-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Things for Smart and Connected Health Datum: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 19:29:27 +0000 Von: Dalei Wu <daleiwu(a)MIT.EDU> Antwort an: Dalei Wu <daleiwu(a)MIT.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple postings. # CALL FOR PAPERS # IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Internet of Things for Smart and Connected Health A PDF version of this CFP can be downloaded at: <http://iot-journal.weebly.com/uploads/1/8/8/0/18809834/ieee_iot_journal_si_…> A joint publication of IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society # Scope of Special Issue # Smart and connected health (SCH) is the multidisciplinary technology to provide preventive or remote treatments by utilizing digital heath information structure such as body sensor networks and smart techniques such as from Data to Knowledge to Decisions. It will enable preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice by applying diverse Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in sensors, computing, networking and communication, and can allow the individuals to participate in their own care. Future SCH will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual through replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring and assessment. The development of SCH will play a key role in the modern society to meet the broad goals of medical applications. However, significant challenges still remain in the area. For example, lack of medical baseline data for each particular individual. The IoT technology such as continuous sensing mobile communication can be employed to create individualized baselines. The theme of the special issue (SI) is especially focused on the two major aspects of IoT for SCH: (1) monitoring and assisting individuals utilizing smart systems including sensors, devices, and robotics, (2) an interoperable digital health information infrastructure to increase medical/health information availability and use. The outputs of SCH with IoT could significantly improve a person's outcomes and quality of life. Findings from the SI will provide support for enabling IoT to move the focus from disease to health and wellbeing at the individual, system, and organizational level in many SCH applications. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of IoT for SCH. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Digital Health Information Infrastructure for SCH * Healthcare Applications of Body Area Networks * Communication Protocols and Algorithms for SCH * Medical Sensors, Devices and Robotics * Privacy, Security and Trust of Medical Systems * Computer-Aided Diagnosis * Data To Knowledge To Decisions for SCH * Data Visualization and Intelligent Integration for Decision-Making * Mobile Social Sensing for Wireless Health * Bioimaging * Integrated Systems for Telemedicine * Clinical Practice and Technology Development * Cloud-Assisted Medical Cyber-Physical Systems * Body Area Networks for Sports Applications and Systems * Mobile Computing for Smart Health and Well Being * Nano-Scale Communications and Networking for SCH * Smart Health and Big Data * Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Robustness of Healthcare Systems # Important Dates # Submissions Deadline: May 15th, 2014 First Reviews Due: August 15th, 2014 Revision Due: September 15th, 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15th, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: November 30th, 2014 Publication Date: Jan 15th, 2015 # Submission # The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Security for IoT.

Their main goal is to improve the traveler’s safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact. Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities. Moreover, it is foreseen that future smart cities will provide faster and secure emergency service delivery by granting proper traffic privileges to emergency vehicles. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present and discuss their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2014 VTM workshop.

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.

This meeting is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. *Awards* Best presentation will receive an award at the forum. *Format* The forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to 10 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. *Submission* Submissions should consist of the following: An extended abstract of the student's dissertation research (up to 2 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, initial results, and references. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, it is recommended to clearly delineate the student's prior work and cite them; this will help the reviewers and the panel to make better judgment of technical contributions and provide more useful suggestions. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. The submission format should be used by the same format of MobiSys conference. Please visit here<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/submission.php> for detail. Submissions MUST be no more than two (2) pages. This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Please register and submit your paper using the submission system. There may be some travel grants from NSF and SIGMOBILE to attend PhD Forum. Submissions will be handled via email: mobisys14.phd.forum(a)gmail.com If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. *Important Dates* Submission deadline: : March 31, 2014 (11:59 PM PST) Notification deadline: April 17, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Forum Date: June 16, 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers, Computers & Electrical Engineering Journal, Special Issue on "Green Engineering Towards Sustainable Smart Cities" Datum: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:00:46 -0200 Von: Danielo G. Gomes <dgomes(a)GREAT.UFC.BR> Antwort an: Danielo G. Gomes <dgomes(a)GREAT.UFC.BR> Organisation: UFC An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Computers & Electrical Engineering *Special Issue on Green Engineering Towards Sustainable Smart Cities* http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/call-… Since 2007, for the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural areas. By 2030, the world population is expected to be nearly 60% urban, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to 70%, according to the United Nations. With populations growing, cities need to face increasing and critical problems of urban environments. From transportation to green/smart buildings, urban agriculture, environmental monitoring, energy storage and public safety/security, all of these new applications rely on the deployment of smart object networks offering a high degree of scalability, reliability, and security. This is why we believe that current and probable future green engineering challenges in building smarter cities must employ the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm to enable the creation of urban and sustainable cyber-physical systems. *Scope* The scope of this special issue is to explore state-of-the-art research covering a variety of concepts on green engineering in building smart cities in an efficient and sustainable way. Original, unpublished manuscripts in any aspects of Green Engineering and Smart Green Cities (SGC) are welcomed for this special issue. The topics of interest include, but are not limited, to: - Cyber-physical systems for SGC - IP smart objects, green clouds and Sensing as a Service (SaaS) for SGC - IoT architectures and platforms for SGC - IoT privacy, security and trust management in smart green environments - Sensor applications for a SGC (e.g. smart parking, structural health monitoring, traffic congestion, smart street lighting) - Content-Centric Networking in SGC - Electric vehicles, smart grids and microgrids - Energy-aware and green ICT infrastructures for SGC - Energy harvesting, energy saving and carbon footprint reduction - Case studies and innovative applications for SGC - Prototypes, experimental testbeds and simulation environments *Submission details* High quality contributions not yet published and not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed events are sought. Manuscripts should be submitted to the Elsevier Editorial System (http://ees.elsevier.com/compeleceng/). A guide for authors in preparing their papers is available at http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computers-and-electrical-engineering/0045-…. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for this special issue, it is important that authors select *SI-green* as the "Article Type" during the submission process. *Important dates* Manuscript due date: August 15, 2014 First decision notification: November 15, 2014 Revised manuscript due date: December 15, 2014 Final decision notification: January 15, 2015 Final paper due: February 15, 2015 Tentative publication: July 2015 *Guest editors* Danielo G.
