DEADLINE EXTENDED !!!! 3rd Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded … [View More]Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 14-16, 2018 - Madrid, Spain https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/call-for-competitors.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the 2016 and 2017 editions, the Intl. Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) will host also this year a competition to compare the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in harsh RF environments. FORMAT: This year's dependability competition will have a new format compared to the past two editions, the most prominent changes being that it will take place remotely over a longer time window, and that it will involve the reporting of multiple events from several nodes. Interested participants should first submit an abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline. Accepted contestants will obtain the credentials to remotely access the competition infrastructure and enter the preparation phase, after which each team needs to provide one binary that will be used for the final evaluation. A poster session entirely dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the evening of the first conference day. All competing teams must present their solution in the poster session and will have the possibility to engage in lively discussions with the other conference attendees. The winners of the competition will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session on the second conference day and will hold a 10-minutes talk presenting their solution, followed by a short discussion. COMPETITION SCENARIO AND EVALUATION PROCEDURE: The competition scenario emulates the operation of a sensor and actuator network monitoring discrete events in an industrial setting where several co-existing wireless devices are crowding the RF spectrum. A complete description of the competition scenario and evaluation procedure can be found at: https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/call-for-competitors.html ELIGIBILITY Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All wireless communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes. The competition will take place if at least 5 teams respond to this preliminary call for competitors. Depending on the nature and number of submissions, multiple categories may be defined. The winning teams in each category will receive cash awards and present their approach at EWSN in a 10-minutes plenary talk. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Interested participants should first submit a two-page abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline, following the formatting requirements described on the competition Webpage. The abstracts will be used to pre-select the participants to the competition.

In cloud-centric IoT applications, the sensor data from these “things” is extracted, accumulated and processed at the public/private clouds, leading to significant latencies. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for Cloud Computing resources from emerging applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), academics and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to micro data centres located at the edge of the network. These micro data centres are often closer to a user (geographically and in access latency) compared to the centralised cloud data centre. The aim of utilizing such edge resources is to off load computation that would have “traditionally” been carried out at the cloud data centre to a resource that is closer to a user or edge devices. This vision also acknowledges the variation in network latency from an end user to cloud data centre. Whereas the network around a data centre is often high capacity and speed, that near the user device may have variably properties (in terms of resilience, bandwidth, latency, etc). Referred to as “fog/edge computing”, this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments in addition to bringing computing resources closer to end-users. On the one hand, the development of Fog and Edge clouds includes dedicated facilities, operating system, network and middleware techniques to build and operate such micro data centres that host virtualized computing resources. On the other hand, the use of Fog and Edge clouds requires extension to current programming models and propose new abstractions that will allow developers to design new applications that take benefit from such massively distributed systems. The use of this approach also opens up other challenges in: security and privacy (as a user now needs to “trust” every micro data centre they interact with), support for resource management for mobile users who transfer session from one micro data centre to another, support for “embedding” such micro data centres into devices (e.g. cars, buildings, etc). The conference seeks to attract contributions covering both theory and practice of any of the aforementioned challenges, from the management software stack to domain-specific applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing · Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures · Programming models and runtime systems for Fog/Edge Computing · Scheduling for Fog/Edge infrastructures · Fog/Edge storage · Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures · Fog/Edge Computing applications · Latency/locality-critical applications · Legal issues in Fog/Edge clouds · Security and privacy – including support for new cryptographic approaches · Modelling Fog/Edge environments – e.g. using process networks, agent-based models, Peer-2-Peer systems, etc · Performance monitoring and modelling · Applications of Fog/Edge Computing ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

