Funds for these travel grants are provided by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and ACM SIGMOBILE. While the NSF grants are available only for full-time undergraduate and graduate students attending US colleges and universities (not necessarily US citizens or permanent residents), the ACM SIGMOBILE grants are available for International/US full-time undergraduate and graduate students. Priority will be given to students who will benefit from attending the MobiSys main conference and its co-located events, but are unlikely to attend due to the unavailability of travel funding. Underrepresented minorities and female students, as well as first-time attendees that do not have a paper at the conference, are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications for the Student Travel Grant should be sent electronically as a single PDF attachment to the Mobisys 2018 Student Travel Grant Chairs, at mobisys18stg(a)googlegroups.com <mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com>, by April 30, 2018. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys 2018 Student Travel Grant [US] if applicants are from US institutions. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys 2018 Student Travel Grant [International] if applicants are from institutions outside US. A complete application should consist of the student's CV, a short personal statement (maximum one page), and a supporting letter from the student's advisor. The supporting letter can be merged with the student application in the same pdf file (preferred option) or sent as a separate pdf file by the student’s advisor to the Student Travel Grant Chairs, at mobisys18stg(a)googlegroups.com. The student's short personal statement (maximum one page) should include: • The title of his/her accepted MobiSys work (conference/workshop paper, poster/demo, PhD forum) - if the student is an author. • A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date. • A description of areas reflected in the MobiSys 2018 program that would affect the student's research. • Importance of attending the conference to the student's research activities. • An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiSys 2018: airfare, hotel, and conference registration. It is anticipated that travel grants will partially cover these attendance costs. The supporting letter from the student’s advisor should include: • Confirmation that the student is in good standing. Note: We will accept applications from Ph.D., Masters, and undergraduate students working on relevant research problems. • The suitability of MobiSys 2018 program to the student's research area. • Ways in which attending the conference would benefit the particular student. • The strengths and potential contributions of the student. • A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the student applicant’s travel cost not covered by the grant. The MobiSys 2018 Student Travel grant committee will review applications, and the awards will be announced by May 7, 2018. The reimbursement amount will be capped at $1500 per student; student advisors are expected to cover the remainder of the travel cost.

While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

For important deadlines and paper format, please check the web page or the CFP copied below. Regards, Dr. Sudhir Dixit, Prof. Seshadri Mohan, Prof. Ramjee Prasad and Prof. Hiroshi Harada Guest Editors, Feature topic on Multi-sensory Human Bond Communication IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 2019 CALL FOR PAPERS Information and communications technologies have progressed rapidly in this millennium for people to communicate and exchange information using multimedia (speech, video/image, text) and the same has extended to internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Propelled by the explosive growth in IoT, this trend is only going to accelerate in the years to come with new inventions in the =C3=A1r= ea of human-IoT interaction technologies to deliver powerful engaging and intuitive experiences. But, these developments have remained confined to only the sensing and transmission of aural and optical information in the digital domain through the use of microphone, camera, speaker and display devices. However, the ability to integrate the other three sensory features, namely, olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste) and tactile (touch) in information transfer and replication to deliver Star-Wars-like being there experience are still far from reality. Human bond communication (HBC) is a novel concept that incorporates all five sensory information from sensing to digitization to transmission and replication at the receiver to allow more expressive, engaging, realistic and holistic information between humans, and in some cases between humans and machines (M2H) or IoTs. This FT solicits articles that explore different aspects of HBC, IoTs for HBC and the interplay between these two fields, M2M and M2H, which also include the other three human sensory information (olfactory, tactile and gustatory) in addition to aural and optical sensors. Although the FT invites papers on research topics on sensing and replication, the focus of these papers should be on the ICT angle in this regards and on how information is encoded, transmitted and decoded reliably and securely in a world which would increasingly become multi-sensory. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Communication aspects of biometric extending to all five senses - Smart body area network - Brain-to-brain communication - Brain-to-brain interface, Brain-to-computer interface, Computer-to-brain interface - Gustatory, tactile, olfactory sensing and replication - Human bond communication - Human bond communication(s) interface - Human unwelt expansi=C3=B3n - Interplay between HBC and IoT - Invasive (i.e. bionic) approaches - Physical world augmentation (PWA) through the inclusion of all five senses - Privacy, security, and reliability in HBC - Sensory augmentation, sensory substitution - Wearable(s) with non-aural and non-optical sensor - Wireless body area network - Sensor encoding, transmission and decoding SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call. IoPARTS2018 invites researchers, engineers, and subject matter experts from academia and industry to present their latest innovations, which address coworking challenges between humans and robots within the context of IoT. It stems from the observation that rapid advances in sensing, sensor algorithms, miniaturized computing, and improved actuation are expeditiously bringing robots into our daily lives. The near future holds promise of driverless cars, package delivering drones, precision agriculture, co-working robots, and others. A major paradigm change with these applications is the degree of autonomy of the robot, and the close proximity of their operation in urban environments. This is dramatically different from prior deployments of automation in factories with very structured environments constructed for their operation. This change brings several challenges arising from close proximity of operation with humans, modality of interaction, general awareness, and others. This workshop is interested in bringing out the computer systems challenges that this future paradigm presents. Such systems challenges include spatial awareness of the robot, ability to react in a timely manner, faster and better modes of interaction, and systems/protocols for seamless interaction in diverse environments. Topics of interest include, but not limited to : * Real-time software design for mixed-criticality systems * Smart space design for human-robot systems * System architectures and protocols for interacting with unmanned autonomous vehicles * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning * Novel sensing and interface technologies for human-robot interaction * Algorithms for human-robot coordination * Joint inference and learning based on data generated by human wearables, fixed sensors and robots * Human-in-the-loop algorithms for robot sensing/actuation * Verification of hybrid human-robot systems * Improved communication/visualization between robot and humans * Energy management among robots and mobile/fixed sensors * Issues on heterogeneous sensor modalities and capabilities among humans and robots * Security/Privacy challenges of human-robot systems * Ethical/social challenges of human-robot systems * Results from prototypes, test-beds, and demonstrations * Novel applications of human-robot systems Two types of submissions are solicited: * Full papers: Maximum length of 6 pages, including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. * Vision abstracts:Extended abstract that offers a future vision for a research direction in this space, of maximum length of 2 pages. The abstract should include title, author list, narrative (the vision statement), and references. At least one author of each accepted abstract must register for the workshop and participate in a future visions session. The session will include short talks by author of accepted abstracts, followed by discussion. Submission Guidelines: * IoPARTS invites submission of original work not previously published, or under review at another conference or journal. * Submissions (including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references) must be no greater than 6 pagesin length for Full papersand must be no greater than 2 pagesin length for Vision abstracts. * Papers must be in PDF format, and should be submitted through the submission website: https://ioparts18.hotcrp.com/. * Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. * All submissions must follow the formatting guidelines as given on https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/submission/ <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/submission/>; and those that do not meet the size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. * Accepted papers will be published by ACM.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users' data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving "by design". The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT - Service platforms for IoT applications - Business models and processes for IoT applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT - Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT context - Experiences with IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart-Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration of IoT with Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.
