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. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings as well as from the IEEE Xplore. - - IMPORTANT DATES _______________ - Abstract Registration: October 21, 2017 Submission Deadline: October 29, 2017 Acceptance Notification: December 23, 2017 Camera Ready due: January 12, 2018 Workshop: March 19 - - ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ____________________ - Program Committee Chairs - Huber Flores (University of Helsinki, Finland) - Pan Hui (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong) - Vassilis Kostakos (The University of Melbourne, Australia) - Workshop Web Chair - Rajesh Sharma (Institute of Computer Science, University of Tartu, Estonia) - Publicity Chairs - Aaron Yi Ding (Technical University of Munich, Germany) - Chu Luo (The University of Melbourne, Australia) - - For more information, please check out percrowd.blogspot.com ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The next generation of computing and networking will utilize a wide variety of resources with significant sensing capabilities. Such computing and networking will extend beyond physically linked computers to include multimodal information from biological, cognitive, semantic, and social networks. This paradigm shift will involve symbiotic networks of human (social networks), intelligent devices, and mobile portable devices (e.g., smart phones, PDAs, iPads), that will form Cyber-Physical-Social Computing and Networking (CPSCN). These devices and the network will be constantly sensing, monitoring, and interpreting the environment, which is referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). The symbiosis of IoT and social networks will have significant implications for both the market for advanced computing and communication infrastructure and future markets – for approximately 5 billion people — that CPSCN will create. Many researchers have paid much attention to CPSCN since it still faces many challenges (e.g., architecture, security, privacy, incentive mechanism, etc.). This Special Section in IEEE Access is inviting researchers who are working on related research areas to contribute high quality articles to present the most recent advances on emerging technologies in CPSCN, applications, architectures, and big data challenges. Both original practical work and review articles are welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectural, modeling and simulation of CPSCN - Incentives mechanism design for CPSCN - Routing protocol, data dissemination and offloading algorithms design for CPSCN - Security, privacy and trust for CPSCN - Community detection and network evolution analysis for CPSCN - Mobile social sensing for CPSCN - Social network analysis and social influence analysis for CPSCN - Big Data mining and analytics for CPSCN - Cloud computing and fog computing for CPSCN - Machine learning models and methods for CPSCN - Smart worlds, smart cities and smart medicines for CPSCN - Green computing and sustainable computing for CPSCN - Resource and service management, scheduling, and migration for CPSCN - New applications on CPSCN *Associate Editor:* Laurence T.

In 2018, IoTDI will be held for the third time and topics span the entire ecosystem revolving around IoT, such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, sensor networks, mobile devices, Internet architecture, middleware and numerous IoT applications. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPS Week. Plan to submit your best papers to ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 (deadline 2017/10/6) and see you in Orlando, Florida, in April 2018, where IoTDI will be co-located with IEEE IC2E. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring.

