-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Theofanis Raptis <theofanis.raptis(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Gesendet: 16. September 2018 16:48:34 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Access Journal Special Section on Wirelessly Powered Networks (deadline 30 September) IEEE Access Journal - Impact Factor (2017): 3.557 Special Section on Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies Submission Deadline: 30 September 2018 Submit manuscript to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-access IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is, by definition, a process that occurs in any system where electrical energy is transmitted from a power source to a load without the connection of electrical conductors. WPT is the driving technology that will enable the next stage in the current consumer electronics revolution, including battery-less sensors, passive RF identification (RFID), passive wireless sensors, the Internet of Things and 5G, and machine-to-machine solutions. WPT-enabled devices can be powered by harvesting energy from the surroundings, including electromagnetic (EM) energy, leading to a new communication networks paradigm, the Wirelessly Powered Networks. While recent advances in wireless utensils appear to be unlimited, the dependence of their operation on batteries remains a weakness, mainly because batteries come with a limited lifetime and require a fast charge time to achieve continuous operation. This is where the technologies of WPT become useful, bringing together wireless energy and data transmission. WPT technologies substitute the traditional powering concept, where a cable or a battery is connected to the wireless device, by the transmission of energy over the air in an efficient way to power-up the device. Wirelessly Powered Networks have recently evolved into a very active research field, as well as a topic of rapid technological progress, emerging practical developments and standardization activities. However, a solid foundational, technological, and applied background is still necessary for Wirelessly Powered Networks to achieve their full potential. The provisioning of relevant technological models, algorithmic design and analysis methods, networking principles, circuit and system design, and application methodologies is a challenging task. This Special Section in IEEE Access invites academic and industrial experts to make their contributions on Wirelessly Powered Networks. It will selectively span a coherent, large spectrum of fundamental aspects of WPT, and will focus on three main thematic pillars and relevant themes: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Algorithms - Optimization and approximation algorithms (mobility/energy/data management) - Joint operation scheduling (routing, data gathering, ambient harvesting) - Precise algorithmic models and efficient distributed protocols - WPT devices deployment - Safety provisioning through EM radiation control algorithms - Peer-to-peer and crowd charging algorithms - Algorithms for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) Applications - Medical implants and wearable devices - Automotive technology and electric vehicles - Mobile communications, wireless sensor networks and UAVs - Spacecraft engineering - Home/Industrial appliances - Standardization, regulations and biological effects - Solutions for SWIPT Technologies - RF energy harvesting, rectennas and rectenna arrays - High-frequency rectifying circuits, power transmitters and devices - Near-field (inductive, resonant) energy transfer - Microwave transmission and beaming - Novel materials, fabrication techniques - Energy storage elements, RFID-related electronics and self-powered sensors - Measurement and characterization approaches for WPT components We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

Link to the CfP: https://tcps.acm.org/special_issue_selfaware.cfm <https://www.organic-computing.de/mailster/4002/14ac907ebe6aecff1f534ba5f670…> The deadline for manuscript submissions is *October 19, 2018*. Best regards, Anthony Stein ------------------ *Call for Papers: Special Issue on Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems* Inspired by biological examples, self-awareness has become a hot research topic in a variety of disciplines and its applicability has been explored in various application domains. The topic owes its attractiveness to its promise to facilitate highly resilient, adaptive and outstandingly efficient behaviors. Thus, self-awareness holds the promise to promote dependability in all types of smart gadgets and artificial agents in the interconnected world of future. However, the challenges raised by these new promising features are also significant, not least because they have a profound impact on the way we design, validate and test incorporating self-awareness. If a system smartly adapts to changing needs and environment, how do we validate its functionality at design time? How do we specify the correct functionality in the first place? What are the relevant trade-offs? How can we quantify uncertainties and variabilities in a meaningful way to deal with them in the design process? These are only some of the pressing questions that have to be addressed before these new features can be exploited. The ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems seeks original manuscripts for a special issue on “Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems” which will cover recent development on methods, architecture, design, validation and application of resource-constrained cyber-physical systems that exhibit a degree of self-awareness. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* • Self-monitoring and self-assessment of distributed CPS • Reliability, safety and security in CPS based on self-awareness • Ongoing learning, reasoning, self-modelling and knowledge management, at run-time • Resource management based on self-awareness in distributed CPS • Robust control for resource management and self-awareness • Applications for self-aware CPS *Submission Guidelines:* Authors should submit their journal version at Manuscript Central adhering to the formatting instructions on the TCPS Web page, and indicate that you are submitting to the Special Issue on Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems” on the first page and in the field “Author's Cover Letter:” in Manuscript Central).

