ACM ICN 2021 is a single-track conference focusing on significant research contributions to ICN as broadly defined, and featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations. ICN deals with all aspects of an information- or data-centric approach toward supporting networked applications. Such an approach treats digital objects (i.e., collections of bits) as first-class objects, and supports identification, creation, retrieval, authentication, and access control for such objects through a global service. ACM ICN 2021 solicits research contributions across the full spectrum of technologies and architectures related to ICN, including work that advances core ICN concepts, architectures, technologies, and capabilities; extends current ICN concepts to new networking environments and use cases; realizes, demonstrates, and quantifies the benefits of ICN in traditional and emerging application domains; and catalyzes, incentivizes, simplifies, and supports ICN deployments in realistic, operational environments and settings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Vision papers identifying and scoping future research directions for ICN (limited to short papers). Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “Vision:” in the title. • Systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers that evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge. Suitable papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major ICN research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate and may be rejected without full review. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “SoK:” in the title. • Design and implementation of global and local information-centric approaches, such as named-data, publish-subscribe, and distribution-oriented systems, including domain-specific designs • Namespace management approaches, case studies, and empirical evaluation campaigns • Security including identity bootstrapping, confidentiality and access control, authentication, and non-repudiation, as well as infrastructure resilience • Privacy of consumers and producers of content objects • Routing, forwarding, and caching for ICN • Policing, QoS, multimedia transport, and adaptive network functions in ICN • ICN solutions supporting mobile or constrained environments including 5G and network slicing, vehicular networking, autonomous driving, and machine-to-machine communication • ICN platforms allowing specification of computations on data, and orchestration of such computations, including named computing functions at the network edge • ICN solutions for integrating big data platforms and machine learning frameworks • Virtualization, operation, and orchestration of named network resources including forwarding, storage, computation, and the distributed Web • ICN network management, e.g., monitoring and fault diagnosis • Software design and architectures to support ICN including testing and verification • Experiences with application of information-centric networking and computation in various domains such as Internet-of-things,. edge computing, and social media. • Measurement and analysis of ICN protocols, applications, and infrastructure • ICN implementation approaches based on software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), or other emerging technologies • Implementation challenges and experiences: line speed caching, routing scalability, congestion control, network management at scale, zeroconf bootstrapping and operation • Approaches to coexistence/evolution of information-centric and host-centric networking, including IP-based protocols in support of information-centric operations • Incentives, money flow, and other socio technical aspects of information-centric networking SUBMISSION DETAILS The conference solicits both full and short papers. Submissions will be reviewed through a double-blind process, and evaluated on the basis of intellectual merit, originality, importance of contribution to the field, soundness and strength of evaluation (for full papers), quality and clarity of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work. Full papers may be up to 10 pages in length, excluding references, following the ACM SIGCOMM format<https://github.com/conference-websites/acmart-sigproc-template/> (10pt font, sigconf option for acmart style), and should convey the results of mature research. Short papers may be up to 6 pages in length, excluding references. Short papers should illustrate important challenges or promising new lines of research in the realm of ICN, either through the presentation of illuminating early research results or through the vehicle of a well-reasoned and thought-provoking position statement; vision papers must be submitted as short papers. Short papers will be evaluated primarily on their ability to contribute to the future evolution of ICN research in light of the goals described above. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Register and submit your paper by the deadline in the conference submission site (HotCRP)<https://icn21.hotcrp.com/paper/new>.. If your paper is accepted, we will provide further information for the camera-ready version.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ICNP 2021 Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 16:07:11 -0700 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, vehicularnetworks, 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 forimproving 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 certaintypes 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 theformatting 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 thisgoal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, and on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of relatedpast work, including your own. While this requirement may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achievingthe 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 limitingas 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 covenantthat 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 anypaper 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 policyand 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, andwill 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 papermust 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 isnot presented by an author of the paper, either in-person or remotely, will be withdrawn from the proceedings and thus from IEEE Xplore. At leastone author from each accepted paper will be expected to register at the full rate whether presenting remotely or in person. Technical Program Chairs Y.

