-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers - Abstract deadline on Wednesday Dec 2nd. Datum: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 05:23:52 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************* Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ************************** *** Abstract Submission deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) *** ** Full Paper Submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) ** [header] Call for Papers (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/) ACM MobiSys 2016 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience with mobile apps, networks and systems * Innovative wearable, mobile, sensing, and crowdsourcing apps * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems * Innovative wearable or mobile devices * Novel software architectures for mobile devices * Data management for mobile applications * Infrastructure support for node mobility * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Operating systems for mobile devices * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web * Security and privacy in mobile systems * Systems for location and context sensing and awareness * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * Vehicular wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Personal-area networks and systems * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review elsewhere, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged only if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Furthermore, extended versions of papers submitted to ACM HotMobile 2016 should not be submitted to ACM MobiSys 2016, as it is extremely unlikely that they would meet this standard of significant new contributions. Submissions will be single blind, i.e., reviewers will be anonymous and submissions should include authors' names and institutions. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on TPC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a small number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. ACM has been making an effort to support more open access to the proceedings of its sponsored conferences. As a result, the ACM MobiSys 2016 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. Proceedings may be made available in other formats in addition to PDF, such as ePub. A brief public review that summarizes the PC’s opinion of each published paper may also be made available. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze non-public data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval) or certify that such a review is not needed in their country or organization. We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. The submission process will include a free-form paragraph of text that authors can optionally fill out. This is information that the PC chairs may or may not consider during the paper selection process. If the paper is a resubmission of a previous MobiSys rejection, then authors may consider summarizing major improvements made to the paper. Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked to a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will submit a short 1-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. A selected set may be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. Submission Guidelines Detailed formatting guidelines and access to the submission server will be made available closer to the submission deadline and will be provided here.<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/submission.php> Important Dates * Abstract registration deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth * Paper submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) * Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2016 * Camera-ready due: May 9, 2016 * Video submission due: June 1, 2016, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) Contact If you have any questions, please contact MobiSys2016-TPCChair(a)acm.org<mailto:MobiSys2016-TPCChair@acm.org> [Footer] ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been previously published or are currently submitted for publication. The submission must be clearly written and in excellent English, with a maximum page limit of 20 pages.

The Theme: Wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications and there is a further need for communication protocols able to meet requirements such as bounded latencies, high reliability, energy efficiency, security, dependability, and adaptively. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. Wireless communication is also steadily penetrating other application areas in automation, such as cyber-physical systems, in which network-related effects, such as jitter, packet loss and resource contention, can affect the stability and dynamics of the physical subsystems. For this reason, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains. The challenge is exploiting the similarities between the different domains, while coping with the peculiar requirements of each automation application. The goal of the Special Section is to attract papers tackling with the main research issues in the development, adoption and application of wireless communications for a broad range of automation applications, such as traffic, environmental, building, and structural monitoring, factory automation, industrial process monitoring and control, mobile robotics, vehicular communication, energy management, smart grids, avionics, healthcare applications, and many others. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Architectures, protocols and algorithms for wireless communication in automation applications. · Security and safety for wireless automation systems. · Reliable and time-critical wireless communications for automation applications. · Techniques for adaptive wireless communication in dynamic environments. · Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of wireless networks. · Deployment, integration and case studies of wireless sensor and actuator systems in automation. · Wireless communications in Cyber-Physical systems: Design, deployment, evaluation, and case studies. Papers discussing new application areas and new developments of wireless networks are especially welcome . All contributions must focus on wireless communications.

Both poster and demo abstracts may optionally complement the submission with a video of at most 2 minutes that further illustrates the work at hand. If the abstract is accepted, the video will be made available directly from the conference website. Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference’s topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings that appear in the ACM Digital Library. Presentation at the conference: In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot in a further "1-minute madness" session within the main program. In this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 1-minute speech. Attendees will be given an online link where to cast a vote for what they think was the best 1-minute poster or demo teaser. Best poster and demo awards will be decided based on the outcome of the vote.
