-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: EWSN 2019 Dependability Competition - Deadline Extended! Datum: Tue, 7 Aug 2018 20:28:12 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Competitors 4th Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 25-27, 2019 - Beijing, China http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/call-for-competitors.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! DEADLINE EXTENDED !!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the first three editions, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in harsh RF environments. ******** FORMAT ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition will take place remotely and the final results will be announced during EWSN in Beijing. Remote preparation phase. After successfully registering to the conference, accepted contestants will obtain the credentials to remotely access the competition infrastructure. During the official preparation phase, all competing teams will have the possibility to test and optimize their solution for this year's competition scenario. In particular, contestants will be able to program all nodes in the competition infrastructure and download their serial output, as well as the evaluation results. The latter will be published on a leaderboard that will be visible to all other competing teams. Final evaluation phase. At the end of the preparation phase, each team needs to provide one single ihex binary file for each competition category. During the evaluation phase, this binary file will be used to extensively benchmark the performance of the competing solution. Competition abstracts. Each team will have the possibility to publish a competition abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM Digital Library. The competition abstracts will follow the same camera-ready deadline as the EWSN poster abstracts and are expected to include a description of the competing solution, as well as preliminary results and lessons learned from the preparation phase. Poster session. A poster session dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the main EWSN conference. All competing teams must present their solution in the poster session and will have the possibility to engage in lively discussions with the other conference attendees. Awards. The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session of the main conference. After receiving the award, the winning teams must hold a plenary short presentation about their solution, followed by a discussion session. ******** COMPETITION CATEGORIES ******** The EWSN 2019 dependability competition foresees two categories: Category 1: Data collection for condition monitoring. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes communicate to a single destination node over a multi-hop network (i.e., multipoint-to-point traffic). The destination node collects the data transmitted by all source nodes and forwards it to a control center for further processing. Category 2: Dissemination of actuation commands. In this category, a fixed number of source nodes needs to disseminate actuation commands to a specific set of destinations nodes in the network (i.e., point-to-multipoint traffic). Each source node is associated to a specific set of destinations (at most eight), which will be injected as input parameter into the firmware under test by the competition infrastructure. A detailed description of the competition scenario and evaluation procedure can be found on: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/competition-scenario.html ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All wireless communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing solutions: the demonstration of good use of well-known or previously-published protocols is strongly encouraged. The EWSN 2019 dependability competition will take place if at least five teams competing in the same category respond to this preliminary call for competitors. ******** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ******** Contestants must submit a short abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline. The abstract should prominently include the name of all members of the team, as well as their affiliation and contact information. Detailed information on the formatting requirements and the submission instructions can be found on: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/call-for-competitors.html ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Competition entry deadline [EXTENDED!]: August 17, 2018 (23:59, AoE) - Notification of acceptance: September 5, 2018 - Preparation phase: from October 1 to December 15, 2018 - Evaluation phase: from December 15 to February 15, 2019 - Camera-ready abstract: December 31, 2018 - Awards and poster session: February 26-27, 2019 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) Markus Schuß (Graz University of Technology, Austria) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- .................................................

While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems are regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating systems, real-time systems, databases, mobile computing, distributed systems, computer vision, and middleware communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to investigate the intersections and the interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore: — Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in more than one component, or — Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services. Such individual system components include: — Operating systems — Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements — Domain languages, development tools, and abstraction layers — Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia — New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses, and algorithms for their operation — Representation of continuous or time-dependent media — Metrics, measures, and measurement tools to assess performance This touches aspects of many hot topics including but not limited to: content preparation and delivery systems, HDR, games, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, 3D video, immersive systems, plenoptics, 360° video, volumetric video delivery, multimedia IoT, multi and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile multimedia and 5G, wearable multimedia, P2P, cloud-based multimedia, cyber-physical systems, multi-sensory experiences, smart cities, QoE. Papers should be between 6-12 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style and written in English. MMSys papers enable authors to present entire multimedia systems or research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published in the ACM Digital Library. The papers are double-blind reviewed. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three TPC members. All papers will be evaluated for their scientific quality. Authors will have a chance to submit their rebuttals before online discussions among the TPC members. ACM SIGMM has a tradition of publishing open datasets (MMSys) and open source projects (ACM Multimedia). MMSys 2019 will continue to support scientific reproducibility, by implementing the ACM reproducibility badge system (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging/). All accepted papers will be contacted by the Reproducibility Chair, inviting the authors to make their dataset and code available, and thus, obtaining an ACM badge (visible at the ACM DL). The additional material will be published as Appendixes, with no effect on the final page count for papers. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

