-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MobiSys Workshop LocNet 2018: extended submission deadline Datum: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 22:58:55 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Workshop on Location Systems for Management and Control of Mobile and Wireless Networks (LocNet) at ACM MobiSys 2018, Munich, Germany *Submission deadline extended to March 23, 2018* ======================================================================== Wireless location systems have been studied extensively in recent years and are advancing at a rapid pace. State-of-the-art location systems now achieve very high levels of accuracy down to the decimeter-level and below, even without dedicated positioning hardware. Positioning data can bring dramatic benefits to mobile networks, not just for conventional data analytics and location-based services running over the network, but for the management and control of the network itself. Location information can be used to optimize resource allocation and network control decisions as networks become denser and support high-order MIMO and wider bandwidths, which allows devices to accurately measure the wireless environment. It is particularly relevant for emerging technologies such as millimeter-wave communication systems, where the antenna configuration, availability of paths, access points to associate with, and the data rate strongly depend on the location of the devices and on reflectors and obstacles in the environment. Location information can also be used, for example, for anticipatory networking mechanisms in mobile networks, where resource allocation decisions are based on the predicted future state of the network and users. Localizing terminals, people and things accurately and reliably allows to better deploy, provision, and manage mobile and wireless networks, thus increasing their reliability and scalability. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest developments in wireless location systems, their impact on network management and control to enhance the efficiency of communication networks, and the inherent technical challenges. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Location and positioning algorithms - Positioning in mobile networks - Millimeter-wave location systems - Visible light location systems - Anticipatory networking mechanisms based on location information - Network management and control based on location information - Network architectures and localization protocols to support use of location data - Localization and network optimization for IoT devices (including LoRa) - Joint millimeter-wave communication and radar - Wi-Fi, RFID, and other types of positioning systems - Backscatter localization - Location data fusion of cellular, WiFi and other technologies - Fusion with inertial sensors - Positioning systems with joint use of time, angle, and other observations - Location error modeling and measurement - Signal processing for location systems - Scalability of location systems - Energy efficiency of location systems - Experience from measurements and experimental results - Open testbeds for experimentation - Open-source location system implementations - Open-source location-based network management systems *Important dates* Paper submissions due: March 23, 2018 Notification of acceptance: April 18, 2018 Camera ready papers due: May 4, 2018 Workshops date: June 10/June 15, 2018 *Submission guidelines* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos.

The special sessions are the following. GNSS Railway Session conveners: Juliette Marais, IFSTTAR (FR), Omar Garcia Crespillo, DLR (DE), Cosimo Stallo Radiolabs (IT) Railways already relies on satellite-based localization systems but mostly for non-safety related applications. However, driven by economic reasons, the use of these systems for more stringent services and, in particular, in signalling system is seriously investigated today and tested all around the world. The developments have made huge progress in the past years: from global demonstration of concept to the development of elements of the systems (hybrid localization units, integrity monitoring schemes, augmentation systems). A number of technical solutions have been developed and demonstrated. Some real advances are noticed, in particular, in the ERTMS framework, considering the use of GNSS-based virtual balises. But GNSS is also investigated for other services such as train integrity. The session will present the latest results and projects dealing with the introduction of GNSS in the railways. Papers are expected to focus on technical issues for performance enhancement as well as safety demonstrations, experimental results of GNSS reception characterization or operational system demonstration. New challenges in wireless communications for Railways Session conveners: M. Berbineau, IFSTTAR (FR), Ke Guan, BJTU (CN), José Soler, DTU (DK) To increase quality, reliability, safety and security of railway systems while increasing accessibility and productivity, we observe ever increasing fluxes of information between various stakeholders, central databases and field devices widely distributed along infrastructures and inside trains. This trend is accentuated by the development of automation and driverless systems and autonomous trains. Robustness, reliability, high data rate, spectral efficiency, optimization of radio resource usages, low latency and low energy consumption are of significant interest for railway applications. Evaluating the performance and new challenges of wireless communication systems requires radio channel models for numerous propagation environments and in very different frequencies (from 1 GHz to mmW for example). Furthermore, dedicated antennas need to be developed with adequate performance and placement. Innovative solutions at network level are also needed (heterogeneous handover, new architecture, scheduling aspects, etc.) and incorporation of new paradigms such as SDN or NFV, may impact current service offer and enable new ones. Safety and security are also strong requirements for wireless communications for railways including cybersecurity. The session will present the latest results and projects addressing these challenges. Maritime communications Session conveners: Michele Fiorini, EIT (IT) The purpose of the special session is to facilitate interactions between university researchers, students, start-ups, NGOs, SMEs, industries and administrations dealing within the maritime domain. The topics relevant to the session spans from systems (CSS, EZZ protection, AIS, satellite surveillance, e-NAV etc..) to services (SAR, VTS, VDES, Single Window -Port Management-, anti-piracy, etc..) and all combinations. Innovative concepts and practical applications are particularly welcome. Reliability of vehicular communications Session conveners: Jacek Rak, Gdansk University of Technology (PL) The purpose of this special session is to enable discussions among researchers from academia and industry on reliability of vehicular communications, which still remains an extraordinary challenge especially under unfavourable conditions. Special focus of the session is put on the issue of delivery of data to intended receivers in accordance to requirements of applications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission procedure: Authors are invited to submit regular papers (7 pages) or demo abstracts (2 pages), describing original, previously unpublished research or demos, not currently under review by another conference or journal. The submission is done using the <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itst2018> Easy Chair system. All accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by EI.

