-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP ADHOCNETS 2018 - deadline April, 20th 2018 Datum: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 21:05:13 +0100 Von: Nathalie Mitton <nathalie.mitton(a)inria.fr> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================================================= The 10th EAI International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS 2018) Cains, Australia, Sept. 20-23, 2018 http://www.adhocnets.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS Paper submission deadline: April 20, 2018 OVERVIEW: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which nodes (mobile or static) are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructures such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting an increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of ad hoc networks due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy constrained operations for the networks. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), sensor networks, vehicular networks, underwater networks, airborne networks, underground networks, personal area networks, device-to-device (D2D) communications in 5G cellular networks, and home networks etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP ACM MobiSys Workshop LocNet 2018 Datum: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 22:43:36 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Workshop on Location Systems for Management and Control of Mobile and Wireless Networks (LocNet) at ACM MobiSys 2018, Munich, Germany ======================================================================== Wireless location systems have been studied extensively in recent years and are advancing at a rapid pace. State-of-the-art location systems now achieve very high levels of accuracy down to the decimeter-level and below, even without dedicated positioning hardware. Positioning data can bring dramatic benefits to mobile networks, not just for conventional data analytics and location-based services running over the network, but for the management and control of the network itself. Location information can be used to optimize resource allocation and network control decisions as networks become denser and support high-order MIMO and wider bandwidths, which allows devices to accurately measure the wireless environment. It is particularly relevant for emerging technologies such as millimeter-wave communication systems, where the antenna configuration, availability of paths, access points to associate with, and the data rate strongly depend on the location of the devices and on reflectors and obstacles in the environment. Location information can also be used, for example, for anticipatory networking mechanisms in mobile networks, where resource allocation decisions are based on the predicted future state of the network and users. Localizing terminals, people and things accurately and reliably allows to better deploy, provision, and manage mobile and wireless networks, thus increasing their reliability and scalability. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest developments in wireless location systems, their impact on network management and control to enhance the efficiency of communication networks, and the inherent technical challenges. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Location and positioning algorithms - Positioning in mobile networks - Millimeter-wave location systems - Visible light location systems - Anticipatory networking mechanisms based on location information - Network management and control based on location information - Network architectures and localization protocols to support use of location data - Localization and network optimization for IoT devices (including LoRa) - Joint millimeter-wave communication and radar - Wi-Fi, RFID, and other types of positioning systems - Backscatter localization - Location data fusion of cellular, WiFi and other technologies - Fusion with inertial sensors - Positioning systems with joint use of time, angle, and other observations - Location error modeling and measurement - Signal processing for location systems - Scalability of location systems - Energy efficiency of location systems - Experience from measurements and experimental results - Open testbeds for experimentation - Open-source location system implementations - Open-source location-based network management systems *Important dates* Paper submissions due: March 1, 2018 Notification of acceptance: April 18, 2018 Camera ready papers due: May 4, 2018 Workshops date: June 10/June 15, 2018 *Submission guidelines* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Communication for Connected and Cooperative Driving workshop of the 29th IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Datum: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 15:05:32 +0100 Von: Benoit HILT <benoit.hilt(a)UHA.FR> Antwort an: Benoit HILT <benoit.hilt(a)UHA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies for multiple reception Please consider to submit a paper to the Communication for Connected and Cooperative Driving <http://www.2018iv.org/WS24.html> workshop of the 29th IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium <http://www.2018iv.org/Program.html> Scope and Goal This workshop is dedicated to the requirements, recent advances and prospective work in communication technologies aiming to make cooperative driving possible. Nowadays intelligent vehicles sense their neighboring environment exclusively with onboard sensors. Due to intrinsic (range) or external (obstruction by static or dynamic obstacles) limitations, the area and the accuracy of this sensing are limited. The exchange of locally sensed information between several communicating nodes (i.e. vehicles, infrastructure) can help to overcome temporary blindness or extend the perception area. However, candidate communication technologies (Cellular (4G, 5G), WiFi, etc.) have to be adapted to the use cases of cooperative driving and intelligent transportation systems. The goal of this workshop is to gather and discuss scientific work about communication technologies suited for V2X communication in the constrained area of cooperative collaborating vehicles. Also, security issues which come up with the online connectivity of vehicles, shall be discussed. Topics of Interest 4G, 5G, Wifi, Light-based V2X communication for cooperative driving Use case definitions for intelligent vehicles Security issues in communication for cooperative driving V2X communication performance test and evaluation (packet loss, latency, drop out, etc. Paper submission will be done through IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) Conference Management System <http://its.