Although the convergence of communication, caching, control and computing (4C) resources can be leveraged to effectively enable 6G services and applications over vehicle-to-everything (V2X) channels, multiple challenges must be addressed to allow connected vehicles to meet the 6G requirements, to securely and efficiently orchestrate their resources and to develop self-organizing and self-sustaining capabilities. Emerging communication paradigms that make effective data transmission in very high dynamic contexts include the reprogrammability of the environment by the means of Reprogrammable Intelligent Metasurfaces (RIMs). Moreover, Visible Light Communication (VLC) can improve the reliability of V2X interactions and be effective in terms of security and enhanced data rate. With focus on networking aspects, Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can bring programmability, flexibility and scalability in connected vehicles, simplify network management and promote an efficient and fair use of the distributed 4C resources and programmable metasurfaces. They can be complemented by revolutionary networking models, such as Information Centric Networking (ICN), to provide distributed caching and computing services. This special issue aims to collect proposals that deal with revolutionary communication and networking technologies for connected vehicles, in a holistic fashion or at different layers, to meet the expectations of the 6G era. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Software-defined vehicular networks Vehicular cloud computing in the 6G era Fog/edge computing architectures for connected vehicles Integration of SDN/NFV and vehicular cloud computing Information Centric Networking for Connected Vehicles Impact of connected vehicles on transportation safety, management, characterization, and prediction Mobile sensing networking, sensor data collection and multi-modal fusion Caching strategies for connected vehicles Joint management of communication, control, computing and caching for 6G vehicular applications and services Optical wireless technologies for 6G vehicular applications and services Reprogrammable and Intelligent Metasurfaces for smart connected vehicles Secure and privacy-preserving communications in 6G vehicular networks ================================================================== TIMELINE Paper submission: 31 March 2021 Acceptance notification: 30 June 2021 Final papers: 30 July 2021 ================================================================== SUBMISSION FORMAT AND GUIDELINE All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/vehicular-communications/2214-2096/guide-… .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) 2021: virtual attendance Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 10:13:24 -0500 Von: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG **************************************************************************************** Call for Papers International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) 2021 33rd edition Tuesday Aug. 31 - Friday Sept. 3, 2021: Avignon, France Website: https://itc33.org **************************************************************************************** ** Papers receiving best paper awards of the conference will be invited for fast-track reviews by IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. ** The 33 Edition of International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) taking place at the end of Summer 2021, and it is impossible to predict the situation in terms of the pandemic. We sincerely hope that by that time, we are able to travel and to meet up with friends and colleagues in person in Avignon. For now, we want to be open to the option for ITC to be an in-person event and we are proceeding with the plans for the conference under that assumption. However, we will grant virtual conference attendance to be possible as well for those unable or unwilling to travel by means of virtual attendance. The International Teletraffic Congress ITC 33, to be held during 31/08-03/09 2021, at the Avignon University, France, is the 33th edition of this international flagship congress in the field of networking science and practice. ITC was founded back in 1955 by enthusiastic scientists and engineers who were willing to deploy networks in a holistic way. Since then, it has established a multi-decade tradition as the primary forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in the broad areas of teletraffic models, network systems, and measurements. ITC 33 focuses on the future networks taking advantage of 5G and artificial intelligence (AI), towards “AI-integrated Networks”. Indeed, service providers from all over the world are already reaping the benefits of integrating AI into their networks. For ITC 33, cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking, ranging from traffic engineering and control with application also to emerging softwarized/virtualized network paradigms, up to innovative wireless scenarios brought about by the emergence of 5G and IoT systems. We especially encourage original contributions which bridge the gap between performance modeling and real-life operational aspects, including works which leverage measurement data to provide a better understanding of the wired and wireless networks operation under realistic conditions. ITC 33 solicits original contributions that address the latest changes and developments in design, modelling, measurement, and performance evaluation of communication systems, networks, and services. ITC 33 is structured into eight different areas. The objectives in these areas include, among others, energy-efficiency and green IT, network security and privacy, QoS and QoE, and resilience. The technical sessions will be structured around, but are not limited to, the following topics: • Performance Evaluation, Control and Optimization • Network Measurements and Big Data • Networking Architectures and Paradigms • Wireless and Cellular Networks • Data Center Networking for Cloud Computing Design and Operation • Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization • Networking for Edge and Fog Computing • Network Economics Besides the general submissions, ITC33 encourages submissions for the *Ph.D. workshop* and special sessions which will be detailed in the upcoming communications. Finally, ITC 33 will offer a number of *student travel grants* that will be available to support full-time students for attending the conference. A dedicated call for workshops will be detailed in the upcoming communications. The conference will feature a best paper award and a best student paper award. Papers receiving best paper awards of the conference will be invited for fast-track reviews by IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. Important dates Friday April 2, 2021: Paper registration deadline Friday April 9, 2021: Submission deadline Monday May 31, 2021: Expected notification date Monday June 21, 2021: Camera-ready deadline Tuesday August 31 - Friday September 3, 2021: Conference dates For detailed information and deadlines, please check the website.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems
by Lars Wolf 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 03:58:39 -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 <https://drive.google.com/u/0/settings/storage?hl=de&utm_medium=web&utm_sour…> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
