In 2018, IoTDI will be held for the third time and topics span the entire ecosystem revolving around IoT, such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, sensor networks, mobile devices, Internet architecture, middleware and numerous IoT applications. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPS Week. Plan to submit your best papers to ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 (deadline 2017/10/6) and see you in Orlando, Florida, in April 2018, where IoTDI will be co-located with IEEE IC2E. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where the networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to this Internet of Things. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on a range of topics related to the Internet of Things. * Analytic foundations and theory of the Internet of Things * Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems * Novel protocols and network abstractions * Data streaming architectures * IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial Internet systems * Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms * Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications * Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends * Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues * Applications and drivers for the Internet of Things * Industrial deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned * Evaluation and testbeds General Chair * Chenyang Lu (Washington University in St. Louis) Program Co-Chairs * Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University of Technology) * Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Steering Committee Co-Chairs * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) * Hui Lei (IBM Watson Health Cloud) Finance Chair * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Publicity Co-Chairs * Simon Duquennoy (Swedish Inst. of Computer Science) * Mo Sha (Binghamton University) * Rui Tan (Nanyang Technological University) Poster Chair * Abusayeed Saifullah (Wayne State University) Demo Chair * Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology) Web Chair * Chao Wang (Washington University in St. Louis) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "census" group.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Access | Convergence of Sensor Networks,Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things Datum: Sun, 6 Aug 2017 10:14:53 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS Submission Deadline: 10 December 2017 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Convergence of Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things. With growing attention from both academia and industry, industrial internet of things (IIoT), comprised of a multitude of connected devices, is supposed to monitor, collect, exchange, analyze, and further instantly act on information to intelligently change the industrial device’s behavior or the industrial environment (e.g., autonomous reaction to unexpected changes in production by effectively detecting failures and triggering maintenance processes). In consideration of this goal, the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT is recently identified as an essential component. Specifically, sensor networks are deployed to capture various data in IIoT. Meanwhile, cloud computing platforms are developed to store and process data powerfully in IIoT. Moreover, big data analytics tools are utilized to glean valuable findings from the massive data in IIoT. However, to integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT in a robust way, there are a lot of tough issues to be solved with respect to various aspects (e.g., framework, power efficiency, security, quality of service, etc.). Therefore, this Special Section in IEEE Access aims to solicit original technical papers with novel contributions on the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT. Review or survey type articles will also be considered. Submissions should focus on the convergence (i.e., the contemporaneous utilization of at least two of the three technologies – sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT). Submissions that work on the experimental implementation of the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT are especially welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data gathering in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Green mechanisms that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data communication in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Security techniques that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data computing in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Quality of service enhancement methods that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data fusion in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Novel applications that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data mining in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CALL FOR PAPERS] Feature Topic in IEEE Communications Magazine, "Multi-Access Mobile Edge Computing for Heterogeneous IoT" Datum: Fri, 4 Aug 2017 02:51:36 -0400 Von: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [CALL FOR PAPERS] Feature Topic in IEEE Communications Magazine, "Multi-Access Mobile Edge Computing for Heterogeneous IoT" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Communications Magazine, Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: Feature Topics in IEEE Communications Magazine, "Multi-Access Mobile Edge Computing for Heterogeneous IoT" This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Communications Magazine at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/multi-access-mobile-edge-computing-heterog… The THEME: --------------- The convergence of mobile internet and wireless systems have witnessed an explosive growth in resource-hungry and computation-intensive services and applications, which cover broad paradigms of so-called heterogeneous Internet of Things (H-IoTs). These systems include real-time video/audio surveillance, remote e-health systems, intelligent transportation systems, and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and etc. Mobile edge computing, by placing various cloud resources (e.g., computational and storage resources) closer to smart devices/objects, has been envisioned as an enabling and highly promising technology to realize and reap the promising benefits of H-IoTs applications. However, the growing demands for ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and high reliability of the large number of H-IoTs applications has yielded a critical issue in mobile edge computing, i.e. the limited connections (such as connection capacity, bandwidth, or the number of simultaneously affordable connections) between mobile edge cloud and smart devices/objects. Multi-access mobile edge computing (MA-MEC), which actively exploits a systematic and adaptive integration of recent radio access technologies including 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi to enhance the access capacity of smart devices to mobile edge platforms, has been considered as a highly promising technology to tackle this issue. The evolution towards the architecture of ultra-dense small-cells in future radio access networks facilitates the MA-MEC, i.e., the densely deployed small cells can significantly improve the capacity and quality of the connections between smart devices and mobile edge cloud. Therefore, with the strength of multi-access for capacity-enhancement, the MA-MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits, such as i) ultra-low latency between smart devices and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications, e.g., the real-time indoor navigation and augmented virtual-reality, ii) privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge! cloud, and iii) big data analytics at the point of capture for IoT applications. However, the success of MA-MEC still requires tackling many new challenges. For instance, to efficiently exploit computation and storage resources at mobile edge nodes, a joint optimization of placement of computation/storage resource and cell-association with radio resource allocation is necessitated. Such joint optimization should be adaptive according to time-varying environments, e.g., the varying wireless channel states when users move across the cells and the dynamic computation/storage resource utilizations. Therefore, this Feature Topic (FT) aims at soliciting high quality and unpublished work regarding recent advances in MA-MEC, with the main focus on addressing the fundamental design issues in MA-MEC, and the emerging paradigms and testbeds that use MA-MEC.