These systems include real-time video/audio surveillance, remote e-health systems, intelligent transportation systems, and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and etc. Mobile edge computing, by placing various cloud resources (e.g., computational and storage resources) closer to smart devices/objects, has been envisioned as an enabling and highly promising technology to realize and reap the promising benefits of H-IoTs applications. However, the growing demands for ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and high reliability of the large number of H-IoTs applications has yielded a critical issue in mobile edge computing, i.e. the limited connections (such as connection capacity, bandwidth, or the number of simultaneously affordable connections) between mobile edge cloud and smart devices/objects. Multi-access mobile edge computing (MA-MEC), which actively exploits a systematic and adaptive integration of recent radio access technologies including 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi to enhance the access capacity of smart devices to mobile edge platforms, has been considered as a highly promising technology to tackle this issue. The evolution towards the architecture of ultra-dense small-cells in future radio access networks facilitates the MA-MEC, i.e., the densely deployed small cells can significantly improve the capacity and quality of the connections between smart devices and mobile edge cloud. Therefore, with the strength of multi-access for capacity-enhancement, the MA-MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits, such as i) ultra-low latency between smart devices and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications, e.g., the real-time indoor navigation and augmented virtual-reality, ii) privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge! cloud, and iii) big data analytics at the point of capture for IoT applications. However, the success of MA-MEC still requires tackling many new challenges. For instance, to efficiently exploit computation and storage resources at mobile edge nodes, a joint optimization of placement of computation/storage resource and cell-association with radio resource allocation is necessitated. Such joint optimization should be adaptive according to time-varying environments, e.g., the varying wireless channel states when users move across the cells and the dynamic computation/storage resource utilizations. Therefore, this Feature Topic (FT) aims at soliciting high quality and unpublished work regarding recent advances in MA-MEC, with the main focus on addressing the fundamental design issues in MA-MEC, and the emerging paradigms and testbeds that use MA-MEC.

The resulting presence of networks of intelligent systems in our daily environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, different design concepts (such as the MAPE cycle and the Observer/Controller framework) have been developed to allow for a self-organised control process at runtime that relieves the designer from specifying all possibly occurring situations and configurations within the design process. Instead, the system itself takes over responsibility to find proper reactions to perceived changes in the environmental conditions. As designers are not able to foresee all possibly occurring situations and circumstances the system will face during its operation time, the self-organisation process of the system has to pursue a steadily self-optimising behaviour. Self-optimising behaviour can be triggered at various levels of the system’s design, ranging from basic control architectures over self-organised coordination/collaboration methods as well as from domain-specific optimisation techniques to the application of machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, related topics such as trust and security in collaborative systems provide necessary concepts to enable self-optimising behaviour in SASO systems. In this workshop, we will discuss current research efforts that endeavour the establishment of self-optimising system behaviour. Thereby, a special focus will be set on observable trends and upcoming challenges, resulting from well-known issues of adjacent domains such as evolutionary optimisation or machine learning.

Oktober 2017 07:15:23 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine | FT on Information-Centric Networking Security CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine, Feature Topic on Information-Centric Networking Security http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/information-centric-networking-security -INTRODUCTION ---------------------------------------- … [View More]Information-centric networking (ICN) is a new network architecture that provides the access to named data as first order network service, providing better trust in data authenticity and greater potential for optimizing forwarding behavior compared to traditional host-based communication systems like the Internet today. The ICN principle of accessing authenticated named data in the network enables several optimizations, such as network-layer data caching, flexible multipath communication and simplified mobility management. ICN thus addresses many important requirements of applications such as high-performance, scalable media data distribution and reliable, distributed Internet of Things networks. ICN is an active research area that includes specific topics such as network architectures, applications, transport, and caching techniques. Security is a particularly important topic since ICN enables new approaches with respect to confidentiality, access control and trust management that we want to address by this Feature Topic. Solicited topics include (but are not limited to): · Security architectures for information-centric networking (ICN) · Authentication and authorization for distributed caching environment · Access control mechanisms for ICN · Security in mobile ICN · Cryptographic protocols against internal attacks in information-centric network · Information sharing and data protection in ICN · Secure monitoring in ICN · Denial of service attacks prevention in ICN · Privacy protection in ICN · Privacy policy framework for ICN · Privacy in caching, naming, signature · Mechanisms to enforce privacy and trust · Privacy-preserving processing in ICN · Privacy-preserving data publishing on ICN · User privacy, data providers privacy and ICN application platform privacy · Privacy and security in ICN applications · Trusted computing platform · Trust models for ICN · Trust management for ICN · Copyright management and business models for ICN - SUBMISSIONS ---------------------------------------- Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology community. They should be written in a tutorial style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words (from introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables and captions). Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of archival references is recommended not to exceed 15. In some rare cases, more mathematical equations, figures, and tables may be allowed, if well-justified.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Muhammad Khalil Afzal <muhammad.khalil.afzal(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3.

