This is the final call for papers. ----------------------------------------------- The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21) co-located with EuroSys 2021 26 April, 2021 | Edinburgh, Scotland, UK https://edge-sys.github.io/2021/ ----------------------------------------------- Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the decentralized edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. In this context, the EdgeSys workshop focuses on the confluence of edge computing, decentralized communication and distributed computing. For example, there are several industry-led edge computing and orchestration platforms such as KubeEdge, Firecracker, and Azure Sphere. In the decentralized communication space, systems such as Mastodon and Matrix have been developed. There are also lots of academic research activities on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Talket, ThinkAir, MAUI, and MADNet) and systems that combine decentralization and computation/storage offloading together, such as IPFS. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21), in conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2021, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys'21 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE NewNets 2021 Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 08:25:27 +0100 Von: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 3rd IEEE Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with IEEE WoWMoM) June 7, 2021 - Pisa, Italy http://wowmom2021.iit.cnr.it/workshops/newnets-2021/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing both sensing and actuation. In the past decade, the research community has produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - protocol design - hardware platform design - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming) - wake-up radios for short- or/and long-range technologies - radio resource management - applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) - anomaly detection - security solutions - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing - business case analysis that is more well suited for certain vertical markets. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English.

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Issue on “Security and Privacy of Federated Learning Solutions for Industrial IoT Applications” Submission Deadline: 30 June 2021 Link: http://www.ieee-ies.org/images/files/tii/ss/2021/Security_and_Privacy_of_Fe… *************** Call for Paper Industrial Internet of Things typically consists of several thousands of heterogeneous devices, such as sensors, actuators, access points, machinery, end-user's hand held equipment, and supply chain. In such industrial environment, multitude of data is generated from massive IoT devices, e.g., sensors for monitoring environment, reading temperature, and gauging pressure. Most of data is from delay-sensitive and computation intensive applications, such as real-time manufacturing and automated diagnostics, which require big data analytics with low latency. Machine learning has been witnessed as an efficient solution for big data analytics. The majority of such ML algorithms are centralized methods, meaning that they first gather data from different users for use as a training dataset, which is placed on the ML server, and then build a model to classify new data samples by applying ML algorithms to this training dataset. However, the access to these datasets in centralized ML methods raises concerns about data privacy for users. To address a part of these issues, federated learning (FL) was designed to protect data privacy. In FL, each participant uses a global training model, without needing to upload their private data to a third-party server. Compared with conventional ML, FL can preserve data security, especially in terms of participant data during the learning process. FL can also help in updating server side data for the global model, and the participant is not required to provide their data. However, in FL, individual computing units may show abnormal actions, for example due to faulty software, hardware invasions, unreliable communication channels, malicious samples deliberately craft the model. To mitigate these challenges, we require robust policies to control the learning phases in FL. Motivated by the above issues, this special section solicits original research and practical contributions which advance security and privacy of federated learning solutions for industrial IoT applications. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. Surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are also considered. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: * Privacy preserving and security approaches for large scale analytics in IIoT * Hardware-Level Attack and Defense in Federated Learning for IIoT * Determining appropriate security measures in response to risk assessments in Federated Learning for IIoT * Data-Centric Security in Federated Learning for IIoT * Finding and evaluating vulnerabilities that threats might exploit in Federated Learning for IIoT * Privacy and trust challenges associated with federated learning in IIoT * Resilient decision making under security and privacy constraints in Federated Learning for IIoT * Validation of security and privacy protection methods in real-world applications ************ Submission Guidelines Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments
by Lars Wolf 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:36:16 +0100 Von: Carlo Mastroianni <carlo.mastroianni(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Carlo Mastroianni <carlo.mastroianni(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG **Apologies for cross postings 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-intelligenc e-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 een-communications-and-networking-information> https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/ieee-transactions-gre en-communications-and-networking-information To submit a manuscript for consideration for the Special Issue, please visit the journal submission website at Manuscript Central <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgcn> 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, <mailto:franco.cicirelli@icar.cnr.it> franco.cicirelli(a)icar.cnr.it Min Jia, Harbin Institute of Technology, China, <mailto:jiamin@hit.edu.cn> jiamin(a)hit.edu.cn Sabita Maharjan, University of Oslo, Norway, <mailto:sabita@ifi.uio.no> sabita(a)ifi.uio.no Carlo Mastroianni, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, <mailto:carlo.mastroianni@icar.cnr.it> carlo.mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it Ian Taylor, University of Notre Dame, IN, USA and Cardiff University, UK, <mailto:ian.j.taylor@nd.edu> ian.j.taylor(a)nd.edu Carlo Mastroianni ICAR-CNR Via P.