Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN)
by Lars Wolf 06 Nov '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 14:48:11 +0000 Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Antwort an: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Paris, France April 29, 2019 In order to handle the ever-increasing traffic load, existing wireless networks have typically been designed and planned with a focus on improving throughput and increasing coverage. Achieving ultra-low latencies – often together with unprecedented levels of reliability, has not been in the mainstream in most wireless networks, due to the focus on human-centric communications and delay-tolerant content. However, a plethora of socially useful applications and new uses of wireless communication are envisioned in areas such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), industrial control, automated driving or flying, mission-critical IoT, remote robotics, smart grid and tactile Internet. In response, new releases of mobile cellular networks (mainly focusing on 5G new radio and beyond) are envisaged to support scenarios with extremely strict requirements in terms of latency (ranging from 1 ms and below to few milliseconds end-to-end latency depending on the use cases). Low latency communication poses significant theoretical and practical challenges, requiring a departure from throughput-oriented system design towards a holistic view (network architecture, control, and data) for guaranteed and reliable end-to-end latency. Cooperative networking can maintain the robustness of network connectivity, since in cooperation, wireless nodes assist each other for improved connectivity and increased diversity. Most present systems employ centralized resource allocation, which is inappropriate for such applications though, as it relies on a significant control-layer overhead and incurs severe latency. The ULWWN workshop will be held in Paris on April 29, 2019, in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2019. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Low latency communication in mission-critical and emergency applications * Cooperative networks for achieving ultra-low latencies * Buffer-aided cooperative networks with stringent delay constraints * Fundamental limits, performance analysis, network theoretic approaches (e.g. stochastic network calculus, timely throughput) * Anticipatory network models for low-latency networking * Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for achieving ultra-low latencies * Edge caching and content replication for low latency * Network slicing and network function virtualization * Applications * Factory automation and industrial control * Tactile Internet * Industry 4.0 * Intelligent transportation * V2X communications * Remote robotics * Smart grid * eHealth * Mobile edge cloud computing * Safety-critical avionics The proposed workshop will provide a forum where researchers, technical experts, and practitioners could share the latest results and insights on how to achieve ultra-low latencies in wireless networks. In addition to presenting key and emerging results, the workshop (through its keynote, panel and regular sessions) is expected to identify new challenges and opportunities in this area. Submission Guidelines The ULLWN Workshop calls for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages. The review process is single blind. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper). Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files through the EDAS website. Important dates Submission: December 30th, 2018 Decisions: February 22nd, 2019 Camera ready: March 10th, 2019 Workshop Organizers Prof. Nikolaos Pappas (Linkoping University, Sweden) Prof. Themistoklis Charalambous (Aalto University, Finland) Dr. Marios Kountouris (Huawei Technologies, France) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Gesendet: 29. Oktober 2018 13:20:01 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Extended deadline: PMC journal SI on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Call for papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 2.974) https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) ***** Extended deadline: November 15, 2018 ******* Cloud has been popularly used for handling computation-intensive tasks and providing intelligence to distributed IoT devices. However, as the number of Internet-connected devices is dramatically growing, cloud shows its limit on handling the daunting amount of computation loads on the one hand and the network bandwidth for moving huge volume of data from end devices to cloud becomes the bottleneck on the other hand. Edge computing is an emerging paradigm to optimize cloud-IoT ecosystems for tackling both network bottleneck and reducing data volume. The basic idea behind the edge computing lies in that the data processing such as analytics and knowledge generation are performed in the proximity of data origins. One can see edge devices as small-scale clouds providing comparatively limited functionality and capability, as compared to the centralized cloud. The use of edge devices in the proximity of data origins thus improves network latency. Moreover, the amount of data that need to be processed by each edge device will be substantially less than the amount of data that need to be processed by single cloud. Despite numerous benefits from edge computing, this paradigm also brings new security and privacy challenges. While edge devices might be smartphones, smart gates, or even PC/laptop, together with the numerous kinds of end IoT devices such as smart watch (e.g., Apple iWatch), implantable medical devices (e.g., fitbit), voice assistants (e.g., Google Home), one can imagine various scenarios with sensitive data usage. For example, the smart watch collects sensitive physiological information. Meanwhile, distributed edge devices need to cooperate with each other without the involvement of the data center. These scenarios obviously result in a high concern of security and privacy, especially on, for example, access control of edge devices, data abuse/misuse, DoS resistance on edge devices. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent research on security and privacy of edge computing, with particular emphasis on security and privacy issues on edge/end devices. More specifically, we invite recent advanced research on privacy enhancing technologies and secure cryptographic techniques to address security and privacy challenges in the field of edge computing. The following themes are of particular interest: Authentication, auditing and accountability in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Edge computing architectures and solution design patterns Edge computing for IoT Communication and networking protocols for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Fine-grained access control mechanism in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-preserving computation in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Trust and reputation issues in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security architecture for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Key management in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT IoT communication in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Incentive models or techniques for data processing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-Enhancing Cryptographic Techniques in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security for Crowdsourcing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Guest Editors: Claudio A.

While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems are regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating systems, real-time systems, databases, mobile computing, distributed systems, computer vision, and middleware communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to investigate the intersections and the interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore: — Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or system whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in more than one component, or — Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services. Such individual system components include: — Operating systems — Distributed architectures and protocols — Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers — Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia — New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses, and algorithms for their operation — Representation of continuous or time-dependent media — Metrics and measurement tools to assess performance This touches aspects of many hot topics including but not limited to: content preparation and delivery systems, HDR, games, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, 3D video, immersive systems, plenoptics, 360° video, volumetric video delivery, multimedia IoT, multi and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile multimedia and 5G, wearable multimedia, P2P, cloud-based multimedia, cyber-physical systems, multi-sensory experiences, smart cities, QoE. Special Sessions ---------------- — Machine learning and statistical modeling for video streaming — Real-time video at the edge — Advanced transport protocols for video — Volumetric media: from capture to consumption Refer to the Web site for more info. Submission, notification and camera-ready dates will be the same as for the research track. Submission Information ---------------------- Papers should be between 6-12 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style and written in English. MMSys papers enable authors to present entire multimedia systems or research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published in the ACM Digital Library. The papers are double-blind reviewed. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three TPC members. All papers will be evaluated for their scientific quality. Authors will have a chance to submit their rebuttals before online discussions among the TPC members. ACM SIGMM has a tradition of publishing open datasets (MMSys) and open source projects (ACM Multimedia). MMSys 2019 will continue to support scientific reproducibility, by implementing the ACM reproducibility badge system. All accepted papers will be contacted by the Reproducibility Chair, inviting the authors to make their dataset and code available, and thus, obtaining an ACM badge (visible at the ACM DL). The additional material will be published as Appendixes, with no effect on the final page count for papers. Sponsors -------- Adobe, Netflix, Bitmovin, Comcast, DASH-IF.
