-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] ACM CCS Workshop on Cyber Security Analytics and Automation -- CFP Datum: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 07:45:30 +0000 Von: Al-Shaer, Ehab <ealshaer(a)UNCC.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Cyber Security Analytics and Automation – SafeConfig 2014 (Collocated with ACM CCS 2014) The Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, November 3, 2014 IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript Submission: July 18, 2014 Review Notification: August 25, 2014 Camera Ready: September 5, 2014 Conference Dates: November 3, 2014 Ensuring correctness and integrity of system configurations and associated policies are key to proper functioning, accessibility, security, privacy and resilience of modern information systems and services. However, this is a daunting in large enterprise systems that may contain millions of physical and/or virtual components that must be properly configured and secured from unauthorized access. Furthermore, the configuration variables often have explicit or hidden interdependencies that must be understood in order to ensure proper end to end behavior. The new sophisticated cyber security threats demand new security techniques and approaches that offer proactive, intelligent and a holistic security analytics based on analyzing the system artifacts including system traces, configurations, logs, incident reports, alarms and network traffic. Scalable analytics techniques are essential to handle large volumes of data and to normalize, model, integrate, analyze and respond to threats in real time. As the current technology moves toward "smart" cyber infrastructure and open networking platforms (e.g. OpenFlow and virtual computing) and integration of large variety of sensors, the need for large-scale security analytics and automation becomes essential to enable intelligent response, automated defense, and network resilience and agility. This workshop offers a unique opportunity by bringing together researchers from academia, industry as well as government agencies to discuss the challenges listed above, to exchange experiences, and to propose joint plans for promoting research and development in this area. SafeConfig is a one day forum that includes invited talks, technical presentations of peer-reviewed papers, poster/demo sessions, and joint panels on research collaboration. SafeConfig was started in 2009 and has been continuously running since then. It provides a unique forum to explore theoretical foundations, algorithmic advances, modeling, and evaluation of configuration related challenges for large scale cyber and cyber-physical systems. This installment of SafeConfig is being run in conjunction with the CCS (Computing and Communications Security) conference, to be held Nov 3-7, 2014 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications”
by Lars Wolf 30 Jun '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” Datum: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 09:11:34 +0000 Von: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS Feature Topic on “Energy Harvesting Communications” This feature topic will focus on issues related to energy harvesting communications. In particular for wireless sensor networks, because of its ultra-low-power operation, such small, wireless, autonomous sensors can be powered by harvesting ambient power which is scavenged in milli-watts or even micro-watts. If these wireless sensors, which spread throughout a home or factories, in-buildings or even outdoor to monitor all kind of environmental conditions, are powered by energy harvesting, there are no batteries to replace and no labour costs associated with replacing them, in other words, self-sustainable. However, the design of communication systems has to take into account the ﬂuctuating availability of energy sources. For an overview of the state-of-the-art in energy harvesting communications design, and for a relevant example of an IEEE Communications Magazine article's style and content, please refer to "Designing Intelligent Energy Harvesting Communications Systems" by D. Gunduz, K. Stamatiou, N. Michelusi, and M. Zorzi, in IEEE Communications Magazine, pp. 210-216, Jan 2014. In a cellular network, energy harvesting can be used to provide power in many elements of a telecom network, saving considerable costs in electricity supply, and providing low maintenance monitoring. Powering mobile phone base stations with wind or solar power allows telecom networks to expand beyond the limits of the power grid. The possibility of re-distribution of the renewable energy in smart grid allows further efﬁcient utilization, but leads to many challenges as well. Another important focus of this feature topic is on RF energy harvesting. RF energy is currently broadcasted from billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio broadcast stations. The ability to harvest RF energy, from ambient or dedicated sources, enables wireless charging of low-power devices and has signiﬁcant beneﬁts to product design, usability, and reliability. Fundamental practical issues on realizing this ability leads to many interesting research problems. This feature topic will focus on energy harvesting related issues in communications. It will also present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the emerging area of energy harvesting communications. We especially welcome research work that pushes theory to practice, such as theoretical work with emphasis on how to solve a practical problem, experimental work on new systems, and system-level considerations for practical deployment. This feature topic solicits state-of-the-art technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: · Energy harvesting base station, access point, and relay; · Energy-efﬁcient and energy harvesting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications; · Low-power and energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Characterization of light, thermal, wind, motion, and RF energy harvesting; · Communication protocols for wireless charging networks and systems; · Energy harvesting storage and recycling; · Software-deﬁned networking for energy harvesting communications; · Sustainable network architectures using energy harvesting; · Theoretic approaches and design methodologies; · Testbed and experimental validation; · Energy harvesting for rare events sensing; · Event-powered energy harvesting wireless sensor networks; · Energy harvesting for industrial and intelligent systems; · Standardization of energy harvesting communications. Note that articles on green communications that do not directly address energy harvesting will be considered out of scope for this feature topic. Please consider directing such articles to the "Green Communications and Computing Networks" Series of IEEE Communications Magazine. Submission Guidelines Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Submit articles to the "April 2015/Energy Harvesting Communications" category.

