The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new research opportunities for the indoor localization area, where no accepted standards exist yet. IPIN 2017 Indoor Localization Competition will consist of several tracks, including on-site and off-site contests. Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference and prizes will be awarded to the winners. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions based on EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method (http://evaal.aaloa.org). Competition Tracks ------------------ Track 1: Smartphone-based Track 2: Pedestrian dead reckoning Track 3: Smartphone-based (off-site) Track 4: PDR for warehouse picking (off-site) Track 1 "Smartphone-based": A pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings carries a smartphone which runs the competing system, without any external aid, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position in real time. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by KICS (KR) Track 2: "Pedestrian dead reckoning": The competing system uses MEMS sensors (inertial, compass and altimeter pressure sensors) mounted on the body to localize a pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings; control and monitoring devices such as a notebook are carried by the user. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by ETRI (KR) Track 3: "Smartphone-based (off-site)": The goal is to localize a pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in multi-floor buildings using data provided by a conventional smartphone (WiFi, inertial, magnetic, GPS, pressure, light, ...). Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using a ground truth reference database, and compete using new unreferenced data. Prize: to be defined Track 4: "PDR for warehouse picking (off-site)": Data from inertial, pressure and magnetic sensors and BLE data from a smartphone plus picking records from a warehouse management system (WMS) are collected during 3 hours of actual picking work by 8 people carrying a smartphone on their back in a warehouse, with actions including walking, picking and carrying. Competitors obtain sample data and test data to calibrate their algorithms, and compete using separate actual data. Prize: 150,000 JPY or more worth prize awarded by PDR benchmark standardization committee (JP) Technical Competition Details ----------------------------- The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules to follow and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Announcements and possible refinements of the annexes, also based on candidate competitors' comments, will be timely distributed on the competition discussion mailing list <contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org> and will appear on the IPIN web site. Maps of the competition area and all the relative information will be provided by the end of April. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition will be announced during the conference. Competitor Admission Process ---------------------------- A "competitor" can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) "technical description" of their localization system, including a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register to the IPIN conference, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process (allocated time, support and space) and the submission of a paper describing the system. Competitors are required to make an oral presentation of their system during a dedicated session at the IPIN conference. Additionally, competitor teams are invited, but not required, to submit a paper to the conference. The paper will follow the same peer review and publishing process as all the other papers submitted to IPIN. If the paper is work-in-progress, competitors can benefit from relaxed deadline as specified below. Competitors who wish to test their system, but do not want to be included in the public rankings and compared with other competitors, can ask for that special condition in advance to the chairs of the relevant track. Important dates --------------- Technical description: 15 July 2017 Notification of admission: shortly after request Regular paper submission: same as conference Work-in-progress submission: 10 September 2017 Off-site results (track 3): 22 September 2017 Off-site results (track 4): 8 September 2017 Organizing Committee -------------------- General Chairs Francesco Potortì (CNR, Italy) <Potorti(a)isti.cnr.it> Nobuo Kawaguchi (Nagoya University, Japan) <kawaguti(a)nagoya-u.jp> Sangjoon Park (ETRI, South Korea) <sangjoon(a)etri.re.kr> Track 1 chairs: Filippo Palumbo (CNR, IT) Antonino Crivello (CNR, IT) Track 2 chairs: Soyeon Lee (ETRI, KR) Jaehyun Lim (ETRI, KR) Track 3 chairs: Joaquín Torres (Universitat Castellon, ES) Antonio R.

