Kun, Shamsi Iqbal, Microsoft Research, Orit Shaer Title and abstracts due: 15 February 2021 (email pvc4-2021(a)computer.org) Full manuscripts due: 1 March 2021 (via https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pc-cs.) Publication: October-December 2021 Advances in pervasive computing are rapidly changing the way we work. Pervasive computing can improve the way workers connect into productive teams; it vastly improves the ability of organizations to collect and process data; and it provides new tools for using data in feedback loops that affect the physical or virtual world, both as personalized, small-scale interventions and as broad, large-scale actions. These changes are accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis. This crisis resulted in a sudden and dramatic change in how we work. For many of us, the well-known mainstays of work—the eight-hour workday, the office building, the morning commute, the salient boundaries between work and personal life, in-person conversations with coworkers, and sending children to school or daycare—are gone or drastically different than they were before. Even worse, millions of workers lost their jobs, and their prospects of future employment are uncertain. The issues of inequality and racial injustice are even more pronounced than before; sections of the population are bearing the brunt far more than others, and there is a real risk of leaving behind workers who are unable to balance rapidly changing work responsibilities with increased demands placed on their personal life. While we all hope that the COVID-19 crisis will soon subside, some of its effects are likely to remain; not all office buildings will open back up, not all jobs lost will be available again, and the way we used to think about productivity and work-life balance may never be the same. Given these changes, how can pervasive computing support worker and organization productivity? How can it support workers in balancing productivity with well-being? How can it support workers as they seek new skills and new jobs? Furthermore, how do these new circumstances provide a window into the long-term future of work and the role of pervasive computing in this future? And, while we are primarily interested in how pervasive computing can support work, we must be mindful of helping workers maintain their overall well-being. What is the role of pervasive computing in this? In this special issue, we seek to provide a broad set of answers to these questions. The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing any aspect of the role of pervasive computing in supporting the future of work. Review or summary articles—for example, critical evaluations of the state of the art, or an insightful analysis of established and upcoming technologies—may be accepted if they demonstrate academic rigor and relevance. Example topics include, but are not limited to: Tools for remote work: working from home, working while commuting, and meetings with remote participants New ways of getting work done: techniques for interleaving work; easy resumption, engagement, and disengagement; and incorporating well-being needs in productivity tools Technologies for the future of work: networking, augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable devices, and human-robot collaboration Supporting worker well-being: maintaining work-life boundaries, supporting physical movement, and facilitating work attachment and detachment Matching worker skills with job opportunities: assessing worker skills, matching existing skills to new job opportunities, and peer-networks for learning new skills Inclusion and accessibility: technology that is built for equality and technology that supports all abilities Security and privacy: protecting the pervasive-computing work infrastructure from malicious actors and maintaining privacy while providing personalized support for work and well-being Novel ways of measuring outcome: rewarding performance so that it takes into account an individual’s unique needs, incorporating well-being as an integral part of productivity, fostering and measuring creativity and innovation, and supporting self-reflection by workers Novel applications of pervasive computing to support future jobs and work practices Submission Guidelines Articles submitted to IEEE Pervasive Computing should not exceed 6,000 words, including all text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies, and table text. The word count must include 250 words for each table and figure. References should be limited to 20 citations (40 for survey papers). Authors are encouraged, but not required, to use a template for submission (accepted articles will ultimately be typeset by magazine staff for publication). Submissions should not have been submitted or published elsewhere. Please read the author guidelines here. To submit a manuscript, go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pc-cs. Questions?