A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed nodes with limited resources that can cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions at different locations. Each node is capable of computation, sensing, and communication. Challenges may be exacerbated by the presence of mobile nodes in the network. Such networks may consist of independent and isolated fixed devices that gather environmental data, which may be embedded in urban environments in order to facilitate actuation over managed resources, or may be fixed to and move with the object of interest. Ad hoc networks may exist in environments where there is no pre-existing communications infrastructure, and thereby organize to create their own. Ad hoc networks have been attracting great attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applicati! ons like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. As we move towards a world that connects all things, these issues become ever more relevant. Dynamic topologies, bandwidth constraints, energy constrained operations, wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multi-hop networks. This symposium aims to provide a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. Topics include but are not limited to, > Applications and Evolutions of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks > Implementation Challenges Novel Measurement Techniques Physical Layer > Design of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Frequency and Channel Allocation > Algorithms Topology Control and Management Opportunistic or > delay-tolerant communications Algorithms and Modeling for > Localization, Target Tracking, and Mobility Management Time > Synchronization in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Architectures of Ad Hoc > and Sensor Networks MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks QoS > Provisioning in MAC and Routing for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks > Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Ad Hoc and Sensor > Networks Performance Evaluation and Modeling Integrated Simulation and > Measurement based Evaluation of Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems New > Simulation Languages, Methodologies, and Tools for Wireless Systems > Analysis of Correctness and Efficiency of Protocols Data Management, > Data Aggregation, Data Dissemination, and Query Processing Distributed > Algorithms in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Pricing Modeling and > Solutions Pervasive and Wearable Computing Co-existence Issues of > Hybrid Networks Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Ad Hoc > and Sensor Networks Resource Management Algorithms in Wireless Ad Hoc > and Sensor Networks Real-world Measurements or Test beds Cross-layer > Design and Infrastructure Energy Efficiency Considerations on the > Design or Implementation of Ad Hoc and Sensor Internet of things > Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks Cognition in Wireless Ad Hoc and > Sensor Networks Participatory sensing Crowdsourcing Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/author.htm Direct paper submission weblink of this symposium can be found at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/cfp.htm Symposium Co-chairs -------------------------- Yanmin Zhu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Sensors and Smart Cities (SSC) Workshop, within Smartcomp'14 - submission deadline is July 30 Datum: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 12:34:59 +0000 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it <iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The First International Workshop on Sensors and Smart Cities (SSC 2014) Nov. 5, 2014, Hong Kong http://mdslab.unime.it/scc2014/ To be held in conjunction with 2014 International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2014) http://smartcomp2014.comp.polyu.edu.hk/ SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 30, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS A smart city represents an improvement of today's cities both functionally and structurally, that strategically utilizes many smart factors, such as information and communications technology (ICT), to increase the city's sustainable growth and strengthen city functions, while ensuring citizens' quality of life and health. Cities can be viewed as a microcosm of "objects" with which citizens interact daily: street furniture, public buildings, transportation, monuments, public lighting and much more. Moreover, a continuous monitoring of a city's status occurs through sensors and processors applied within the real-world infrastructure. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept imagines all these objects being "smart", connected to the Internet, and able to communicate with each other and with the external environment, interacting and sharing data and information. Each object in the IoT can be both the collector and distributor of information regarding mobility, energy consumption, air pollu tion as well as potentially offering cultural and tourist information. As a consequence, cyber and real worlds are strongly linked in a smart city. New services can be deployed when needed and evaluation mechanisms will be set up to assess the health and success of a smart city. The aim of this workshop is to bring together innovative developments in areas related to sensors and smart cities, including but not limited to: - computing and sensing infrastructures - cost (of node, energy, development, deployment, maintenance) - communication (security, resilience, low energy) - adaptability (to environment, energy, faults) - data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data) - self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration) - deployment (cost, error prevention, localization) - maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs) - applications (both new and enjoying new life) - smart users experience - trust and privacy - crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, participatory sensing - cognition and awareness - cyber-physical systems Both review articles and original research papers relating to sensors and smart cities are solicited. There is particular interest for papers with advances towards practical experiences and services overcoming the adoption barriers for sensors and smart cities. Best papers presented at the workshop will be selected and proposed to be published in a Special issue of Sensors by MDPI on "Sensors and Smart cities" scheduled for February 2015. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages with a font size of 10 using the IEEE conference template. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers in the conference will be published in the proceedings of the conference and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors are requested to first register their submissions and submit their manuscripts in PDF format via EDAS. Please, note that at least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper.

