-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [comsoc-etc-sub-iot] Call For Papers - Towards Service Centric Internet of Things (IoT): From Modelling to Practice on IEEE Access Datum: Thu, 5 Jul 2018 07:06:18 +0000 Von: William Liu <william.liu(a)aut.ac.nz> An: comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com <comsoc-etc-sub-iot(a)ipv6forum.com> Dear Colleagues, Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. * * *IEEE Access Special Section:*Towards Service Centric Internet of Things (IoT): From Modelling to Practice http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/towards-service-centric-interne… * * *Submission Deadline:*1 October 2018 *Paper submission*: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-access IEEE/Access/ invites manuscript submissions in the area of Towards Service Centric Internet of Things (IoT): From Modelling to Practice http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/towards-service-centric-interne… The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an emerging paradigm, to seamlessly and ubiquitously integrate a large number of smart things with intra/inter links to the physical and cyber worlds. The sensor enabled communication technologies are connecting billions of things, by efficiently utilizing their locations in the real world. It has brought active participation and tangible creation of benefits to the economy and ultimately the society. As the so called smart things are extremely diverse and heterogeneous in terms of computing and communication technology and resource capability, there is no stand-alone solution towards realisation of service centric provisioning in IoT. The service domain in IoT environments is also divers including energy efficiency, computing capability, coordination time, resource harvesting capacity, dimension of things, etc. The growing diversity enforces the necessity to address the most significant issue of technological complexity, for practical enhancement and evaluation of quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) for service-oriented use cases in IoT environments. The literature has vastly contributed towards architecture design for cooperative communication, computing and application centric development. However, the efforts towards realistic modelling and evaluation of QoS and QoE in IoT environments have not witnessed enough attentions in academia and industrial research labs. Although the realistic implementations of IoT environments have been realized in various domains including product engineering, marketing, health, sports, and security yet, the scalability of these implementations is not guaranteed due to the lack of QoS and QoE evaluation in IoT environments. The R&D towards service centric technologies in IoT environments will support the mass realization of realistic IoT implementations resulting in effective economic and social benefit. Driven by the enhancement of QoS and QoE for diverse use cases in IoT, new technologies are keen to the rise of spanning different service centric aspects in IoT environments. The aim of this special issue is to provide opportunities for researchers and practitioners to publish their latest and innovative contributions with new methodologies and modelling techniques towards service centric IoT framework. Theoretical investigation and prototype implementation based studies are particularly welcomed, as IEEE Access journal attracts practical articles discussing new experiments or measurement techniques, interesting solutions to engineering, including negative results. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Standardization progresses in service centric IoT - Business model driven network services management in service centric IoT - Resource management and scheduling for service centric IoT - Energy and resource efficiency in service centric IoT - Location accuracy enhancements for service centric IoT - Cloud and edge computing for massive service centric IoT applications - New waveforms and frame structures for massive IoT connection - High-reliability-low-latency tactile communications for IoT - Coverage extension with resource constrained sensors - Enhancing privacy, security and trust for service centric IoT We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles. * * *Associate Editor*: <Yue Cao, Northumbria University, UK> *Guest Editors*: - Omprakash Kaiwartya, Northumbria University, UK - Xiaodong Xu, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China - William Liu, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand - Jaime Lloret, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain - Yuanwei Liu, Queen Mary University of London, UK - Yuan Zhuang, Bluvision Inc., USA *Relevant IEEE Access Special Sections: * 1) Intelligent Systems for the Internet of Things 2) Multimedia Analysis for Internet-of-Things 3) Cyber-Physical-Social Computing and Networking For inquiries regarding this Special Section, please contact the Associate Editor: yue.cao(a)northumbria.ac.uk <mailto:yue.cao@northumbria.ac.uk> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Comsoc-ETC-sub-IOT" group.

IIoT consists of various smart objects distributed throughout the whole industrial system to collect massive ambient data, which can be used to identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot faults and detect malicious behaviours consequently enforcing effective control to the physical world. However, there are several challenges posed on IIoT before the formal adoption of IIoT across various industries. Among them, security and efficiency on IIoT data are the most crucial concerns. On the other hand, the blockchain technology is transforming industries by enabling anonymous and trustful transactions in decentralized and trustless environment. As a result, blockchains help to reduce system risks, mitigate financial fraud and cut down operational cost. The convergence of IIoT and blockchains can potentially overcome the deficiencies of IIoT consequently resulting in the realization of IIoT in industrial sectors. Both industry practitioners and academic researchers aim at realizing general, scalable and deployable blockchain-based IIoT platforms in various application domains while there are a number of challenges like distributed consensus algorithms and data analytics with privacy-preservation in IIoT systems. To fill the gap, this special section solicits high quality and unpublished work on recent advances in Blockchains for IIoT. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - New distributed consensus algorithms for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New security mechanisms for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New location-based services for blockchain-enabled IIoT - New blockchain platforms for IIoT - Advances in big data analytics in blockchain-enabled IIoT - Advanced contextual computing for blockchain-enabled IIoT - Edge/cloud intelligence for blockchain-enabled IIoT - Design, development and application of blockchain technology in IIoT - Intelligent manufacturing based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Energy/smart grids/utilities based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Smart supply chain based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Intelligent transportation applications based on blockchain-enabled IIoT - Applications of big data analytics in blockchain-enabled IIoT --------------------------------------------------------- Manuscript Preparation and Submission --------------------------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics.

