INTRODUCTION The number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is predicted to reach 38.6 billion by 2025. These connected devices, ranging from user devices to more complex systems, such as vehicles and power grids, are equipped with sensing, actuating, communication, processing, and storage capabilities, and they generate huge amounts of data of various types. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous IoT devices while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the IoT devices are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology closer to IoT devices, such as home routers, gateways, or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or to host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as "Fog/Edge computing". The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, to allow the usage of opportunistic and cheap computing, and to leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which require the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. New abstractions and extensions to current programming and storage models are necessary to allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven edge systems. Addressing security, privacy, and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context of mobile, transient and hardware-constrained resources. The integration of edge computing and 5G will also bring new opportunities and unique challenges. Enabling machine/deep learning at the edge is critical for many applications. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and smart health need to be supported by fog and edge resources. CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing * Mobility management in fog/edge computing * Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Programming models for fog/edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing * Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing * Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog * Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments * Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures * Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Gesendet: 18. Oktober 2021 04:13:23 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] 7th ACM/IEEE Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI 2022) [We sincerely apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for papers IoTDI 2022 7th ACM/IEEE Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation. May 3-6, 2022 - Milan, Italy https://conferences.computer.org/iotDI/2022/ Call for papers The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2022, IoTDI will be held for the seventh time, and will be part of CPS-IoT WEEK 2022 (https://cpsiotweek.neslab.it) being held in Milan, Italy. 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. AI/ML technology promise unprecedented levels of automation in system operation and data processing. Smart cities grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources, together with machine intelligence algorithms that extract value for applications. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social media are becoming ubiquitous, offering additional information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new multi-disciplinary field, where the networking and physical realms meet, often in social spaces. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in IoT system design and implementation. This conference invites original, previously unpublished work on a range of IoT topics, broadly defined. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Analytic foundations and theory of IoT . Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems . Machine intelligence for IoT systems and applications . Social applications and social data analytics for IoT .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TNSM - Special Issue on “Design Reliable Communication Networks” - Deadline Approaching (Nov. 1st) Datum: Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:13:29 +0000 Von: Massimo Tornatore <massimo.tornatore(a)POLIMI.IT> Antwort an: Massimo Tornatore <massimo.tornatore(a)POLIMI.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Sorry for multiple postings! IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management Special Issue on “Recent Advances in the Design and Management of Reliable Communication Networks” Reliability of communication infrastructures is a top priority for network operators. To ensure reliable network operation, new design and management techniques must be constantly devised to respond to the rapid network and service evolution. As a recent and relevant example, deployments of 5G communication networks will soon enter their second phase, during which the network infrastructure will require upgrades to support new Ultra-Reliable services with availability of up to 6 nines. Similarly, disaster resiliency in communication networks is now attracting the attention of media, governments and industry as never before (consider, e.g., the worldwide network traffic deluge to support remote working during the current COVID19-pandemic!). Luckily, several new technical directions can be leveraged to provide new solutions for network reliability such as for example: increased network reconfigurability enabled by Software Defined Networking (SDN); integration/convergence of multiple technologies (optical, wireless, satellite, datacenter networks); enhanced forms of data/service replication, supported by, e.g., edge computing; network slicing, used to carve highly-reliable logical partitions of network, computing and storage resources. These, and many other technological transformations can enable next-generation high-reliability networks. Given the strong interest in both industry and academia towards reliability of telecom networks and cloud-computing infrastructures, we organize this IEEE TNSM Special Issue as a second Special Issue as part of a Series on Design and Management of Reliable Networks. in IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, with the first issue published in September 2021. The Special Issue aims at the timely publication of recent and innovative research results on this important topic. This Special Issue is organized in collaboration with the International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN), which was held in April this year. DRCN is a well-established forum for scientists from both industry and academy who have interest in reliability and availability of communication networks. As such, this Special Issue will also invite top-scored DRCN papers to share excellent results and new challenges in the field of reliable communication networks and services. We welcome submissions addressing important challenges (see the non-exhaustive list of topics below) and presenting novel research or experimentation results. Survey papers that offer a perspective on related work and identify key challenges for future research will be considered as well. We look forward to your submissions!
