[CFP] IoTIP-14, International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives
by Valeria Loscri 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

*************************************************************************** Call for papers IEEE DCOSS International workshop on Internet of Things – Ideas and Perspectives (IoTIP-14) May 25-27, 2014 Marina Del Rey, USA https://iotip2014.hds.utc.fr/ Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal *************************************************************************** Important dates Submission Deadline: Acceptance Notification: Camera Ready Due: Workshop Date: Call for papers March 9th, 2014 April 1st, 2014 April 13th, 2014 May 28th, 2014 Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: ‐ IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies ‐ IoT systems and components ‐ IoT for semantic web and personalization ‐ Tools for developing IoT applications ‐ Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT ‐ Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT ‐ Security and privacy control mechanisms ‐ Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) ‐ PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications ‐ MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT ‐ Mobility management ‐ Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability ‐ Object, device and service management ‐ RFID, sensors, actuator technologies ‐ Middleware ‐ Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) ‐ Test-beds and field trials ‐ Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145. All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: ‐ Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; ‐ Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, big data, distributed systems, cloud computing, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus, Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition in Zurich, Switzerland, and ExtremeCom 2013 - The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region in Iceland, we present the ExtremeCom 2014 edition: The Galápagos Expedition. The conference will start with 3 days of excursions in the amazing nature of the Galápagos Islands. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience the islands and their plant and animal life, both above and beneath the surface of the ocean. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. After the excursions, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. ***************** Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. A selected set of top submissions will be fast-tracked to a special issue in a reputed SCI/E journal. We only accept PDF files, no greater than 6 pages in length (2 pages for the demos), including text, figures and references. Manuscripts should use the ACM templates (for LaTeX, please use Option 2 files), with 9pt fonts. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of moobile communication systems Real deployments of networks in extreme environments Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments Delay tolerant networking User experience research Big data research such as mining and modeling of mobility and social network Cloud computing for extreme scalability Mesh networks and sensor networks Low-power and intermittent-power protocols Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications Distributed computing for mobile environments Networked applications and services Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications Underwater networking Robotic communications and mobile augmented reality Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first. **************************************************************************** * Organizers --------------- General co-chairs: Pan Hui, HKUST, Hong Kong / T-Labs, Germany Anders Lindgren, SICS Swedish ICT, Sweden Local conference operations chair: Carlos Herrera, Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Ecuador TPC vice-chairs: Jorge Sá Silva, University of Coimbra, Portugal Pei Zhang, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Sponsorship co-chairs: Filipe Mota Pinto, Instituto Politécnica Leiria, Portugal Carlos Egas, Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Ecuador Publicity chair: Fernando Ramos, University of Lisbon, Portugal Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, SICS Swedish ICT, Sweden Technical Program Committee: TBC Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Avri Doria, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Pan Hui, HKUST, Hong Kong / T-Labs, Germany Anders Lindgren, SICS Swedish ICT, Sweden **************************************************************************** * Fernando ======== <http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~fvramos/> http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~fvramos/

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca.mottola(a)POLIMI.IT> Gesendet: 14. Februar 2014 19:42:06 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - DEADLINE EXTENDED! Call for Papers: The 1st Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK - ==================================================================== Please note: Due to a technical glitch in the submission system and several requests from prospective authors, we are extending the deadline to Feb 21st 2014 11:59:59 EST. 14 April 2014 Berlin (Germany) http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/ -* Keynote information announced! *- Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: * Low-power communication in robot networks * Programming of robot swarms * Sensing coverage using robotic swarms * Task allocation * Distributed sensing * Coordination in robot swarms * Verification and validation * Distributed planning and navigation * Novel applications * Experience reports Important dates: Submission deadline: Feb 21, 2014. Notifications : March 7, 2014. Camera ready : March 15, 2014. Workshop : Apr 14, 2014, at 2pm. Workshop keynote: Prof. Davide Scaramuzza from the University of Zurich, Robotics and Perception Group, will give the opening keynote about “Vision- Controlled Micro Aerial Vehicles: From Calm Navigation to Aggressive Maneuvers” Submission Guidelines: We invite to submit short papers in PDF format, of at most 4 pages in length including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, and using a minimum of 10-pt font. Suitable templates are available at the workshop website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: MobiCom 2014 Datum: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 16:37:48 +0000 Von: Eugene Chai <eugene(a)NEC-LABS.COM> Antwort an: Eugene Chai <eugene(a)NEC-LABS.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *** We apologize if you have received multiple copies of the CFP *** CALL FOR PAPERS MobiCom 2014 will mark the 20th edition of the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless networking. To mark the special event, the conference will add new features which will be announced in coming days and months. However, it all starts by you submitting your best paper! MobiCom 2014 solicits papers that focus on the theory, system, practice and challenge of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how people use their computer, computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and technology enabling those applications. At its core, we expect papers to address issues related to mobile computing, security and communication challenges in the presence of various wireless and mobile networks, including but not limited to wireless LANs, cellular data networks, mobile social networks, delay-tolerant networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, vehicular networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, as well as real-world measurement and deployment of mobile systems and applications. MobiCom 2014 will be a diverse conference, and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The authors should note there is an intent to provide open-access to all accepted conference articles. PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the submission site http://mars.cse.ohio-state.edu/mobicom2014/. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: 1. Maximum of 12 pages 2. Font size no smaller than 10 points 3. Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches × 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column 4. Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches × 11 inches) Detailed instructions on how and where to submit your paper can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2014 All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions to authors on preparing a double-blind manuscript will be posted here shortly. Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs(a)acm.org. BEST PAPER AWARD (AND MORE!) 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. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. In addition, this year, we plan to add new award categories. The details of the new award categories will be announced in the near future. IMPORTANT DATES Abstracts submission due 5:00 PM EST, March 5, 2014 (hard deadline) Paper submissions due 5:00 PM EST, March 10, 2014 (hard deadline) Notification of acceptance June 2, 2014 Camera-ready version due July 27, 2014 IMPORTANT NOTE It is ACM policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright_policy) not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently.
