More details: https://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/cfp/security-privacy-in-wireless-interne… Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm that involves a network of physical objects containing embedded technologies to collect, communicate, sense, and interact with their internal states or the external environment through wireless or wired connections. Most of the IoT devices have wireless capabilities (e.g., wi-fi, Bluetooth). With rapid advancements in IoT technology,the number of IoT devices is expected to surpass 50 billion by 2020, which has drawn the attention of attackers who seek to exploit the merits of this new technology for their own benefits. The exposure of resource-constrained IoT devices to the dangers of the Internet opens the door to a plethora of potential security and privacy risks to the IoT, such as attacks against IoT systems and unauthorized access to private information of end-users. As IoT starts to penetrate to virtually all sectors of the society, such as retail, transportation, healthcare, energy supply, and smart cities, security breaches may be catastrophic to the actual users and the physical world. Such threats may diminish the public confidence towards the adoption of the IoT technology. Although there are existing works that address the security challenges in network and distributed systems, we need to pay more attention the security and privacy challenges emerging from deploying IoT in practical applications with a special emphasis on the wireless IoT devices, infrastructures, wireless networking, and applications. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present and discuss technical challenges and recent advances related to security and privacy techniques for wireless IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Intrusion prevention, detection, and response for wireless IoT networks. Implementation, deployment and management of network security policies in the IoT. Cross-domain trust management in wireless IoT. Integrating security in IoT protocols: routing, naming, network management. Security for future wireless IoT architectures and designs. Secure crowdsourcing in wireless IoT. Secure wireless communication protocols in the IoT. Security and privacy of wireless IoT systems based on machine learning. Privacy and anonymity technologies for wireless IoT. Privacy in wireless IoT-based services and applications. Privacy in mobile and wireless communications for IoT. Privacy-preserving authentication in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving attack detections in wireless IoT. Privacy-preserving data aggregation and analysis in wireless IoT applications.

Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. The active research work on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Tasklet, ThinkAir, and MAUI) also support this vision. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 1st International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys '18 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] ACM MobiHoc 2018 Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:16:24 -0700 Von: Abderrahmen Mtibaa <amtibaa(a)NMSU.EDU> Antwort an: Abderrahmen Mtibaa <amtibaa(a)NMSU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies.] MobiArch 2018 13th Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture To be held in conjunction with MobiSys 2018, June 10th, Munich, Germanywww.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/ Call for Papers Recent years have witnessed not only mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers, but also exponential growth of mobile data traffic due to ubiquitous penetration of portable devices, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, user-generated content sharing, and user-centric applications such as augmented/virtual reality. In the meantime, mobile devices continue to increase in their computing power, as well as the network infrastructure is in the process of transforming from a hardware-dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined system with computing moving to the cloud, edge, and the fog to alleviate the processing load on the mobile devices. The increasing ability to collect and process large amounts of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design, in which, for example, resources are provisioned in either centralized global data centers or local servers close to the network edge, or both interacting with one another. In this context, various networking challenges arise, such as seamless IP mobility management, algorithm design to correlate user mobility and application usages, online/offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, investigating possibility of offloading computing/storage tasks from mobile hosts to the cloud/edge, algorithm design to correlate traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading, pattern inference and estimation, and multi-connectivity technology exploitation for QoS, and extreme reliability and low-latency in challenged scenarios. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, multi-homing, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, incentive mechanisms, efficient and quality-aware mobile multimedia content distribution, information-centric and mobility-aware networking solutions, new business models for mobile data, security and privacy, as well as related operational concerns and legal issues. MobiArch 2018 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussions. MobiArch uses a single blind review policy for paper review. All papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics of interest center around all architectural issues and system support for mobility in the evolving Internet (e.g., towards content-centric, information-centric, edge/fog computing, and network softwarization), including but not limited to: • Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers (including cross-layer) of the IP stack • Architectures and protocols for mobile edge/fog computing • Architectures and protocols for efficient integration of cyber-physical sensors/actuators, edge nodes, and the cloud, with offloading opportunities in the different layers • Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support • Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning, in particular with reference to the technical challenges of big and M2M data • Mobility in 5G (network slicing, mobility across access networks and in 5G-core, etc.) • Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking • Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture • Connected vehicles architecture (and associated Vehicle-to-Vehicle/Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications) • Impact of M2M communications (e.g., WiFi Direct, LTE Direct, etc.) on Internet architecture design • Mobile data sensing and fusion, in particular with reference to the technical challenges of big and M2M data • Impact of Information-Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks • Cognitive networks design for mobile systems and applications • Seamless mobility and mobility-prediction-enhanced techniques in heterogeneous networks • Location management, positioning, and data management for wireless and mobility • Accounting, access control, security, and privacy issues, and novel technologies such as block-chains • Social, economic, scalability, and deployment issues • Large-scale pilots, deployment experiences, experimentation, and quantitative performance assessment of innovative mobile Internet architectures Workshop Co-Chairs Thomas Magedanz, Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS in Berlin, Germany Satyajayant “Jay” Misra, New Mexico State University (NMSU), USA Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper award.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] The 8th ACM MobiHoc 2018 Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] The 8th ACM MobiHoc 2018 Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018) Datum: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 16:16:39 +0000 Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS 8th ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018) June 25, 2018, Los Angeles, USA Health cost represents a considerable ratio in the economic budget of developed countries, and certain tendency studies are not optimistic about an improvement in the situation. Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring more or less care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. No doubt, using socio-medical establishments to place people at risk under surveillance is impractical for cost reasons, but also for reasons of quality of life. Many of these people are fully autonomous, though weakened. Their psychological confinement due to the presence of nursing staff would be a breach of their freedom. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipment like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would increase life standard. The objective is to develop and implement innovative solutions based on information technologies and wireless communication for the benefit of those needing medical permanence. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient’s data back to health care centres over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. Patients benefit from continuous ambulatory monitoring as a part of a diagnostic procedure, optimal maintenance of a chronic condition or during supervised recovery from an acute event or surgical procedure. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G/4G/5G and/or WiFi/HEW connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. MobileHealth workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas as an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The theme of the 2018 edition of MobileHealth is /*Improving the Smart Cities Citizens Healthcare.*/ The Technical program topics include, but are not limited to: * Mobile devices for healthcare * Wearable and Implantable * Wireless sensors for healthcare * Communications and computing infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps * Protocols for wireless healthcare * Big data analytics * Realizations and Platforms * Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps * Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare * Service and device discovery * Data fusion and context elaboration * Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare * Standards for mobile healthcare * Energy Efficiency in wireless health monitoring * Pervasive healthcare systems and services * Authentication and sensors monitoring * Confidentiality and data security * Mobile interfaces for data visualisation *GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Soufiene Djahel, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Syed Hassan Ahmed, University of Central Florida, USA *TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS * Mahasweta Sarkar, San Diego State University, USA Zilong Ye, California State University, Los Angeles, USA *STEERING COMMITTEE * Saadi Boudjit, University of Paris 13, France Philippe Jacquet, Bell Labs Alcatel-Lucent, France Anis Laouiti, Telecom Sud Paris, France Paul Muhlethaler, Telecom Sud Paris, France Majid Sarrafzadeh, UCLA Wireless Health Institute, USA *PUBLICITY CO-CHAIRS * Youcef Begriche, Telecom Paris-Tech, France Said Yahiaoui, Cerist Research Center, Algeria *TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Marwen Abdennebi, University of Paris 13, France Sasan Adibi, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia Saadi Boudjit,, University of Paris 13, France Syin Chan, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Zainul Charbiwala, IBM Research, India Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University, USA Avik Ghose Tata Consultancy Services, India Roozbeh Jafari, University of Texas at Dallas, USA Anis Laouiti, Telecom SudParis, France Gustavo Marfia, University of Bologna, Italy Hassine Moungla, Paris Descartes University, France Ertan Onur, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Amir Qayyum, CUST, Islamabad, Pakistan Kevin Stanley, University of Saskatchewan, Canada Sim-Hui Tee, Multimedia University, Malaysia Apinun Tunpsan, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand Egon L.