All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. We will consider three different categories of papers: - *Full papers* should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. - *Short papers *should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. - *Posters* are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2018 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the conference website. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section in IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics - Security, Privacy, and Trust for Industrial Internet of Things Datum: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 13:23:56 +0000 Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Antwort an: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Special Section in IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics (Journal Impact Factor: 5.430): "Security, Privacy, and Trust for Industrial Internet of Things" The Theme: Internet of Things (IoT) is heterogeneous networks provide ingenious services and applications in several fields, adopting IoT in the industry awards the Industrial IoT (IIoT) technology. IIoT has come to be an extensive trend in the business and commerce development as it helps organizations to attain extreme achievements with reduced expenses. However and regrettably the promising IIoT technology lacks of many security measures that make it vulnerable to many sorts of cyberattacks, for example and not limited to, node capture, side-channel analysis, eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle and distributed denial of service attacks. Moreover, the IIoT networks need challenging requirements to achieve the desired security and reliability. Unfortunately, traditional security solutions and even regular IoT solution cannot address the Industrial IoT security flaws due to the different nature of the IIoT. An integral part of IIoT is the Operational Technologies (OT), such as SCADA, needs to have a deep security examination. Present SCADA technology are distributed and networked over open internet protocols, which make it susceptible to cyber-attacks, an enhancement of the Modbus, Profibus, Fieldbus, and Hart protocols with digital authentication should promise, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and dynamic group management for OT. IIoT context has precise necessities when it comes to security and reliability, such as; i) Bounded and fast response is required to attain the business continuity. ii) Reliability, unlike the regular IoT that operates in domestic areas, Industrial IoT systems operate in hazardous areas with safety implications that may threaten lives. iii) Scalability is needed to, dynamically and remotely, add and revoke sensor nodes efficiently. iv) Power consumption is very important factor to be carefully considered especially with ambient power and battery-driven devices. v) Security is a serious issue for all sensory applications; however, industrial usages need more robust and reliable procedures due to their safety implications. All these constrains must be considered during the security protocols design process. As encryption is the cornerstone of information security, authenticated encryption has been getting a lot of attention in the IIoT context to attain integrity and confidentiality. Fast and lightweight encryption plays a great role in achieving the adapted security and privacy for IIoT; however, lightweight encryption still needs to study new techniques, which must be formally verified over the modern cryptography. On the other hand, key management in terms of authenticated key agreement with key confirmation (AKC) protocols need to be obtainable in a new customization for the IIoT context to consider fast rekeying and nodes addition and revocation. This Special Section aims to attract pioneer and novel work of Security, Privacy, and Trust for the Industrial Internet of Things including novel and innovative security mechanisms that are resilient to the current Industrial IoT cyberattacks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Ø Lightweight encryption protocols for IIoT Ø Key management protocols for IIoT Ø Mutual authentication protocols for IIoT Ø Privacy and security protocols for IIoT Ø Cyberattacks detection and prevention for IIoT Ø Threat models and attack scenarios for IIoT Ø Security solutions complexity for IIoT Ø Authorization, authentication, and access control in IIoT Ø Secure M2M communications in IIoT Ø Operational technologies (OT) security and privacy in the IIoT context Ø Secure smart grids in the IIoT context Ø Applied cryptographic solution for the IIoT context Ø Crypto analysis and enhancement for current IIoT security solutions Ø Malware and intrusion detection for IIoT Ø Hardware and embedded security for IIoT Ø SCADA-security Manuscript Preparation and Submission Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

By detecting the multi-device context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing computational tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. The impact of multi-device computing has found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as continuous multi-device experience for users, formation of proximal infrastructure at the edge network, multi-device remote control systems, multi-device sensing and multi-device autonomous interactions, among others. The goal of PerCrowd 2019 is to explore the impact of multi-device context in self-organizing and opportunistic computing. More in detail, The goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within communities of devices for improving their energy consumption and performance. Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and self-organizing multi-device communities are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware multi-device systems and applications, e.g., multi-device sensing, sampling and computation - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications, e.g., screen sharing, multi-device interfaces and multi-device control systems - Opportunistic multi-device context modeling via crowdsensing - Algorithms to reduce task complexity via optimal distribution in multi-device setups - Pervasive computing applications harnessing opportunistic multi-device formation, e.g., location, proximity, underutilized times, etc. - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Usage models for multi-device computing, e.g., incentive models, stability models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Users experiences towards multi-device systems and applications - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for multi-device systems, as well as, emerging applications for multi-device environments. - Integration of multi-device systems on the move with proximal infrastructure, e.g., Edge, Cloudlet and Fog - Lessons and experiences of evaluating context-awareness for multi-device systems and applications PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere.