These wireless networks are providing backbone of future generation communication technologies. Unique characteristics of wireless networks such as mobility, high error rates, and multipath propagations bring the new challenges to traditional TCP/IP-based protocol stack which was developed mainly for wired networks. The unexpected packet losses in wireless networks significantly degrade the networks’ performances. On the other hand, quality of service (QoS) is another challenge for the wireless networks which enable users to share multimedia data while moving in real time. For the efficient and controlled communications in the future generation networks, it is very important to design and develop smart and state-of-the-art algorithms. Even though the protocol architecture traditionally follows strict layering principle, the lack of coordination among the layers rather limits the performances of wireless networks. The optimization cross over various key network parameters including energy efficiency, mobility management, security, cooperation, and quality of service (QoS) is essential issue for the future wireless networks and the solution of it might be cross-layer design. The core idea of the cross- layer design is not only to maintain the functionalities associated to the conventional original layers, but also to allow coordination, integration, and joint optimization of protocols. The goal of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art and novel protocols and methodologies that embark on cross-layer design, issue and opportunities for future intelligent heterogeneous wireless networks. Topics of interest in this special issue include, but are not limited to: + Cross-layer design for physical, MAC and routing protocols + Cross-layer design for energy efficient MAC and routing. + Cross-layer design for mobility management. + Cross-layer design for QoS provisioning. + Cross-layer design for security and cooperation. + Cross-layer congestion control and scheduling schemes. + Cross-layer design and optimization in Internet of Things (IoTs) and smart grid. + Cross-layer strategies for wireless multimedia communications. + Cross-layer error and delay control. + Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity. + Complexity and scalability issues in cross-layer design. + Performance optimization for cross-layer design of wireless networks. + Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless networks. + Application layer adaptation-based on cross-layer notifications. + Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results.

Recently, usable security receives a growing amount of attention in industry and from academia. This covers, for instance, novel pairing and security schemes for pervasive systems where identity cues are provided from sensor information as well as the discussion of novel sensor modalities or secure processing methodologies. The offensive side includes attacks on existing security mechanisms as well as entropy and statistical analysis of key sequences. It is therefore the goal of this workshop to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches are presented and discussed. Thus, we like to encourage practioners and scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific requirements; showing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which need not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These may be related to novel and convenient techniques for key generation and pairing, discussions on entropy and statistical properties of sensor- generated random sequences but also novel applications and designs of usable security systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Novel usable security mechanisms in the field of pervasive computing * Biometric and context-based authentication and pairing schemes, e.g., based on gait, audio, video, usage patterns, haptics, RF … * Usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features * User studies in usable security * Attacks on security schemes * Privacy functionality and design for ubiquitous systems * Fuzzy cryptography in security systems * Quantization approaches * Lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable and pervasive security * User experience in mobile security * Security schemes for sharply resource limited devices in Pervasive and IoT environments * Privacy and anonymization aspects in usable security * Novel interfaces fostering usable security * Entropy estimation and statistical analysis for keys generated from usably secure systems * Edge-support for usable security on resource limited pervasive devices * Lightweight security solutions * Biometrics on resource-limited devices * Ethics and legal considerations in usable security * Detection and prevention of attacks on usably secure systems * Authentication and access control for usably secure systems * Trust in usable security * Orchestration and collaboration between devices in usable security * Quantization approaches ## Organizers: Sascha Fahl, Leibnitz University Hannover, Germany Dominik Schuermann, TU Braunschweig, Germany Stephan Sigg, Aalto University, Finland [View Less]

Yet, several studies have shown that smart devices are frequently co-located in proximity to at least one other device throughout the day, suggesting that devices can potentially collaborate to reduce the effort of resource intensive tasks, e.g., sensing, offloading, networking, storage, etc. However, merging the resources of multiple devices to work together is a tough challenge as it requires a common understanding of the context of each device. In addition, since smart devices function in multiple roles, understanding what really constitutes context becomes difficult as different types of contexts need to be modeled depending on the type of task. - Context information is critical in multi device setups, e.g., for the formation of collaboration groups, and for negotiating responsibilities between the devices. Any misunderstandings in context can thus be extremely counterproductive for the collaboration between devices. Consider, for example, a computational task, e.g., game puzzle, whose execution can be accelerated by dividing computations between two or more devices. To distribute the task, we first need to understand the processing capacity of each device to ensure devices with insufficient resources are not harnessed for this task as they would turn into bottleneck for execution. By detecting the context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. - The goal of PerCrowd 2018 is to explore the impact of context in collaborative and opportunistic computing. More in detail, the goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within a community of devices for optimizing their energy and performance. - Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and collaborative self-organization of devices are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. - Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware collaborative systems and applications - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications - Opportunistic context modeling - Pervasive computing applications harnessing multiple devices - Data-driven techniques for community formation - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Crowdsensing and crowdsourcing models for data acquisition and fusion - Applications of crowdsensed models, e.g., incentive models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for collaborative systems - Lessons and experiences of evaluating multi device context-aware systems and applications - Emerging applications for multi device environments. - - PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ - Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. - Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2018 Workshop Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required.

