Authors must make a good-faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Specifically, the authors should not identify themselves in any content within the paper directly or indirectly (e.g., through references). Where relevant, authors must refer to their previous work in the third person and write as if it were written by a third party. However, authors should ensure that anonymizing their work is not destructive. For instance, the omission of references to papers just because they are the authors' previous work should be avoided, as this could prevent reviewers from finding a related paper for the review. Submissions violating anonymization rules will not be considered for review. Although submission is double-blind, non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other preprint servers) will not lead to the rejection of your paper. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints before completing a first read of your paper, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest. All submissions are required to comply with IEEE WoWMoM guidelines. Initial submissions for review are limited to seven (7) pages (although 6 pages are preferred) formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with a font size of 10 points or greater. Camera-ready papers should not exceed six (6) pages including figures. One of the co-authors must present each accepted paper at the workshop.

The trade-off between availability, resiliency, programmability, and energy efficiency of networks and services is a key challenge for the next decade and monitoring methods and metrics for power consumption, energy efficiency, as well as sustainability are important, as well as benchmarking of solutions based on well-defined KPIs. For that reason, the goal of the GreenNet Workshop is to address emerging concepts and challenges related to energy efficiency and sustainability for networked services. An improved sustainability in all parts of the network in a time of increasing AI/ML usage, evolution of different novel network access technologies, the spreading of edge computing and micro-data centers and the demand in computational and data transport capacity across the edge-cloud continuum is essential.

In all these applications UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Additionally, one or more UAVs can collaborate to provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints need to be considered. For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image, and sound processing. ***TOPICS OF INTEREST*** - Autonomous sensing via UAVs - Topology monitoring with UAVs - Remote sensing networks via UAVs - Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT - Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT - Precision agriculture and UAVs - Crops monitoring in agriculture - Bugs monitoring in agriculture - UAVs for environmental monitoring - Autopilot and UAS autonomy - UAVs path planning and scheduling - Parcel delivery using UAVs - Cellular networks and UAVs - Constrained and multi-objectives problems - Sensors localization with UAVs - UAVs tracking techniques - Cooperative control of multiple UAVs - Cyber-security communications and UAVs - Optimal UAV deployment strategies - Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs - Single UAV applications - Multi-UAV applications - Energy-efficient UAV communications - Machine learning for UAV communications ***IMPORTANT DATES*** Paper Submission: April 5, 2025 Acceptance Notification: May 4, 2025 Camera Ready Deadline: May 9, 2025 We look forward to seeing you at the 7th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in the Internet of Things. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the tciin list, click the following link: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=tciin&A=1

May 19-22, 2025 Datum: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 13:52:42 +0300 Von: Gizem Varkonyi <emergingtechnetwork.publicity(a)GMAIL.COM> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]____ The 10th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2025)____ https://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2025/index.php <https://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2025/index.php> Tampa, Florida, USA. May 19-22, 2025 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Florida West Coast Section____ *_FMEC 2025 CFP:_*____ Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitate the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices.____ Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2025 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2025 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).

As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. DependSys-2025 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to DependSys-2025. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.