Yet, several studies have shown that smart devices are frequently co-located in proximity to at least one other device throughout the day, suggesting that devices can potentially collaborate to reduce the effort of resource intensive tasks, e.g., sensing, offloading, networking, storage, etc. However, merging the resources of multiple devices to work together is a tough challenge as it requires a common understanding of the context of each device. In addition, since smart devices function in multiple roles, understanding what really constitutes context becomes difficult as different types of contexts need to be modeled depending on the type of task. Context information is critical in multi device setups, e.g., for the formation of collaboration groups, and for negotiating responsibilities between the devices. Any misunderstandings in context can thus be extremely counterproductive for the collaboration between devices. Consider, for example, a computational task, e.g., game puzzle, whose execution can be accelerated by dividing computations between two or more devices. To distribute the task, we first need to understand the processing capacity of each device to ensure devices with insufficient resources are not harnessed for this task as they would turn into bottleneck for execution. By detecting the context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. The goal of PerCrowd 2018 is to explore the impact of context in collaborative and opportunistic computing. More in detail, the goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within a community of devices for optimizing their energy and performance. Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and collaborative self-organization of devices are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware collaborative systems and applications - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications - Opportunistic context modeling - Pervasive computing applications harnessing multiple devices - Data-driven techniques for community formation - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Crowdsensing and crowdsourcing models for data acquisition and fusion - Applications of crowdsensed models, e.g., incentive models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for collaborative systems - Lessons and experiences of evaluating multi device context-aware systems and applications - Emerging applications for multi device environments. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2018 Workshop Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACMIEEE IoTDI 2018 Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 09:05:54 -0400 Von: Mo Sha <gowustl(a)gmail.com> An: Undisclosed recipients <gowustl(a)gmail.com> -- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call -- ================================================================================ Call for Papers ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 http://conferences.computer.org/IoTDI/ Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. ================================================================================ Important (Preliminary) Dates Abstracts due: September 29th, 2017 Full papers due: October 6th, 2017 Author notification: January 15th, 2018 The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2018, IoTDI will be held for the third time and topics span the entire ecosystem revolving around IoT, such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, sensor networks, mobile devices, Internet architecture, middleware and numerous IoT applications. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPS Week. Plan to submit your best papers to ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 (deadline 2017/10/6) and see you in Orlando, Florida, in April 2018, where IoTDI will be co-located with IEEE IC2E. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where the networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to this Internet of Things. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on a range of topics related to the Internet of Things. * Analytic foundations and theory of the Internet of Things * Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems * Novel protocols and network abstractions * Data streaming architectures * IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial Internet systems * Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms * Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications * Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends * Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues * Applications and drivers for the Internet of Things * Industrial deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned * Evaluation and testbeds General Chair * Chenyang Lu (Washington University in St. Louis) Program Co-Chairs * Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University of Technology) * Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Steering Committee Co-Chairs * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) * Hui Lei (IBM Watson Health Cloud) Finance Chair * Tarek Abdelzaher (Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Publicity Co-Chairs * Simon Duquennoy (Swedish Inst. of Computer Science) * Mo Sha (Binghamton University) * Rui Tan (Nanyang Technological University) Poster Chair * Abusayeed Saifullah (Wayne State University) Demo Chair * Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology) Web Chair * Chao Wang (Washington University in St. Louis)

Authors are invited to submit technical demonstrations showing innovative and original research. Proposals (no more than 3 pages) should be submitted via EDAS to the LCN Demo Track, and should describe the scope, significance and required equipment. IEEE LCN is a premier conference on theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking. The proposal should include one page that describes what conference participants will be able to see or experience during the demonstration. The authors are encouraged to highlight the research component of the demo and explicitly mention the novelty of the showcased technology/solution. <https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23387> In general, IEEE LCN is looking for demonstrations in all topics covered by the main conference in addition to all the workshops held in conjunction with LCN 2017. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. Demonstrations will be selected based on the expected interest from the LCN audience. A public's favourite award will be given for the best demo of the session. Please see the LCN 2017 Home and Demonstrations Page for further details and updates. <http://www.ieeelcn.org/> <http://www.ieeelcn.org/Program_demos.html> === Proposal submission === A proposal should include: Scope and significance of the demo and the basic idea that it supports, equipment to be used for the demo, space and setup time needed, and additional facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access. Proposals (no more than 3 pages) can be submitted via EDAS. <https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23387> === Background Information === All demo proposals will be reviewed by the members of the Demo Board via an EDAS score sheet. The scores will be provided to the authors along with the notification. For registration, a demo is not regarded as a paper; a non-author registration is therefore needed for the presenter. For authors of LCN or workshop papers there is no extra charge for a demo. The conference registration will cover the demo. === Demo Board === Demonstration Chair: Adel Ben Mnaouer, Canadian University Dubai * Katrin Reitsma, Motorola Solutions, USA * Karl Andersson, Lule?
