Ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency and high-reliability vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity will enable vehicles to collect huge amounts of data generated by the myriad of on-board and external sensors. Once collected, such data needs to be properly processed and mined to allow human drivers and self-driving cars to build an accurate view of their surroundings, so to promptly react to unexpected events and cooperatively plan maneuvers for a safer, greener, more efficient and comfortable driving and traveling experience. Nonetheless the well recognized potential of fifth generation (5G) technologies for future vehicular applications, research opportunities still need to be adequately disclosed, especially when considering the soaring demands of automotive applications ultimately leading to cooperative and fully automated driving and the ongoing 5G evolutions towards more disruptive and innovative solutions at different layers of the computing and protocol stacks. This Special Issue encourages the submission of high-quality, innovative and original contributions (both theory and practice) covering advances in the field of 5G and beyond technologies to enable vehicular applications. In addition, it welcomes also survey papers scanning the relevant literature and ongoing research efforts and experimentations. The technical areas include but are not limited to: * Wireless technologies and spectrum for vehicular applications (IEEE 802.11p/bd, Cellular-V2X, 5G NR V2X, THz, Li-Fi, mmWave) * Novel physical layer and access techniques (e.g., Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Full-duplex, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) * Network softwarization and programmability (e.g., Software-defined networking, Network Function Virtualization, P4, Network Slicing) * Vehicular applications (e.g., tele-operated driving, extended horizon, platooning, cooperative sensing and maneuvering, system diagnostics) * 5G cloud/edge computing to support vehicular applications * Vehicular cloud/edge computing * 5G and potential HMI advancements * Internet of Things technologies and protocols for vehicular applications * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for vehicular applications * Localization techniques to support vehicular applications * Security and Privacy for vehicular applications * System performance and measurement for vehicular applications Paper Submission Link: [ https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its | https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its ] (choose manuscript type 5GVEH) Accepted papers will be published upon acceptance as early access.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - Virtual] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - paper registration/submission January 20/27, 2021 Datum: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:53:42 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM SIGCOMM 2021 August 23-27, 2021 Virtual Event http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/ ***Important dates*** * Jan 20, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Abstract registration deadline * Jan 27, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Paper submission deadline * May 3, 2021 (tentative) -- Notification date ***Call for Papers*** The ACM SIGCOMM 2021 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking research, which includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: * All types of computer networks such as mobile, wide-area, data-center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks. * All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, and acoustic and visible light-based communication. * All aspects of networks and networked systems such as architecture, packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics and evolution, and interactions with applications. * All types of computer network design, analysis, and experimental approaches such as theory, measurements, and machine learning-based techniques. We want each SIGCOMM paper to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or rigorously (re-)evaluating existing ideas. The review process will take the nature of the contribution into account. We strongly encourage authors to discuss not only the benefits but also the limitations of their work. SIGCOMM 2021 will accept submissions to the ***experience track*** in addition to the regular research track. Submissions to the experience track describe the design, analysis, and evaluation of techniques in commercial or otherwise widely-used deployment. Experience track submissions need not describe new ideas, but are strongly encouraged to elucidate key insights and takeaways gathered from design, deployment, or operational experience. The PC will evaluate experience-track submissions with the understanding that the primary contributions may be in extending the SIGCOMM community's knowledge of how known techniques fare when adapted to real-world settings, and particularly in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate, for reasons of scale or otherwise. At paper registration time, authors must explicitly indicate both in their paper title and submission form if their paper is to be considered for the experience or regular research track. Submissions to the experience track should also be double-blind. However, given the nature of these papers, it is OK to reveal company or system name but NOT author names. Each submission will only be considered for one track - either the experience or the research track, but not both - in accordance with the authors' preference expressed at submission time. The final conference program will not preserve the distinction between the two tracks. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2021 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. ***Submissions*** Papers submitted to SIGCOMM typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. The program committee will judge submissions based upon novelty, significance, correctness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the SIGCOMM community. All accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee. Submissions should be in two-column, 10-point format, and can be up to 12 pages in length with as many additional pages as necessary for references and optional appendices. Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, not counting against the 12 pages). Reviewers are not required to read appendices or consider them in their review. Authors should thus ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result. For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, and code, all appropriately anonymized. NOTE: For accepted papers, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Detailed submission instructions can be found here -- http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/submission.html Submission site: https://sigcomm2021.hotcrp.com ***Artifact Evaluation for Accepted Papers*** The authors of accepted SIGCOMM 2021 papers will be invited to submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by a separate committee that will assess how well the submitted artifacts support the work described in the accepted papers. Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary but strongly encouraged and it has no influence on the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive badges printed on the papers themselves. Additional details on the Artifact Evaluation process can be found here -- https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging ***Public Summaries for Accepted Papers*** The SIGCOMM 2021 program will feature public summaries accompanying each accepted paper. In most cases, the summary will be written by the paper's shepherd and will provide an overview of the problem addressed in the paper and its solution, and highlight interesting future questions that arise. The summary may additionally explain aspects of the paper the reviewers particularly liked. Summaries will be published along with the papers in the ACM Digital Library. ***Ethical Concerns*** All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues; papers that don't include such a statement may be rejected. This could be, if appropriate for the paper, simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc.), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if human subjects are involved or other people are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harm to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (https://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatte…) and the ACM ethics policy (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics) for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Review Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the program committee will independently evaluate the ethical soundness of the work just as they evaluate its technical soundness. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the PC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for posters and demonstrations describing novel work on mobile systems, applications, and services. Given the current circumstances, live poster presentations and demos will run in parallel over video link during a dedicated session, with participants being able to drop in and out, as they would in an in-situ setting. As backup, authors of posters and demonstrations will be required to have pre-recorded versions of their poster presentations/demos. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with workshop attendees. Posters are well suited to controversial work that can generate discussion or promising new ideas which have not been thoroughly evaluated. Demos provide an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of your research. We are looking for new ways of presenting demos and posters, exploiting the possibility of a video link in original and novel ways. For example, demos can be video streamed from labs (where local provisions permit), outdoors, using web portals/Jupyter notebooks/Colab, or involve app downloads via links provided and user testing. The poster/demo session will feature a Best Poster/Demo award. *Submission* Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Poster/Demo Chair ( paul.patras(a)ed.ac.uk). * subject line for posters: HOTMOBILE POSTER SUBMISSION * subject line for demos: HOTMOBILE DEMO SUBMISSION **Abstract deadline: Jan 20th, 2021* *More details on the submission process:* * Please set up your page to be letter size, 8.5x11 inches, two columns, using 10-pt font size for the text body, at least one-inch margin on all sides; * Please include the title of the poster/demo and the author list, including affiliations in both the PDF file and in the body of the email; * Please prefix your title with “Poster:” for a poster submission and “Demo:” for a demo submission; * The abstract should be attached in PDF format. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ICC Workshop 2021 | I-CPSaaS Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 17:27:06 -0500 Von: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We are looking for high-quality papers for our upcoming workshop in IEEE ICC 2021 entitled "I-CPSaaS: Sensing-as-a-Service for Industrial Cyber Physical Systems". Scope With the advent of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the industrial sector has witnessed substantial changes over the last couple of years. These changes when integrated with the conventional systems not only help to upscale their productions but also help them to achieve their business goals. The ongoing expansion across different domains such as manufacturing, energy systems, transportation, automated vehicles, etc is a perfect example of actively applying this innovative technology to the industrial sector. The major precursors behind this advancement of IIoT can be attributed to more product variability, enhanced quality of products, growing global competition, decreased product cost, and shorter manufacturing time. To cater to the above-mentioned challenges, IIoT leverages the concept of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (I-CPS); which enable interactions amongst the machines, data, and humans. Sensing-as-a-Service (S2aaS) is considered as key component of the I-CPS and is assumed to resides somewhere between the cyber and physical worlds. It also helps in integrating the IIoT data with the marketplace analysing and trading on the gathered data. Nonetheless, the sensors are not necessarily the physical sensors interacting with the environment, but they can be virtual too. In S2aaS, the virtual sensors can be any entity that produces data such as social media accounts, quantified self apps, weather APIs, etc. The data generated from these sensors needs real-time analysis to derive value for its marketplace; and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing has a significant role to play in the context. This computing paradigm can offer promising results for CPS applications that are characterised by geo-distribution, latency-sensitivity and high-resilience. Topics We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fusion of cyber and physical knowledge for reliable, efficient and robust decision-making • Design, implementation, and test of Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing platform for I-CPS. • Sensors for network anomaly detection and ensure security, privacy and trustworthiness • Efficient computational and communication models for implementing S2aaS in I-CPS • Use of S2aaS for fault diagnosis in I-CPS • Use case scenarios for employing Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing for providing sensor-as-a-service in I-CPS • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence solutions for Industrial domain specific CPS • Physical and Virtual Senor fusion with Industrial Internet of Things and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing • Management of heterogeneous and homogenous data coming from sensors deployed in I-CPS Paper Submission The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. The page length limit for all initial submissions for review is SIX (6) printed pages (10-point font) and must be written in English. All final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. No more than one (1) additional printed page (10-point font) may be included in final submissions and the extra page (the 7th page) will incur an over length page charge of USD100.
