++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
11th IEEE Conference on Internet of Things (iThings-2018)
Halifax, July 30-August 03, 2018
http://cse.stfx.ca/~iThings2018/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
INTRODUCTION
---------------------
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) brings promising opportunities and
challenges. It attracts great attentions, and has important economic and
social values. IoT has played a key role in the next generation of
information, network, and communication systems. Future IoT may bring us
an era of “harmony of things with nature”, which means harmony fusion of
Cyber, Physical, Social and Mental spaces. We will witness emancipation
not only from onerous labor works brought by machine-human interface,
but also from the spatial-temporal constrains in Physical-space, and
will achieve substantial benefits from IT development.
The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings
2018) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers,
engineers, and practitioners to present state-of-the-art advances and
innovations in theories, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds,
technologies and applications for the IoT, as well as to identify
emerging research topics and define the future of everything
interconnect via cyberspace.

ACM MobiCom the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless
networking, seeks full papers describing significant research contributions
in the systems design and implementation, practice, or theoretical aspects
of providing users with an enriched and ubiquitous mobile or wireless
experience. Papers addressing important challenges in access/communication,
energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless
networking and mobile computing form the core of the conference. We also
invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless
networking research, including but not limited to:
* Communications for Embedded and Energy-Harvesting Systems
* Edge Computing
* Long-Range/Low-Power Wide-Area Wireless Networking
* Low-Latency Networking
* Machine-to-Machine Communications
* Millimeter wave and Terahertz Communications
* Mobile Web
* Next-Generation 5G mobile networks
* Visible Light Communications
* Mobile Data Science & Analysis
* Mobile/Wireless Research & Cloud Computing
* Mobile/Wireless Research & Software-Defined Networking
* Sensing with Radio, Light, Sound, and Vibration
* Wearable Computing
Successful papers will address real research challenges through rigorous
analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment
of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will
evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area.
All submissions must describe original research not published or currently
under review for another conference or journal, and if accepted, papers
will be published in the conference proceedings. MobiCom strongly
encourages authors to describe how they will provide access to
well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases
to support the reproducibility of their methods.
In addition to full research papers as described above, MobiCom
https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018 also invites submission in the following
three categories:
Challenge Papers
The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages
excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that
challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research
community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or
visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of
future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work
are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive
evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth
understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed
by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference
technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge
papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for
the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix.
Experience Papers
The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages
excluding references) that present extensive experiences with
implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless
networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as
descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will
be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their
data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii)
discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on
current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on
society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited
experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected
experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program
and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers
should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full
papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix.
Verification Papers
MobiCom welcomes contributions that seek to verify and/or characterize
recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental
methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing
the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Such
submissions should be short papers (limited to eight pages excluding
references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. Selected
verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program
and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers
should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full
papers.
Paper Submission Instructions
All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the MobiCom paper
submission website https://mobicom18.hotcrp.com/ Authors should prepare a
PDF version of their full paper.
Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper
complies with the following requirements. You are strongly discouraged from
violating these requirements with the aim of including additional material:
submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed.
You can visually inspect a page-by-page report of your paper format using
the same tool as the submission system via a separate online form
https://www.sysnet.ucsd.edu/sigops/banal/index.php After the submission
deadline, we will use the same tool to check the conformance of papers. The
format checking tool uses heuristics and can make mistakes. The PC chairs
will manually inspect and possibly reject those papers with evident format
violations. However, no paper will be rejected due to format violations
without first being checked by hand.
Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be
immediately rejected:
* Full papers: Contain no more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered
pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material,
followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers
whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be
reviewed.
* Experience/Verification/Challenge Papers: Contain no more than eight (8)
single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any
appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary
for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is
longer than eight pages will not be reviewed.
* Font size no smaller than 10 points.
* Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x
3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no
more than 55 lines of text per column.
* Submissions must be in PDF (Portable Document Format) authors should
ensure that they are compatible with Adobe Acrobat (English version). Any
other formats, including Postscript and MS-Word, will not be accepted.
* Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches).
* Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file.
The PDF file must also not
contain any embedded hyperlinks, as these may compromise reviewer anonymity.
* Limit the file size to less than 15 MB: contact the PC chairs if you have
a file larger than this limit.
You may find these LaTeX https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/
2018/files/sig-alternate-10pt.cls and MS-Word https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/
2018/files/word-acm-10pt-on-12pt-7.0x9.25.doc templates useful in complying
with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final
responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper

ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking 2018
Call for Papers
The 5th ACM conference on Information Centric Networking (ICN 2018) will
be held in Boston, MA, USA, Friday through Sunday, September 21-23,
2018. We are inviting submissions that describe significant research
contributions to ICN as broadly defined. The fundamental concept in
Information Centric Networking (ICN) is to provide the ability to access
named information as a principal service offered by the network,
evolving the Internet from today’s host based packet delivery towards
directly retrieving information objects and invoking services by name in
a secure, resilient, scalable, and efficient way. These architectural
design efforts aim to address the challenges that arise from the
increasing demands from accessing cloud resources, from accelerated
growth of mobile devices and edge computing, from wide deployment of
Internet-of-things (IoT), and from the need to secure the global
Internet. Papers pertaining to these and/or related fields are
specifically encouraged.
ACM ICN 2018 will be a single track conference focusing on current ICN
research topics, featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations.
Topics of Interest
• Use of ICN for both legacy problems and novel use cases, including
but not limited to:
• Name-based access to fog/edge computing resources as well as to
cloud services
• Device and content mobility
• IoT and CPS (e.g., industrial IoT, smart city, smart homes,
vehicular communications)
• Network layer, mobility and architecture:
• Comparison of architectures, ICN styles and semantics
• Interdependency of namespace design, routing, and resource control
• ICN support for ad hoc and direct peer-to-peer communication
• ICN for high-speed networking

• Congestion control
• Zero configuration ICN
Submission Details
Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length (excluding references),
following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature
research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length (excluding
references): This format is suitable for less mature workshop-oriented
work not ready for a full submission and for thought-provoking position
papers. Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as
full-papers. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are
particularly encouraged. Note that in order to ensure adequate citation
of related work, extra pages of references are allowed (and encouraged).
Submissions will be reviewed (single-blind review process) and evaluated
on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness,
evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to
related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions
about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A
“best paper award” will be attributed from the program committee to one
among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper
categories. The program committee may invite authors of non-accepted
papers to present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page
extended abstract. Please note that ACM ICN 2018 also has a specific
call for posters, demos, tutorials, and panel sessions.
To submit abstracts and papers to the ICN 2018 conference, first
carefully read the submission policies, the conflicts of interest, and
the formatting requirements specified on
https://conferences.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2018/submissions.php.
Submissions can be made through HotCRP: please go to the ICN 2018
Submission Site at https://icn18.hotcrp.com/.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fifth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Smart Vehicles: Connectivity Technologies and ITS Applications
(SmartVehicles 2018)
June 12, 2018, Chania, Greece
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/smartvehicles2018/
**** Paper Registration Deadline --- March 5, 2018 ****
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- March 12, 2018 ****
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
---------------------------------
New wave of urbanisation, ever more stringent emission standards, and
high pressure on improving the efficiency of private and public
transport have made the development of more sustainable transportation
systems one of the fundamental societal challenges of the next decade.
Connected and increasingly automated vehicles are seen as one of the key
enabling technologies for more efficient and sustainable transportation
systems. To enable connected automated vehicles, it is of paramount
importance to: i) design vehicular communication systems that enable
road users and other actors to exchange information in real time meeting
security and reliability requirements; ii) enable pervasive sensing to
monitor the status of vehicles and the surroundings; iii) develop data
analytics tools for processing large amounts of data generated by the
transportation infrastructure; iv) develop middleware platforms for
information management and sharing; and v) define appropriate
interaction interfaces between drivers and vehicles. The seamless
integration and convergence of vehicular communication networks,
information and transportation systems, and mobile devices and networks
will face a number of technical, economic and regulatory challenges.
To that end, SmartVehicles 2018 workshop will bring together academics,
researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss

Recently, there has been increasing interest in areas like smart
factories, process control, robotics, smart energy grids, etc. These
entities can be regarded as complex real–life systems, composed of
several collaborating computational agents surrounded by a suitable
ICT infrastructure to effectively control time-critical physical
processes. In particular, such a structure focuses on the intersection
between the physical process and computation, where the former
provides a feedback loop to the computational side, and vice
versa. This kind of systems are often identified with the term
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To support this framework, the
underlying communication infrastructure is required to provide
definite and trustworthy performance, strong reliability and bounded
latencies, while supporting self- healing and flexible network
deployment.
It is collectively recognized that high–performance wireless protocols
will represent a breakthrough in future CPS, enabling the exploitation
of an ad–hoc, rapid and adaptive connectivity while ensuring the
required performance. Unfortunately, wireless communications are prone
to disturbances and external interferences, and are often affected by
non-negligible packet loss rates, random delays and jitter. Indeed,
their actual low penetration in industry-grade control scenarios is
mostly due to these long-existing challenges to meet the specific
time-critical applications’ constraints reliably.
A broad range of high–performance applications may benefit from the
adoption of time–critical wireless communications, such as:
industrial control and factory automation systems, mobile and
cooperative robotics (e.g. robotic manipulation, vision), coordination
and control of mobile computing agents (e.g. smart drones). In all
these applications, the underlying communication network has to be
able to steadily sustain a high sampling rate of the physical
environment, a requirement that current wireless systems might not be
able to meet.
In the context of this special issue, several research areas reveals
of paramount interest. Interoperability among heterogeneous systems
and cost issues push toward the adoption of widespread commercial
wireless solutions, such as IEEE 802.11-based ones, which are not
specifically designed to support time-critical control
applications. Efforts are hence imperative to dramatically enhance the
communication performance of wireless systems in order to boost the
actual sampling times in critical scenarios. This entails the design
and exploitation of new protocols, architectures and algorithms to
enable cooperation and control over wireless lossy channels. The
development of effective real–time scheduling techniques are also
envisaged for an efficient traffic management. Moreover, fields like
coordination and vision over wireless are significantly impacted by
these types of networks, and activities are required in this field to
match the required and the available performance.
The main aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research
papers addressing the most recent advances in all the highlighted
fields. Also, we encourage submissions of survey papers summarizing
the state of the art in any of the related research areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
* Algorithms, architectures, protocols, and standardization issues of
wireless communications in time-critical scenarios
* Modelling and simulations techniques in time-critical wireless
systems
* Cooperative networking
* Medium access control, error control and channel resource management
in wireless systems
* Ultra-reliable and low-latency wireless systems in distributed CPS
* High mobility, energy efficient and self-powered wireless systems in
distributed CPS
* Full duplex wireless and millimeter wave technologies for real-time
communications
* New advancement of 5G for critical control systems
* Wireless communication issues in digital smart grids, intelligent
transportation and critical healthcare systems
* Networking issues of cooperative and autonomous robots.
* Basics, prospects, and trends in future networked wireless mobile robots
* Telerobotics and teleoperation for semi-autonomous robots
* Wireless networks for telepresence robots
* Coordination and vision over wireless
Papers are published upon acceptance, regardless of the Special Issue
publication date.

**** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 12, 2018 ****
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. 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

Call for Papers
1st Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical
Networks and Systems (CPSBench - co-located with CPSWEEK)
April 10, 2018 - Porto, Portugal
https://cpsbench2018.ethz.ch/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMS AND SCOPE
Over the last decade, research on cyber-physical networks and systems
has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from
smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Significant progress
has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as embedded and
real-time systems, robotics and control, wireless communication and
networking, signal processing, and machine learning. Despite these
advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these
results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies.
This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an
individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that
span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the
applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world
cyber-physical applications and deployments. This state of affairs is
alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in
cyber-physical networks and systems research.
The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems
(CPSBench) brings together researchers from the different
sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously
evaluating and comparing cyber-physical networks and systems. CPSBench
provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and
evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to
jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that
matter from an overall system’s perspective.
We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to
submit short position papers. We particularly encourage submissions that
focus on one of the following:
- identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous
benchmarking and evaluation of cyber-physical networks and systems;
- offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of
experimental comparison;
- report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation
criteria;
- present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the
relevant communities (embedded systems, networking, control, robotics,
machine learning, etc.);
- propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase
the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results.
Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to
support a paper’s claims.
Accepted papers will be published as part of the CPSWEEK proceedings,
which will be considered for inclusion in ACM Digital Library or IEEE
Xplore. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at
the workshop.
SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING
Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single-spaced U.S. letter
pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions
must be written in English.
Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page
of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without
error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers
must differ significantly in content from previously published papers
and must not be currently under review for any other publication.
All papers must be submitted through http://cpsbench18.neslab.it/.
