Hier ist eine Möglichkeit *negative results* vorzustellen! Submission Deadline ist schon am 14.11. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 2nd CfP: International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) within PerCom2022 Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 19:52:48 +0100 Von: Nitinder Mohan <mohan(a)IN.TUM.DE> Antwort an: Nitinder Mohan <mohan(a)IN.TUM.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** 1st International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing [PerFail] (co-located with PerCom 2022) 21st March 2022; Pisa, Italy https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/ Not all research leads to fruitful results, trying new ways or methods may surpass the state of the art, but sometimes the hypothesis is not proven or the improvement is insignificant. But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing. While the direct outcome of negative results might not contribute much to the field, the wisdom of hindsight could be a contribution itself, such that other researchers could avoid falling into similar pitfalls. We consider negative results to be studies that are run correctly (in the light of the current state of the art) and in good practice, but fail in terms of proving of the hypothesis or come up with no significance. The “badness” of the work can also come out as a properly but unfittingly designed data collection, or (non-trivial) lapses of hindsight especially in measurement studies. In this workshop, we invite submissions in different subtopics, including, but not limited to research in the fields of: * Studies with unconvincing results which could not be verified (e.g. due to lack of datasets) * Underperforming experiments due to oversights in system design, inadequate/misconfigured infrastructure, etc. * Research studies with setbacks resulting in lessons learnt and acquired hindsights (e.g. hypothesis with too limiting or too broad assumptions) * Unconventional, abnormal, or controversial results that contradict expectations of the community * Unexpected problems affecting publications, e.g. ethical concerns, institutional policy breaches, etc. * “Non-publishable” or “hard-to-publish” side-outcomes of the study, e.g . mis-trials of experiment methodology/design, preparations for proof-of-correctness of results, etc. ###Submissions### Paper submission will be managed via the EDAS system. The paper should not exceed 6 pages (overall, i.e., including references) in IEEE, 10pt font, 2-column format. For further information and a link to the submission system, please refer to https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/. Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors at the workshop. The papers accepted in the workshop will appear and be indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Issue on Cloud-to-Thing in IIoT Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 05:47:41 -0400 Von: Javier Berrocal <jberolm(a)UNEX.ES> Antwort an: Javier Berrocal <jberolm(a)UNEX.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG --- Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 3.453)--- Special Issue on Intelligent Cloud-to-Thing continuum in Industrial IoT Scenarios --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The world is experiencing the latest industrial revolution. The development of pervasive systems and the ubiquitous connectivity has removed the boundaries between the physical and the virtual world allowing the implementation of the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT). Smart factories can effectively integrate autonomous machines with their business processes in order to exchange the sensed data, trigger actions and coordinate different machines towards a common goal. The new advances in the distribution of the computation (fog, edge and mist computing), the increase in the computing capacities of end devices (UAVs, robots, machines, etc.), the deployment of 5G / 6G networks, the artificial intelligence and the integration of humans-in-the-loop predict a bright future for Industrial IoT. However, these techniques are still in their infancy. New approaches are needed to identify how to orchestrate and distribute the computing processes and services of each industry in a multilayer computing infrastructure (cloud, fog, edge, or mist), how to intelligently perform that distribution based on the characteristics of the system and state of the network, how this distribution can support the digital twins of an industrial scenario, how to also integrate intelligence at the edge of the network to improve the decision making process, and how to integrate humans and their context into the production processes to adapt them to their needs. The application of these techniques should be specially driven by the Quality of Service of the industry and by the final benefits obtained and perceived by humans. This special issue is focused on the integration of the Cloud-to-Thing continuum, Artificial Intelligence techniques and the Human-In-The-Loop paradigm for building effective and efficient Industrial IoT systems. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Cloud-to-Thing continuum for Industrial IoT. - Computing in the network for Industrial IoT. - Integrating cloud, edge, and 5G/6G networks for Industrial IoT. - Context aware industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Orchestration of industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Smart and adaptive Industrial IoT systems. - Infrastructure planning for Industrial IoT. - Security, privacy and trust in industrial systems applying a cloud to thing scheme. - Monitoring industrial systems. - Network Programmability and Softwarization for industrial systems. - Performance, Optimization and Resource Dimensioning for Industrial IoT. - Intelligent deployment of industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Load balancing of industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Intelligent coordination and networking of industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Intelligent Composition and collaboration of industrial systems applying a cloud to thing scheme. - Software architecture for intelligent industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Pervasive edge intelligence for Industrial IoT. - Distributed intelligence for Industrial IoT. - Distributed data analytics, data processing and modeling for Industrial IoT - Quality of Service of industrial systems in an intelligent cloud to thing scheme. - Quality of Service and traffic engineering in industrial systems in a cloud to thing scheme. - Digital twins for Industrial IoT in a cloud to thing scheme. Guest Editors ------------- - Javier Berrocal, University of Extremadura (Spain), jberolm(a)unex.es - Luca Foschini, University of Bologna (Italy), luca.foschini(a)unibo.it Submission Guidelines --------------------- Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the “Guide for Authors” (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/1574-1192/…) section of the journal Pervasive and Mobile Computing. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted by the deadline through Elsevier's Editorial Manager platform (https://www.editorialmanager.com/pmc/default.aspx).

The Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) is devoted to the mission of ensuring that the computing systems and networks on which society relies are dependable and secure. DSN, one of the longest running IEEE conferences organizing its 52nd edition in 2022, has pioneered the fusion between dependability and security research under a common body of knowledge, understanding the need to simultaneously fight against accidental faults, intentional cyber-attacks, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Its distinctive approach to both accidental faults and malicious attacks made DSN the most prestigious international forum for presenting research furthering robustness and resilience of today’s wide spectrum of computing systems and networks. All aspects of the research and practice of dependability and applied security are within the scope of DSN. Relevant topics include innovative architectures, protocols, and algorithms, for preventing, detecting, recovering, diagnosing or eliminating accidental and malicious threats as well as experimentation with and assessment of dependable and secure systems and networks. Authors are invited to submit original papers on the current thematic areas of DSN: * Hardware (e.g., microprocessors, memories, system on chip, I/O devices, storage systems,Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)) * Software (e.g., applications, middleware, distributed algorithms, operating systems, software security) * Networked systems and clouds (e.g., wireless networks, mobility, software-defined networking, edge computing, cloud computing/storage, networks on chip, network security) * Autonomous systems (e.g, self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, assured autonomy, explainable decision making, acceptability) * Cyber-physical systems (e.g., embedded systems, real-time control of critical systems, internet of things, smart grid, automotive, aerospace, railway, medical systems) * Distributed ledgers/Blockchain (e.g., BFT/consensus algorithms, cryptocurrencies, decentralized storage, zero knowledge proofs,...) * AI/Machine Learning for resilient systems (e.g., resilient, secure, and explainable AI/Machine Learning techniques; applications of AI/ML techniques for dependability and security) * Models and methodologies for programming, evaluating, verifying, and assessing dependable and secure systems (e.g., performance and dependability evaluation, analytical and numerical methods, simulation, experimentation, benchmarking, verification, field data analysis) Information to authors ---------------------- Innovative papers in other areas of dependable and secure systems and networks will also be considered. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category. The conference favors work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with (or measurements of) state-of-the-art implementations. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness and impact. Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Tool Descriptions will be refereed and included in the Proceedings of the DSN 2022, if accepted. All contributions must be written in English. IEEE Computer Society will publish accepted contributions. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register (as a regular registration) for the conference and present the work. Paper Categories ---------------- Submissions can be made in one of the following categories (authors are required to indicate the category as part of the paper’s title). Regular papers (11 pages): full paper describing research contribution, including experimental work focused on implementation and evaluation of existing techniques in the DSN thematic areas. Papers should clearly describe a novel scientific contribution and a significant advancement of the state of knowledge in DSN relevant topics. The paper should address a signiﬁcant problem with a compelling solution whose validity and practical applicability are clearly discussed. Practical experience reports (7 pages): a shorter paper describing practitioner experiences or lessons learned applying tools and techniques to real-world problems and systems, or based on the empirical analysis of field data using a rigorous scientific approach. A paper on this category is expected to show new insights and experiences informing the research and practice of dependability and resilient computing. Contributions reporting on industry practical experiences and lessons learned are highly encouraged, including studies reporting negative results or challenges about the practical applicability or scalability of research results in industry. Tool descriptions/demonstrations (7 pages): descriptions of the architecture, implementation and usage of substantive tools to aid the research and practice of dependability. A tool paper is expected to describe and demonstrate the value that the tool brings to the dependability community. Making the tool publicly available, whenever possible, is strongly encouraged. The number of pages indicated above includes everything except the references: title page, text, figures, appendices, etc. Papers that exceed the number of pages for that submission category will be rejected without review. Independently of the paper category, we expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable reproducibility of their experimental results and encourage authors, whenever possible, to make both the software developed in the experiments or datasets publicly available. Awards ------ DSN attributes a Best Paper Award to one of the accepted scientific papers. The selection of the candidate papers for the award is carried out first by the Program Committee that picks up to six of the accepted papers; then, the Steering Committee chooses among these six papers the three candidate papers to be presented in a special session at the conference; finally, the audience at the conference votes for the paper that should receive the award. DSN also attributes a group of awards based on nominations. These awards are the William C. Carter Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Dependability, the Rising Star in Dependability Award, the Test-of-Time Award, and the Jean-Claude Laprie Award.