Datum: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 10:42:58 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things (VLIoT 2017) In conjunction with VLDB 2017 August 28, 2017, Munich, Germany Submission: April 17, 2017 - Submission deadline has been extended! Web: http://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/vliot ******************************************************************** ** Aims of the Workshop ** An increasing number of real-world objects are becoming accessible and manageable through the Internet. According to CISCO, the number of these devices will reach 50 billion by 2020, forming a very large Internet of Things (VLIoT). This massive number of "smart" objects will cooperate with each other, have their own metadata, and may continuously produce new data (in form of events, sensor data, or actuator states). Data management will be a major challenge in the very large Internet of Things. Hence, efficient IoT infrastructure and technologies must be developed to handle masses of IoT data with high performance. This will include: new techniques to filter and store relevant data; efficient replication approaches for objects with constrained resources in order to increase availability and durability; new protocols for voting about decisions among objects; and smooth integration of heterogeneous objects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working in the field of IoT and to allow them to report and exchange their findings addressing these challenges. This workshop also intends to discuss other closely-related technologies such as Nanotechnology, Fog-, Edge-, and Dew-Computing for IoT. The ideas of Fog, Edge and Dew Computing may indeed solve or attenuate the problems of a very large Internet of Things (w.r.t. performance, energy-efficiency, as well as security and privacy aspects). ** Types of Papers ** The workshop welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experience. In particular, we solicit papers of different types: - Research Papers proposing new approaches, theories or techniques related to Internet of Things, including new data structures, algorithms, whole systems, and frameworks. They should make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. - Experiments and Analysis Papers focusing on the experimental evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and algorithms for Internet of Things and bring new insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of experiments and analysis papers can be, for example, showing benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments, opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an experimental survey. - Application Papers reporting practical experiences on Internet of Things applications. Application papers might describe specific application domains in the IoT such as smart homes/offices/cities, continuous health care, waste management, emergency response, intelligent response, and Industry 4.0. - Vision Papers identifying emerging or future research issues and directions, and describing new research visions in the IoT area that may have a great impact on our society. ** Topics of Interest ** We welcome papers on the following and other relevant topics: - Semantic IoT - Privacy-by-design and security-by-design in IoT - System architectures for IoT, e.g. - things-centric, - data-centric, - event-centric, and - service-centric. - IoT applications including: - smart homes/offices/cities, - waste management, - health care, - emergency response, and - intelligent shopping. - Nano Technology including: - Nano Networks, - Nano communication, - Nano applications, - Nano computing, and - Internet of Nano Things. - IoT programming toolkits and frameworks - IoT prototypes and evaluation test-beds - IoT data mining and analytics - IoT management and interoperability - Management of IoT streams - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT - Spatial and temporal reasoning for IoT - Sustainability of IoT platforms, e.g. business models for deployment and maintenance - Societal challenges and IoT, e.g. urban planning and decision making tools - Ownership of data in IoT scenarios - Fog, Edge and Dew Computing for IoT - IoT benchmarks and performance measurement - Indexing and search in IoT environments - IoT transactions, concurrency control and recovery - Hardware accelerators and energy savers for IoT applications and core infrastructure - IoT discovery of devices, services and data ** Workshop Chairs ** - Sven Groppe, University of Lübeck, Germany - Carlo Alberto Boano, Graz University of Technology, Austria ******************************************************************** -- .................................................

