-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - First International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC 2017) [Deadline Extended] Datum: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 09:13:21 -0500 Von: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-postings.] **** WoSC 2017 Workshop **** First International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC) Monday, 5 June 2017, Atlanta, GA, USA. Held in conjunction with 37th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (IEEE ICDCS 2017) http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc17/cfp **************************************** Call For Papers Serverless Computing (Serverless) is emerging as a new and compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and micro services. Many of the major cloud vendors, have released serverless platforms within the last two years, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM OpenWhisk. There is, however, little attention from the research community. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and thoughts on future directions. Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control, cost, and flexibility. For example, this requires developers to more carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute, memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that developers face are the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable, and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear, including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be applied to composition in a serverless environment. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers. The latest version of this CFP is available at http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc17/cfp **************************************** Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in serverless computing.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on Information-Centric Fog Computing (ICFC) at IFIP Networking 2017
by Lars Wolf 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Psaras, Ioannis" <i.psaras(a)UCL.AC.UK> Gesendet: 28. Februar 2017 22:39:33 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on Information-Centric Fog Computing (ICFC) at IFIP Networking 2017 — Note deadline extended to March 13th — ====== Call For Papers ====== Workshop on Information-Centric Fog Computing (ICFC) (in conjunction with IFIP Networking 2017) 12-16 June 2017, Stockholm, Sweden Web: http://networking.ifip.org/2017/index.php/workshops/workshop-on-information… === Overview === Fog Computing aims to support the Internet of Things (IoT) through ultra low latency, ultra fast data processing, high security and reliability and highly efficient resource utilisation. However, the current approaches to Fog/Edge Computing have raised some concerns with respect to privacy; for example, extending CDN DNS redirection and private key delegation models to numerous applications increases the likelihood of exposing the edge to further attacks. There is also the challenge of supporting hierarchical and/or multi-access scenarios that go beyond traditional telco-controlled access provision. Furthermore, providing compute resources at the VM-level of granularity may not be suitable for some lightweight and short-lived functions, especially for IoT. These challenges call for alternative networking models that can support higher fluidity in distributing in-network functions, in addition to allowing fast and scalable processing and exchange of information. Over the recent years, Information-centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a networking paradigm that places information exchange, for the purpose of its processing, in the foreground. ICN brings advantages related to the security, management and dissemination of information, through flexible and information-based routing policies; combining these advantages with the ability to temporarily and spatially decouple communication entities, ICN seems well suited for the Fog Computing paradigm, since computation can happen at the right place any time by virtue of publishing and subscribing to it. This workshop aims at stimulating research focused on the networking models, communication frameworks and security solutions required to facilitate Fog Computing. The research directions will focus on accommodating the requirements of data processing and information networking within emerging, information-focused, networking paradigms such as ICN. This is reflected in a number of aspects, including: enabling short-term content caching, fluid distribution of in-network functions, high-speed data analysis, programmable control and management planes, resiliency and security of fog networks, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, coordinated management, resource consumption, privacy and orchestration of data processing and information production. The outcomes of the workshop should levitate communication frameworks that have the ability to accommodate the immense expansion of business models, applications and services, within future Fog networks. The workshop solicits papers that address aspects of the above areas with a main focus on facilitating networking solutions that enable dynamic and flexible fog networking through joining concepts of softwarisation and virtualisation paradigms for better management and dissemination of information. We encourage papers that address cross-layer research issues in any combination of these areas, bridging the gaps between IoT, Fog/edge Computing, ICN, Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and SDN. === Topics of Interest === The list of topics include (but are not limited to): ● Information-Centric Fog models ● Content and service distribution models in Fog computing ● Caching, replication and relaying models in Information-centric Fog networks ● Dynamic in-network computation, e.g., Named Function Networking ● Implementation insights of Fog & Information-centric Networking architectures ● Virtualisation in Fog systems and Information-centric Networking ● Security and privacy challenges in Fog computing ● Novel compensation models, such as utilising block-chains ● Computation and communication abstractions ● Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for Fog networks ● IoT data storage, analysis and networking in cloud-based ICN ● Programmability in Fog networks ● Fog computing in constrained networks ● Testing and evaluation tools ● Self-organisation/configuration of Fog resources using Information-centric approaches ● Traffic models for Information-centric Fog networks ● Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks used for Fog computing === Important Dates === ● Submission deadline: March 13, 2017 ● Acceptance notification: April 10, 2017 ● Program available online: April 19, 2017 ● Camera ready deadline: April 27, 2017 === Submission Guidelines === All submissions should be written in the English language, with a maximum length limit of 6 printed pages (IEEE two-column format, 10pt), including all the figures, references, and appendices. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IFIP ICFC 2017 and published in the IFIP. Further details on the required paper format, as well as a link to the EDAS submission site can be found at the workshop’s website. === Committees === ++ Workshop Chairs ++ George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business Dirk Trossen, InterDigital Europe Kun Yang, University of Essex ++ Technical Program Chairs ++ Dirk Kutscher, Huawei Ioannis Psaras, University College London ++ Organising Committee ++ Mays AL-Naday, University of Essex Pekka Nikander, Ll co-op, Aalto University Börje Ohlman, Ericsson Research Martin J Reed, University of Essex ++ Technical Program Committee ++ Mohammed AL-Khalidi, University of Essex Mays AL-Naday, University of Essex Shingo Ata, Osaka University Giovanna Carofiglio, Cisco Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University Petri Laari, Ericsson Research Chathura Magurawalage, University of Essex Nicola Blefari Melazzi, University of Rome – Tor Vergata Marc Mosko, PARC Börje Ohlman, Ericsson Research Christos Papadopoulos, Colorado State University Michalis Polychronakis, Stony Brook University Ioannis Psaras, University College London Janne Riihijärvi, RWTH Aachen University Eve Schooler, Intel (US) Nikos Thomos, University of Essex Dirk Trossen, InterDigital Europe Gareth Tyson, Queen Mary University of London Matthias Wählisch, Freie Universität Berlin Cedric Westphal, Huawei (US) Mick Wilson, Fujitsu (UK) George Xylomenos, Athens University of Economics and Business Lixia Zhang, UCLA ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities"
by Lars Wolf 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2017 18:21:11 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:20:47 -0500 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies] --------------------- Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine --------------------- Feature Topic on Imminent Communication Technologies for Smart Communities http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/imminent-communication-technologies-smart-… --------------------- Scope: Most of the research and technological advancements have vitalized the ubiquitous information access and communication around the globe. The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities?

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT"
by Lars Wolf 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Datum: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 21:50:40 +0000 Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Antwort an: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 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".