However, it has also brought serious challenges such as public management of collective spaces, air pollution, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and quality of life. In this context, Urban Computing emerges as a process of acquisition, integration, and analysis of a large volume of heterogeneous data generated from different sources in urban spaces, such as portable devices, sensors, vehicles, humans, among others. Urban Computing is an interdisciplinary area that connects information and communication technology, advanced management of large volumes of data, and diverse data analysis methods to propose solutions to problems faced by cities. In addition, Urban Computing seeks to understand the nature of urban and social phenomena to better plan the future of cities and improve their inhabitants' quality of life. UrbCom aims to create a space for: (1) presentation and discussion of studies in the area of Urban Computing; (2) collaboration between researchers from different areas that, given the interdisciplinary nature, is not limited to Computer Science. **** Topics of interest (not limited to) **** Architectures and Protocols for Urban Environments Data Analysis and Mining D2D and 5G Communication in Urban Environments Data Offloading e-Governance e-Health and m-Health Green Computing in Urban Environments Heterogeneous Data Management Human Mobility Human-Computer Interaction in Urban Spaces Improving Quality of Life in the City Using Mobile Services and Big Data Intelligent Transportation Systems Internet of Things Location Based Services Participatory / Opportunistic Sensing Recommendation Systems Reliability and Security in Urban Computing Smart Cities Social Computing Urban Data Visualisation Urban Planning Using Big Data Urban Sensing Infrastructures **** General Chairs **** Leandro A.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ICNP 2021] IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ICNP 2021] IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Call for Papers Datum: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 19:38:12 -0800 Von: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> Antwort an: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2021 will be held in Dallas, Texas, from November 2-5, 2021. Website: https://icnp21.cs.ucr.edu/ Important Dates - Title/Abstract registration: May 17, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Full paper submission: May 24, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Notification of acceptance: August 3, 2021 - Camera ready version: August 24, 2021 Scope The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research contributions to the field of network protocol research. Both experimental studies as well as formal investigations are equally welcome. Topics traditionally of interest include, but are not limited to: - All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis. - Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, software-defined networks, data center networks, social networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and Internet of Things. - Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, routing, user privacy, and network management. - Network protocols meet AI/ML, e.g., application of AI/Machine Learning to improve network protocols and operations; networking and protocols for improving the performance of AI/Machine Learning systems. - Contributions to network architecture, e.g., algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or future Internet architectures. - Contributions to other areas of data communications to the extent that they articulate a strong connection to network protocols, for example by discussing potential implications on the design or performance of certain types of network protocols. Authors who are unsure whether or not their submissions might fit the scope of the conference are welcome to contact the Program Committee co-Chairs. Paper Formatting Paper submissions should adhere to the IEEE Conference formatting requirements using the templates available here, and should not exceed 10 pages excluding references. It is the authors' responsibility to produce readable submissions that comply with the formatting constraints. Violating the formatting requirements to squeeze in additional materials will result in a submission being returned without being reviewed. Submission and Anonymity Policy Papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers (and that of the reviewers from the authors). Achieving this goal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, and on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of related past work, including your own. While this requirement may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achieving the desired outcome: - Remove all authors' identifiers, e.g., names, emails, and affiliations, from the title page. - Remove acknowledgments of and identifiers of funding sources. - Use anonymous names for your files, as source file names are often embedded in the final output you generate, and therefore accessible as comments. - When referring to your own related work, refer to it in the third person as you would with any other related work by another author. Besides anonymizing your submission, double-blind reviewing also imposes additional requirements on both authors and reviewers. Specifically, while it is permissible for authors to give local talks on their work and release their paper on a non-peer-reviewed location, e.g., an institutional repository or even arXiv, care should be exercised to limit public exposure as much as possible. This requirement includes refraining from advertising the work on mailing lists and public forums, and in general limiting as much as possible the odds that program committee members be exposed to the work and the authors’ identity. Conversely, program committee members will be advised to neither actively seek to “reverse engineer” the authors’ identity, nor to directly share with other program committee members any such information they may have acquired. All questions regarding possible breaches of the anonymity covenant that underlies the double-blind review process will be adjudicated by the Program Committee co-Chairs. All papers will be provisionally accepted and the final acceptance of any paper will be subject to shepherding by a member of the program committee. Submission and Plagiarism Policy Papers must present original contributions and can neither be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized materials will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and possible penalties and will be rejected without being reviewed. Best Paper Award and Fast-Track Journal Publication One of the accepted papers will be selected for the Best Paper award, and will be fast tracked to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, with a streamlined journal review process. Presentation and Registration Requirements IEEE ICNP requires that at least one of the authors of any accepted paper must register for the conference at the full rate and be available to present the paper at the conference. While we anticipate ICNP 2021 will be held physically in-person in Dallas, TX, in the unlikely event that the conference is held virtually or partially virtually due to health considerations, we will accommodate requests by authors to present papers remotely, without physical attendance, and subsequently to include the paper in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. However, any paper that is not presented by an author of the paper, either in-person or remotely, will be withdrawn from the proceedings and thus from IEEE Xplore. At least one author from each accepted paper will be expected to register at the full rate whether presenting remotely or in person. Technical Program Chairs Y.