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 preseting 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [RED-IoT 2018] CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 00:18:57 -0400 Von: Zhi Sun <zhisun(a)BUFFALO.EDU> Antwort an: Zhi Sun <zhisun(a)BUFFALO.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers – RED-IoT 2018 “2nd Workshop on Recent advances in secure management of data and resources in the IoT” In-conjunction with EWSN 2018 Proceedings appear in ACM Digital Library February 14-16, 2018 in Madrid, Spain https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/red-iot.html <https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/red-iot.html> Keynote speech: Dr. Shahid Raza, director of the security lab at SICS, Sweden. Recent advances in the area of Internet-Connected Objects have revolutionized the everyday lives of people and the industrial world. The Internet of Things (IoT) has infused immense doses of "intelligence" in the physical world making the transition towards digitising everything. Nowadays, most devices around us are either connected to the IoT or are about to be. Physical objects are becoming intelligent through connected devices that are either attached to them or monitoring/controlling them. At a larger scale, cities are becoming smarter, embracing a plethora of technologies to enhance and improve the quality of everyday living. The evolution of traditional wireless sensor networks towards the IoT has introduced numerous opportunities for advanced and promising applications for citizens and industries. Many companies have recently launched "smart products" into the market, in every domain: home, automotive, agriculture, water, air, environment, etc. Most of these products are quite innovative and can be useful for improving and simplifying the lives of citizens, assisting them to their daily activities or contributing also to improving the municipal services and improving the quality of the environment we live. However, most of these products fail to address even simple challenges for security and privacy: they do not protect the data they gather and transmit, they do not use encrypted connections, they use simplistic credentials, etc. The IoT, though, raises significant challenges regarding security, and privacy. Having large numbers of connected devices deployed everywhere around us, e.g. in homes, offices, buses, on the street, monitoring the everyday activities of citizens raises issues regarding user privacy. Privacy issues exist not only when users are actively involved in IoT applications e.g. when sending data from their mobile phones, but also when they are subjects of monitoring by other devices, e.g. when they are being monitored by cameras on the streets. Devices that offer actuation capabilities, e.g. traffic lights, doors, windows, alarms and vehicles allow cyber-attacks to extend effects to the real world. Current centralized IoT solutions raise also security and privacy issues due to the single central point of gathering all data and mechanisms. To address this, lately, there is a shift of interest towards distributed or decentralized security solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the first RED-IoT workshop collocated with the IEEE CAMAD 2014 conference in Athens, Greece, December 2014. It aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in cross-layer issues in the areas of security, and privacy in the IoT. The goal is to present recent results of the research community, the industry and standardisation bodies and exchange ideas for joint research activities in the future. The workshop welcomes original submissions in the following topic areas: • Security and privacy by design architectures for IoT • Decentralized and distributed security architectures • Blockchain in the IoT • GDPR in the IoT • Intelligent, secure data processing, mining, fusion, storage, and management, context awareness, ambient intelligence • Secure wireless channel and traffic models • Physical layer security in the IoT • Secure spectrum management solutions for wireless IoT communications • Security of sensors and actuators • Security and privacy in IoT applications • Embedded security and privacy in IoT devices • Forensics for IoT • Privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT • Trust management IoT architectures • Lightweight security solutions • On-device authentication, authorization and access control in IoT • Big data security for IoT • Detection and prevention of IoT-based security attacks • Ethics and legal considerations in IoT. Submission Instructions and Formatting Requirements The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike. Full papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format). The workshop also accepts short position papers of a maximum length of two pages in the same format. Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25".

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.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE IoT Journal SI "Wireless Energy Harvesting for Internet of Things" Datum: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 11:40:48 +0800 Von: Jun HUANG <xiaoniuadmin(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Jun HUANG <xiaoniuadmin(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Wireless Energy Harvesting for Internet of Things The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, and smart vehicles) have been playing a vital role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), which bridges the gap between digital and physical spaces. The powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility make mobile device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than traditional wireless sensor networks. However, the energy issue of mobile terminals poses significant challenges to the widespread use of IoT: not only the mobile terminals have short lifetime with the proliferation of mobile applications, but also the current networking and communication technologies are not adequately taking the energy efficiency into account. Therefore, the sustainable issue of IoT has attracted considerable attention from both academia and industry. Wireless energy harvesting and transfer technology was recently proposed as an effective mean to address this issue. It enables the mobile terminals to harvest energy from the ambient environment to prolong its battery. Although some forms of energy harvesting have been applied to WSNs, networking and communication solutions must be redesigned for wireless powered IoT with massive number of mobile terminals. This special