Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement due to cross posting. CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Submission Deadline: 15/11/2016 Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. Aim and Scope: ------------------- Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network clos! er to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, certain challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). This Special Issue aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance as well as to seek for novel contributions that help mitigating the corresponding research challenges. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this Special Issue include but are not limited to: • FMEC real-time communication interfaces and protocols. • FMEC efficient communication techniques. • FMEC and D2D communication • FMEC security and privacy issues. • FMEC pricing and billing models. • FMEC support for VANETs and MANETs • Cloudlet based computing • Identification of incentives for FMEC service providers. • The future perspective for FMEC: Challenges and Open Issues. • FMEC Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques. • FMEC architecture features and evolution. • FMEC resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability. • FMEC resources monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism. • FMEC resources allocation and management. • Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. • FMEC virtualization. • Information Centric Networking (ICN) and FMEC • Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform. • Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of FMEC. • Security protocols in FMEC. Coherent list of topics: -------------------------- Papers must be tailored to the emerging fields of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing and explicitly consider recent deployments models, challenges and novel solutions. The Guest Editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ett) according to the timetable below.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: SmartMedDev 2017 Datum: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 11:37:08 +0100 Von: Giovanna Sannino <giovanna.sannino(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Giovanna Sannino <giovanna.sannino(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ===================================================================== SmartMedDev – 3rd International Special Session on Smart Medical Devices – from Lab to Clinical Practice February 21 - 23, 2017, Porto, Portugal http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/SmartMedDev.aspx In conjunction with: 10th International Conference on Health Informatics - HEALTHINF 2017 ===================================================================== MISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The goal of this special session is to discuss the problems hindering the widespread adoption of smart medical devices - software based, wireless, implantable and wearable. Many brilliant ideas remain at the level of the proof of concept and never reach the market or the clinical practice. We focus on high-safety health monitoring and life saving devices. We are especially interested in sets of heterogeneous devices aggregated around a common communication platform (smartphone), based on open standards. In our opinion, aside of technical problems, the adoption of such systems is restrained by organizational issues, like incorporating in therapies applied by hospitals and reimbursed by insurances. This may need a formal approval and calls for a well-organized quality monitoring. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the problems, we would like to gather a balanced group of device developers, system integrators and clinical practitioners and provide them a convenient forum for discussion and exchange. We encourage authors to submit papers to one of the main topics indicated below, or to open new perspectives and present novel points of view on this highly dynamic and important research and application field. Lessons learned from actual implementations of devices and systems, prospective frameworks, future visions and position papers are equally invited. TOPICS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topics of Interest include, among others: • Engineering smart sensors / actuators into usable devices • Integrating smart devices into patient health systems • Emerging commercial integration platforms • Integrating patient systems with hospital infrastructure • mHealth initiatives • Emerging mHealth data broker platforms • Interoperability on all levels • Coping with heterogeneity • Coping with variability • Low power cryptography • Roaming • Patient in the loop • Integrated medical systems as Cyber Physical Systems • Regulatory and legal issues • Continuous quality assessment • Challenges for statistical analysis • Managing data • Security and privacy • Blending mentalities and skills • Applications of Computational Intelligence / Soft Computing / Artificial Intelligence methods to: o medical system modelling o adaptivity and autonomicity issues for sets of medical devices o knowledge discovery and pattern recognition from medical data o any of the above topics PAPER SUBMISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit full papers in any of the topics listed above written in English, with around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected. Submissions should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed for scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee. Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to register and present the paper. Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at: http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/Templates.aspx Please also check the http://www.healthinf.biostec.org/Guidelines.aspx. Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris PUBLICATION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support - and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index) and Scopus.
