Fwd: [Call for Papers] HotNets 2019: Eighteenth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Call for Papers] HotNets 2019: Eighteenth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks Datum: Thu, 9 May 2019 09:43:13 -0400 Von: Anduo Wang <adw(a)temple.edu> Antwort an: adw(a)temple.edu An: SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [on behalf of Rodrigo Fonseca and Sylvia Ratnasamy] HotNets 2019: Eighteenth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks November 13-15, 2019 — Princeton, New Jersey, USA See the official Call for Papers -- https://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2019/cfp.html-- for details The 18th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets 2019) will bring together researchers in computer networks and systems to engage in a lively debate on the theory and practice of computer networking. HotNets provides a venue for discussing innovative ideas and for debating future research agendas in networking. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers. We encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state of networking research, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected early results from a deployment, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations can support the possibility of the paper’s claims. We seek early-stage work, where the authors can benefit from community feedback. An ideal submission has the potential to open a line of inquiry for the community that results in multiple conference papers in related venues (SIGCOMM, SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, MobiCom, MobiSys, CoNEXT, etc.), rather than a single follow-on conference paper. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over “conference papers in miniature”. Finished work that fits in a short paper is likely a better fit with the short-paper tracks at either CoNEXT or IMC, for example. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) mobile, wide-area, data-center, home, and enterprise networks using a variety of link technologies (wired, wireless, visual, and acoustic), as well as social networks and network architecture. It encompasses all aspects of networks, including (but not limited to) packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, provisioning and resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness and security, measurement, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics and evolution, interactions with applications, and usability of underlying networking technologies. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of stimulating insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and will be published in the ACM Digital Library to facilitate wide dissemination of the ideas discussed at the workshop. Important Dates Abstract registration deadline: June 24, 2019 (7:59pm EST) Paper submission deadline: June 28, 2019 (7:59pm EST) Acceptance/rejection notification to authors: September 17, 2019 Reviews to authors: September 24, 2019 Camera-ready submission deadline: coming soon Workshop: November 13-15, 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can unsubscribe for this list at any time through this link: Unsubscribe <https://optout.acm.org/unsubscribe.cfm?rl=SIGCOMM-MEMBERS&RE=WOLF@IBR.CS.TU…>

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: IPIN competition 2019 Datum: Sun, 05 May 2019 00:49:03 +0200 Von: Francesco Potortì <Potorti(a)isti.cnr.it> Organisation: CNR-ISTI, via Moruzzi 1, I-56124 Pisa, +39-0503153058 An: info(a)evaal.aaloa.org Sorry for duplicates * * * CALL FOR COMPETITION * * * Sixth IPIN Competition on-site and off-site Indoor Localization <http://ipin2019.isti.cnr.it/competition> <http://evaal.aaloa.org/> 28-29 September 2019, Pisa, Italy ================================================================================ IPIN is pleased to announce the sixth IPIN 2019 Indoor Localization Competition, in conjunction with the IPIN 2019 Conference in Pisa (Italy). The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new research opportunities for the indoor localization area, where no generally accepted standards exist yet. IPIN 2019 Indoor Localization Competition will consist of several tracks, including on-site and off-site contests. Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference and prizes will be awarded to the winners. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions and is based on the EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method. In 2019 the competition hosts five different tracks: Track 1: Smartphone-based Track 2: Video-based Track 3: Smartphone-based (off-site) Track 4: Foot-mounted IMU based (off-site) Track 5: xDR in industrial scenarios (off-site) The winner of each track will be awarded a prize of 1500 €. ON-SITE TRACKS The competition will take place in the CNR Area of Pisa (IT). An actor carries the competing system by walking in and between multi-floor buildings. Position estimates are provided in real time. Data processing is local, without using any external aid. Survey of the area and system calibration is restricted to a single day. Track 1 - Smartphone-based: The actor carries a smartphone which runs the competing system, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position. Track 2 - Video based: The actor carries video equipment on the upper part of the body (no Depth, no Lidar), processing is done using smartphone, tablet or laptop carried by the actor. OFF-SITE TRACKS Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using a ground truth reference database, and compete using new unreferenced data. Track 3 - Smartphone based: A pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in multi-floor buildings using data provided by a conventional smartphone. Track 4 - Foot-mounted IMU-based: A pedestrian carries PERSY (PEdestrian Reference SYstem) a state-of-the-art Inertial Navigation System producing IMU data, MAG data & GNSS data. Maps are not provided. Track 5 - xDR in industrial scenarios: Practical performance of xDR methods in industrial scenarios: sensor data are measured in actual operations in a restaurant and a factory by Android devices. Technical competition details The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules to follow and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Announcements and possible refinements of the annexes, also based on candidate competitors' comments, will be timely distributed on the competition discussion mailing list contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org and will appear on the IPIN web site. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition will be announced during the conference. COMPETITOR ADMISSION PROCESS A competitor can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Only one team from the same organisation (laboratory) is allowed to compete. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) technical description of their localization system (in PDF, using this template), which includes a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track, which is indicated in the relative annex. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register to the IPIN conference, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process (allotted time, support and space) and the submission of one paper describing the system. Note: subscriptions related to competion allow for a single paper to be submitted, rather than the two papers mentioned in the instructions for authors. Competitors who are authors of an accepted paper will be allowed some time after the conference for updating it before publication. Competitors wish to test their system, but do not want to be included in the public rankings and compared with other competitors, may ask for that special condition in advance to the chairs of the relevant track, who can accept or refuse the application depending on their organisational constraints. Competitors wishing to test their on-site system which does not fit any of the on-site tracks may ask chairs of Track 1 to be admitted off-track, which will be granted depending on organisational contraints. Committees Subscribe to the contest mailing list to get updated on the competition: http://evaal.aaloa.org/mailman/listinfo/contest IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------------- Technical description: 15 July Notification of admission: 1 week after Result submission (off-site tracks): 14 September Survey and setup (on-site tracks): 28 September Competition (on-site tracks): 29 September ---------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Competition chairs Francesco Potortì - ISTI-CNR (IT) Sangjoon Park - ETRI (KR) Track 1 Antonino Crivello - ISTI-CNR (IT) Filippo Palumbo - ISTI-CNR (IT) Track 2 Soyeon Lee - ETRI (KR) Track 3 Joaquín Torres-Sospedra - University Jaume I (ES) Track 4 Miguel Ortiz - GEOLOC Team, Ifsttar (FR) Track 5 Ryosuke Ichikari - AIST and University of Tsukuba (JP) Ryo Shimomura - AIST and University of Tsukuba (JP) Software Michele Girolami - ISTI-CNR (IT) -- IPIN'19 http://ipin2019.isti.cnr.it Voice: +39.050.621.3058 Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Skype: wnlabisti via G.
