October 22-25, 2019 in conjunction with The Sixth IEEE Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTSMS2019/ ============================================= *IOTSMS 2019 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.

The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions June 30, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper 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 .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CHANTS 2019 – Deadline Extension (JUNE 28) - 14th Workshop on Challenged Networks – co-located with ACM Mobicom 2019 - Los Cabos, Mexico Datum: Sun, 16 Jun 2019 19:08:44 +0000 Von: Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou <eirini(a)UNM.EDU> Antwort an: Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou <eirini(a)UNM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2019) http://conferences.ece.unm.edu/chants2019/ colocated with ACM Mobicom 2019, the 25th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Oct 21-25, Los Cabos, Mexico Scope and Overview Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. CHANTS builds on the success of the thirteen previous CHANTS workshops and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing ● Modeling and analysis of challenged networks and protocols for challenged networks ● Communication systems and networks for underground mining ● Underwater communication systems and networks ● Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks ● Networking in polar regions ● Millimeter Wave Networking ● Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing and mobile data offloading ● Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing ● Challenged networking in the Internet of Things and in Cyber-Physical Systems ● Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks ● User behavior modeling and Quality of Service provisioning in challenged networks ● Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks ● Information-centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks ● Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments ● Network coding in challenged networks ● Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use ● Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks ● Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) ● User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks ● Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems Program Committee Chairs Suzan Bayhan (TU Berlin, Germany) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Workshop Web Chair Estefanía Coronado (FBK CREATE-NET, Italy) Publicity Chair Gürkan Gür (ZHAW, Switzerland) Jim Plusquellic (University of New Mexico, USA) Steering Board Kevin Almeroth (UC Santa Barbara, USA) Kevin Fall (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Stephen Farrell (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Jörg Ott (TU München, Germany) Andrea Passarella (IIT-CNR, Italy) Important Dates Abstract Registration: June 28, 2019 Submission Deadline: June 28, 2019 Acceptance Notification: July 31st, 2019 Camera-ready: August 12th, 2019 Workshop: October 25th, 2019 Paper Format and Submission Instructions General Paper Format Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Link: https://static.wixstatic.com/ugd/3a8387_f232b36e50c449aa9f05797a278990c4.pdf Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019 MOTIVATION AND SCOPE: With the recent advances in wireless communications, the automotive industry is leading to evolution. To succeed in this emerging era of technology, the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) has emerged as one of the potential applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). It refers to the dynamic mobile communication systems that communicate between vehicles and public networks to enhance the connectivity between cars via technology. By offering a wide variety of infotainment services, fleet operations, and in-vehicle applications, IoCV has gained the tremendous capacity to provide a safer and sustainable transportation system to the society. According to Gartner Inc., “the connected car is already a reality, and in-vehicle wireless connectivity is expanding rapidly”. As a result, the evolution of cars into the IoT will keep on accelerating the global market which is expected to grow by 270 percent by 2022. Further, the increasing deployment of sensors and ever-evolving cognitive technology open up new opportunities for IoCV. Due to these significant developments, connected vehicles are receiving widespread attention from the major automotive giants such as Tesla, BMW, Waymo (Google), Uber, Volvo, etc. Despite all the opportunities offered by the IoCV, their highly dynamic topology and the increasing number of vehicles pose challenges regarding delivering low-latency vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The fifth generation (5G) wireless networks emerge as a critical provider to handle the stringent connectivity requirements of IoCV. Moreover, with the development of massive multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), terahertz (THz) frequencies, millimetre-wave (mmWave), and heterogeneous networks (HetNets), 5G intends to guarantee new capabilities related to connectivity, data rates, transmission delay, throughput and moreover quality of experience (QoE). Thus, integrating 5G cellular systems into IoCV is a promising technology to achieve the goals mentioned above. However, as we are moving towards the 5G communication era, the data generated by connected vehicles is expected to grow exponentially; which in turn brings significant challenges to 5G. Therefore, to promote productivity, improve efficiency, and ensure the efficient handling of continuous growing