Today, the state-of-the-art in computational models that, for example, recognize a face, track user emotions, or monitor physical activities are increasingly based on deep learning principles and algorithms. Unfortunately, deep models typically exert severe demands on local device resources and this conventionally limits their adoption within mobile and embedded platforms. As a result, in far too many cases existing systems process sensor data with machine learning methods that have been superseded by deep learning years ago. Because the robustness and quality of sensory perception and reasoning is so critical to mobile computing, it is critical for this community to begin the careful study of two core technical questions. First, how should deep learning learning principles and algorithms be applied to sensor inference problems that are central to this class of computing? This includes a combination of applications of learning some of which are familiar to other domains (such as the processing image and audio), in addition to those more uniquely tied to wearable and mobile systems (e.g., activity recognition). Second, what is required for current -- and future -- deep learning innovations to be either simplified or efficiently integrated into a variety of mobile resource-constrained systems? At heart, this MobiSys 2018 co-located workshop aims to consider these two broad themes; more specific topics of interest, include, but are not limited to: = Compression of Deep Model Architectures = Neural-based Approaches for Modeling User Activities and Behavior = Quantized and Low-precision Neural Networks (including Binary Networks) = Mobile Vision supported by Convolutional and Deep Networks = Optimizing Commodity Processors (GPUs, DSPs etc.) for Deep Models = Audio Analysis and Understanding through Recurrent and Deep Architectures = Hardware Accelerators for Deep Neural Networks = Distributed Deep Model Training Approaches = Applications of Deep Neural Networks with Real-time Requirements = Deep Models of Speech and Dialog Interaction or Mobile Devices = Partitioned Networks for Improved Cloud- and Processor-Offloading = Operating System Support for Resource Management at Inference-time FULL PAPER SUBMISSIONS Solicited submissions include: full technical workshop papers, descriptions of work-in-progress, and white position papers. Maximum length of such submissions is 6 pages, and if accepted they will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library. Submission Deadline: April 2nd, 2018 – 11:59PM AOE [extended deadline] Author Notification: April 20th, 2018 POSTER/DEMO SUBMISSIONS Poster/demo abstracts are also welcome and encouraged. Abstracts will be limited to 2 pages but will only be published on the workshop website (not the ACM DL). Deadlines for poster/demo submissions will remain open until the early registration deadline for the MobiSys 2018 conference closes.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] LocNet Workshop at ACM MobiSys'18 Datum: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 10:48:51 +0100 Von: Claudio Fiandrino <claudio.fiandrino(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Claudio Fiandrino <claudio.fiandrino(a)IMDEA.ORG> Organisation: IMDEA NETWORKS Institute An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *[Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]* ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Workshop on Location Systems for Management and Control of Mobile and Wireless Networks (LocNet) at ACM MobiSys, June 15, 2018, Munich, Germany Proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library ======================================================================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/locnet18/ Wireless location systems have been studied extensively in recent years and are advancing at a rapid pace. State-of-the-art location systems now achieve very high levels of accuracy down to the decimeter-level and below, even without dedicated positioning hardware. Positioning data can bring dramatic benefits to mobile networks, not just for conventional data analytics and location-based services running over the network, but for the management and control of the network itself. Location information can be used to optimize resource allocation and network control decisions as networks become denser and support high-order MIMO and wider bandwidths, which allows devices to accurately measure the wireless environment. It is particularly relevant for emerging technologies such as millimeter-wave communication systems, where the antenna configuration, availability of paths, access points to associate with, and the data rate strongly depend on the location of the devices and on reflectors and obstacles in the environment. Location information can also be used, for example, for anticipatory networking mechanisms in mobile networks, where resource allocation decisions are based on the predicted future state of the network and users. Localizing terminals, people and things accurately and reliably allows to better deploy, provision, and manage mobile and wireless networks, thus increasing their reliability and scalability. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest developments in wireless location systems, their impact on network management and control to enhance the efficiency of communication networks, and the inherent technical challenges. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Location and positioning algorithms - Positioning in mobile networks - Millimeter-wave location systems - Visible light location systems - Anticipatory networking mechanisms based on location information - Network management and control based on location information - Network architectures and localization protocols to support use of location data - Localization and network optimization for IoT devices (including LoRa) - Joint millimeter-wave communication and radar - Wi-Fi, RFID, and other types of positioning systems - Backscatter localization - Location data fusion of cellular, WiFi and other technologies - Fusion with inertial sensors - Positioning systems with joint use of time, angle, and other observations - Location error modeling and measurement - Signal processing for location systems - Scalability of location systems - Energy efficiency of location systems - Experience from measurements and experimental results - Open testbeds for experimentation - Open-source location system implementations - Open-source location-based network management systems *Submission Instructions* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] The 8th ACM MobiHoc 2018 Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare (MobileHealth 2018) Datum: Sat, 3 Mar 2018 17:19:10 -0500 Von: Sa ïd Yahiaoui <syahiaoui(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sa ïd Yahiaoui <syahiaoui(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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Chang, Zheng" <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Gesendet: 1. März 2018 03:45:45 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extended to March 14th: IEEE Wireless Communications SI on SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN THE WIRELESS INTERNET OF THINGS: EMERGING TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Dear all, Please note the deadline of following SI of IEEE Wireless Communications has been extended to 14th of March. 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.