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extension - Workshop on ns-3 2021 (WNS3) Datum: Thu, 18 Feb 2021 12:34:30 -0500 Von: Michele Polese <michele.polese(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Polese <michele.polese(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear all, this is to let you know that the deadline for the annual Workshop on ns-3 2021 (WNS3) has been extended to *Thursday, March 4 2021*. We welcome all your contributions! Information regarding the workshop, including the link for the submission site and acceptance criteria, is available at https://www.nsnam.org/research/wns3/wns3-2021/call-for-papers/ and at the bottom of this email. Important Dates: * Paper submission deadline: Extended to Thursday, March 4, 2021, 17:00 PST * Notification of acceptance: Monday, March 29, 2021 A call for short talks and demos will be posted later. Additional events will be planned alongside the Workshop, including a developer meeting and the annual ns-3 Consortium meeting, and possibly training sessions. More information on this will follow. Best, Stefano Avallone and Michele Polese ----- Call for Papers The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held as a fully virtual event, starting on June 23, 2021 and tentatively planned for two days. The objective of the workshop is to gather ns-3 users and developers, together with networking simulation practitioners and users, and developers of other network simulation tools, to discuss the ns-3 simulator and related activities. As in past years, the conference organizers will apply to ACM to publish accepted papers in the ACM ICPS series. WNS3 invites authors to submit original high quality papers presenting different aspects of developing and using ns-3. In such papers, reproducibility and methodology will be a key reviewing criteria, as explained below. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - new models, devices, protocols and applications for ns-3 - using ns-3 in modern networking research - comparison with other network simulators and emulators - speed and scalability issues for ns-3 - multiprocessor and distributed simulation with ns-3, including use of GPUs - validation of ns-3 models - credibility and reproducibility issues for ns-3 simulations - user experience issues of ns-3 - frameworks for the definition and automation of ns-3 simulations - post-processing, visualisation and statistical analysis tools for ns-3 - models ported from other simulators to ns-3 - using real code for simulation with ns-3 and using ns-3 code in network applications - integration of ns-3 with testbeds, emulators, and other simulators or tools - using ns-3 API from programming languages other than C++ or Python - porting ns-3 to unsupported platforms - network emulation with ns-3 - using ns-3 in education and teaching We also solicit novel papers with a focus on an industrial application of ns-3 (use of ns-3 within industry). Papers in this category must address these questions: - What specific R&D questions did you or do you want to answer by simulation? - Why and how did you choose ns-3 as the appropriate tool for your application? - What surprises did you find, in correctness/behavior? in implementation? in learning curve? - What are the remaining barriers to fully addressing your R&D questions? - What general capabilities would have made your work easier/faster? Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 8 pages. Every paper will be peer-reviewed. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the workshop. Submission instructions Authors should submit papers through EasyChair in PDF format, complying with ACM “sigconf” Proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Acceptance Criteria Papers will be accepted based on the relevance, novelty, and impact of the contribution, as well as the quality of writing and presentation. Authors presenting new ns-3 models, frameworks, integration setups, etc. are encouraged to include all traditional parts of a scientific paper: introduction, motivation, related work, assumptions, verification and validation, conclusions and references. As a general rule, papers that only document source code will be rejected. Authors presenting networking research using ns-3 are encouraged to follow best simulation practices and focus particularly on the credibility and reproducibility of simulation results. We strongly encourage authors of all papers, demonstrations, and posters to include links to relevant source code and instructions on how to use it. This will make contributions more useful for the ns-3 community. If code has been submitted through the ns-3 merge request process, or published as a module in the ns-3 app store, please list the link(s). This will be considered a plus Please do not hesitate to contact the workshop chairs if you are uncertain whether your submission falls within the scope of the workshop. Copyright Policy Authors will have their paper published in the ACM Digital Library, which will require copyright transfer to ACM under their normal terms and conditions. In the spirit of open source, we encourage authors of published papers to exercise their right to publish author-prepared versions on their respective home page, on a publicly accessible server of their employer, or on a pre-print server. Upon request, we will provide links from the WNS3 program on the ns-3 web site to the author-prepared version. Plagiarism Policy We follow the ACM standards and conduct regarding plagiarism. Reviewing Process Conflict of Interest Policy Reviewers will follow the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking Conflict-of-Interest Guidelines. Authors are requested to identify potential conflicts-of-interest among the workshop’s technical program committee. Demonstrations and Short Talks In addition to the regular paper track, we will organize an exhibition-style demonstration and short talks session. The aim is to foster interactive discussions on work-in-progress, new problem statements, ideas for future development related to ns-3, and display innovative prototypes. A Call for Short Talks and Demos page will be posted at a later date. Accepted short talk and demo abstracts will be published on the ns-3 web site. At least one author of each accepted demo/short talk must register and present the work at the workshop. Awards One Best Paper will be selected by the TPC chairs and will be announced at the workshop. Registration Registration information will be posted at a later date. More information on these will be announced at a future date.