Tremendous amount of data are accumulated continuously. Big data processing and analysis are playing increasingly important roles to make the world simpler, better, and smarter. In particular, intelligence extracted from data processing and analysis provides unprecedented opportunities for new wave of emerging applications. Meanwhile, it is well-known that big data processing and analysis require substantial computing and storage resources, which can be offered through cloud computing much easier than traditional IT. On the other hand, there arise lots of requirements on handling onsite data analysis for efficient response in e.g. unmanned vehicles, smart control of manufacturing and transportation, which can be enabled by fog/edge computing. As a result, we see huge potentials for cloud/fog/edge-based big data intelligence. Though some progress has been made in this area, there is still a need for more exploration of the cloud/fog/edge-based big data intelligence. This special issue aims to cover various aspects related to big data processing and analysis in conjunction with cloud/Fog/Edge computing for IoE, including the following topics, but are not limited to: · Cloud/Fog/Edge- based analysis models and algorithms for big data from IoE · Cloud/Fog/Edge-based big data mining platforms and tools for IoE · Machine learning for Cloud/Fog/Edge-based big data analysis for IoE · Intelligent big IoE data solutions based on Cloud/Fog/Edge- computing · Cloud/Fog/Edge- based big social data mining and computing · Urban big data computing assisted by Cloud/Fog/Edge computing · Security and privacy of big data using Cloud/Fog/Edge computing in IoE · Weaving ubiquitous IoT into Cloud/Fog/Edge for big data intelligence · New applications for big data intelligence leveraging Cloud/Fog/Edge computing *Important Dates* Submission Deadline: July 15, 2021 First Review Due: September 30, 2021 Revision Due: November 15, 2021 Sec.

It will benefit several people with special needs, including older adults, the performance of sports, and young people. Social goods are related to healthcare, safety, sports, environment, democracy, computer science, and human rights. Sensors may be included in the development of solutions for social good that promote the support of different physical activities, air quality, temperature. The current pandemic scenario associated with the dispersion of coronavirus over the world highlights the critical role of sensors that can support the control and treatment of different diseases. The use of computer science technologies will support multiple cross-domain fields. Mobile devices include different types of sensors. These sensorial units include accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, microphone, and Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. These sensors can be used to create numerous solutions to promote social good. Also, smart environments include multiple types of sensors such as door sensors, contact sensors, motion sensors, and light sensors. The sensors can promote the recognition of different parameters. Furthermore, mobile devices are widely used, such as smartphone, tablets, and smartwatches. Mobile devices have different capabilities for the improvement of the results of Social Good solutions. The accuracy and statistical analysis of these systems are essential for their acceptance. Human-Computer interaction and social networks help in the creation of diverse solutions and opportunities for the different types of people. The different environments can use some various technologies and architectures. Low-cost sensors can be used for the monitoring of different kinds of people, including electroencephalography, electrocardiography, and electromyography. Sensorial systems promote the creation of medical solutions that supports the preliminary diagnosis of various diseases. Furthermore, the Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of new information and communication technologies (ICT) paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure. The use of mobile devices is growing in different daily activities, and their use started in young people. Still, older adults are now using this type of devices. Technological tools are widely improving, and they include different sensors, which can acquire different physical and physiological data. The development of these systems is involved in the development of ICT technologies for well-being. Besides, the e-Health and m-Health solutions may not act only in the treatment and monitoring stages of different diseases. Moreover, it can act as preventive, promoting healthy lifestyles and active coaching to avoid unhealthy habits. There are various solutions currently under development related to this field. Moreover, these solutions can improve our quality of life and be used to the design and development of novel technologies for social help. It is a multidisciplinary and extensive subject for public health well-being. Moreover, Internet of Things applications provide a continuous stream of data collected in real-time. The data collected can be combined with machine learning methods to predict unexpected events in the context of a smart city. These cyber-physical systems are intelligent objects that can be the basis to develop enhanced technologies for social good. In the GOODTECHS conference, we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. We are not considering only the so-called first world as the scenario for this evolution. We also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. The European Alliance endorses the event for innovation, a leading community-based organization devoted to the