It envisions a three-tier architecture that highly distributed and heterogeneous sensor data will be collected through a gateway and be made available to the Internet, and be readily accessible to a wide range of applications. Today, with an ever-increasing number and type of Internet-of-Thing devices, as well as the increasing demands being placed on the end user, sensing platform, and computing and storage infrastructure, more is being asked of engineers, designers, and scientists. Signal processing is playing an increasingly substantial role in this domain, including such general topics as analyzing, summarizing, and protecting signals and information exchanged or shared by connected things. The diversity of these problems requires a more collaborative effort from engineers and scientists from a diverse set of specialties – and yet, there is no one real domain for which to publish and communicate to this general community. The impact to society is massive, including such broad aspects as (i) energy efficiency and accuracy, (ii) security and privacy considerations, (iii) big data application. How will signal processing advance today’s autonomous networked sensor/device into inter-connected ones in an energy efficient, secure and privacy-preserving manner? How to leverage today’s pervasive cloud and network infrastructure to foster more intriguing applications with more demanding signal processing, machine learning techniques? There are clearly new and emerging challenges that need to be addressed. This special issue invites well thought-out tutorial-style surveys and overviews of recent research and development in Internet-of-Things, covering their infrastructure support and applications including edging and cloud computing, wireless networking, mobile computing, ubiquitous sensing, machine learning, security, and automotive navigation. As such, this special issue aims to cover a wide variety of aspects with a focus of the enabling and synergistic roles that signal processing plays. The scope of this special issue is interdisciplinary and seeks collaborative contributions from academia and industrial experts in the areas of computer system, wireless networking, embedded system, signal processing, security, and machine learning/data mining.

They are now characterized by numerous smart technologies that include sensors, wireless standards, and data analytics. Referred to as Automotive and Aerospace Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), these CPSes are going through massive transformation for increasing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of their operations. These CPSes consist of interconnected systems of heterogeneous components, which are always on, can operate autonomously and interact with the physical world seamlessly through their sensors. For instance, a commercial aircraft or a driverless car includes thousands of interior and exterior sensors and actuators on board to provide more efficient and reliable services. Similarly, many new communication standards have emerged within the last few years to provide communication among these sensors and actuators for various application scenarios. Manufacturers can now collect huge amounts of data through these sensors to apply real-time operations and accurately determine any hardware/software/communication failures. Nonetheless, the cyberspace of these automotive and aerospace CPSes provides numerous opportunities for malicious actors threatening the security and privacy of the vehicles/airplanes and their applications. Unprotected or improperly protected systems can be easily exploited for malicious use. Indeed, the automotive and aerospace CPSes are under the constant threat of an increasing number of cyber attacks through the sensory or wireless channels, hardware, software, or actuators. Given the growing number of security and privacy threats to the automotive and aerospace CPS, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications in automotive and aerospace fields can cause enormous damage to individuals and businesses. Therefore, this special issue of Journal of Hardware and Systems Security (HaSS) focuses on state-of- the-art research in the security and privacy of automotive and aerospace CPS. It seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions, and approaches to the cyber security challenges faced by the automotive and aerospace CPSes. Submissions may represent any security and privacy related topic for the automotive and aerospace CPS. Example topics of interest are listed below. TOPICS OF INTEREST: The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: • Hardware level security for automotive or aerospace CPS • Secure hardware extensions for automotive or aerospace CPS • Trusted computing modules/platforms for aerospace and automotive CPS • Secure automotive or aerospace CPS architectures • Authentication mechanisms for automotive or aerospace CPS • Access control for automotive or aerospace CPS • Key management in automotive or aerospace CPS • Data security and privacy for automotive or aerospace CPS • Forensics for automotive or aerospace CPS • Intrusion detection for automotive or aerospace CPS • Trusted-computing in automotive or aerospace CPS • Energy-efficient and secure automotive or aerospace CPS • Availability, recovery and auditing for automotive or aerospace CPS • Distributed secure solutions for automotive or aerospace CPS • Block-chain based applications for automotive or aerospace CPS • Threat models for automotive or aerospace CPS • Physical layer security for automotive or aerospace CPS • Security on heterogeneous automotive or aerospace CPS • Secure protocol design in automotive or aerospace CPS • Vulnerability analysis of automotive or aerospace CPS • Anonymization in automotive or aerospace CPS • Security of automotive or aerospace embedded systems • Security of Internet-of-Things in automotive or aerospace CPS • Hardware-supported solutions for computing system protection • SoC design for highly-secure automotive or aerospace CPS • SoC security validation for automotive or aerospace CPS protection • Cross-layer hardware/software attacks and protections on automotive or aerospace CPS • Hardware-supported trustworthy automotive or aerospace CPS design • Hardware security primitives including PUFs and Public PUFs for automotive or aerospace CPS • Software level attacks on automotive or aerospace CPS leveraging hardware vulnerabilities • Trusted computing platforms for smart devices in automotive or aerospace CPS • Datacenter security challenges for automotive or aerospace CPS infrastructure • Formal verification for trusted hardware platform for automotive or aerospace CPS • Trade-offs in automotive or aerospace CPS between security, privacy, performance, and energy constraints Given that the goal of the issue is to provide an authoritative starting point for future research, we encourage authors to provide a comprehensive description of related research and state of practice.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "JeongGil (John) Ko" <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 22. September 2017 01:41:27 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] ACM HotMobile 2018 Call for Papers The 19th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2018) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 13-14 February, 2018 Tempe, Arizona, USA ACM HotMobile 2018, the Nineteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing … [View More]Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a "6-page conference paper". We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness HCI issues related to mobile computing Security and privacy of mobile computing Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. The deadline for submissions is October 12, 2017, 11:59pm EST. Acceptance notification will go out on December 15, 2017. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2018 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.