PAM is inclusive of all areas of network measurement, but focuses on systems-based research and real-world data. Indeed, measurement technology is needed at all layers of the network stack, ranging from power profiling of hardware components to virtualization in data centers to application profiling and even user experience. Work with operational impact or relevance to the broader network research community is especially welcome, as is early and promising measurement technique. Original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the following areas are invited: + Applications, e.g., web, video, games + Protocols + Measurement tools and software + User behavior and experience + Wireless and mobile + Network security and privacy + Topology + Overlays, e.g., P2P, CDNs + Visualization + Social networks + Data centers and cloud computing + Virtualization, e.g., SDN, NFV + Energy + IoT, e.g., SCADA, ICS, and embedded systems Although PAM traditionally attracts early stage contributions, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM’s scope. ***Important Dates*** + Paper Registration: 10th October 2018, 8:59:59pm EDT + Paper Submission: 17th October 2018, 8:59:59pm EDT + Notification: 10th December 2018 + Camera-ready Due: 15th January 2019 ***Submission Guidelines*** Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. All submission must satisfy the following requirements: + Follow Springer LNCS format (see https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) + Up to 12 pages for technical content (+ up to 5 pages for appendices and references) * Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 12 pages. + NEW: Anonymization; reviewing will be double-blind (note the change from prior years) * Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission. * Refer to your prior work in the third person. * Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away. * If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs. + Submit via HotCRP: https://pam19.ccs.neu.edu ***Ethical Considerations*** Following the standard set by the Internet Measurement Conference (from which we base this section), papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation. When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a subsection describing these issues. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatted/) for further information on ethical principles and the Allman/Paxson IMC 07 paper (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) for guidance on ethical data sharing. Note that submitting research for approval by each author’s institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient – in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs at <pam2019-pcchairs(a)niclabs.cl<mailto:pam2019-pcchairs@niclabs.cl>>. ***Awards*** There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The Best Paper award will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. The Best Dataset Award will be given to the best paper that makes datasets and corresponding code available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted. These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g., Github, Bitbucket, DatCat, or CRAWDAD). ***Poster Session*** As in previous years, PAM will include a poster session featuring peer-reviewed submissions. Stay tuned for further details and the separate call for posters. ***Organization Committee*** + General Chairs * Javier Bustos (NIC Labs U. de Chile, Chile) * Fabián E. Bustamante (Northwestern University, US) + Program Chairs * David R. Choffnes (Northeastern University, US) * Marinho Barcellos (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) + Web Chair * María José Vilches (NIC Labs U. de Chile, Chile) + Registration Chair * Ivana Bachmann (NIC Labs U. de Chile, Chile) + Publicity Chair * Pedro Casas (AIT, Austria) Best, Pedro 😊 PEDRO CASAS Scientist Information Management Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Giefinggasse 4 | 1210 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at/> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Call for Paper -------------------- Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/call… Background ------------------ Automakers have been busy with implementing new designs and features for new vehicles for the last several years. The efforts have been in variety of areas such as fuel efficiency, smart features on wheels, performance, batteries, and a cluster of new products made with new materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber, and titanium. One challenging area is related to the communication system within new vehicles. The idea of self-driving vehicles from a decade ago is becoming a reality today. The development of new cars and self-driving vehicles brings a set of new challenges for the designers and drivers as well. Ease of use, accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of the new technologies used in the new vehicles are the main priority for automakers. The idea of “Connected Vehicle” has been the focus of automakers, telecommunication industry, and IT providers for quite a while. The evolution of technologies that advances vehicle connectivity has brought new fields of research and development in several industries. Numerous new terms such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicles-to-everything (V2X), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and others have been conceived to describe the passing of information from one vehicle to the surrounding entities. The aim of this special issue is to create a platform to foster new ideas and technical insights in the design and analysis of vehicular communication systems and discuss emerging technologies. Original manuscript describing unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal are welcome. Papers may describe system level design, modeling, simulation, experiment and optimization of wireless systems, emerging wireless technologies and applications, wireless system protocols and architecture and multilayer integration of RF energy and sensing components that are related to the vehicular communication systems. Topics ----------- The list of topics includes: - Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) Communication - Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communication - Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) Communication - Vehicle-to-Device (V2D) Communication - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Communication - Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) Communication - Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) Communication - Vehicle to Roadside (V2R) Communication - Software Defined Vehicular Communication Networks - Cognitive Radio enabled Vehicular Communication - Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) - Vehicular Networks and Telematics (VNTA) - Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) - Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) - Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Smart Grid Communication - Electric Vehicles recharging techniques - Efficient Utilization of Spectrum of Vehicular Communication Systems - Communication Standards for Vehicular Communication Systems - Other topics that are related to vehicular communication systems Important Dates ------------------------ Manuscript Due: August 31, 2018 Acceptance notification: October 30, 2018 Revised paper due: December 15, 2018 Notification of the re-review: January 15, 2019 Final notification: February 28, 2019 Final manuscript due: March 30, 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: August 2019 Submission Guidelines --------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/authorinst….