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl> with code 27iv2 (see linked Call for Paper <http://www.2018iv.org/images/CFP_LAUFFENBURGER_Communication%20for%20Connec…>for more details). ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call For Papers Datum: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 01:23:25 +0800 Von: Yuanfang Chen <callforpaper2018(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yuanfang Chen <callforpaper2018(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ========================================================================= Special Issue on Mobile Edge Computing for Vehicular Networks IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine Special Issue ========================================================================= Call For Papers: Driven by the “connected vehicles” vision, smart vehicles are on the road equipped with advanced computation units, multiple communications technologies, intelligent sensing platforms, and human computer interaction devices. With the aid of these equipment and technologies, vehicles can offer many new applications and services, such as active driving safety assistance, self-driving cars, smart parking, road traffic monitoring, and fleet management. In addition, there are new content-centric applications for drivers and passengers. These applications typically require intensive computation and demand low-delay data processing, e.g., video analytics with real-time interaction, image-aided navigation, natural language processing, and interactive gaming. Such applications pose great challenges to the existing vehicular terminals and networks, especially in terms of their computational resources. To meet the ever-increasing computation demand in vehicular networks, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as a very promising solution. With the dramatically enhanced capacity, MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits to vehicular networks, including ultra-low latency between smart devices/vehicles and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications; privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge cloud, and big data analytics at the point of capture for novel safety-oriented applications. Despite the potentially significant benefits of MEC, many challenges need to be addressed in this new paradigm. A typical challenge is related to computation offloading which should consider mobility-awareness and incentive in MEC for vehicular networks. In addition, various computation tasks may have different resource requirements, including the computation resources for task execution and the communication resources for task transmission. In this case, a joint optimization problem should consider both communications, computation and control dimensions. The objective of this special issue is to present the latest results, insights, and perspectives on the new area of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. The topics of interest include, but not limited to: · New concepts, architecture, and principles · Cloud-edge integration and techniques for vehicular networks · Software defined vehicular networks with mobile edge computing · Edge computing supporting big data analytics for novel applications and services (e.g., traffic, surveillance, infrastructure planning) · Edge computing supporting machine learning, deep learning for self-driving cars · Communications, computation and storage resource management and optimization · Computation offloading, traffic offloading · Communications, computation, control convergence · Edge caching for content sharing in vehicular networks · Energy management, energy efficiency and greenness-performance tradeoff · Security and privacy · QoS/QoE provision · Use cases/applications highlighting the potential of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research material presented in a tutorial or survey style. Manuscript format must adhere to the IEEE VT Magazine submission guidelines. Articles should be about 3,000 to 4,000 words long with 5-10 figures and 10-15 references. The use of mathematical equations should be limited to three. Submit papers using ScholarOne Manuscripts™: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/vtm-ieee Important Dates Submission Deadline: 1 June 2018 First Editorial Decision: 1 September 2018 Acceptance Notification: 1 November 2018 Final Manuscript Due: 1 December 2018 Publication: Spring 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Different types of relationships exist among things, thus forming social connections such as parental-object relationship, co-work-object relationship, co-location-object relationship, ownership-object relationship, and so on. The definition of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) applies to an interconnected set of vehicles providing information for common services such as traffic management and road safety. The Social IoV (SIoV) is an extension to the concept of IoV, where the social networking concepts of SioT are applied to IoV. In SIoV, smart vehicles build social relationships with other social objects they might come into contact, including other vehicles and Road Side Units, with the intent of creating an overlay social network to be exploited for information search and dissemination for vehicular applications. In SIoV scenario, several challenges are worth to be investigated. SIoV paradigm is still in its infancy but there is a concrete interest by the research community, automotive industry and social application providers to develop SIoV applications. The special issue on Recent Advances on Social Internet of Vehicles accepts papers dealing with the following topics of interest (but not limited to): * Data dissemination mechanisms in SIoV * Social-based network protocols for SIoV * Privacy, trust, and security issues in SIoV * Autonomic service discovery in SIoV * Data management, big data processing and analytics in SIoV * Integration of SIoV and cloud/edge/fog/on-board computing environment * SIoV in 5G and vehicular network environments * Test-bed and simulation tools for SIoV * New Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and services based on SIoV Important dates: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2018 1st Reviews Due: May 15, 2018 Revision Due: June 15, 2018 2nd Reviews Due/Notification: July 15, 2018 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2018 Publication Date: 2018 Submission: All original manuscripts must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot All manuscripts will be peer reviewed and must follow the standard guidelines for manuscript preparation and submission available at http://iotjournal.weebly.com/guidelines-for-authors.html Select the “Recent Advances on Social Internet of Vehicles” special issue, when uploading your manuscript.

