Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Anna Kobusińska" <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> Gesendet: 10. Mai 2021 22:09:06 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021) *CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-May-2021 Acceptance deadline: 31-Oct-2021 Publication: late 2021 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought.

The submission due date is 20 June 2021, 11:59:59pm AoE. Best Regards Pietro Manzoni Publicity co-chair, IEEE/ACM CHASE 2021 Universitat Politècnica de València, SPAIN ************************************************************************ IEEE/ACM CHASE 2021 December 17-18, 2021 Washington, D.C., USA https://conferences.computer.org/chase2021/ ************************************************************************ IEEE/ACM CHASE is a leading international conference in the field of connected health. It aims to bring together researchers working in the smart and connected health area around the world to exchange innovative ideas and begin collaborations. Connected health can be broadly defined as the use of the Internet, sensing, communications, and data analytics in support of medical and health-related applications, systems, and engineering technologies. Connected health is at the convergence of multiple domains and technologies and helps to shape foundational improvements to health delivery. In the future, improvements from Connected Health will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual and by replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring, and assessment.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> Gesendet: 8. Mai 2021 07:47:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers *** Now Fully Virtual IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers *** COVID-19 Update: Due to the current global COVID-19 pandemic situation, IEEE ICNP 2021 conference will be held as a full virtual conference. *** 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 virtually 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. Due to ICNP 2021 being held virtually because of health considerations, authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their papers remotely, and those papers will be included in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. However, any paper that is not presented by an author of the paper 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. Technical Program Chairs Y.
