Induced by the rapid change in consumer electronics towards high performance wireless, also many new industrial applications are about to move into the wireless domain. These strong and appealing ideas create many challenges addressed by recent research. Nevertheless, wired communication is also substantially developing, e.g. TSN, thus improving dependable real-time communication. More and more distributed control applications have an increasing need for real-time data exchange. Mobile robots and UAVs used in factories introduce the need of seamless integrated distributed systems to connect edge computing to intelligent IIoT. Hence, challenging questions arise on wireless and wired communication in IT and OT industrial networks supporting data, sensor, and actuator communication. In those systems, security is a major concern to lay base for safe processes. Measures from AI to physical layer security contribute to a next generation dependable factory communication regardless if wired or wireless. The 17th edition of WFCS will focus on these challenges. The WFCS is the largest IEEE conference especially dedicated to communications for industrial automation systems. It is held the first time in Linz, Austria, an industrial emerging area with leading industries. It is a melting pot of academia and industry.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP Special Issue "Cooperative Perception for Intelligent Vehicles" - Sensors (Impact Factor: 3.275) Datum: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 10:19:56 +0100 Von: Miguel Sepulcre Ribes <msepulcre(a)UMH.ES> Antwort an: Miguel Sepulcre Ribes <msepulcre(a)UMH.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue "*Cooperative Perception for Intelligent Vehicles*" - Sensors (Impact Factor: 3.275) Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 April 2021 (extended). https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/Intelli_Vechicles Automated vehicles are expected to have a significant impact in the transport sector in the next decades, improving road safety and traffic efficiency, as well as reducing energy consumption and improving user comfort. Automated vehicles make use of a set of onboard sensors installed in the vehicle (e.g. camera, radar and lidar) that are responsible for perceiving the surrounding environment, and a set of actuators that control its longitudinal and lateral movements. One of the development objectives is to automatically perform driving tasks with less or even without driver intervention. Several studies have already shown that the sensors used in the perception process have limitations that might degrade the performance of automated vehicles. For example, in adverse weather conditions (such as rain, snow and fog), the cameras will not be able to adequately capture the environment, and in situations where the sensor’s field of vision is blocked (by other vehicles or buildings) none of the current sensors can detect beyond the position of the obstacle. To overcome these limitations and improve the perception capabilities of the vehicles, cooperative perception enables the wireless exchange of sensor information between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure nodes. Cooperative perception, also known as cooperative sensing or collective perception, enables vehicles and infrastructure nodes to detect objects (e.g. non-connected vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles) beyond their local sensing capabilities. Cooperative perception can be key for extended and timely detection of the surrounding environment and can also enable cooperative applications by compensating low penetration rates of connected road users, thus facilitating the future deployment of automated vehicles. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present and discuss major research challenges, latest developments, and recent advances on cooperative perception. This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality papers from academia and industry that aim to solve open technical problems or challenges in the context of cooperative perception. Original and innovative contributions on all aspects, both theoretical and experimental, are all welcome. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Application development and validation based on cooperative perception - V2X communication algorithms and protocols for cooperative perception - Communication technologies for cooperative perception - Radio resource allocation for cooperative perception - Congestion control for cooperative perception - Infrastructure-assisted solutions for cooperative perception - Security analysis and algorithms for cooperative perception - Artificial intelligence and machine learning-based cooperative perception - Sensor design and configuration for cooperative perception - Sensor architectures and technologies for cooperative perception - The impact of sensor data and sensor data fusion quality on the effectiveness of cooperative perception - Sensor data fusion problems, algorithms and architectures in the context of cooperative perception - Simulation platforms and experimental testbeds for cooperative perception Keywords: - Cooperative perception (also known as cooperative sensing or collective perception) - Connected automated vehicles - V2X communications - Simulation platforms - Experimental testbeds *Special Issue Editors* - Dr. Miguel Sepulcre - Dr. Michele Rondinone - Dr. Andreas Leich - Dr. Meng Lu *Dr. Miguel Sepulcre* Associate Professor - Wireless Networks, http://www.uwicore.umh.es Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche (UMH), Spain Associate Editor for IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine and IEEE Communications Letters Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FPLLIHsAAAAJ&hl=en ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency and high-reliability vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity will enable vehicles to collect huge amounts of data generated by the myriad of on-board and external sensors. Once collected, such data needs to be properly processed and mined to allow human drivers and self-driving cars to build an accurate view of their surroundings, so to promptly react to unexpected events and cooperatively plan maneuvers for a safer, greener, more efficient and comfortable driving and traveling experience. Nonetheless the well recognized potential of fifth generation (5G) technologies for future vehicular applications, research opportunities still need to be adequately disclosed, especially when considering the soaring demands of automotive applications ultimately leading to cooperative and fully automated driving and the ongoing 5G evolutions towards more disruptive and innovative solutions at different layers of the computing and protocol stacks. This Special Issue encourages the submission of high-quality, innovative and original contributions (both theory and practice) covering advances in the field of 5G and beyond technologies to enable vehicular applications. In addition, it welcomes also survey papers scanning the relevant literature and ongoing research efforts and experimentations. The technical areas include but are not limited to: * Wireless technologies and spectrum for vehicular applications (IEEE 802.11p/bd, Cellular-V2X, 5G NR V2X, THz, Li-Fi, mmWave) * Novel physical layer and access techniques (e.g., Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Full-duplex, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) * Network softwarization and programmability (e.g., Software-defined networking, Network Function Virtualization, P4, Network Slicing) * Vehicular applications (e.g., tele-operated driving, extended horizon, platooning, cooperative sensing and maneuvering, system diagnostics) * 5G cloud/edge computing to support vehicular applications * Vehicular cloud/edge computing * 5G and potential HMI advancements * Internet of Things technologies and protocols for vehicular applications * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for vehicular applications * Localization techniques to support vehicular applications * Security and Privacy for vehicular applications * System performance and measurement for vehicular applications Paper Submission Link: [ https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its | https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its ] (choose manuscript type 5GVEH) Accepted papers will be published upon acceptance as early access.