-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE PIMRC 2018 W5 - Workshop on Small Data Networks Datum: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:46:28 +0200 Von: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, you are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE PIMRC 2018 Workshop on Small Data Networks http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/ <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/> “Small data” refers to a rising paradigm in modern wireless networks, pointing to information exchanged by smart devices and sensors in the broad context of machine-type communications. Small data sets span typically from metering data and status reports to remote commands and data generated and transmitted within the IoT. They are generally produced by a multitude of devices which access the communication infrastructure sporadically, generating a massive amount of short packets that have to be received with high reliability, exploiting the available spectrum resources efficiently even in absence of coordination. In such a framework, the design of the network protocol departs from conventional approaches used for predictable and persistent data sources. Major changes have to be applied to the physical and the medium access control (MAC) layers to account for the sporadic nature of the transmissions, touching all basic aspects from signal detection, channel estimation, coding and modulation up to the medium sharing policies and possibly involving the higher layers of the communications stack. While traditional protocols treat interference as a waste and therefore are designed to avoid them, in recent years several innovative developments have been proposed, such as physical layer network coding and various techniques based on successive interference cancellation (SIC), where interference is instead embraced and creatively utilized. These developments have opened a completely new perspective for uncoordinated protocols, paving the way to dramatic performance improvements, and rendering the throughput of interference-limited channels competitive with respect to that of systems relying on predictable data sources. This is calling for new studies on the fundamental limits as well as on finding optimal ways of designing waveform, signal-processing algorithms, error correcting schemes and access protocols, and on theoretical tools to drive the system design. Research in the field is further buttressed by clearly defined market- driven goals from the industry, in the quest for highly reliable, highly efficient, low-complexity access solutions for a massive number of devices. The road towards 5G and more generally machine-type communications represent only some relevant application examples where upcoming research has the potential to leave a fundamental mark. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate new contributions to the topic, with emphasis on cross-layer interactions between the MAC and PHY layers of the protocol stack, as well as on the connections to coding and information theory. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fundamental limits on communications for small data sets • Channel coding and modulation for sporadic transmissions • Error control coding for ultra-reliable communications • Network coding in multiple access schemes • Successive interference cancellation in MAC protocols • Wireless access protocols for vehicular networks • Wireless access protocols for machine type communications, large-scale sensor networks, and IoT • Innovative techniques for 5G and IoT radio access networks • Efficient access schemes for short-packet communications • Energy efficient MAC-PHY spatial processing • Channel estimation and user detection for massive access Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit technical papers of their previously unpublished work. Accepted workshop papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings and will be uploaded to IEEE Xplore. Papers should be submitted via EDAS; the links are available at http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/> under “Authors”.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Regular (full) papers (10 pt font in two-column IEEE format) should present novel perspectives and match with at least two of the topics of interest of the workshop. Papers are expected to be 6 pages long, yet submissions of up to 8 pages are allowed. Papers in excess of this limit will not be considered for review or publication. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS at: <http://edas.info/N24451> All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extended to 5 May 2018 - Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal (IF=3.04) -- Special Issue on Recent advances on Security and Privacy in Intelligent Transportation Systems Datum: Sun, 8 Apr 2018 07:24:52 -0400 Von: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Deadline Extended: May 05, 2018] Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal . Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-i… Scope and Motivation: ---------------------- The rapid evolution of communications technologies together with the variety and potential availability of network access mediums and service providers have led to the emergence of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). There is a large variety of ITS networks spanning from mobile ground networks, e.g. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) to aerial ground networks, e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. VANET is a kind of ITS networks where a vehicle is a connected car equipped with various communications technologies such as: Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and cellular networks (3G/4G). The purpose of VANET is to ensure a wide area coverage for all vehicles in scaling the network, thus achieving the always best connected paradigm where the best connectivity is offered to clients wherever they are and at any time. UAV is another kind of aerial ITS networks, which are used in military applications for target monitoring and engaging air to ground combats. It is also used in civil applications to explore inaccessible areas and deliver data to and from areas with no network infrastructure. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize ITS network; security and privacy is one of them since, on one hand, vehicles exchange sensitive data (e.g., accidents notification, coordinates of nuclear sites, etc.) and on the other hand they form a specific network with particular characteristics (frequent fragmentation and dynamic topology). This special issue covers studies and solutions that ensure ITS security and privacy. We encourage authors from the industry and academe to submit their original research works that will enhance our understanding and modeling of security, privacy, and attacks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Intrusion detection and response systems in ITS network. Intrusion prediction model in in ITS network Data Mining and Machine learning for IDS Cyber-attacks against ITS network Security metrics Secure localization in ITS network Lightweight cryptography technique Cyber-attacks modeling in ITS network Secure routing protocol Key management schemes in ITS network Privacy challenges in ITS Important Dates : ------------------ Manuscript Due: May 05, 2018. Acceptance notification: July 01, 2018 Revised paper due: September 01, 2018 Final manuscript due: December 01, 2018 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: March 01, 2019 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/. Authors should select “SI: SP&ITS2017”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