Recently, as the future vision of urban development, smart city is attracting growing attention from both academia and industry. In particular, incorporating various information and communication technologies, smart city aims to offer many smart services (e.g., smart parking, smart street lighting, smart journey planning) for people. However, to achieve this goal, on the one hand, there are many issues to be coped with. For example, from the perspective of data, a variety of data generated by our city needs to be collected accurately, stored securely, and processed efficiently. On the other hand, with emerging computing technologies (e.g., social computing, edge computing, fog computing), there might also be new paradigms regarding smart city. Therefore, to address the challenges and outlook of smart city, this special issue solicits original technical papers with novel contributions on the challenges/outlook of smart city. Tutorial or survey papers are also welcome. For each submission, the review process will begin immediately once the submission is received and the final decision will be made within 3 months.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2018) - co-located with IEEE Percom 2018 Datum: Thu, 14 Sep 2017 10:45:47 +0200 Von: Luca Bedogni <luca.bedogni4(a)UNIBO.IT> Antwort an: Luca Bedogni <luca.bedogni4(a)UNIBO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------… [View More]---------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IEEE IQ2S-2018) (in conjunction with IEEE Percom 2018) March 19-23, 2018, Athens, Greece http://www.cs.unibo.it/projects/iq2s-2018 **** Paper Submission Deadline --- November 11, 2017 **** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Pervasive computing provides an exciting paradigm for supporting anywhere anytime services, and is built on the tremendous advances made in a broad spectrum of technologies including wireless communication, wireless and sensor networking, mobile and distributed computing, as well as signal and information processing. Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move. This data collection paradigm is often called crowdsensing, or crowdsourcing, and builds upon the willingness of users to share data together, which eventually gets aggregated to provide novel services to the community. Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI and QoE provisioning in pervasive computing and mobile crowdsensing are solicited. Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of QoI and QoE include: Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural principles Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification QoI-aware wireless sensor networking Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing for task mapping and scheduling Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration) Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and QoS QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and evaluation QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Energy efficiency in crowdsensed services and applications Protocols enhancement for crowdsensed services Social Internet of things Big data semantic Data science for crowdsensed services Opportunistic crowdsensed services Rewarding mechanism for crowdsensed services Crowdsensed testbeds and platforms Fog computing for IoT Heterogeneous data aggregation NLP techniques for crowdsensed services Machine learning techniques for data aggregation Machine learning techniques for data classification Privacy for crowdsensed data User behavior classification from public data User activity recognition User profiling Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).