There are more than 370 Million Internet users worldwide. Number of unique mobile users is almost 5 Billion, with total number of mobile connections exceeding 8 Billion. This indicates that wireless communication is a prevalent field. Different wireless technologies including mobile cellular, fixed line, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and others are widely used for diverse communication purposes. It is estimated that majority of user’s access Internet via a mobile device. Internet traffic is dominated by multimedia content, and its proportion is ever increasing. This increases quality of service/experience (QoS/QoE) requirements. Optimizing multiple, often conflicting goals (delay, throughput, energy etc.) is of fundamental importance in the context. With the spreading of Internet and broadening of its capacity, data is available in abundance. Many fields benefit from data to optimize decisions. A lot of datasets, related to performance and security of different wireless networks are publicly available. Depending on the type of network and application, potential research areas include but not limited to: routing, MAC layer optimizations, mobility optimization, spectrum sensing, signal classification, handover decision, power allocation and rate adaptation, performance prediction, data collection and aggregation, event detection, localization and object tracking, intrusion detection and other security issues. Potential techniques to solve such problems include but not limited to: machine learning (supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement), swarm intelligence, genetic algorithms, artificial immune system, markov decision process, and game theory. Therefore, this special issue is to focus the data driven techniques to solve wireless communication problems (e.g. related to performance, security, and applications etc.). We invite researchers from academia and industry to discuss challenging ideas and novel research contributions, demonstrate results on data driven intelligence in wireless networks and related areas.

Continuing that tradition, IEEE LANMAN 2018 invites cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation. Papers are solicited in all areas of networking, but in keeping with the current research trend, this workshop’s central theme is Networking the Intelligent Edge. The intelligent edge is a platform for the deployment of low latency applications and services that can also provide compute capabilities close to the field where the service is delivered. Several vertical markets require IT services close to the field with a reliable and low latency networking glue that can intelligently determine how the different components of the service are multiplexed and delivered to the end consumer. The intimate single-track session format of the workshop encourages stimulating exchanges between researchers. The workshop is expected to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on architectures, service models, pricing, and performance. Speculative and potentially transformative ideas are particularly encouraged, as are studies reporting measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Papers are solicited on any LANMAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: Network and transport mechanisms for latency reduction Intelligent routing and forwarding Reliable transport in heterogeneous access networks Multi-path transport Load aware packet forwarding In-network caching In-network processing Packet scheduling Active queue management Context-aware networking Named-data networking Internet of things Vehicular communications Machine to machine communications Machine to human communications Group communications Secure transport for group communications Model-driven networking for intelligent edge applications Intent-based networking for intelligent edge applications API for intelligent edge applications IEEE LANMAN 2018 solicits paper submissions of Regular Papers (up to 6 pages) and Short Papers (up to 2 pages). The short papers will be presented in a poster session. Also, some of regular paper submissions may be accepted as short papers by the TPC. The page limits include all figures, tables, and references. All papers must be electronically submitted in PDF according to the guidelines in the workshop website http://www.ieee-lanman.org.

While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by an incredibly higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, we are still far from the full exploitation of the potentialities offered by such an ecosystem. The communication systems so far developed are mainly conceived to connect people, and they hardly adapt to connect devices. So that, Massive Machine Type Communications represents one of the use cases for the development of the forthcoming 5G cellular system. Also, since every day, new heterogeneous devices are added to and removed from our cities, it is mandatory to develop some framework capable to manage such an high-dynamic systems. In addition, such systems are required to be capable to evolve their functionalities over time, according to changes in their finalities. As a consequence, they should support the possibility to add, update, and remove functionalities depending on the available devices and services. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking and management infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; - Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities - Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; - Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; - Crowd sourcing in smart cities; - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; Submission Instructions Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of March 10th 2018. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS(Paper submission link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24492<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1snqcN8veWOIG-B7ZPW72RyV-YSs5cP0Ic6UeZ7dP6Blqd…>).

We are providing a sample paper for download; please use this as a guide. The EDAS link to upload papers is available via http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/ Note that we will consider two different categories of papers: - Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages. - Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without completed 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, 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 workshop. 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. No-show policy -------------- Submission to the workshop implies willingness to present. No-shows will be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos, no remote cast) at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs of the workshop and only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
