-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Andreas Willig <andreas.willig(a)CANTERBURY.AC.NZ> Gesendet: 4. Oktober 2019 05:02:13 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (We apologize for possible cross-posting) ============================================ Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special issue on "Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: new trends in computing and communications" Submission deadline: January 30, 2020 ============================================ Scope and topics ---------------- Stimulated by the rise of Industry 4.0, as well as by the pervasiveness of Information Communication Technologies (ICT), intense research in Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) is emerging for several applications. The further integration of the Internet of Things within the ICPS scenario triggered considerable research efforts within the new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm, with application scenarios like smart factories, smart energy grids, smart transportation systems, etc. One of the defining features of ICPS is the involvement of a large amount of cooperative computational elements tasked with the control of time-critical and mission-critical physical entities. These strict requirements are also shared by the IIoT scenario to provide unprecedented vertical integration, specialized high-level services, enhanced interoperability and availability. Furthermore, an ever more rising and ubiquitous trend in this IIoT context is represented by Digital Twins, where a real-time update of a large amount of data from the physical system is required to update the corresponding digital replica. As a consequence, both the computing architecture and the communication networks and protocols call for novel paradigms, albeit satisfying stringent low latency, high reliability and availability, safety, and security requirements. Traditional computing and communication and paradigms are not properly equipped to fulfill all these requirements, as they are typically designed to optimize different performance metrics and application scenarios. Hence, new paradigms are emerging, significantly changing the landscape of industrial automation systems and networks. In the computational realm, edge/fog computing is gaining popularity to leverage the enhanced capabilities of end devices, and at the same time, the interest in virtualization techniques is steadily increasing, with the aim of increasing the quality, timeliness and reliability of time-critical tasks. The new generations of communication systems, both wired and wireless, are also focused on ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency information delivery, as well as on enhanced features to enable time- sensitive operations, highlighted by the developing 5G and TSN standards. A common trend in both areas is the increasing adoption of approaches based on machine/deep learning to improve the adaptiveness of such system to different applications and environments. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Concepts, modeling, simulation and validation of ICPS and IIoT - Emerging applications of industrial and smart CPS in healthcare, mining, logistics, transportation, energy, manufacturing, etc. - Security and safety solutions for ICPS - Interoperability and standardization for computing, intelligence and communication in the ICPS and IIoT scenarios - Cloud, edge and fog computing for ICPS and IIoT: resource allocation and management, network slicing, etc. - Big data analysis for ICPS real-time control - Fog-based deployment and management of AI applications in ICPS - Machine learning techniques in real-time closed loop control - Partitioning of machine learning frameworks over fog/edge infrastructure - Real-time data storage, distribution, and analytics - Virtualization of computing resources - Digital Twins in the IIoT scenario - Blockchain technologies for the Industry 4.0 - High performance industrial wireless and wired communications - Emerging cellular networks for critical control systems - Convergence of industrial wired and wireless networks - Cross layer design of computing and communications with enhanced performance Manuscript Preparation and Submission ------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics, see http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: New Trends in Computing and Communications Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM HotMobile 2020: The 21st Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, March 3-4, 2020, Austin, Texas, USA Datum: Wed, 2 Oct 2019 18:02:36 -0400 Von: Yaser Jararweh <yaser.amd(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yaser Jararweh <yaser.amd(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 21st Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2020) https://hotmobile.org/2020/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE March 3-4, 2020 Austin, Texas, USA Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2020, the Twenty-first International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.” We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: · Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility. · Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing. · Wearable computing, internet of things, edge computing, sensing, and context-awareness. · HCI issues related to mobile computing. · Security and privacy of mobile computing. · Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility. · Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. The deadline for submissions is *October 15, 2019, 11:59pm EDT*. Acceptance notifications will be sent by December 15, 2018. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature ideas to warrant publication. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. The submissions must meet the following formatting requirements: · Font size no smaller than 10pt. · Font size of the bibliography no smaller than 9pt. · Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. · Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). We recommend the use of the "sigconf" ACM proceedings template, available at: http://www.acm.org/, with the font size of the main body amended to 10pt. An example Tex document can be found here. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submissions are meeting all formatting requirements. The submission link: https://hotmobile20.hotcrp.com/ The papers accepted to HotMobile 2020 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) - "Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions" Datum: Tue, 1 Oct 2019 00:37:01 +0100 Von: Anish Jindal <anish.jindal(a)THAPAR.EDU> Antwort an: Anish Jindal <anish.jindal(a)THAPAR.