-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special issue on “Information-Centric Wireless Sensor Networking (ICWSN) for IoT” Datum: Sat, 19 Sep 2020 04:32:56 -0400 Von: Muhammad Khalil Afzal <muhammad.khalil.afzal(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Muhammad Khalil Afzal <muhammad.khalil.afzal(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Information-Centric Networking (ICN), is a paradigm shift from a location-aware, address-based communication architecture to a location-independent, name-based, and connectionless communication architecture. ICN may appear as a promising candidate to solve many issues of the current Push/IP/Client-Server-based, connection-oriented regid network architecture. Adopting the ICN architecture for resource-constrained wireless sensor-based IoT networks may further improve the data access mechanisms, reliability issues in case of mobility events, and high latency in case of multihop communication. However, integrating both technologies has not extensively been studied, especially for resource-constraint wireless sensor networks. The scope of this Special Issue is the examination of the challenges presented by the synergy between ICNs and wireless sensor-based IoT networks. Therefore, we invite researchers and experts to contribute original research articles as well as review articles about the research topics related to ICWSN. It is intended that this Special Issue of the IEEE IoT Journal will show the state-of-the-art in ICWSNs. Original research contributions, tutorials and review papers are sought in ICWSN-related areas including (but not limited to): • Architecture and protocol designs for ICWSN • Cross-layer protocol designs for ICWSN • Naming schemes for ICWSN • Caching schemes for ICWSN • Protocol Designs for cluster-based ICWSN • Architecture and protocol designs of ICWSNs with various radios, such as LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE, NB-IoT, etc. • Distributed Computing over ICWSN • Resources Orchestration over ICWSN • Producer mobility in ICWSN • Reliability, QoS support, sustainability, and energy efficiency in ICWSN • Security and privacy in ICWSN • Multimedia support in ICWSN • Forwarding and Routing for ICWSN • Test-Bed implementation and measurements ICWSN Schedule Submissions Deadline: November 15, 2020 First Reviews Due: January 31, 2021 Revision Due: March 15, 2021 Second Reviews Due/Notification: April 15, 2021 Final Manuscript Due: April 30, 2021 Publication Date: 2021 Submission All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

The range of application of C-ITS is very large, including driving assistance - cooperative awareness, cooperative intersection management, cooperative platoon control, etc. Thanks to V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) communication technology, all ITS actors (vehicles, infrastructure and other road users) can cooperatively exchange real-time information, leading to increasing levels of safety and efficiency. The V2X technology combines different communication technologies, from short and medium-range ad-hoc direct communication to 3G/4G (future 5G) cellular network communication to realize vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-person (V2P) network connections. Developing C-ITS applications has to cope with many challenges, related to control theory and signal processing as well as wireless communication. C-ITS applications impose different requirements in terms of latency, throughput, reliability on the network and safety of the V2X environment. The CVNET workshop intends to cover all aspects of vehicular communication technologies and cooperative V2X systems. It aims to bring together engineers and scientists from both academia and industry to exchange ideas and foster discussion about the main challenges facing the deployment of C-ITS. The topics are not only limited to vehicular networks but also include applications of intelligent transportation systems, safety systems, connected vehicles and telematics. *Workshop Topics:* Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cooperative V2X communication - Routing and protocols for cooperative V2X systems - Big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence technologies for V2X - Vehicular networks and systems management - Cross-layer design and optimization for vehicular networks - Security and privacy issues in vehicular communication environment - Vehicular data mining - Architectures, algorithms and protocols design for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks - Heterogenous vehicular networks (ITS-G5, 3G/4G/5G,...) - Vehicular data services - Safety and non-safety automotive applications *Submission guidelines:* We solicit both theoretical and technical papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference. Accepted papers will be published in proceedings of the EAI ADHOCNETS, and will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2021, IoTDI will be held for the sixth time, and will be part of CPS-IoT WEEK 2021 being organized in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where the networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to IoT. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on a range of topics related to IoT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Analytic foundations and theory of IoT * Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems * Novel protocols and network abstractions * Data streaming architectures and machine learning analytics for IoT * IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems * Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms * Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications * Edge and fog computing * Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends * Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues * Applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) * Deployment experiences, case studies & lessons learned * Evaluation and testbeds * AI/ML for IoT & Embedded Systems * Energy/Power Management & Harvesting for IoT Platforms Accepted papers of particular merit will be invited to submit an extended version to the IEEE IoT Journal (IoT-J). For papers reporting results based on experiments with human subjects, appropriate ethics approvals should be demonstrated as part of the submission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPS-IoT WEEK 2021 CPS-IoT Week (https://sigbed.org/cps-iot2020-2/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsigbed.or…>) is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems.
