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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Issue on "Time-Critical Wireless Networks for Industrial Systems and Mobile Robotics" Datum: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 20:19:25 +0000 Von: Andreas Willig <andreas.willig(a)CANTERBURY.AC.NZ> Antwort an: Andreas Willig <andreas.willig(a)CANTERBURY.AC.NZ> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, please consider the submission to the following Special Issue which will be published on Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing international journal, which is a joint Wiley & Hindawi publication (IF 1.9). Also, feel free to broadcast/recirculate this notice to your colleagues and research network. The CfP is attached to this email, and more details can be found at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcmc/si/691674/cfp/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for PAPERS Special Issue on "Time-Critical Wireless Networks for Industrial Systems and Mobile Robotics" Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley & Hindawi) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission deadline: March 23, 2018 Publication date: August 20, 2018 Submission via: https://mts.hindawi.com/login/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lead Guest Editor Federico Tramarin National Research Council of Italy, Padua, Italy federico.tramarin(a)ieiit.cnr.it<mailto:federico.tramarin@ieiit.cnr.it> Guest Editors Andreas Willig University of Canterbury, Canterbury, New Zealand andreas.willig(a)canterbury.ac.nz<mailto:andreas.willig@canterbury.ac.nz> Zhibo Pang ABB Corporate Research, Vasteras, Sweden pang.zhibo(a)se.abb.com<mailto:pang.zhibo@se.abb.com> Stefano Ghidoni University of Padua, Padua, Italy stefano.ghidoni(a)unipd.it<mailto:stefano.ghidoni@unipd.it> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