The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. We will consider three different categories of papers: - *Full papers* should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. - *Short papers *should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. - *Posters* are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2018 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the conference website. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. *Important Dates* ------------------------------------------------- Full/short paper submission deadline:September 07, 2018 Demo/Poster paper Submission Deadline:September 07, 2018 Acceptance notification:October 12, 2018 Camera ready paper due:October 26, 2018 *Organization Committee*-------------------------------------------------General Co-Chairs Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Onur Altintas, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA TPC Co-Chairs Kate Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Mate Boban, Huawei European Research Center, Germany Local Arrangement Co-Chairs Shin-Ming Cheng, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan Shih-Hao Chang, Tamkang University, Taiwan Publication Co-Chairs Chih-Yu Wang, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Taylan Sahin, Technical University of Munich, Germany Publicity Co-Chairs Sinem Coleri Ergen, Koc University, Turkey Lin Cheng, Trinity College, USA Chenren Xu, Peking University, China Poster/Demo Co-Chairs Hsu-Chun Hsiao, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Ashwin Ashok, Georgia State University, USA App Contest Co-Chairs Chuang-Wen You, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Yi-Chao Chen, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Yuan-Chi Tseng, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Web Chair Wen-Hsuan Shen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Steering Committee Onur Altintas, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA Wai Chen, China Mobile Research Institute, China Falko Dressler, University of Paderborn, Germany Geert Heijenk, University of Twente, The Netherlands Thomas Luckenbach, FOKUS, Germany Hyun Seo Oh, ETRI, South Korea Umit Ozguner, Ohio State University, USA Tadao Saito, Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo, Japan -- Sinem Coleri Ergen Associate Professor, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Director, Wireless Networks Laboratory Koc University, Sariyer, Istanbul, 34450 email: sergen(a)ku.edu.tr webpage: http://home.ku.edu.tr/~sergen/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/index.html Die Nutzung von Rechnern, Smartphones und entsprechender Kommunikationstechnik ist für die meisten Menschen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft Teil des Alltags geworden. Aber auch mehr und mehr Gegenstände können kommunizieren, Informationen bereitstellen oder gesteuert werden. In Sensornetzen, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical-Networks, ... kommunizieren nun Geräte verschiedenster Art und für verschiedenste Zwecke miteinander. In manchen Szenarien werden von Sensoren Daten gesammelt und an zentrale Stellen zur Weiterverarbeitung, Speicherung sowie Entscheidungsfindung übertragen. Bei Einsatz von Aktorik können dann auch Regelschleifen geschlossen werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden verschiedenste Techniken für die Sensorik, für die Kommunikation, für die Verarbeitung, für die Speicherung etc. Auch wenn schon seit etliche Jahren umfangreiche Forschungen in diesem Umfeld erfolgten, gibt es nach wie vor vielfältige offene Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Zudem bestehen sehr breite und unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche, die oftmals spezielle Anforderungen an alle einzelnen Komponenten stellen. So sind die Anforderungen zwischen Szenarien bspw. für Smart Farming, für Industrieanlagen oder für Smart Cities sehr unterschiedlich. Das Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist der informelle Gedankenaustausch für Wissenschaftler aus Forschung und Industrie sowie die Stärkung von Kooperationen in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich. Im Rahmen des bereits 17. Fachgesprächs soll daher die Diskussion gegenüber der Vortragspräsentation im Vordergrund stehen.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mihalis Psarakis <mpsarak(a)UNIPI.GR> Gesendet: 21. August 2018 17:39:58 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on "Secure Embedded IoT Devices for Resilient Critical Infrastructures" *** Apologies for multiple copies *** ============================================================================ ==== C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue: Secure Embedded IoT Devices for Resilient Critical Infrastructures URL: http://ieee-iotj.