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] PMC journal: Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Datum: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 18:20:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 2.974) https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud has been popularly used for handling computation-intensive tasks and providing intelligence to distributed IoT devices. However, as the number of Internet-connected devices is dramatically growing, cloud shows its limit on handling the daunting amount of computation loads on the one hand and the network bandwidth for moving huge volume of data from end devices to cloud becomes the bottleneck on the other hand. Edge computing is an emerging paradigm to optimize cloud-IoT ecosystems for tackling both network bottleneck and reducing data volume. The basic idea behind the edge computing lies in that the data processing such as analytics and knowledge generation are performed in the proximity of data origins. One can see edge devices as small-scale clouds providing comparatively limited functionality and capability, as compared to the centralized cloud. The use of edge devices in the proximity of data origins thus improves network latency. Moreover, the amount of data that need to be processed by each edge device will be substantially less than the amount of data that need to be processed by single cloud. Despite numerous benefits from edge computing, this paradigm also brings new security and privacy challenges. While edge devices might be smartphones, smart gates, or even PC/laptop, together with the numerous kinds of end IoT devices such as smart watch (e.g., Apple iWatch), implantable medical devices (e.g., fitbit), voice assistants (e.g., Google Home), one can imagine various scenarios with sensitive data usage. For example, the smart watch collects sensitive physiological information. Meanwhile, distributed edge devices need to cooperate with each other without the involvement of the data center. These scenarios obviously result in a high concern of security and privacy, especially on, for example, access control of edge devices, data abuse/misuse, DoS resistance on edge devices. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent research on security and privacy of edge computing, with particular emphasis on security and privacy issues on edge/end devices. More specifically, we invite recent advanced research on privacy enhancing technologies and secure cryptographic techniques to address security and privacy challenges in the field of edge computing. The following themes are of particular interest: Authentication, auditing and accountability in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Edge computing architectures and solution design patterns Edge computing for IoT Communication and networking protocols for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Fine-grained access control mechanism in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-preserving computation in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Trust and reputation issues in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security architecture for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Key management in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT IoT communication in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Incentive models or techniques for data processing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-Enhancing Cryptographic Techniques in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security for Crowdsourcing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Guest Editors: Claudio A.

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:".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [failsafe-workshop] FAILSAFE 2018 workshop CFP Datum: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:53:17 +0100 Von: Michael Breza <mjb04(a)doc.ic.ac.uk> An: failsafe-workshop(a)imperial.ac.uk Hello, Here is a CFP for a workshop that will be interesting for all wsn developers. Basically, If you have had any deployments that have ended in disaster, and you know why and were able to fix them, or have any tools that bring modern software engineering practices to WSN programming, we would love to hear about it. We are also interested in any use of formal methods for the verification of WSN systems, or WSN systems used as part of a larger control system. 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.

