HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for posters and demonstrations describing novel work on mobile systems, applications, and services. Given the current circumstances, live poster presentations and demos will run in parallel over video link during a dedicated session, with participants being able to drop in and out, as they would in an in-situ setting. As backup, authors of posters and demonstrations will be required to have pre-recorded versions of their poster presentations/demos. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with workshop attendees. Posters are well suited to controversial work that can generate discussion or promising new ideas which have not been thoroughly evaluated. Demos provide an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of your research. We are looking for new ways of presenting demos and posters, exploiting the possibility of a video link in original and novel ways. For example, demos can be video streamed from labs (where local provisions permit), outdoors, using web portals/Jupyter notebooks/Colab, or involve app downloads via links provided and user testing. The poster/demo session will feature a Best Poster/Demo award. *Submission* Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Poster/Demo Chair ( paul.patras(a)ed.ac.uk). * subject line for posters: HOTMOBILE POSTER SUBMISSION * subject line for demos: HOTMOBILE DEMO SUBMISSION **Abstract deadline: Jan 20th, 2021* *More details on the submission process:* * Please set up your page to be letter size, 8.5x11 inches, two columns, using 10-pt font size for the text body, at least one-inch margin on all sides; * Please include the title of the poster/demo and the author list, including affiliations in both the PDF file and in the body of the email; * Please prefix your title with “Poster:” for a poster submission and “Demo:” for a demo submission; * The abstract should be attached in PDF format. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ICC Workshop 2021 | I-CPSaaS

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ICC Workshop 2021 | I-CPSaaS Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 17:27:06 -0500 Von: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We are looking for high-quality papers for our upcoming workshop in IEEE ICC 2021 entitled "I-CPSaaS: Sensing-as-a-Service for Industrial Cyber Physical Systems". Scope With the advent of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the industrial sector has witnessed substantial changes over the last couple of years. These changes when integrated with the conventional systems not only help to upscale their productions but also help them to achieve their business goals. The ongoing expansion across different domains such as manufacturing, energy systems, transportation, automated vehicles, etc is a perfect example of actively applying this innovative technology to the industrial sector. The major precursors behind this advancement of IIoT can be attributed to more product variability, enhanced quality of products, growing global competition, decreased product cost, and shorter manufacturing time. To cater to the above-mentioned challenges, IIoT leverages the concept of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (I-CPS); which enable interactions amongst the machines, data, and humans. Sensing-as-a-Service (S2aaS) is considered as key component of the I-CPS and is assumed to resides somewhere between the cyber and physical worlds. It also helps in integrating the IIoT data with the marketplace analysing and trading on the gathered data. Nonetheless, the sensors are not necessarily the physical sensors interacting with the environment, but they can be virtual too. In S2aaS, the virtual sensors can be any entity that produces data such as social media accounts, quantified self apps, weather APIs, etc. The data generated from these sensors needs real-time analysis to derive value for its marketplace; and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing has a significant role to play in the context. This computing paradigm can offer promising results for CPS applications that are characterised by geo-distribution, latency-sensitivity and high-resilience. Topics We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fusion of cyber and physical knowledge for reliable, efficient and robust decision-making • Design, implementation, and test of Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing platform for I-CPS. • Sensors for network anomaly detection and ensure security, privacy and trustworthiness • Efficient computational and communication models for implementing S2aaS in I-CPS • Use of S2aaS for fault diagnosis in I-CPS • Use case scenarios for employing Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing for providing sensor-as-a-service in I-CPS • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence solutions for Industrial domain specific CPS • Physical and Virtual Senor fusion with Industrial Internet of Things and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing • Management of heterogeneous and homogenous data coming from sensors deployed in I-CPS Paper Submission The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. The page length limit for all initial submissions for review is SIX (6) printed pages (10-point font) and must be written in English. All final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. No more than one (1) additional printed page (10-point font) may be included in final submissions and the extra page (the 7th page) will incur an over length page charge of USD100.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems Datum: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 13:07:24 -0800 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers --------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) Special Issue on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems --------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- Several recent developments like the advent of the Internet-of-Things, network softwarization, mission-critical applications, and artificial intelligence have posed challenges for the Internet, and more generally for networks and distributed systems: (1: IoT) The Internet-of-Things will boost the number of Internet nodes well beyond the billions, leads to new traffic patterns (e.g., high-frequency low-volume), and accelerates the other developments described hereafter. (2: SDN++) Softwarization "conquers" the net. What has started with SDN and NFV will continue to lead to more flexibility and enable disruptive change, such as the competitive co-existence of old and new, e.g., content-centric, world-wide networks. As this softwarization significantly increases the complexity of today's networks, new and more security problems will result. Moreover, softwarization