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/CFP-SI-Secure-Embedded-IoT-D evices-for-Resilient-CIs.pdf ============================================================================ ==== The Internet of Things (IoT) opens the door to new technological opportunities for a wide range of applications that cover e-health, smart homes and automation, e-commerce, location-based services, smart vehicles, fleet management and remote system monitoring. However, at the same time as these technological opportunities grow so does the threat surface for potential adversaries targeting at various, interconnected ICT systems and consequently at ICT-dependent critical systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) systems. At this point, attackers could take advantage from the incorporation of the paradigm to exploit new security gaps, probably caused by unforeseen interoperability and adaptability problems. Indeed, the deployment of Internet-enabled embedded devices that are distributed over major critical domains, may create indirect and non-obvious inter-connections with the underlying Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Examples of such inter-connected systems may include traffic monitoring and control systems communicating with smart vehicles, energy related systems communicating with smart homes and smart meters, monitoring systems connected with autonomous sensors in nuclear plants, power grids and body area networks. There is a need to further explore the security issues related to IoT technologies to assure the resilience of CIs against advanced IoT-based attacks. The goal of this special issue is therefore to address the diverse security challenges and related to IoT-enabled CIs (IoT-CIs) and their resilience to advanced threats. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Security analysis and requirements in the coupling of IoT-CIs * Vulnerabilities, threat models and risk management in IoT-CIs * Reference architectures for the secure coupling of IoT in CI scenarios * Embedded security for mobile devices and BYOD * Network-layer attacks and defense mechanisms between IoT devices and CIs * Key management and access control in IoT-CIs * Resilience models for advanced threats in IoT-CIs * Advanced and lightweight awareness models for large IoT-CIs * Privacy and location privacy for IoT-CIs ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2018 * First Reviews Due: December 15, 2018 * Revision Due: January 15, 2019 * Second Reviews Due/Notification: Feb. 15, 2019 * Final Manuscript Due: March 15, 2019 * Publication Date: 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Felix Büsching Call for DEMOS 17. GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/cfd.html Die Nutzung von Rechnern, Smartphones und entsprechender Kommunikationstechnik ist für die meisten Menschen unserer heutigen Gesellschaft Teil des Alltags geworden. Aber auch mehr und mehr Gegenstände können kommunizieren, Informationen bereitstellen oder gesteuert werden. In Sensornetzen, Internet-of-Things, Cyber-Physical-Networks, ... kommunizieren nun Geräte verschiedenster Art und für verschiedenste Zwecke miteinander. In manchen Szenarien werden von Sensoren Daten gesammelt und an zentrale Stellen zur Weiterverarbeitung, Speicherung sowie Entscheidungsfindung übertragen. Bei Einsatz von Aktorik können dann auch Regelschleifen geschlossen werden. Je nach Einsatzzweck werden verschiedenste Techniken für die Sensorik, für die Kommunikation, für die Verarbeitung, für die Speicherung etc. Auch wenn schon seit etliche Jahren umfangreiche Forschungen in diesem Umfeld erfolgten, gibt es nach wie vor vielfältige offene Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Zudem bestehen sehr breite und unterschiedliche Anwendungsbereiche, die oftmals spezielle Anforderungen an alle einzelnen Komponenten stellen. So sind die Anforderungen zwischen Szenarien bspw. für Smart Farming, für Industrieanlagen oder für Smart Cities sehr unterschiedlich. Es wird daher zur Einreichung von Beiträgen zu den vielfältigen Fragestellungen des breiten Forschungsbereichs aufgerufen. Dies kann u.a., aber nicht ausschließlich, Themenbereiche beinhalten wie: - Drahtlose Sensor- und Aktornetze - Internet of Things - Cyber-Physical Systems und Networks - Device-to-Device communication - Mobile Ad hoc und Mesh Netze - Automobilanwendungen und Smart Vehicles in Networked Worlds - Transportation, Fleet Management, Traffic Management - Verteilte Systeme für das IoT, IoT Protokolle und Standardisierung - Sensordatenerfassung und Crowd Sensing - Hausautomatisierung und Verteilte Energieanwendungen - Smart Buildings und Smart Cities - Zuverlässigkeit und Performanzeigenschaften - Energie- und ressourceneffiziente Sensorknoten und Sensornetze - Werkzeuge für Test und Evaluation (Simulatoren, Emulatoren, Testbeds, ...) Beiträge -------- Ziel dieser Reihe von Fachgesprächen ist der informelle Gedankenaustausch für Wissenschaftler aus Forschung und Industrie sowie die Stärkung von Kooperationen in diesem multidisziplinären Forschungsbereich.