It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today’s smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc. In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: • Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city • Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; • Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; • Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities • Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; • Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; • Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; • Crowd sourcing in smart cities; • IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; • Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; • Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); • Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; • Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; • Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; • Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; • Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management *All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library*. *Submission Instructions*: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of *27th March 2016*.

According to a recent survey published by comScore, the percentage of web traffic coming from mobile devices has surpassed 60% in 2014. To serve users from all over the world, a number of global (or planet-scale) mobile systems and applications have been launched. Several new technologies, such as mobile cloud networking, wearable computing, mobile payment, high-throughput wireless data delivery, and location-based services, have received great attentions. In the meanwhile, by attracting more than one billion users worldwide, online social networks (OSNs) provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, more and more social network systems have expanded to mobile platforms. Not to mention those large-scale mobile-centric social networking systems, such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Momo, Snapchat, Skout and Swarm. For both of the academia and industry, how to utilize the emerging mobile technologies to help people's online social interactions has become a viable trend. The 8th International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale mObile computing and online Social neTworking (HotPOST 2016) is organized with the goal to bring researchers working on the intersection of mobile and OSN together to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and evolution of this area.

At its core, we solicit papers that address important challenges in access/communication, energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing. We strongly encourage papers on emerging mobile/wireless topics including but not limited to next generation (5G) mobile networks, Internet of things, machine-to-machine communications, visible light communication, novel access paradigms/modalities, smart devices, wearable computing, and mobile data science/analysis. We also invite papers that integrate mobile/wireless research with innovations in cloud computing and software defined networking. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. In addition to regular, full research papers, the conference also invites submission in the following categories: Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as description of the practical lessons learned. The experiences papers will be evaluated by the MobiCom technical program committee, primarily for (i) the richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks as well as on the society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is not suitable as an experience paper. The selected experience papers will be a part of the MobiCom technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the f! ull papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Experience:". Challenge Papers The conference also invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom technical program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Challenge:". Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: • Full papers - Maximum of 12 pages excluding references (i.e. submissions may include as many additional pages as needed for references) • Experience/Challenge Papers - Maximum of 8 pages excluding references • Font size no smaller than 10 points • Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column • Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches) • Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any hyper-links. All submitted papers would be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs (at mobicom2016 "dot" tpcchairs "at" gmail "dot" com). Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the presentation. We will also have an award called the Best Community Paper Award.

Best regards, Daniel Corujo +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | - IEEE LANMAN 2016 - | | | | The 22nd IEEE International Symposium on | | Local and Metropolitan Area Networks | | JUNE 13-15, 2016, ROME, ITALY | | http://www.ieee-lanman.org/index.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ IEEE LANMAN has an established tradition as a forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in local and metropolitan area networking. Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking. A further tradition of IEEE LANMAN 2016 consists in identifying, every year, a central theme that is of current interest in our field. This year, the symposium’s central theme is Adaptive, Agile and Fluid networking, a broad topic encompassing autonomic and reconfigurable networking, network function virtualization and software defined networking. This theme reflects recent disruptive innovations in data center networks, enterprise networks, and edge cloud networks. Internet-of-Things is another aspect of the theme to identify new technologies and architectures to support various requirements from different industry sectors, such as smart cities combined with data analytics. The intimate single-track session format of the symposium encourages stimulating exchanges between researchers. The symposium is expected to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on architectures, algorithms, service models, pricing, and performance. Speculative and potentially transformative ideas are particularly encouraged, as are studies reporting measurements from real-life networks and test-beds. Papers are solicited on any LANMAN topic including, but not limited to, the following topics: • Novel data center network architectures, technologies, and protocols • Mobile Edge Computing and architecture innovation • Software defined networking and network function virtualization in the network edge • Name-to-name communications and name-based abstractions • Energy-efficiency, reliability, resource allocation, and pricing in data centers • Wireless access technologies (WiFi, LTE, etc) and their integration in (and extension for) 5G networks • Performance measurement and modeling • Impact of Internet-of-Things and Machine-to-machine communications • Access networks for densely located users • Wired access technologies and architectures including Ethernet in the first mile, EPONs, FTTx, etc. • Network management related to edge networks • Local-area and metropolitan-area network security • LAN-based and MAN-based applications (gaming, distributed computing, media distribution to and in the home, enterprise applications, ambient technology, wearable-computing) Important Dates • Paper Submission deadline: March 7 • Acceptance notification: Apr 19 • Camera-ready Submission: May 2 • Early registration deadline: May 9 • Symposium dates: June 13-15 Committees General Co-chairs Nicola Blefari Melazzi University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy Vishal Misra Columbia University, USA TPC Co-chairs Giuseppe Bianchi University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy Arata Koike NTT R&D, Japan Publicity Chairs Lan Wang University of Memphis Toru Hasegawa Osaka University Daniel Corujo Instituto de Telecomunicacoes, Aveiro Publication Chair Luca Chiaraviglio Universita di Roma La Sapienza Local Coordination and Web Chair Pierpaolo Loreti University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy Steering Committee George Rouskas North Carolina State University Jack Brassil Princeton, National Science Foundation Suresh Subramaniam George Washington University Murat Yuksel University of Nevada, Reno K.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 10:41:22 +0100 Von: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) http://osomi2016.weebly.com/ Scope of the workshop: Mobile networks and mobile ad hoc networks in particular have a long history of research on spontaneously, on-the-fly creating an infrastructure that is suitable for the execution of particular communication tasks. In the past, however, the service to be supported by the network has been considered as something fairly static and simple: unicasting, broadcasting, perhaps geocasting. The state of the art in services, however, moves toward dynamically creating services as necessary, on-demand (consider Network Function Virtualization as an example). For such dynamically, on-the-fly created services, support in fixed networks by dynamically creating infrastructures has received some attention in the recent past. The idea of executing such dynamically configured, dynamically distributed services on a wireless, mobile infrastructure has, however, not been considered in the literature so far. The challenges here are hard: can we reconfigure a wireless network to support a given service layout, e.g., by on-the-fly creation of distributed antenna arrays to span large distances? Can we assign roles of multiple services to different nodes, taking both service and application needs explicitly into account? We welcome submission on the joint creating and management of both the infrastructure and the service, not necessarily limited to wireless or mobile ad hoc networks. Example topics include, but are not limited to: • Reconfigurable services in reconfigurable wireless and mobile networks • Wireless SDN • Distributed applications in mobile networks, e.g., signal processing • Reuse of application building blocks • Role assignment, component placement and scaling, substrate reconfiguration • Multi-tenancy of wireless domains • Network Function Virtualisation applied to wireless processing The workshop is colocated with Mobihoc 2016 ( http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2016/), which takes place in Paderborn, Germany. Important Dates • Submission deadline: 15 of March, 2016 • Authors notification: 1st of May, 2016 • Camera-ready due: 1st of June, 2016 • Workshop date: July 5th, 2016 Submission instructions will be posted on the workshop’s web page.