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Gesendet: 3. April 2017 09:41:29 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME -------------- Ever-growing volume of data and information is being captured from systems, machines and devices and made available to IT systems. The information is processed on-the-fly enabling IT-based management systems to make decisions for real-time control of the manufacturing process. This data capturing and collection for IT systems is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). When adopted to the industrial automation systems where robustness, reliability, security and latency and jitters are highly desired performance requirements, it is often called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial communication systems today primarily consist of legacy systems such as HART, Foundation FIELDBUS, CAN and Profibus - well-working and established industry-specific networks installed in millions of systems. In the last decades, there has been a push for IP-based technology which has made Ethernet become a popular communication infrastructure. But to meet the stringent timing requirements of industrial applications, it has been necessary to implement real-time functionality. The communication plays a central role for the availability of all relevant information in real-time. Furthermore, it is indisputable that the mobility of objects involved in the production as well as the necessary flexibility of the production require wireless communication systems. The need for wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications. In order to fully exploit the potentials offered by wireless communication for monitoring, control and automation applications, there is a further need for time-constrained communication protocols that provide bounded latency together with high reliability or energy efficiency. In addition, wireless automation applications need to interact with legacy wired communications systems and provide equivalent levels of security and dependability. Furthermore, industrial settings are highly dynamic environments which call for the ability to adapt to changes in the operating conditions while still not violating the time-constraints of the applications. Given the above scenarios, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains, namely from factory automation to industrial process monitoring and control, from traffic, environmental, building and structural monitoring to mobile robotics, from vehicular communication to energy management and healthcare applications. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. The goal of this special section is to attract papers addressing the main research issues in design, development, adoption and applications of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Industrial Internet-of-Things. IIoT provides a great opportunity to new gains in flexibility and productivity but also challenges as to how to merge existing installations to these new technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture and protocol design for industrial IoT systems * 5G for future industrial automation * Security, safety and privacy issues in industrial wireless networks and applications * Deployment, integration and case studies of IWSN and IIoT * Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of industrial IoT systems * Embedded industrial IoT applications * Intelligent M2M Communications in industrial IoT * Cognitive IIoT * Cloud-based IIoT solutions The use of information technology also opens up new application areas for automation systems. Examples include but are not limited to: * Smart Manufacturing and Web-of-Things in the factory line * Process, Factory, Home and Building Automation * Smart grids / Smart metering * Industrial Robotics and Automation * Smart and Connected Health MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION --------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii. On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial Internet-of-Things".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM SenSys 2017: Call for Papers (updated) Datum: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:51:51 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -=* The 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) *=- Call for Papers To help prospective authors concentrate their efforts on one paper at a time, the abstract registration and submission deadline for “new directions” papers is shifted by three weeks. Check below the new dates. Sensors have become an essential part of computing systems and applications. Computing today is increasingly characterised by ubiquitous, information-rich sensors that produce massive quantities of data about the physical world. This new era of computing is driving important new systems issues, and requires new system-level approaches and design principles. The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2017) is a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design, implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as sensor-enabled smart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and applications. ACM SenSys is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. The conference takes a broad view on the areas of computing that are relevant to the future of sensor systems, and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * New platforms and hardware designs for sensor-enabled systems * Systems software, including operating systems and network stacks * Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management * Applications and deployment experiences * Protocols for sensing devices and their connection to the Internet * Mobile and pervasive systems, including personal wearable devices and robots * Sensing, actuation, and control * Key system services such as time and location estimation * Data management, including quality, integrity, and trustworthiness * Learning, adaptation, and autonomy in cyber physical systems * Fault-tolerance and reliability * Heterogeneous multi-agent sensing, including human-robot sensor systems * Security and privacy of sensor-enabled computer systems We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative sensor systems. Successful submissions will explain why the topic is relevant to a vision of the future of sensing systems. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of the their own. Ethical approval for experiments with human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission. In addition to regular papers around the topics above, ACM SenSys this year solicits new directions papers discussing the future of sensor-enabled computer systems. New direction papers shall present a compelling vision of the field five years from now, discuss what current or foreseeable technologies hold the highest potential within this time frame, and argue on what are the key research problems the community needs to tackle right now to eventually realize this vision. New direction papers will be reviewed separately by the SenSys steering committee. Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings, alongside regular papers, and their authors will be invited to a panel session, together with leading experts, to share their vision. "New directions" papers are required to follow the same submission guidelines, but be limited to 6 pages everything included. Submission Guidelines Submissions must be full papers, at most 12 single-spaced 8.5” x 11” pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point (tight single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7” wide x 9” deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25”. Submissions may include as many pages as needed for references. The review process is double-blind. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Prior works of their own must be discussed by referring to the authors in third person. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be reviewed. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library at least one week before the conference. Important Dates Regular papers: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 3, 2017, AOE. Paper Submission Deadline: April 10, 2017, AOE. “New directions” papers: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 24, 2017, AOE. Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2017, AOE. Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 17, 2017. Note: These are hard deadlines. No extension will be granted.