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [failsafe-workshop] SUBMISSION EXTENSION 24th of AUGUST Datum: Thu, 16 Aug 2018 16:40:45 +0100 Von: Michael Breza <mjb04(a)doc.ic.ac.uk> An: failsafe-workshop(a)imperial.ac.uk Hello, **** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: 24th of AUGUST **** FAILSAFE 2018 Call For Papers The Second ACM International Workshop on the Engineering of Reliable, Robust, and Secure Embedded Wireless Sensing Systems http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ The FAILSAFE workshop will provide a forum to discuss tools and techniques to address the difficulties and challenges of deploying Embedded Wireless Sensor Systems (EWSS) in the wild, and aim to produce reliable, robust systems. We seek submissions of up to 8 pages describing and presenting data of problems and failures of experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in all aspects of sensor networks, mobile devices, and wireless communication. We solicit work that discusses real Deployments and ways to engineer them, Security of EWSS, both ways to engineer security at design time, and approaches to run time security, and Application resilience including designed resilience for control systems. We encourage submissions of the above topics of interest that cover, but are not limited to: We would also like submissions about any tools, methods, techniques, or approaches to engineer robust and resilient EWSS. This includes robustness and resilience faults and failures from the environment, human error, or malicious activities. Examples include novel simulation frameworks, the use of formal methods like model checking, design methodologies, languages that explicitly handle faults and failures, forms of unit, integration, or run time testing, models to test performance during faults and failures, and anything else relevant to this discussion. We address three main areas. Deployments and how to design them: - Testing frameworks, models, simulators, formal methods that deal with sensor system deployment failures, and can be used to prevent similar failures of wireless sensor systems. This includes failure of the sensor systems themselves, or the affect that their failure would have on the application that uses their data. - Monitoring tools, control systems, or code update systems for use in sensor system deployments to detect and diagnose node or system performance issues, failures, or malicious activity. - Any account of a real ENSS deployment with an emphasis on any design tools or methodologies used, and an assessment of the benefit that they provided. - Examples of a deployment that was tested, and failed due to unexpected circumstances. The testing methodology must be presented and discussed, as well as how it failed to account for the phenomenon that caused the failure, and a potential solution described. - Failure and the diagnosis of an actual deployment of mobile apps, networks and systems. Must include some data and analysis of what caused the failure. Secure Design and Operation of EWSS: - Approaches to address faults and failures caused by malicious activity aimed at the disruption of the EWSS or the application that uses it. - Formal models of security attacks. - Secure by design approaches to EWSS. - Runtime security or intrusion detection systems for EWSS. - Any documented example of a real EWSS deployment that either was attacked by malicious agents, or that deployed security mechanisms, with a description of what was done. Resilient and Robust Applications and Control: - Design methods to create applications or controllers that are resilient and robust to the loss, delay, or corruption of data from an EWSS. - Applications of formal methods to design and/or verify resilient and robust sensor networks. - Examples or methods to engineer coupled communication and control systems that are resilient and robust. - Examples of real deployment using wireless sensors for a controller with instances of failure or any design methodology used, or any security considerations taken. Submission Deadline, 17th of August 2018 Notification, 10th of September 2018 Final Version Due, 20th of September 2018 Workshop, 4th of November 2018 If you have any further questions about this call or the suitability of your work, please email: michael.breza04(a)imperial.ac.uk _______________________________________________ failsafe-workshop mailing list failsafe-workshop(a)imperial.ac.uk https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/failsafe-workshop

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/IEEE IPSN 2019: Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 14 Aug 2018 14:39:59 -0400 Von: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> Antwort an: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 18th ACM/IEEE The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) =================================================================== April 16-18, 2019, Montreal, Canada IPSN'19 is part of CPS-IoT Week 2019, co-located with HSCC, ICCPS, CPS-IoT, and RTAS. http://ipsn.acm.org/2019 =================================================================== The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading annual forum on research in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of multiple of these areas. Like prior years, IPSN 2019 will continue its co-location with CPS-IoT WEEK, the premier venue for research and development of Cyberphysical Systems, and its strong focus on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors, as well as new hardware and software platforms, design methods, architectures, modelling, implementation, evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems and the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing - - Streaming sensor system tasking and operation - - Coding, compression, and information theory - - Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds - - Network and system architectures and