by Lars Wolf 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Call for Competitors] 4th Dependability Competition at EWSN 2019 Datum: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:15:01 +0000 Von: Saukh, Olga <saukh(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at <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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: August 6, 2018 (23:59, AoE) - Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2018 - Preparation phase: from September 15 to November 30, 2018 - Evaluation phase: from December 1 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Demos can cover preliminary or exploratory work within the field of ubiquitous and wearable computing, report about smaller projects or results that are still maturing towards a full paper submission, or present any other research that would encourage discussion. ## Already published in the past? It is OK to submit demos of research work that has been published elsewhere, however this should be explicitly made clear in the submission. In particular, we encourage demo submissions from authors of accepted Notes and Papers to complement their research publication at the conference. This allows attendees to get a hands-on experience of your innovation in addition to the technical presentation. ## Planning to publish in future? All accepted submissions will be included in UbiComp 2018 Adjunct Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. These are not considered to be archival publications; presentation in this venue should not affect the ability for researchers to subsequently publish this work in an archival forum as a conference/journal paper. All demos will be considered for the best demo award. An independent review committee will select the winner at the conference. # Demo Deadlines - July 6, 2018: Submission deadline - July 27, 2018: Notification of acceptance - August 10, 2018: Camera ready extended abstract deadline # What Role Do Demos Play At UbiComp? Demos are an integral part of the UbiComp conference. It is an opportunity for you to showcase your early implementations, prototypes work in-progress systems and even commercial products to a broad audience. It is your chance to engage the attendees and media representatives at a personal level and let them see, touch and experience the future of UbiComp. Whether you are coming with new what-if scenarios, developing new technologies or using existing ones in novel ways, your submissions are welcome. Demos should be brief and repeatable so that it can be efficiently shown repeatedly to a large number of attendees. We particularly encourage demos that people can interact with, have physical sensors or artifacts and in general keep the audience engaged. # What To Submit Your demo submission begins with a submission of a short video OR a 2 page abstract in SIGCHI Extended Abstracts template explaining your proposed demonstration scenario. The video should be 1-4 minutes in length and must clearly explain the demo concept. The primary purpose of the video or the short abstract is to communicate to the demo selection committee what the demo is about and whether it is a relevant fit for the UbiComp community. If you choose to submit a video, please note that your video must show a working version of the system (software or hardware). If you choose to submit 2 page abstract, it should convince the reader that the system works (pictures are highly encouraged). (You can even supplement your 2 page abstract with a short video, i.e. submit both an abstract and a video.) We understand that for many research prototypes, it may not always be feasible to demo the entire system (for example a system that requires sensors to be deployed throughout a home). In such instances, we encourage you to limit the scope of the system for the purposes of the demo and communicate clearly in the video or the abstract document how the demonstrated system is a small scale version of the overall innovation. Please note that the video can be of informal quality (it just needs to show the concept) as it will only be used for selection process and will NOT be archived and/or published publicly, unless you submit a video as part of the camera ready. Finally, as part of the first step, please also include the Demo Supplement Document containing a description of attendees’ interactions with the demo and technical requirements of the demo. Note that the conference will at minimum provide you with a space for your demo, including a table, chairs, and a power connection (230V 50Hz). Participants should bring any special equipment or devices such as power converters, projectors or audio amplification. # Extended abstract for accepted authors If your proposed demo is accepted, we require that you submit a 4-page extended abstract prepared using the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts template, by the camera-ready deadline. - Word: http://prior.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-paper-format-2016/vi… - LaTeX: https://github.com/sigchi # How To Submit Demos should be submitted electronically through the UbiComp Online Submission System (PCS) ( https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions ). Please select “SIGCHI” as Society, “Ubicomp 2018” as Conference/Journal and “Ubicomp 2018 Posters, Demos and Videos” as the track in the submission page. If you are submitting a 2 page abstract, please format your abstract title as “Demo: Title of the abstract”, so that it is recognized as a demo submission. If you are submitting a video, upload it as a supplement file at the submission portal. The review process will be single blind. Submissions must *NOT* be anonymized! For a video submission, author names and affiliations must be mentioned in the Demo Supplement Document.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Lars Wolf ********************************************************************** Call for Papers – 17. GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Sensornetze – FGSN 2018 ====================================================================== https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cm/events/fgsn2018/ 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 Zweckr 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.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. This workshop builds on the success of the twelve previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing • Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks • Communication systems and networks for underground mining • Underwater communication systems and networks • Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks • Networking in polar regions • Millimeter Wave Networking • Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols • Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing • Mobile data offloading via challenged networks • Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing • Challenged networking in the Internet of Things • Challenged networking in Cyber-Physical Systems • Software-defined networking in challenged environments • Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks • Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks • Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks • Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments • Network coding in challenged networks • Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use • Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) • User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks • Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems • Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ General Paper Format: Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Authors must register the abstract 1 week prior to the full paper submission.
