They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon has recently advertised their new drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs that need to coordinate their activities. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design (requirements and challenges) - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Communication for drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - MAV-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Automated map generation - Game, entertainment, and multimedia drone applications - Smart cities and urban applications of MAVs - Social good applications - Emergency applications - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE TVT SI on "Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks" Datum: Sun, 1 Mar 2015 18:42:31 -0500 Von: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline: July 1, 2015 CFP URL: http://anss.org.au/members/thluan/pdf/TVT_SI_5G_Vanet.pdf Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors.

Please circulate this CFP among your colleagues and students. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS [ContextQoS 2015] 5th International Workshop on Context-aware Quality of Service Engineering and Management for Cyber Physical Systems Emerging Networks, Applications and Services Important Dates Paper due: March 6th, 2015 Author Notification: April 13th, 2015 Camera-ready due: May 8th, 2015 In conjunction with 24th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2015 from August 3 - 6, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV, USA! ICCCN is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The Proceedings of the ICCCN 2015 has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program. Workshop papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be EI indexed. For more information: http://www.contextqos.org **************************************************************************** Context-aware QoS provisioning and management (also known as context-aware performance engineering) has many facets and most of the time novel tailored schemes are required to provide an appropriate level of QoS for different types of networks, applications and services. The provisioning of a certain level of QoS according to the requirements of an entire context can hardly be accomplished in special networks, e. g. for Advanced Manufacturing, using traditional QoS provisioning and management schemes because these do not account for the requirements introduced by the new dynamic networks and applications. The definition of a certain level of QoS using the traditional models is just driven by technical aspects of the running applications. Novel context-aware schemes have to be developed to cope with the challenges given by these special networks. These must account for the dynamic requirements and ideally allow to permit system-independent usage. Advanced Manufacturing is only one example for a new type of network that has to face special requirements. Context-awareness is required in several types of networks and for different types of applications and services. All of these are different. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to network traffic of a corporate Intra-Network. Each of them have different constraints and demands that should be covered by a context-aware QoS provisioning and management system. This workshop, among other things, wants to bring together researchers to present and discuss novel approaches and solutions as well as recent results in this area of research, e.g. specially designed for Advanced Manufacturing, Cloud and Grid Computing, Wireless Mesh Networks, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless and Mobile Sensor Networks, Private Home Networks as well as other types of Cyber Physical Systems and Networks. Technical Topics * Performance engineering for Advanced Manufacturing * QoS for mission critical communications * Recognition of performance relevant context-patterns * Context-pattern transformation for QoS provisioning * Autonomous context-aware traffic classification * Concepts for achieving transparency to co-existing QoS mechanisms * Security and privacy of context-aware QoS approaches * Control protocols for distributed QoS provisioning and management * Performance-driven routing protocols and algorithms * Cross-platform QoS control * Context-dependent energy management * Cognitive QoS patterns in multi-agent systems * Implementation of context-aware QoS-drivers and middlewares * Concepts for usage of context-aware QoS approaches * Performance analysis of context-aware QoS approaches * Real-Time concepts for context-aware QoS control * Context-aware transmit power control * and all other topics not named at this point, but belonging to the main topic of this workshop Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via Easychair as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 5 pages. One additional page is permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere.

Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models. Experiences from deployments and case studies related to the aforementioned subject areas are particularly welcome. The Call for Papers covers (but is not limited to) the areas of: Places of Living and Work * Multimedia pervasive computing for smart environments * E-Health services in smart environments * Smart applications for special user groups (e.g. people with disabilities) * Personalized, transformable urban housing and farming * Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work * Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Mobility Networks: * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of cooperative applications and services, vehicular networking for smart transportation * Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines * Technologies and services for new urban vehicles such as electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. * Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces * Technologies for shared-use vehicle systems * Electronic parking systems Electronic and Social Networks: * New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems * Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities * Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces * The development of exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially acceptable services Urban Analysis and Modeling: * Data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities * Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) * Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities * Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technologies for cities Paper Submission: ------------------------ Authors are invited to submit, via the EDAS system, full papers written in English, with a paper length of 6 printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (overlength are allowed, up to two extra pages, at an extra cost).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [IoT-Sys 2015] Call for Papers - Deadline March 7 - The 1st International Workshop on IoT challenges in Mobile and Industrial Systems Datum: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:32:16 +0100 Von: Simone Cirani <simone.cirani.unipr(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Simone Cirani <simone.cirani.unipr(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ----------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------- 1st International Workshop on IoT challenges in Mobile and Industrial Systems (IoT-Sys 2015) May 18th, 2015, Florence, Italy In conjunction with MobiSys 2015, May 18th-22th, Florence, Italy Workshop website: http://iot-sys.wasnlab.tlc.unipr.it/2015 DESCRIPTION: The IoT is a rich set of ICT technologies that enables pervasive interactions among smart objects across the Internet. Applications ranging from smart home, and smart factories to smart agriculture demonstrate its applicability across several markets. The idea of an “Internet of Things” is accepted. IoT-related technologies and standards are reaching maturity through the work of all major standardization bodies (e.g. IETF CoRE/ROLL/6TiSCH, WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, 3GPP MTC, ETSIM2M/OneM2M). Yet, open issues remain which can slow down adoption. They include: (i) limited interoperability between vertical silos; (ii) difficulty to guarantee deterministic service provisioning using interoperable architectures; (iii) limited flexibility and adaptability of hard real-time service models and related IoT deployments (iv) lack of definitive Information Centric Networking approaches to inherent data centric IoT applications; (v) fragmentation of design guidelines and definitions, which are tightly tied to each single application domain; (vi) efficient and scalable service and resource discovery; (vii) mobility support and self-configuration for smart objects and mobile devices. The challenges and opportunities arising from a proper integration of the IoT with mobile computing and industrial systems create a fascinating research field that deserves in-depth investigations. On the one hand, mobile devices are expected to become the joining link between connected smart objects, the web, and end-users. On the other hand, IoT technologies will play a significant role for the quick convergence between Operational Management Systems (OMS) and distributed ICT sensing and actuation platforms. The resulting Industrial-IoT systems will be characterized by: (i) wire-like (>99.9%) reliability; (ii) ultra low power (years of battery lifetime, or energy harvesting capable); (iii) hard constraints on data latency and throughput. Example applications include: industrial control loops, umbrella networks, energy harvesting solutions, IoT-aided robotic systems. The IoT-Sys workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging new ideas about the challenges and symbiosis between the Internet of Things, Mobile Computing, and Industrial Systems. The workshop aims at providing a significant contribution by fostering fruitful and critical discussions between attendees in order to facilitate the growth of the main pillars of Mobile-IoT applications and Indutrial-IoT systems, and, more importantly, pave the road towards networked systems of Information in IoT applications. We are looking for submissions on topics that are relevant to the Mobile-IoT synergy and Industrial-IoT. Contributions with experimental focus, real world experience, and system building are particularly encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Protocol architectures for industrial-IoT systems Service Level Agreement and Quality of Service strategies for the IoT Activity scheduling and determinism in the IoT Seamless integration in IoT-aided robotics applications Security, Privacy and Trust in the IoT age Information Centric Networking design in the IT Deverticalized middleware for M2M applications in IoT scenarios Protocols & Architecture for the Tactile Internet Mobile devices as smart objects Mobile OS and middleware for IoT support Integration of wired and wireless networks Cellular communication and Internet of Things Complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments Information access in IoT networks Security and privacy of mobile & IoT networks Innovative applications for mobile based sensing and processing Interaction between mobile devices and IoT networks in pervasive scenarios Interoperability among mobile and IoT nodes Data harvesting, processing, and caching Service migration between mobile and IoT devices Service and resource discovery Self-configuration and heterogeneity management Mobility of smart objects Workshop papers will be included with the MobiSys proceedings and posted in the ACM Digital Library.