advancement of change in the field of ICT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [TCCC] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments: Paper Submission Deadline: 15 May 2021 Datum: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 12:50:09 +0200 Von: Sabita Maharjan <sabita(a)SIMULA.NO> Antwort an: Sabita Maharjan <sabita(a)SIMULA.NO> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking *Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments* https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/cfp /edge-intelligence-sustainable-smart-environments CALL FOR PAPERS *************** Edge Computing is emerging due to the great availability of computational resources, mobile devices, sensors and actuators that are pervasively deployed and today amount to more than 7 billion interfaces with the network. It enables the pushing of computation to the edge of the network, away from data centers and close to people and data sources. Edge Intelligence derives from the convergence of Edge Computing with the smart exploitation of artificial intelligence methodologies and cognitive technologies, involving sensing/actuation, learning and reasoning on distributed data and Internet of Things devices. A new generation of smart environments, empowered with Edge Intelligence capabilities, can assist the effective management of a modern society, by combining the development of advanced services able to satisfy user needs and preferences dynamically, with undelayable aspects like better exploitation of renewable energy sources, energy optimization, environment sustainability, people’s safety, quality of life and comfort. Edge Intelligence helps service provisioning, computation and communications to become efficient, green and sustainable in different ways, among which: (i) Edge Intelligence can contribute to optimize data center usage and reduce the amount of data needing to traverse the network, leading to a reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions; (ii) applications enriched by Edge Intelligence can satisfy user needs through a more sustainable use of environmental resources; (iii) based on predictions performed by Edge Intelligence algorithms, data and computation can be brought closer to the sites where green energy is available. Edge Intelligence offers an unprecedented opportunity to offer cutting edge services to individuals and organizations and, at the same time, to contrast the continuous growth in the exchange of data and use of communication and network infrastructures. The energy consumption and the greenhouse gas emissions related to ICT technologies are estimated to amount, respectively, to 3% and 4% of the total, and these figures are being further increased by the Covid 19 pandemic. This Special Issue aims to be a valuable venue for novel and original research works in the field of Edge Intelligence and its exploitation for the design and development of sustainable and smart environments like smart cities and cognitive buildings. *************** TOPICS - green communication and networking for edge intelligence - edge intelligence in energy-efficient internet of things - edge and fog computing for green smart environments - mobile edge computing for green smart environments - energy-efficient computation, communication, and caching at the edge - energy-efficient coordination and orchestration of the intelligence at the edge - edge intelligence for energy-efficient resource management - edge intelligence supported by green clouds and data centers - sustainable continuum computing between the edge and the cloud - simulation and analysis techniques for sustainable edge intelligence - green and energy-efficient internet of things - energy optimization for edge intelligence - artificial intelligence and machine learning for sustainable smart systems - green artificial intelligence for edge systems - energy harvesting, storage, and recycling in sustainable smart systems - deployment, management and maintenance of sustainable edge intelligent systems - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart cities - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart buildings - edge intelligence exploiting green mobile computing and 5G - cyber security, data privacy and integrity in green edge systems - securing the integrity of devices for sustainable edge systems - use of blockchains in sustainable edge systems - trusted and verifiable services for sustainable intelligent systems at the edge - energy-efficient cognitive radio for satellite and terrestrial networking SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at the IEEE TGCN Information for Authors page: https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/ieee-transactions-gr… To submit a manuscript for consideration for the Special Issue, please visit the journal submission website at Manuscript Central https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgcn IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscript submission: 15 May 2021 First Review Results: 15 July 2021 Second Review Results: 31 August 2021 Publication: December 2021 (tentative) Guest Editors: Franco Cicirelli, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, franco.cicirelli(a)icar.cnr.it Min Jia, Harbin Institute of Technology, China, jiamin(a)hit.edu.cn Sabita Maharjan, University of Oslo, Norway, sabita(a)ifi.uio.no Carlo Mastroianni, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, carlo.mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it Ian Taylor, University of Notre Dame, IN, USA and Cardiff University, UK, ian.j.taylor(a)nd.edu ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