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - Virtual] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - paper registration/submission January 20/27, 2021 Datum: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:53:42 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM SIGCOMM 2021 August 23-27, 2021 Virtual Event http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/ ***Important dates*** * Jan 20, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Abstract registration deadline * Jan 27, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Paper submission deadline * May 3, 2021 (tentative) -- Notification date ***Call for Papers*** The ACM SIGCOMM 2021 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking research, which includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: * All types of computer networks such as mobile, wide-area, data-center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks. * All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, and acoustic and visible light-based communication. * All aspects of networks and networked systems such as architecture, packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics and evolution, and interactions with applications. * All types of computer network design, analysis, and experimental approaches such as theory, measurements, and machine learning-based techniques. We want each SIGCOMM paper to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or rigorously (re-)evaluating existing ideas. The review process will take the nature of the contribution into account. We strongly encourage authors to discuss not only the benefits but also the limitations of their work. SIGCOMM 2021 will accept submissions to the ***experience track*** in addition to the regular research track. Submissions to the experience track describe the design, analysis, and evaluation of techniques in commercial or otherwise widely-used deployment. Experience track submissions need not describe new ideas, but are strongly encouraged to elucidate key insights and takeaways gathered from design, deployment, or operational experience. The PC will evaluate experience-track submissions with the understanding that the primary contributions may be in extending the SIGCOMM community's knowledge of how known techniques fare when adapted to real-world settings, and particularly in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate, for reasons of scale or otherwise. At paper registration time, authors must explicitly indicate both in their paper title and submission form if their paper is to be considered for the experience or regular research track. Submissions to the experience track should also be double-blind. However, given the nature of these papers, it is OK to reveal company or system name but NOT author names. Each submission will only be considered for one track - either the experience or the research track, but not both - in accordance with the authors' preference expressed at submission time. The final conference program will not preserve the distinction between the two tracks. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2021 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. ***Submissions*** Papers submitted to SIGCOMM typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. The program committee will judge submissions based upon novelty, significance, correctness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the SIGCOMM community. All accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee. Submissions should be in two-column, 10-point format, and can be up to 12 pages in length with as many additional pages as necessary for references and optional appendices. Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, not counting against the 12 pages). Reviewers are not required to read appendices or consider them in their review. Authors should thus ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result. For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, and code, all appropriately anonymized. NOTE: For accepted papers, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Detailed submission instructions can be found here -- http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/submission.html Submission site: https://sigcomm2021.hotcrp.com ***Artifact Evaluation for Accepted Papers*** The authors of accepted SIGCOMM 2021 papers will be invited to submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by a separate committee that will assess how well the submitted artifacts support the work described in the accepted papers. Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary but strongly encouraged and it has no influence on the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive badges printed on the papers themselves. Additional details on the Artifact Evaluation process can be found here -- https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging ***Public Summaries for Accepted Papers*** The SIGCOMM 2021 program will feature public summaries accompanying each accepted paper. In most cases, the summary will be written by the paper's shepherd and will provide an overview of the problem addressed in the paper and its solution, and highlight interesting future questions that arise. The summary may additionally explain aspects of the paper the reviewers particularly liked. Summaries will be published along with the papers in the ACM Digital Library. ***Ethical Concerns*** All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues; papers that don't include such a statement may be rejected. This could be, if appropriate for the paper, simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc.), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if human subjects are involved or other people are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harm to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (https://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatte…) and the ACM ethics policy (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics) for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Review Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the program committee will independently evaluate the ethical soundness of the work just as they evaluate its technical soundness. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the PC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise.