This allows context-aware applications to gather information about the users to support them in their daily tasks. A newly attractive source of information for pervasive computing is provided by mobile and wearable devices able to detect the emotional state of the users. In many real-world scenarios, it is essential to use wearable sensors, embedded in mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches, to measure the emotional state of the user. This would help to understand how emotions influence processes such as decision making and reasoning. However, emotion recognition remains to be a complex and challenging task mainly regarding the following aspects: sensing modalities, data analysis, and its application in real life. · Sensing Modalities – what to sense and what kind of sensors can be used? Physical sensors in mobile devices or biosensors in wearable devices are currently available. · Data analysis – different approaches to emotion recognition are based on different types of collected data. Which one to use? · Application – How to effectively use the emotion information in pervasive computing and context-aware applications? While there have been, many contributions targeting some of these challenges, there are still unsolved problems. The proposed workshop will explore the challenges of the sensing, modeling, and recognizing of emotions by using embedded sensors in smartphones and wearable devices for pervasive computing. We aim to have unique contributions addressing these challenges and to provide a discussion space to facilitate collaboration among researchers interested in emotion recognition for pervasive computing. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Theory, experimental design, computational models, algorithms, and evolutional investigation in emotion detection for pervasive computing. * Emotion representations and signal characteristics that describe and identify emotions. * Mobile data measurement and collection platforms for emotion detection. * Approaches to obtaining reliable ground truth and affective data annotation for emotion research. * Emotion detection algorithms/approaches using data collected with mobile devices and wearable devices. * User studies and evaluation techniques for emotion detection and automated systems that model and detect emotions. * Awareness of emotions in collaboration or crowdsourcing. * The novel use of emotion information in the pervasive computing applications. * The application of emotion information for the work-life balance. * The combined research of emotion recognition and artificial intelligence (AI). * The investigation of the human-robot interaction. * Privacy issues * Presentation of emotions * Applications of emotions Technical Program Committee * Dr. Chelsea Dobbins (Department of Computer Science, Liverpool John Moores University, UK) * Prof. Klaus David (Chair for Communication Technology (ComTec), University of Kassel, Germany) * Prof. Andrea Gaggioli (Department of Psychology, Catholic University of Milan, Italy) * Prof. Bernd Radig (Technical University of Munich, Germany) * Prof. Dr. Sandra Ohly (Business Psychology Group, University of Kassel, Germany) * Prof. Dr. Tadashi Okoshi (Graduate School of Media and Governance, Keio University, Japan) * Prof. Björn W.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine - Smart Infrastructures for Crowd Management. [Deadline 1st August] Datum: Mon, 9 Jul 2018 22:52:23 +0000 Von: Nizar Zorba <nizarzorba(a)HOTMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Nizar Zorba <nizarzorba(a)HOTMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *[Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]* ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Smart Infrastructures for Crowd Management Recent efforts in the research and industry communities are aimed at realizing the Smart City, a term utilized for a city that exploits its distributed computing and communication infrastructure in order to sense, aggregate, process, discern and act upon various data, with the objective of bettering the management of the city’s various sector (e.g., health, education, weather, business, etc.). Traditional efforts have sought the application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) and RFID tags, as well as processing of sparsely distributed feeds (e.g., public and private live CCTV) in order to do the monitoring and processing. An expanded consideration for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications in smart cities has been explored with emphasis on facilitating high-density sensor and actuator deployment. Such an evolution yielded powerful architectures for enabling smart cities. Fundamental issues, however, abound in the high cost of deployment and maintenance, especially when attempting to smarten an existing city infrastructure. Such serious restraints make the aforementioned advanced technologies fully viable and attractive for new cities/districts, but reduces their applicability in the dominant transitional scenarios. Comprehensive and scalable crowd management infrastructures are required to overcome the economic and technical constraints of state-of-the-art conceptualizations and implementations, while maintaining both practical and commercial appeals. This Feature Topic Issue, motivated by the latest advances in crowd management, will tackle outstanding contributions that deal with state-of-the-art setups, techniques, methodologies, designs and actual deployment of crowd management solutions. Researchers and engineers from academia and industry are invited to submit their recent results and innovations. The list of topics includes, but not restricted to the following topics: * Data aggregation and analytics for Mobile Crowd Management. * Data filtering for crowdsourced information. * Reputation Scores for Crowd Management through crowdsourcing. * Crowd inference and classification. * Trust and privacy in crowd management. * Optimization of crowd management systems * Incentive mechanisms for crowdsourcing * Prediction approaches in Mobile Crowd Management. * Mobile crowd management quality indicators (Quality of Source, measurements uncertainty, etc.). * Network and computing infrastructures for crowd management. * Geo-positioning schemes for crowd management. * Smart City indicators inference and classification. * Crowd management in emergency and disruptive scenarios. * Infrastructure inference and classification and behavior characterization. * Testbeds and real measurements of infrastructures for crowd management in Smart Cities. Important Dates * Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 1, 2018 * Notification of Acceptance/Rejection due date: December 1, 2018 * Final version due date: January 15, 2019 * Publication: March 2019 Guest Editors Prof. Hossam Hassanein, Queen’s University, Canada (Lead) Dr. Nizar Zorba, Qatar University, Qatar Dr. Shuai Han, Harbin Institute of Technology, China Dr. Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, Australia Eng.