comes at a performance price, which is at odds with mission-critical, real-time communication. (3: MCA) Mission-critical applications, formerly confined to dedicated real-time systems and (TSN, industrial Ethernet, ...) networks, are conquering public and wide area networks. This impacts technologies and protocols (such as 5G URLLC) as well as architectures, such as approaches to move cloud functionality closer to the action scene, e.g., via fog and edge computing. (4: AI.net) The resurgence of AI, evoked by stunning successes of machine learning, boosts the need for computing resources that cannot be embedded in myriads of IoT devices and energy-critical handhelds like smartphones. This and the need for joint processing, requires shuffling 'big data' from the action scene to those resources, accelerating the need for offloading approaches and, depending on the application and the distribution of stakeholders, aggravating the three afore-mentioned challenges. These four challenges - abbreviated as IoT, SDN++, MCA, and AI - are densely interwoven, both mutually supporting and mutually aggravating each other. In the TOIT special issue, we bring together contributions to all four challenges and seek to track down their positive and negative interdependencies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --------------------------------------------------- * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and their application in, and impacts on, networking * Evolution from cloud computing to mobile cloud, fog and edge computing * Consistency, reliability, availability, and programming support for meeting the MCA challenge in networks * Contributions to the four challenges in context of cyber-physical systems * Emerging networked applications * Green and energy-efficient networks and networked systems * Information-centric networking, content distribution and retrieval, and their co-existence with classical networks * Network architectures and protocols * Approaches to the pertinent network security and privacy aspects * Methods for design, implementation, and analysis of networked systems considering the recent challenges and advances * Pertinent middleware architectures and platforms for networked systems * Pertinent concepts for mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular, sensor networks * Advancements to software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and further network softwarization * Reflection of recent challenges in SoA, web services, and mobile services * Advancements in social networks, social computing, data-intensive computing * Novel concepts for tactile and low-latency communication * Transport- and application-layer protocols in response to the four challenges Submission Instructions ----------------------- Please refer to http://toit.acm.org/authors.cfm for submission instructions. Submit your paper at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acm/toit and select the SI “Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems”. However, please be aware that the submission will not be possible until one month before the actual deadline. Important Dates --------------- * Manuscript submission: 31 March 2021 * First notification: 31 June 2021 * Revised version: 31 August 2021 * Final notification: 30 September 2021 * Final paper due: 15 October 2021 * Publication date: To be scheduled 2021/2022 Guest Editors ------------- * Prof. Jörg Liebherr, University of Toronto, Canada * Prof. Mathias Fischer, Universität Hamburg, Germany * Prof. Max Mühlhäuser, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Prof. Winfried Lamersdorf, Universität Hamburg, Germany Fur further information, please email mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-SwarmNet 2021 - 3rd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for UAV Swarms Datum: Mon, 4 Jan 2021 08:19:34 -0700 Von: Fatemeh Afghah <fatemeh.afghah(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Fatemeh Afghah <fatemeh.afghah(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *SwarmNet 2021* 3rd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for UAV Swarms June 7-11,2021, Pisa, Italy ( http://wowmom2021.iit.cnr.it/workshops/swarmnet-2021/) Recent advances in embedded computing, wireless communication, flight controllers, and miniaturized sensing have enabled the growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Networked swarms of such UAVs promise breakthroughs in public safety, commercial, and military applications including search-and-rescue, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, virtual/augmented reality, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working at the intersection of wireless networking, mobile computing, sensing, robotics, and/or planning to address a myriad of fundamental technical challenges that must be solved before UAV swarms (and, more broadly, multi-UAV systems) can be safely, effectively, and widely deployed. Since many of these challenges will not be able to be addressed without the help of UAV swarm simulation platforms, experimental testbeds/prototypes, and experimental evaluations, papers on these topics are especially encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Communication and networking protocols for UAV swarms - Resilient communication protocols for multi-agent planning and control - Delay-tolerant networking for UAVs - Network topology control for performance optimization (connectivity, throughput, etc.) - Wireless localization for UAVs - Communication architectures and technologies for UAV air-traffic control - UAVs in 4G/5G cellular networks - UAV integration in the urban IoT - Aerial video streaming for virtual/augmented reality - Data offloading and mobile edge computing with UAVs - Spectrum management and interference management techniques for UAV networks - Air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ground-to-air channel modeling for UAVs - Cyber-security for UAVs - UAV swarm network simulation platforms - Onboard AI for UAV-enabled aerial intelligence - UAV swarm network testbeds, experimental evaluation, and prototyping Submissions may be up to 6 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For the camera-ready (accepted) papers, authors can buy one additional page, for a total length of up to 7 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS (TBA – Please visit the workshop’s website for updates) by March 1, 2021. *Important Dates:* *Paper submission deadline:* *March 1, 2021* *Author Notification:* April 1, 2021 *Camera-ready submission:* April 19, 2021 *Workshop date:* June 7, 2021 *Organizing committee:* Nick Mastronarde, University at Buffalo, USA Jacob Chakareski, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA Fatemeh Afghah, Northern Arizona University, USA ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
