Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Caching (December 1st)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Caching (December 1st) Datum: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 06:20:26 -0500 Von: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, please see the CFP below for a forthcoming JSAC Issue on Caching for Communication Systems and Networks. ------------- The ever-increasing volume of data traffic and the proliferation of services with stringent performance requirements constantly outpace the capacity upgrades in wired and wireless networks, and challenge their performance and their economic viability. At the same time, recent developments, such as the advent of SDN and NFV technologies, the deployment of multi-tier wireless systems, and the novel interplay of caching with physical layer techniques can create novel opportunities for reducing this demand-supply gap. In this new era, it is imperative to systematically revisit the role of caching for a variety of reasons: (i) storage becomes an increasingly low-cost resource, in stark contrast with other resources (e.g., spectrum), and can be embedded in equipment of various form factors in large amounts; (ii) novel network architectures emerge such as 5G+ systems and hybrid wired-wireless designs; (iii) new business models appear with Over-The-Top service providers deploying their own infrastructure or cooperating with network operators; (iv) the needs of users are rapidly changing, consuming huge amounts of content on their mobile devices and generating their own content; (v) social networking platforms are heavily affecting network operation creating additional value but also congestion. Storage and caching can play a fundamental role in this emerging era in communication systems and networks, by increasing the performance of the offered services, reducing operating and capital expenditures, and enabling innovative and game-changing business models. This special issue therefore invites submissions of high-quality original technical and survey papers exploring the role of caching in communication systems and networks, including the following non-exhaustive list of topics: Information-theoretic caching analysis: (i) Fundamental limits of caching; (ii) Coded caching design with practical constraints; (iii) Receiver and source memory-enhanced communications; (iv) Scaling laws of cache networks. Caching in next generation wireless systems: (i) HetNet and device-to-device caching; (ii) Edge caching, cooperation and femtocaching; (iii) Joint caching with scheduling, routing and utility maximisation; (iv) Secure caching, privacy preservation. Content caching and delivery: (i) Design of elastic CDNs; (ii) Algorithms for storage and content placement; (iii) Novel aspects of video caching and streaming; (iv) Caching economics; (v) Caching models for ICN. Data analytics for caching: (i) Analysis of request data, time-varying popularity models; (ii) Popularity estimation and prediction of viral content; (iii) Machine learning and optimisation for popularity incentives; (iv) Interplay of social networks and caching algorithms. ----------------- Authors should submit a PDF version of their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) through EDAS, according to the following schedule: Initial Paper Submission: December 1, 2017 Acceptance notification: March 7, 2018 Final manuscript submission: April 1, 2018 Publication date: Second Quarter 2018 ---------------- Guest Editors Giuseppe Caire Technical University of Berlin, Germany George Iosifidis Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Georgios S.

Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move. This data collection paradigm is often called crowdsensing, or crowdsourcing, and builds upon the willingness of users to share data together, which eventually gets aggregated to provide novel services to the community. Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI and QoE provisioning in pervasive computing and mobile crowdsensing are solicited. Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of QoI and QoE include: Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural principles Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification QoI-aware wireless sensor networking Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing for task mapping and scheduling Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration) Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and QoS QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and evaluation QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Energy efficiency in crowdsensed services and applications Protocols enhancement for crowdsensed services Social Internet of things Big data semantic Data science for crowdsensed services Opportunistic crowdsensed services Rewarding mechanism for crowdsensed services Crowdsensed testbeds and platforms Fog computing for IoT Heterogeneous data aggregation NLP techniques for crowdsensed services Machine learning techniques for data aggregation Machine learning techniques for data classification Privacy for crowdsensed data User behavior classification from public data User activity recognition User profiling Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Fog Computing for Industrial Applications" [Deadline: 30 November] Datum: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 19:15:44 -0800 Von: Chunsheng Zhu <chunsheng.tom.zhu(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Chunsheng Zhu <chunsheng.tom.zhu(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG - Call For Paper - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Fog Computing for Industrial Applications" (http://www.ieee-ies.org/image s/files/tii/ss/2017/CFP-Fog_Computing_for_Industrial_Applica tions_2017-8-10.pdf) - Submission Deadline: 30 November 2017 - Submit manuscript to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii ~ The Theme: Due to the increased number of connected things in industrial applications, the growing volume and velocity of Internet of Things (IoT) data exchange urge for more and more communication resources, leading to the bottleneck in terms of data processing, data latency, and traffic overhead. Fog computing emerges, as an alternative for traditional cloud computing to support geographically distributed, latency sensitive, and QoS-aware IoT applications while reducing the burden of data centers in traditional cloud computing. In particular, fog computing with the features (e.g., low latency, location awareness, and capacity of processing large number of nodes with wireless access) to support heterogeneity and real-time applications is an attractive solution to delay- and resource-constraint large scale industrial applications. However, with the benefits of fog computing, the research challenges arise regarding fog computing for industrial applications. For instance, how to handle different protocols and data format from highly dissimilar data sources in fog layer? How to determine which data should be processed in cloud or be processed in fog layer? How to achieve real-time responses and simultaneous data collection from large heterogeneous sources in industrial applications? Motivated by the above issues, this special section solicits original research and practical contributions which advance the use of fog computing in industries. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. Surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are also considered. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: * Architecture features and evolution for fog computing in industries * Content and service distribution models for fog computing in industries * Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing in industries * Real-time communication interfaces and protocols for fog computing in industries * Energy aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing in industries * Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing in industries * Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing in industries * Security and privacy challenges for fog computing in industries * Testing and evaluation tools for fog computing in industries * Fog computing for real-time monitoring in industries * The future for fog computing in industries: challenges and open issues ~ Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: *http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics <http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics>*.

Starting as a niche application over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor networks, the Internet of Things, cloud networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, underwater and intra-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. Finally, there are many application specific challenges. WONS, now in its fourteenth edition, is a high quality forum to address these challenges. WONS aims to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment.