protocols - - IoT gateway platform architecture and services - - Outdoor, wide-area sensing systems - - Location, time, and other network services - - Programming models, languages, and systems - - Programming models for IoT ensembles - - Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools - - Operating systems and runtime environments - - Applications in health, wellness & sustainability - - Applications in smart cities and urban health - - Experiences, challenges, comparisons of platforms - - Discovery, coordination, and use of IoT services - - Security and privacy in heterogeneous systems - - IoT reliability, adaptability, and dependability - - Technical assessment of emerging IoT standards - - Wearable systems and data processing algorithms - - Sensor-enabled drone platforms and algorithms - - In addition to IPSN's traditional focus, IPSN 2019 will place a particular emphasis on embedded machine learning and computer vision, with a special track centered on these topics. In this case, topics of interest include but are not limited to: - - Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data - - New hardware and system design to enable machine learning on sensor data - - Novel embedded machine learning algorithms - - Data related issues, such as methods, tools, and analysis - - Computer vision for resource-constrained and mobile platforms *********Submission Guidelines********* Coming soon. *********Response Process********* As in previous years, IPSN will also elicit a review and response process. After the initial review, the program committee may request a short response from selected papers for additional clarifications. The authors will get a short time window of roughly 24 hours to respond. Participation to the response process is not mandatory. *****Joint statement from IPSN and IoTDI***** The two conferences are collaborating to create new synergies, also exploiting their CPSWEEK bi-annual co-location. Prospective authors are thus strongly encouraged to consider these guidelines: - Contributions of embedded nature and applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to field devices should be submitted to IPSN. Examples include localization, low-power wireless networking, and embedded data processing. - Contributions with an end-to-end perspective or applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to the cloud should be submitted to IoTDI. Examples include cloud data processing, edge computing, and systems covering multiple network segments. The TPC chairs of both conferences may agree to move a submitted paper from one to the other if they see a better fit, subject to the authors’ consent. The final decision about where to submit, and therefore what program committee will review the work, ultimately rests with the authors. *********Key Dates******** * Paper Abstract Registration: October 10th, 2018 11:59pm AoE(UTC-12) Paper Submission Deadline: (Firm*): October, 17th 2018 11:59pm AoE(UTC-12) Authors’ rebuttal period December 17th - 19th, 2018 Acceptance Notification: January 16th, 2019 Camera-Ready Deadline: TBD *********Organizers******** * General Chair: Rasit Eskicioglu (University of Manitoba) Technical Committee Chairs: Luca Mottola (Politecnico di Milan and RISE SICS) Bodhi Priyantha (Microsoft Research) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled, and integrated by computing and communication. Broad CPS deployment is transforming how we interact with the physical world as profoundly as the world wide web transformed how we interact with one another, and further harnessing their capabilities holds the possibility of enormous societal and economic impact. ACM/IEEE ICCPS is the premier single-track conference for reporting advances in all CPS aspects, including theory, tools, applications, systems, test-beds and field deployments. The conferences focuses on the core science to develop fundamental principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements, as well as on the development of technologies, tools, architectures and infrastructure for building CPS systems, highlighting the design, implementation, and investigation of CPS applications. Application domains include (but are not limited to): transportation, energy, water, agriculture, medical and assistive technology, sensor and social networks, robotics, smart cities, ecology, and supply-chains. Among the relevant research areas are security, control, optimization, machine learning, game theory, mechanism design, mobile and cloud computing, model-based design, verification, data mining / analytics, signal processing, and human-in-the-loop shared or supervisory control. All submissions must be in English. Only original papers that are not submitted or published in other conferences or journals will be considered. Manuscripts should have a main body with no more than 10 pages. Up to 2 additional pages of appendices may follow the main body of the paper, within the same submitted .pdf file. The submissions must be in the ACM two-column conference style, US Letter (8.5 inch x 11 inch) paper size, and 10pt text font size. Important Dates: Full paper submission deadline: October 17, AoE, 2018 (FIRM deadline, see CPSWeek deadline policy), Author notification: December 28, 2018, Camera-ready paper due: February 15, 2019.