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. 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.

In this regard, the IoT promises to be one of the most disruptive technologies with transformational impact on industry and society throughout the next decades. As a global super- infrastructure, the IoT is a key enabling technology for a multitude of application domains, including smart cities, smart cars, smart home, smart health, smart factories, smart buildings, etc. However, related applications and services are only feasible if the underlying systems do not fail and disastrous real-world impacts are avoided, making dependability one of the main design challenges. The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. SIES provides a platform to report on recent developments, deployments, technology trends and research results, as well as to discuss and start initiatives related to embedded systems and their applications in a variety of industrial environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - General Embedded Systems: Dependability Aspects; Design and Validation; Operating Systems and Middleware; Power Awareness; Adaptive and Compositional Systems. - System-on-Chip and Network-on-Chip: Design & Testing; Multiprocessor Design; Design of Application-Specific CPU/MCU Architectures; Platform-Based Design; Reconfigurable Platforms; Implementation and Testing of Integrated Circuits. - Networked Embedded Systems: Design, Dependability and Tooling; Middleware; Network Protocols. - Embedded Applications: Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things; Domain Specific Systems (e.g., Industrial Automation and Control, Intelligent Transportation, Automotive, Avionics and Aerospace, Smart Home, Wireless Health Care, Automation and Control).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Connected & Smart Vehicles Datum: Sun, 14 Jan 2018 20:45:19 -0500 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies] ------------------------------------------ Call for Papers: Feature Topic on Emerging Technologies for Connected and Smart Vehicles http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/emerging-technologies-connected-and-smart-… ------------------------------------------ IEEE Communications Magazine (Impact Factor: 10.435) ------------------------------------------ SCOPE: Over the past decade, advances in vehicular communications and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have been aimed at trimming down the fuel consumption by avoiding traffic congestion, enhancement of traffic safety while initiating a new application, i.e., mobile infotainment. To address the individual requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the Connected and Smart Vehicles field, there is a need to build up a new communication technology for the integrated solutions of vehicular communication and smart communications. The Connected Vehicles infrastructure can be of various models such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2E). Due to the rapid growth in the Connected Vehicles, many research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, appropriate scalable design of MAC and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to the changes in environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and evaluation and validation of Connected Vehicles’ protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. In addition, the information shared among Connected Vehicles is of great importance and it is not yet clear what kind of privacy policies will be defined for the ITS networks. This Feature Topic (FT) aims to emphasize the latest achievements to identify those aspects of Connected Vehicles and ITS networks that are identical to a traditional communications network in the broader spectrum. Feature Topic Focus: In this FT, we would like to try to answer some (or all) of the following questions: What will be the effect on Policy Making regulations when the connected vehicles will hit the roads? What are the privacy consequences of Connected Vehicles with Smart onboard peripherals? What kind of privacy policies will be defined for the connected vehicles and smart ITS networks? What kind of education and training are required for drivers and passengers of such connected and smart vehicles to take full benefits of the proposed communication architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make Connected Smart Vehicles more attractive? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Vehicles with networked hardware? In addition, the authors are expected to address state-of-the-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements in the following topics, but not limited to: - Intra-vehicle communication (vehicle-to-pedestrians, vehicle-to-portable, vehicle-to-sign, etc.) - Network and system architecture for Connected Vehicles - MAC protocols and channel management - Physical layer and routing protocols - Delay tolerant vehicular networks - Real-time optimization system - Modeling and theory - Internet-of-Vehicles, smart sensors (infrastructure and vehicle based) - Mobility management (Traffic models) - Energy efficient vehicular communication - Quality-of-Service for vehicular communication - Future Internet in ITS and Networking Systems - Information and Content-Centric Networking in Connected Vehicles Networks - Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Devices IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscript Submissions Due: February 1, 2018 Decision Notification: June 1, 2018 Final Manuscript Submission: July 15, 2018 Publication Date: October 2018 EDITORS: Syed Hassan Ahmed University of Central Florida, USA sh.ahmed(a)ieee.org Jalel Ben-Othman University of Paris 13, France jalebeno(a)yahoo.fr Jaime Lloret Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es Wael Guibene Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA wael.guibene(a)intel.com Ashfaq A.
