Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE IoT Journal - SI on IoV Datum: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 22:42:13 -0700 Von: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hasnaa Moustafa <hasnaa.moustafa(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Vehicles (IoV) The new era of Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the evolution of conventional Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANET) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm. According to recent predictions, 25 billion of "things" will be connected to the Internet by 2020 among which vehicles will constitute a significant portion. The difference of the vehicle concept in VANET and IoV makes these two scenarios essentially different in the device, communications, networking, and services aspects. In VANET, a vehicle is mainly considered as a node to disseminate messages among vehicles. In the IoV paradigm, each vehicle is considered as a smart object equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communications technologies, computation units, IP-based connectivity to the Internet and to other vehicles either directly or indirectly. In addition, a vehicle in IoV is envisioned as a multi-communication model, enabling the interactions between intra-vehicle components, vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and road, and vehicles and people. IoV enables the acquistion and processing of large amount of data from versatile geographical areas via intelligent vehicles computing platforms to offer various categories of services for road safety and other services to drivers and passengers. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize IoV. A typical challenge is the big data processing and storage in IoV due to huge number of connected vehicles. Personal cloud and mobile cloud computing are envisioned to play important roles in dealing with the big data. The seamless integration of the social context into IoV is a promising approach as well as an important question to achieve green transport. In addition, the wide penetration of electrical vehicles in the near future will demand a very careful consideration on the intelligent interactions between IoV and the smart grid. Here, the interactions are not limited to the communications and computation, but the power load scheduling within the demand response management framework in the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) network. All these issues are being studied in academics, industries, and standardization organizations. This special issue is seeking original contributions on IoV, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this area and discussing IoV challenges, key enabling techniques, platforms and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): * IoV architectures and services * Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communications * V2G efficient demand response management * Vehicle social networks for IoV * Mobile cloud computing for IoV * Efficient big data analysis for IoV * Mobile sensing networking in IoV * Driverless vehicles and supporting technologies * Dynamic spectrum access technologies in IoV * IoV for efficient and green transportation * Urban sensing for environment monitoring * Security, privacy and trust in IoV * Novel applications and business models * Testbed platform and field trials * New network technologies for efficient service provision (e.g., content-centric network) Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: August 1st 2014 Revision Due: September1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: October 1st 2014 Final Manuscript Due: October 20th 2014 Publication Date: December 2014 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on IoV.

It will enable preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice by applying diverse Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sensors, computing, networking and communication, and can allow the individuals to participate in their own care. Future SCH will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual through replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring and assessment. The development of SCH will play a key role in the modern society to meet the broad goals of medical applications. However, significant challenges still remain in the area. For example, lack of medical baseline data for each particular individual. The IoT technology such as continuous sensing mobile communication can be employed to create individualized baselines. The theme of the special issue (SI) is especially focused on the two major aspects of IoT for SCH: (1) monitoring and assisting individuals utilizing smart systems including sensors, devices, and robotics, (2) an interoperable digital health information infrastructure to increase medical/health information availability and use. The outputs of SCH with IoT could significantly improve a person's outcomes and quality of life. Findings from the SI will provide support for enabling IoT to move the focus from disease to health and wellbeing at the individual, system, and organizational level in many SCH applications. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of IoT for SCH. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Digital Health Information Infrastructure for SCH * Healthcare Applications of Body Area Networks * Communication Protocols and Algorithms for SCH * Medical Sensors, Devices and Robotics * Privacy, Security and Trust of Medical Systems * Computer-Aided Diagnosis * Data To Knowledge To Decisions for SCH * Data Visualization and Intelligent Integration for Decision-Making * Mobile Social Sensing for Wireless Health * Bioimaging * Integrated Systems for Telemedicine * Clinical Practice and Technology Development * Cloud-Assisted Medical Cyber-Physical Systems * Body Area Networks for Sports Applications and Systems * Mobile Computing for Smart Health and Well Being * Nano-Scale Communications and Networking for SCH * Smart Health and Big Data * Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Robustness of Healthcare Systems Important Dates Submissions Deadline: May 31th, 2014 First Reviews Due: September 30th, 2014 Revision Due: November 15th, 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: December 15th, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: December 31th, 2014 Publication Date: February, 2015 Submission The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Security for IoT.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:06:18 -0700 Von: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: Special issue on Mobile Ubiquitous Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint Scope: The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing Tentative Schedule Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
