-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Gesendet: 21. Februar 2014 06:34:55 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 3rd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS) (apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ========================================= Paper submission deadline on 7 March 2014 ========================================= IoT-SoS 2014 3rd IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2014) Sydney, Australia 16 June 2014 http://www.ieee-wowmom.org/iot-sos/2014 CALL FOR PAPERS The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: 1. Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. 2. The creation of value-added services, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M concepts: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 x 11 inches] in IEEE format).

By predicting and adapting to upcoming events an anticipatory network can highly improve operation quality and efficiency. Driven by the increasing cap- abilities of “smart” handsets as well as by the recent progress in machine learning and context-aware optimization, anticipatory adaptation receives more and more attention by researchers in industry and academia. While early results show the high potential of anticipation for specific scenarios, many theoretical and practical questions remain. This workshop aims to consolidate the view on Anticipatory Networks, to define promising research directions, and to connect researchers in the field. While current research has considered anticipation mostly in a wireless context, we encourage discussions about applications in other systems as well, e.g., data centers and backhauls. Researchers, scientists and engineers from industry and academia are cordially invited to present their work. === Topics === Suggested topics include but are not limited to: * Models, bounds, and techniques for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * Algorithms and protocols for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * System architectures for anticipatory networks, both conceptual and legacy integration * Methods for anticipatory adaptation and optimization, e.g., from machine learning, data mining, optimization, and signal processing * Methods and approaches for predicting channel characteristics, user mobility, user behavior, application demands, and traffic requirements * New uses of Smartphone sensors and network statistics for anticipation and adaptation * Use cases, practical examples, and experimental results for anticipatory net- working === Submission Guideline === Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract with a maximum of 3 pages in IEEE Conference Style, US Letter format. The abstract should be written in English and submitted as a PDF file to <kuvs-anticipatory(a)uni-paderborn.de>.

After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: - Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; - Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: ‐ IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies ‐ IoT systems and components ‐ IoT for semantic web and personalization ‐ Tools for developing IoT applications ‐ Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT ‐ Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT ‐ Security and privacy control mechanisms ‐ Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) ‐ PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications ‐ MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT ‐ Mobility management ‐ Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability ‐ Object, device and service management ‐ RFID, sensors, actuator technologies ‐ Middleware ‐ Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) ‐ Test-beds and field trials ‐ Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145.