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.

-------- 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.

In addition to the traditional ACM WiSec topics of physical, link, and network layer security, we welcome papers focusing on the security and privacy of mobile software platforms, usable security and privacy, biometrics, cryptography, and the increasingly diverse range of mobile or wireless applications such as Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. The conference welcomes both theoretical as well as systems contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Security & privacy for smart devices (e.g., smartphones) - Wireless and mobile privacy and anonymity - Secure localization and location privacy - Cellular network fraud and security - Jamming attacks and defenses - Key management (agreement or distribution) for wireless or mobile systems - Information-theoretic security schemes for wireless systems - Theoretical and formal approaches for wireless and mobile security - Cryptographic primitives for wireless and mobile security - NFC and smart payment applications - Security and privacy for mobile sensing systems - Wireless or mobile security for emerging applications (e.g, privacy in health, automotive, avionics, smart grid, or IoT applications) - Physical tracking security and privacy - Usable mobile security and privacy - Economics of mobile security and privacy - Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security - Mobile malware and platform security - Security for cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access systems - Security protocols for wireless networking The proceedings of ACM WiSec, sponsored by SIGSAC, will be published by the ACM. This year, papers are due on March 1, 2018 at 11:59 PM EDT. Abstracts can be registered any time until the paper deadline. We invite full-length and short papers; additionally, we also invite opinion papers. We are continuing to encourage results that are reproducible - attaching the "reproducibility" label. The submission site is at https://wisec18.hotcrp.com. More details about each submission type and reproducibility are below: FULL AND SHORT PAPERS Full paper submissions to ACM WiSec 2018 can be up to 10 pages in the ACM conference style excluding the bibliography and well marked appendices, and up to 12 pages in total. ACM WiSec also encourages the submission of short papers with a length of up to 6 pages, which describe mature work of a more succinct nature. All papers must be thoroughly anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Detailed submission instructions will appear on the conference website. OPINION PAPERS ACM WiSec 2018 invites papers (ACM conference style, up to 3 pages excluding references) that present personal perspectives on all aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks. Opinion papers could also criticize previous research or research directions, as well as highlight possible promising research directions. The opinions expressed in these papers are expected to be anyway corroborated by theoretical foundations, experiments, or experiences. Like the regular papers, the opinion papers will be reviewed by the WiSec Technical Program Committee. The selected opinion papers will be a part of the WiSec technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Opinion papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Opinion:". REPRODUCIBILITY LABEL This year is the second one in a row for a new effort to support greater reproducibility in mobile and wireless security experimental research. The goal of this process is to increase the impact of mobile and wireless research, enable dissemination of research results, sharing of code and experiments set-ups, and to enable the research community to build on prior experimental results. Towards this goal, WiSec is introducing a reproducibility label to recognize papers whose results were reproduced by an independent group of researchers. Authors of accepted papers, can participate in this voluntary process by submitting their experiments following the reproducibility evaluation instructions. Authors are encouraged to plan ahead when running their experiments to minimize the overhead of applying for this label. POSTERS AND DEMOS WiSec also solicits submission of posters and demos. DOUBLE SUBMISSIONS It is a policy of the ACM to disallow double submissions, where the same (or substantially similar) paper is concurrently submitted to multiple conferences/journals. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: • Physical layer issues and data driven intelligence • Link layer issues and data driven intelligence • Network layer issues and data driven intelligence • Cross layer data driven optimizations • Wireless sensor networks and data driven intelligence • Cognitive radio networks and data driven intelligence • Vehicular networks and data driven intelligence • Edge/Fog Computing and data driven intelligence • Supervises and unsupervised machine learning techniques for wireless networks • Reinforcement learning techniques and wireless networks • Data driven algorithms for wireless networks Important Dates • Manuscript Submission Deadline: April 30, 2018 • Decision Notification: July 15, 2018 • Final Manuscript Submission: Sep 30, 2018 • Publication Date: Nov 2018 Guest Editors of the Special Issue Muhammad Khalil Afzal, Lead Guest Editor COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Wah, Pakistan Email: khalilafzal(a)ciitwah.edu.pk Biography: https://sites.google.com/site/muhammadkhalilafzal/ Mubashir Husain Rehmani Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland Email: mshrehmani(a)gmail.com Biography: https://sites.google.com/site/mshrehmani/ Yousaf Bin Zikria Yeungnam University, South Korea.

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. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Xplore and will include both short and regular papers presented at the workshop. A Best Paper Award will be given to the paper(s) with the highest technical merit. All IEEE LANMAN 2018 technical papers and posters must be associated with an author registration at the full rate.