data, it requires the support of high computing paradigm that can process the data with minimum delays. To accomplish these objectives, a programmable and scalable network paradigm is the need of the hour that can provide a variety of services to 5G-envisioned IoCV in diversified scenarios. In this direction, software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have gained much attention from the research fraternity. They rely more on network programmability to realize efficient network services. However, this traditional device-to-device management paradigm falls short while dealing with 5G mobile networks as it is characterized by a humongous cycle of connected devices. To overcome these problems, intent-based networking (IBN) has evolved as one of the paradigm shifts which combines automation with intelligence. Typically, IBN is composed of four essential elements namely, translation and validation, automated implementation, awareness of network state, and assurance and dynamic optimization/remediation; which takes the networking strategy to a higher level. Due to these fundamental elements, IBN holds excellent potential for reliable network support with quick turnaround and scalable services. Additionally, it also facilitates simplified network operations with seamless integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This, in turn, provides more opportunities to build more robust and efficient network designs for 5G-envisioned IoCV. Thus, this special issue intends to offer an opportunity for researchers (both from industry and academia) to present the dedicated efforts on the key theories, innovative schemes, and significant applications for realizing QoS in 5G-envisioned IoCV communication. This special issue mainly focuses on collecting the original contributions related to IBN-IoCV amalgamation in 5G wireless networks, which aims to provide high-performance scalable computing to connected vehicles while advancing the V2X communication infrastructure. Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: -New opportunities/challenges/ use cases for IBN in 5G enabled IoCV -Machine learning and optimisation-based algorithms, tools and solutions -Distributed mobility management and network intelligence -New architecture and communication protocols -Innovative applications and services -MIMO/massive MIMO/millimeter wave technologies -Big data analytics and Industrial IoT Applications -Role of cloud, edge and fog computing -Secure, dependable and trustable cyber-physical systems -Privacy protection and trust management -Energy-efficient and green communication solutions -Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance support for IBN PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Paper submission should conform to the information for authors available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE Internet of Things Journal - Special Issue on Emerging Trends and Challenges in Fog Computing for IoT, Submissions Deadline: August 1, 2019 Datum: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:30:26 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for papers IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Emerging Trends and Challenges in Fog Computing for IoT http://ieee-iotj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SpecialIssueonEmergingTrend… SCOPE: Fog and Edge Computing paradigm is regarded as capable of satisfying the resource requirements for the emerging mobile applications such as virtual and augmented reality, vehicular networks, and IoT applications. Such implementations will exploit further the capabilities of Mobile Edge Comping (MEC), wireless virtualization, and Software Defined Systems or Networks (SDNs) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) among others. Due to the non-linearity of the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) model, the resource manipulation with the solution provided within the context of SDN for MEC devices should be solved concurrently so that the associated performance can be assessed and evaluated. The inclusion of MEC, SDN, and NFV and its possible support for 5G systems are emerging as one of the highly active research areas with a large room for improvements. In addition, one important aspect of great importance is the continuously increasing processing, caching and storage capabilities required by emerging applications such as IoT and virtual reality. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue covering all aspects of current work on Fog Computing, Edge Computing and with the long-term architecture that will encompass the differently supported middleware(s). Topics of interest include (but not limited to): - Content and service distribution models for fog computing - Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing - Energy-aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing - Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing - Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing - Fog and MEC security and related considerations - Real-time communication interfaces and protocols - Fog-enabled data services - Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures (i.e., for storage, etc.) - Fog computing as an enabler for 5G - Intelligence in fog computing for IoT - IoT and fog computing convergence mechanisms Important dates: Submissions Deadline: August 1, 2019 First Reviews Due: October 15, 2019 Revision Due: November 15, 2019 Second Reviews Due/Notification: December 15, 2019 Final Manuscript Due: January 15, 2020 Publication Date: 2020 Submission Guidelines: Authors need to follow the manuscript format and allowable number of pages described at: http://ieee-iotj.org/guidelines-for-authors/.