NetSys is a biennial conference that originates from the major scientific event on networked systems in German-speaking countries KiVS (Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen) – a series of conferences that was initiated 35 years ago. In 2013, NetSys was first organized on international scale in Stuttgart. NetSys is organized by the special interest group “Communication and Distributed Systems” (KUVS), which is anchored both in the German Computer Science society (Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI)) and in the Information Technology society (Informationstechnische Gesellschaft im VDE (ITG)). The conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore (R). NetSys solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific papers presenting novel research on the wide range of networked systems, including but not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols * Transport- and application-layer protocols * Emerging networked applications * Peer-to-peer and overlay networks * Software-defined networking * SOA, Web services, and mobile services * Cloud computing * Virtualization in networked systems * Social networks * Internet of Things * Cyber-physical systems * Smart grid * Cyber security and privacy * Mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular and sensor networks * Middleware architectures and platforms for networked systems * Methods for design, implementation, and analysis of networked systems Separate workshops, tutorials, demonstrator presentations, and a doctoral forum will complement the technical sessions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP from ACM TOMM (formerly known as TOMCCAP): Special Issue on Smartphone-based Interactive Technologies, Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:34:35 -0400 Von: Prof. James She <eejames(a)UST.HK> Antwort an: Prof. James She <eejames(a)UST.HK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Call for Papers] ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications (TOMM, formerly known as TOMCCAP) Special Issues on Smartphone-based Interactive Technologies, Systems and Applications http://smedia.ust.hk/cfp/tomm/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [IMPORTANT DATES ] Paper Submission: Dec. 18, 2014 1st Decision: Feb. 18, 2015 2nd Decision: May 18, 2015 Notification of Acceptance: Jun. 18, 2015 Camera-ready Paper: Jul. 1, 2015 Publication Date: Oct 1, 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [OVERVIEW] Smartphones (or smart mobile devices) have now truly become a ubiquitous computing device, a computer that the late Mark Weiser envisioned in his ubiquitous computing manifesto. Many applications that could only have been dreamed of, have now become a reality due to the improving computing, sensing, display and networking capabilities of smartphones. With applications ranging from productivity, entertainment, enterprise, social networking, communications and mixed reality, the smartphone is the ※swiss army knife§ of it all. However, there are still many untapped elements and unlimited possibilities that smartphones can provide next-generation interactive systems with more intuitive and intelligent functions and applications that have not been explored much in detail, especially through the use of computing, sensing and mobile capabilities of the smartphones. Making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, new cyber-physical interactive technologies and systems can be designed and integrated to create novel functionalities, methods and intelligences to interact with humans for better social experiences, and more intelligent services and creative applications, such as recommender systems, advertising platforms, gaming applications that are interactive to the user smartphones on the spot in a physical environment and situation. This special issue of ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications provides an opportunity to attract and bring together mobile computing, cyber-physical systems, ubiquitous computing, social computing, wireless networking and multimedia communications researchers along with user interface designers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds to contribute papers on theoretical, practical, and methodological issues on next-generation interactive technologies, systems and applications using smartphones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [TOPICS] Topics may include (but are not limited to): - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones - Social computing with smartphones for interactive media - Cloud computing on smartphones for multimedia - Cyber-physical interactive media systems using smartphones - Augmented-reality interactive media on smartphones - Ubiquitous media networking with smartphones and environments - Cyber-physical sensing with media applications in smartphones - Mining cyber-physical world for interactive media using smartphones - Integrating social context and social media through smartphones - Case studies of novel interactive media applications and services using smartphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SUBMISSION DETAILS] Manuscripts should be submitted through ManuscriptCentral (at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tomm) by selecting the Manuscript Type "Smartphone-based Interactive Technologies, Systems and Applications". Submissions should contain original material that has not been previously published and is not currently under review by another journal. Published conference papers must be technically extended with the requirements specified in TOMM. For details about the formats, re-submission and other requirements, please refer to the authors guide at the journal website at http://tomm.acm.org/guide.html.
