: Accepted papers will be presented at the MobiCom conference and appear as part of the proceedings and the MobiCom website. Note all the papers in this category will initially be *conditionally accepted*. The papers that go through a successful *anonymous* shepherding process will eventually be accepted. · *Reject*: Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted until 11 months have passed since the last MobiCom deadline they were submitted to. We strongly encourage the authors to address the feedback they got before re-submitting the paper to MobiCom. · *One-Shot-Revision*: Papers, where a revision is required, will be given specific action points and can be resubmitted for the *next* deadline. For such papers, the reviewers will articulate a maximum of three major changes/clarifications that they would like to see. After the resubmission, the paper will be evaluated based on whether the authors have properly addressed the reviewers’ requests. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results and could take more than 4-6 weeks. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to MobiCom and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. Additional details on the paper submission process can be found at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2021/cfp.html. Please refer to the Call for Papers page on the ACM MobiCom 2021 website for important information regarding the paper submission and review process. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