issue (SI) will bring together leading researchers and developers from both industry and academia to discuss and present their views on all the aspects of wireless energy harvesting in the IoT system. In light of the increasing interest of these topics, this SI will focus on, but will not be limited to, the following subjects of interest: l Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in IoT, l Secure IoT with wireless energy harvesting, l Relay-based wireless energy harvesting IoT systems, l MAC protocols for wireless energy harvesting and transfer in IoT, l Economics of wireless energy and data transmission, l Energy Efficient transmissions and network architecture, l Scheduling and optimization of both users for energy transfer and of data packets, l Hardware design and prototyping for SWIPT applications in IoT, l Interference aided wireless energy harvesting, l Waveform design and optimization for wireless power transfer, l Optimal Control for wireless energy transfer and harvesting, l Wireless power enabled machine-to-machine (M2M) and device-to-device (D2D) communications, l Optimal wireless power transfer enabled IoT transceiver architectures *Important Dates* Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2017; First Reviews Due: December 15, 2017; Revision Due: February 15, 2018; Second Reviews Due/Notification: March 15, 2018; Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2018; Publication Date: 2018 All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted online through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline Extension to The 1st ACM workshop FAILSAFE 2017 Datum: Mon, 14 Aug 2017 14:05:12 +0100 Von: michael.breza04(a)imperial.ac.uk An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -- Our sincere apologies if you receive duplicates of the call -- -- Deadline Extension -- ============================================== Dear Colleagues, The deadline for papers for the FAILSAFE workshop has been extended by one week to the 22nd of August, 2017. This workshop will be held concurrently with SenSys 2017. Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM FAILSAFE 2017. http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ We look forward to your submissions describing the challenges and struggles that you have faced and during real WSN deployments. Unique to this workshop, we will ask for submissions reporting the *failure* of actual embedded sensing system deployments complete with data where possible that can shed insight as to how the problems affected such sensor based systems and their goals. We want the failures, problems and glitches that wasted hours of researcher time; head scratching whilst trying to diagnose and fix subtle or unexpected bugs etc. This workshop focuses on the point at which the simulations and tests done in the lab are taken out into the field, and the previous assumptions fail. The overarching aim is to establish a process that encourages the refinement and development of a new science of sensor systems to enable reliable, maintainable deployments that last the life-times expected of them. The topic is important as the scientific problems that we face with IoT systems strike hard against the limits of our knowledge about how to organise, analyse, and adapt large, loosely-coupled, intercommunicating, and increasingly autonomous, distributed systems. This topic is timely because there is mounting pressure from various industries and government bodies to be able to place their trust in sensing based infrastructures for decision-making. This contention is supported by industry research showing the potential growth of the IoT sector. In this workshop we wish to: Share experiences of real IoT developments “in the wild”. Understand the differences between the theoretical performance of results and real +experiences. Map failure to causes and to explore the more and less obvious causalities. Produce a list of research findings and areas to prioritise for further investigation. The workshop scope includes: Real WSN/IOT etc. deployments that either experienced some, or ended in, failure, complete with data to show what failed and a detailed analysis of the causes of the failure and the lessons learned.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Approaching in 2 days : IEEE Internet of Things Journal SI on Theories and Applications of NB-IoT Datum: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 23:01:58 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Theories and Applications of NB-IoT Recently, demands for low-power wide-area (LPWA) machine-type communications have increased dramatically. It is expected that LPWA connections will reach 2 billion in 2020, exceeding the number of traditional cellular users. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), a new radio access technology, has been released by the Third Generation Partnership (3GPP) for such demands. It could be deployed inside Long Term Evolution (LTE) carrier, and thus will not incur extra deployment cost, requesting only 180 kHz bandwidth of LTE physical resource. NB-IoT supports super coverage extension, massive number of connections and long user lifetime with low power/cost and low device complexity. With such prominent features, NB-IoT has become one of the dominating technologies in LPWA area, applicable to a large range of IoT scenarios such as smart meter, smart parking, smart home, smart tracking, e-health, etc. However, NB-IoT is still in its infancy, needing deep theoretical investigation of modeling and optimizing system performance. Also, emerging applications that can be enabled by NB-IoT and implementation challenges therein need further exploration. The objective of this call is to bring recent progress in theory, and especially applications of NB-IoT that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call include, but are not limited to: ü Channel modeling of uplink and downlink in NB-IoT ü Throughput modeling of uplink and downlink in NB-IoT ü Resource management in NB-IoT ü Throughput optimization in NB-IoT ü Access control in NB-IoT ü Latency investigation in NB-IoT ü Joint optimization of NB-IoT and LTE ü Hardware design and optimization of NB-IoT ü System architectures for applications enabled by NB-IoT ü New application implementations by NB-IoT ü . The submissions must be original with significant contributions, and have not been under review in any other journals or conferences. The submissions will only be counted if they are submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot) and adheres to standard IEEE Internet of Things formatting requirements.

