Datum: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 16:35:40 -0400 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ACM Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (ACM SmartCitySecurity 2018) in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2018, Los Angeles, June 26-29, USA. Web: https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2018/workshop-smart-city-security.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates - Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2018 (Extended Deadline) - Acceptance Notification: May 2, 2018 - Final Paper submission: May 11, 2018 - Workshop Date: June 25, 2018 Workshop Co-Chairs - Danda B. Rawat, Howard University, USA - Min Song, Michigan Tech, USA - Syed Hassan Ahmed, University of Central Florida, USA - Jaime Lloret, UPV, Valencia, Spain For paper submission to ACM SmartCitySecurity 2018, please visit https://smartcitysecurity18.hotcrp.com In case of any questions, please feel free to contact us at sh.ahmed(a)ieee.org ------------------------------------------------------ Syed Hassan Ahmed, Ph.D., SMIEEE Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), Deadline: April 6, 2018 Datum: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 03:05:47 +0200 Von: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this] CfP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/ Keynote by Dr. Dirk Kutscher (Huawei CTO): https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/keynote.html Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. 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. The topics include but are not limited to the following: - System Architecture for Edge Computing - Communication and Computation Abstractions - Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services - Edge-driven Data Analytics - Novel System and Networking Design for Data-intensive Services - Edge Security and Privacy - Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing - Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies - Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics - System Performance and Measurement - Edge Networking and Communications - Edge-enabled IoT Services and Application Taxonomy - (Autonomous) Management for Edge Systems - Security and Trust Management Workshop and TPC Chairs: Aaron Yi Ding (TU Munich, Germany) Richard Mortier (University of Cambridge, UK) Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Henning Schulzrinne (Columbia University, USA) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Peter Pietzuch (Imperial College London, UK) Dieter Kranzlmüller (University of Munich & LRZ, Germany) Dirk Kutscher (Huawei, Germany) Technical Program Committee: Ardalan Amiri Sani (UC Irvine, USA) Aruna Balasubramanian (Stony Brook University, USA) Christian Becker (University of Mannheim, Germany) Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) Paul Francis (Max Planck Institute, Germany) Hamed Haddadi (Imperial College London, UK) Tim Harris (UK) Wenjun Hu (Yale University, USA) Pan Hui (UH/HKUST, Finland & Hong Kong) Marijn Janssen (TU Delft, Netherlands) Fahim Kawsar (Nokia Bell Labs, UK) Ilias Leontiadis (Telefónica, Spain) Shen Li (IBM Research, USA) Yong Li (Tsinghua University, China) Dongtao Liu (Google, USA) Jörg Ott (TU Munich, Germany) Oriana Riva (Microsoft Research, USA) Stefan Schmid (University of Vienna, Austria) Malte Schwarzkopf (MIT, USA) Sasu Tarkoma (University of Helsinki, Finland) Carmela Troncoso (EPFL, Switzerland) Liang Wang (University of Cambridge, UK) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chenren Xu (Peking University, China) Tianyin Xu (Facebook, USA) Ennan Zhai (Yale University, USA) Publicity Chairs: Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA) Mayutan Arumaithurai (University of Göttingen, Germany) Web Chair Vittorio Cozzolino (TU Munich, Germany) Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues.

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.

For important deadlines and paper format, please check the web page or the CFP copied below. Regards, Dr. Sudhir Dixit, Prof. Seshadri Mohan, Prof. Ramjee Prasad and Prof. Hiroshi Harada Guest Editors, Feature topic on Multi-sensory Human Bond Communication IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 2019 CALL FOR PAPERS Information and communications technologies have progressed rapidly in this millennium for people to communicate and exchange information using multimedia (speech, video/image, text) and the same has extended to internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Propelled by the explosive growth in IoT, this trend is only going to accelerate in the years to come with new inventions in the =C3=A1r= ea of human-IoT interaction technologies to deliver powerful engaging and intuitive experiences. But, these developments have remained confined to only the sensing and transmission of aural and optical information in the digital domain through the use of microphone, camera, speaker and display devices. However, the ability to integrate the other three sensory features, namely, olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste) and tactile (touch) in information transfer and replication to deliver Star-Wars-like being there experience are still far from reality. Human bond communication (HBC) is a novel concept that incorporates all five sensory information from sensing to digitization to transmission and replication at the receiver to allow more expressive, engaging, realistic and holistic information between humans, and in some cases between humans and machines (M2H) or IoTs. This FT solicits articles that explore different aspects of HBC, IoTs for HBC and the interplay between these two fields, M2M and M2H, which also include the other three human sensory information (olfactory, tactile and gustatory) in addition to aural and optical sensors. Although the FT invites papers on research topics on sensing and replication, the focus of these papers should be on the ICT angle in this regards and on how information is encoded, transmitted and decoded reliably and securely in a world which would increasingly become multi-sensory. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Communication aspects of biometric extending to all five senses - Smart body area network - Brain-to-brain communication - Brain-to-brain interface, Brain-to-computer interface, Computer-to-brain interface - Gustatory, tactile, olfactory sensing and replication - Human bond communication - Human bond communication(s) interface - Human unwelt expansi=C3=B3n - Interplay between HBC and IoT - Invasive (i.e. bionic) approaches - Physical world augmentation (PWA) through the inclusion of all five senses - Privacy, security, and reliability in HBC - Sensory augmentation, sensory substitution - Wearable(s) with non-aural and non-optical sensor - Wireless body area network - Sensor encoding, transmission and decoding SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, word count, and the number of figures and tables. Please, see the guidelines online. The number of archival references is limited to fifteen (15). All references to online sources (website URLs, web-posted papers and reports) are required to show an Accessed on date.

Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call. IoPARTS2018 invites researchers, engineers, and subject matter experts from academia and industry to present their latest innovations, which address coworking challenges between humans and robots within the context of IoT. It stems from the observation that rapid advances in sensing, sensor algorithms, miniaturized computing, and improved actuation are expeditiously bringing robots into our daily lives. The near future holds promise of driverless cars, package delivering drones, precision agriculture, co-working robots, and others. A major paradigm change with these applications is the degree of autonomy of the robot, and the close proximity of their operation in urban environments. This is dramatically different from prior deployments of automation in factories with very structured environments constructed for their operation. This change brings several challenges arising from close proximity of operation with humans, modality of interaction, general awareness, and others. This workshop is interested in bringing out the computer systems challenges that this future paradigm presents. Such systems challenges include spatial awareness of the robot, ability to react in a timely manner, faster and better modes of interaction, and systems/protocols for seamless interaction in diverse environments. Topics of interest include, but not limited to : * Real-time software design for mixed-criticality systems * Smart space design for human-robot systems * System architectures and protocols for interacting with unmanned autonomous vehicles * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning * Novel sensing and interface technologies for human-robot interaction * Algorithms for human-robot coordination * Joint inference and learning based on data generated by human wearables, fixed sensors and robots * Human-in-the-loop algorithms for robot sensing/actuation * Verification of hybrid human-robot systems * Improved communication/visualization between robot and humans * Energy management among robots and mobile/fixed sensors * Issues on heterogeneous sensor modalities and capabilities among humans and robots * Security/Privacy challenges of human-robot systems * Ethical/social challenges of human-robot systems * Results from prototypes, test-beds, and demonstrations * Novel applications of human-robot systems Two types of submissions are solicited: * Full papers: Maximum length of 6 pages, including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. * Vision abstracts:Extended abstract that offers a future vision for a research direction in this space, of maximum length of 2 pages. The abstract should include title, author list, narrative (the vision statement), and references. At least one author of each accepted abstract must register for the workshop and participate in a future visions session. The session will include short talks by author of accepted abstracts, followed by discussion.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users' data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving "by design". The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT - Service platforms for IoT applications - Business models and processes for IoT applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT - Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT context - Experiences with IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart-Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration of IoT with Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS by March 12, 2018, 11:59pm CET. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018/submission.shtml.

With the aid of these equipment and technologies, vehicles can offer many new applications and services, such as active driving safety assistance, self-driving cars, smart parking, road traffic monitoring, and fleet management. In addition, there are new content-centric applications for drivers and passengers. These applications typically require intensive computation and demand low-delay data processing, e.g., video analytics with real-time interaction, image-aided navigation, natural language processing, and interactive gaming. Such applications pose great challenges to the existing vehicular terminals and networks, especially in terms of their computational resources. To meet the ever-increasing computation demand in vehicular networks, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as a very promising solution. With the dramatically enhanced capacity, MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits to vehicular networks, including ultra low latency between smart devices/vehicles and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications; privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge cloud, and big data analytics at the point of capture for novel safety-oriented applications. Despite the potentially significant benefits of MEC, many challenges need to be addressed in this new paradigm. A typical challenge is related to computation offloading which should consider mobility-awareness and incentive in MEC for vehicular networks. In addition, various computation tasks may have different resource requirements, including the computation resources for task execution and the communication resources for task transmission. In this case, a joint optimization problem should consider both communications, computation and control dimensions. The objective of this special issue is to present the latest results, insights, and perspectives on the new area of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. The topics of interest include, but not limited to: · New concepts, architecture, and principles · Cloud-edge integration and techniques for vehicular networks · Software defined vehicular networks with mobile edge computing · Edge computing supporting big data analytics for novel applications and services (e.g., traffic, surveillance, infrastructure planning) · Edge computing supporting machine learning, deep learning for self-driving cars · Communications, computation and storage resource management and optimization · Computation offloading, traffic offloading · Communications, computation, control convergence · Edge caching for content sharing in vehicular networks · Energy management, energy efficiency and greenness-performance tradeoff · Security and privacy · QoS/QoE provision · Use cases/applications highlighting the potential of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research material presented in a tutorial or survey style. Manuscript format must adhere to the IEEE VT Magazine submission guidelines. Articles should be about 3,000 to 4,000 words long with 5-10 figures and 10-15 references. The use of mathematical equations should be limited to three.