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org [*************** Apologies if you received multiple copies of the mail *******************] *Special Issue on * Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions *Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) * *Call for Papers * With the growth of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm, there has been a tremendous makeshift in how the distributed devices work to achieve a common goal. However, it remains essential that all these devices work in a coherent manner to perform a collective action. This makes the task of resource provisioning extremely important in such a paradigm. The end-user level in IoT mostly comprise of the low computation and communication powered devices. An improper utilization of the available resources in such a scenario burdens the complete system and degrades the quality of service. In such a scenario, the use of cloud computing techniques can help to manage the resources effectively. More so, with the emergence of relatively newer cloud-based technologies such as edge and fog computing, resource management in the IoT has become far more effective. These technologies bring the computation and communication capabilities closer to the IoT devices where some of the services can be offloaded to the edge devices. These devices are called IoT edge devices and they provide a unique opportunity to tackle some of the existing and pertinent issues for resource management in IoT paradigms; yet at the same time, they face their own set of challenges. However, the use of IoT edge devices in a traditional IoT paradigm results in better utilization of the available resources as well as improving the overall quality of service. Keeping this in mind, this special issue will address the resource management in IoT edge devices with the focus on various challenges faced, and potential techniques and solutions to address such challenges by leveraging IoT edge devices. The researchers, both at the academic and industrial level, working on resource management in IoT edge devices can share their latest results to create wider awareness about their schemes. The topics of interest include (but not necessarily limited to): - Resource provisioning using IoT edge devices - Improving quality of service using IoT edge devices - Novel architectures for integrating IoT models with edge devices - Use of advanced learning methods such as artificial intelligence and deep learning for resource management in IoT edge devices - Exploiting edge devices for computation offloading in IoT paradigms - Analysis of overheads and requirements for using IoT edge devices - Security and resilience issues in IoT edge devices *Important Dates * *Submission Due:* December 15, 2019 *Notification Due:* March 15, 2020 *Revision Due: *April 30, 2020 *Notification of Final acceptance: *May 30, 2020 *Final paper due:* June 30, 2020 *Special Issue Paper Submission * We seek submission of papers that present new, original and innovative ideas for the "first" time in SPE. Submission of "extended versions" of already published works (e.g., conference papers) with more than 50% brand "new" material is allowed.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [EWSN 2020] Workshops and Tutorials Datum: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 16:58:34 +0100 Von: Ramona Marfievici <ramona.marfievici(a)ALUMNI.UNITN.IT> Antwort an: Ramona Marfievici <ramona.marfievici(a)ALUMNI.UNITN.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG AWAKE: 1st Workshop on Wake-Up radio technologies for next generation wireless communications While low power communication has evolved towards multi-kilometer ranges and low bit-rate schemes in recent years, a tradeoff must still be made between power consumption and latency. However, the time of making such trade-off could be over thanks to the emerging technology of Wake-Up radio. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers both from academia and industry to exchange and share their experiences and research results related to Wake-Up radio emerging technology. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: October 30, 2019 Acceptance notification: December 10, 2019 Camera ready: December 20, 2019 WEBSITE: https://hotcrp-awake-ewsn2020.citi-lab.fr/ OBSN: 1st workshop on On-Body Sensor Networks Mobile phones have in the past decades turned into sensor-rich devices, accompanied by a large set of extra wearable devices that can be worn on the wrist, arm, hip, around our chests, in front of our eyes, or in our ears. These devices have enriched our way of monitoring our health, keeping track of our fitness, or have improved the way we interact with digital content around us, allowing for instance gestural interactions or activity recognition. This workshop sets out to focus on wearable and networked sensing and actuating devices, and the different methods that are required to keep such devices’ design small and comfortable enough to wear. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: November 24, 2019 Acceptance notification: December 8, 2019 Camera ready: December 20, 2019 WEBSITE: http://ubicomp.eti.uni-siegen.de/workshop/obsn2020/ FAILSAFE: 2nd International Workshop on the Engineering of Reliable, Robust, and Secure Embedded Wireless Sensing Systems Embedded networked sensor systems, such as those found in WSN, IoT, CPS, etc, promise a revolution in monitoring and control. However, real-world examples are proving notoriously difficult to deploy and maintain, and as yet only relatively small scale successes have been published. This workshop will provide a forum to combine the experiences of international researchers, to create a systematic understanding of the challenges of building systems in the face of system and environmental instability, pointing the way towards a science of sensor systems software. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: November 15, 2019 Acceptance notification: December 10, 2019 Camera ready: December 20, 2019 WEBSITE: https://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ MaDeLoRa: 1st International Workshop on Massive LoRa Deployments: Challenges and Solutions LoRa supports various PHY layer parameter settings which impact reliability, coverage, scalability, energy consumption, data rate etc. Network operator have some control on the parameters of the sensor associated with them and are concerned with network planning and capacity. The application designers and end users need to know how to get their needed level of reliability and they have to take into account the specifics of the technology. The aim of this workshop is to shed the light on the main challenges and solutions of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) based on LoRa technology. We solicit contributions in this area from researchers and practitioners in both the academia and industry. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: November 1, 2019 Acceptance notification: December 10, 2019 Camera ready: December 20, 2019 WEBSITE: http://www-sop.inria.fr/coati/events/madelora2020/index.shtml Tutorial1. FIT IoT Lab tutorial: End-to-end application with IoT-LAB testbed Through this tutorial, you will learn how to program your own application to publish data issued from remote sensors on a web dashboard. You will be free to choose your favorite OS (Contiki-NG, RIOT, etc) and play with different sensor nodes. The tutorial will be run using the FIT IoT LAB testbed which offers remote and free access to thousands of heterogeneous sensor nodes and communication technologies (802.15.4, BLE, LoRa, Wi-Fi). Some of them are deployed in Lyon, in the building where the tutorial will take place. You will advance at your own pace, assisted by the FIT IoT LAB engineers team and will have the opportunity to explore some of the features and technologies provided by the testbed. Tutorial 2. A tutorial on Visible Light Communication: An Academic and Industrial Perspective The Enlight'em consortium invites the research community to a tutorial on Visible Light Communication (VLC). The tutorial will have two main parts. The first part will have strong academic content and will cover four areas: (1) Hardware Layer: Optical materials used as transmitters and receivers, (2) Physical Layer: Modulation techniques used to avoid flickering, (3) MAC Layer: Techniques used to share the visible light spectrum, and (4) State of the art: Discussion on the various research directions using visible light for communication and sensing. The second part will have strong industrial content and will cover four main areas. (1) Current products in the market, (2) Discussion on the future market and prospective applications, (3) Ongoing work on the R&D labs of some companies, and (4) Compliance with standards. The first part will be delivered during the morning, and the second in the afternoon. Attendees will be able to choose if they want to attend only one or both tutorials.
