Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence and sensors to perform required operations. They must be able to wirelessly communicate with other nodes or remote centre in their network, exchanging information and receiving instructions in a reliable and secure way. They must be autonomous, capable of managing the energy resources in order to extend their lifetime span. Considered objects may include everything from lightweight sensors to smart-gadgets like smartphones and wearable devices. The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. But even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings. The SMARTOBJECTS workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena. Topics: ======= • App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms • Communication between mobile devices and cars • Communication for drone coordination • Content Distribution • Data collection, organization and dissemination methods • Data replication protocols in network partitions • Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches • Deployment and field testing • Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Human-object interaction • Innovative services and applications for mobile devices in vehicles • Location- and track-based services in cars • Mobile service architectures and frameworks • Mobility and handover management • New application scenarios for vehicular communications • Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT • Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices • Privacy issues and solutions • Protocol design, testing and verification • Security issues, architectures and solutions • Sensor-networks in vehicles • Sensors & Data Collection • Smart cities and urban applications • Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones/UAVs • Swarm movement, coordination, and behaviour • Wireless in-vehicle networks Papers Submission Instructions: =============================== SMARTOBJECTS invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. The workshop will accept full paper, poster, and demo submissions. All submissions must be provided in PDF format, and follow the formatting guidelines of MobiCom 2015. Full papers must be no longer than 6 pages, poster and demonstration papers are limited to 2 pages; they will all appear in the proceedings.

To ignite discussions, we see two (rather obvious) topics, that we think are important and interesting: 1) considering all the public personal data by all sorts of people, we wonder how good */inference attacks/* can actually get, even on people who don't publish (a lot of) information about themselves - directly related of course is the question, if we can find new */privacy metrics,/* and - if there are ways to encounter such attacks, without diminishing the utility for the users (too much). And 2) on a related note we want to further explore ideas towards */privacy-preserving recommenders/*. We will organize this event as a "traditional" scientific workshop soliciting submissions, which will be reviewed and subsequently published, to make it easier for the academic audiences to convince their funding entity of its importance ;-) - but we really mainly want to engage in discussions, may be fostering some future collaborations, as well. I'm attaching the usual Call for Papers - and I hope, of course, that we will receive some interesting submissions (to make the official part interesting - so help in advertising is appreciated). We will accept both novel scientific contributions, but also datasets and replication studies. But most importantly, we hope to attract a broad audience of interested participants from different professional backgrounds, to facilitate great discussions! Thanks a lot!