In most cases, vehicular accidents are caused by avoidable human error and improper driving practices. With recent advances in sensing technologies, self-driving, connected cars and autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more practicable. The sensor data contribution to the peer to peer (P2P) vehicle sharing system reduces occurrences of road accidents by the use of vehicle to vehicle (V2V) interaction, along with use of sensors for maintaining safe driving distances and pre-empting accidents. Sensor technology in connected cars also improves the overall driving experience by using vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) interaction. This enables warnings and precautions from a network of roadside units, functioning as stationary waypoints and relay warnings, precautions and information regarding availability of crucial services. Such information is particularly beneficial to users in remote areas where it cannot be obtained reliably through conventional communication channels. This Special Issue is focused on sensors and sensor systems for connected vehicles with emphasis on the whole range between modelling and applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Sensors for connected cars and autonomous vehicles • Emerging sensor technology for driverless cars • Sensors for Wireless On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) fleet management • Accurate Vehicle Location System Using Wireless Sensor Networks • Intra-Car Wireless Sensor Networks • Sensor interfaces for Peer to Peer (P2P) vehicle sensor data sharing • Sensor Interfaces for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) information exchange • Sensor interface compliance to communications protocols and standards, authentication and security requirements • Testing, evaluation and verification of sensor systems for connected cars • Safe, Secure and Infotainment Connected Cars • Anti-collision and alarming sensors, • Traffic regulation and transaction sensors • Sensor Data Processing • On-road video contents streaming delivery and traffic sensor management **Schedule** • *Submission deadline: July 15, 2017*, September 10, 2017 • Author notifications: October 20, 2017, December 15, 2017 • Final manuscripts due: December 15, 2017, January 20, 2017 • Publication: February 28, 2018 **Manuscript Submission** Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sensors by selecting "Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, SS on Fog Computing for Industrial Applications, Deadline 30 Nov. 2017 Datum: Sat, 12 Aug 2017 08:42:53 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics CALL FOR PAPERS for Special Section on "Fog Computing for Industrial Applications" The Theme: Due to the increased number of connected things in industrial applications, the growing volume and velocity of Internet of Things (IoT) data exchange urge for more and more communication resources, leading to the bottleneck in terms of data processing, data latency, and traffic overhead. Fog computing emerges, as an alternative for traditional cloud computing to support geographically distributed, latency sensitive, and QoS-aware IoT applications while reducing the burden of data centers in traditional cloud computing. In particular, fog computing with the features (e.g., low latency, location awareness, and capacity of processing large number of nodes with wireless access) to support heterogeneity and real-time applications is an attractive solution to delay- and resource-constraint large scale industrial applications. However, with the benefits of fog computing, the research challenges arise regarding fog computing for industrial applications. For instance, how to handle different protocols and data format from highly dissimilar data sources in fog layer? How to determine which data should be processed in cloud or be processed in fog layer? How to achieve real-time responses and simultaneous data collection from large heterogeneous sources in industrial applications? Motivated by the above issues, this special section solicits original research and practical contributions which advance the use of fog computing in industries. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. Surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are also considered. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: * Architecture features and evolution for fog computing in industries * Content and service distribution models for fog computing in industries * Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing in industries * Real-time communication interfaces and protocols for fog computing in industries * Energy aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing in industries * Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing in industries * Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing in industries * Security and privacy challenges for fog computing in industries * Testing and evaluation tools for fog computing in industries * Fog computing for real-time monitoring in industries * The future for fog computing in industries: challenges and open issues Manuscript Preparation and Submission Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions on-industrial-informatics .

Conf. on Embedded 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 preseting 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. Accepted contestants will have the chance to edit their abstract and submit a camera-ready version by the end of the competition's preparation phase. Accepted abstracts will appear in the ACM Digital Library, unless authors explicitly mark their submission as confidential.
