But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, and the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to identify and explore novel wireless communication technologies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda. Scope -------------------- The workshop will consist of a keynote and presentations of research papers. The keynote will be given by Xia Zhou, Dartmouth College, USA. Full papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages. The workshop also accepts short papers of a maximum length of two pages, presenting preliminary technical results. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + mm-wave communication + magnetic induction communication + terahertz communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + molecular communication + communication through physical vibration + acoustic communication + new platforms + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks for novel communication technologies + applications for novel wireless communication methods Please ask the workshop chair if you are uncertain if your topic fits, email: domenico.giustiniano (at) imdea.org Important Dates: -------------------- Paper Submission (final deadline): October 28, 2016 Paper Notification: December 1, 2016 Organization -------------------- Workshop Chair: Domenico Giustiniano, IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain TPC: Carlo Alberto Boano, TU Graz, Austria Paolo Casari, IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain Giorgio Corbellini, Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Omprakash Gnawali, University of Houston, US Yusung Kim, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea Dimitrios Koutsonikolas, University at Buffalo, USA Zhenjiang Li, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Michael Brandon Rahaim, Boston University, USA Andrew Markham, The University of Oxford, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, TU Delft, The Netherlands Ashwin Ashok, Carnegie Mellon University, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ------------------------------------------------------------------- a workshop hosted by International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks February 20. – 22. 2017, Uppsala, Sweden http://bit.ly/NextMote17 Call for Papers Aim -------------------- The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". This workshop would like to ask the question: what comes after motes and smartphones for the communication and computation needs in the world of IoT and remote distributed sensing. What will be the NextMote platform? Some challenges will remain: prolonging the lifetime of the network nodes, minimizing the power consumption, providing sufficient communications and processing power. What are the next challenges and how to meet them, for example, the challenges due to minimizing the size of the devices, increasing the number of nodes dramatically, and sensing large streams of data in resource constrained environment. How to survive extreme environments and applications while doing no harm, such as NextMotes on and in the human body, volcano, or space. The workshop raises these questions in the terms of novel hardware platform and associate firmware and software design and development, for prototyping and for end-user systems. Scope -------------------- The workshop will consist of a keynote, presentations of short papers and an open discussion session. The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding architectures, design methods or tools for the novel NextMote platforms. The workshop focuses on the aspects related to platform design in the context of NextMote. Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Active or opportunistic mobility for NextMotes: riding on humans, animals, drones, drifting + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions -------------------- Papers must be submitted online via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nextmote2017 Formatting requirements.

CFP: IEEE T-SIPN Special Issue on Distributed Signal Processing for Security and Privacy in Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
by Arash Mohammadi 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Dear All, On behalf of the Guest Editors, I would like to invite you to consider contributing to the following Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks (T-SIPN) entitled "Distributed Signal Processing for Security and Privacy in Networked Cyber-Physical Systems". Details are as follow: GUEST EDITORS: - Arash Mohammadi, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, arash.mohammadi(a)concordia.ca - Peng Cheng, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, - Vincenzo Piuri, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy, - Konstantinos N. Plataniotis, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, - Patrizio Campisi, Universita´ degli Studi Roma Tre, Italy, SCOPE: The focus of this special issue is on distributed information acquisition, estimation, and adaptive learning for security and privacy in the context of networked cyber-physical systems (CPSs) which are engineering systems with integrated computational and communication capabilities that interact with humans through cyber space. The CPSs have recently emerged in several practical applications of engineering importance including aerospace, industrial/manufacturing process control, multimedia networks, transportation systems, power grids, and medical systems. The CPSs typically consist of both wireless and wired sensor/agent networks with different capacity/reliability levels where the emphasis is on real-time operations, and performing distributed,secure, and optimal sensing/processing is the key concern. To satisfy these requirements of the CPSs, it is of paramount importance to design innovative “Signal Processing” tools to provide unprecedented performance and resource utilization efficiency. A significant challenge for implementation of signal processing solutions in CPSs is the difficulty of acquiring data from geo- graphically distributed observation nodes and storing/processing the aggregated data at the fusion center (FC). As such, there has been a recent surge of interest in development of distributed and collaborative signal processing technologies where adaptation, estimation, and/or control are performed locally and communication is limited to local neighborhoods. Distributed signal processing over networked CPSs, however, raise significant privacy and security concerns as local observations are being shared by neighboring nodes in a collaborative and iterative fashion. On one hand, applications of CPSs are severely safety critical where potential cyber and physical attacks by adversaries on signal processing modules could lead to a variety of severe consequences including customer information leakage, destruction of infrastructures, and endangering human lives. On the other hand, the need for cooperation be- tween neighboring nodes makes it imperative to prevent the disclosure of sensitive local information during distributed information fusion step. At the same time, efficient usage of available resources (communication, computation, bandwidth, and energy) is a prerequisite for productive operation of the CPSs. To accommodate these critical aspects of CPSs, it is of great practical importance and theoretical significance to develop advanced “Secure and Privacy Preserving Distributed Signal Processing” solutions. The spirit and wide scope of distributed signal processing in revolutionized CPSs calls for novel and innovative techniques beyond conventional approaches to provide precise guarantees on security and privacy of CPSs. The objective of this special issue is to further advance recent developments of distributed signal processing to practical aspects of CPSs for real-time processing and monitoring of the underlying system in a secure and privacy preserving manner while avoiding degradation of the processing performance and preserving the valuable resources. To provide a systematic base for future advancements of CPSs, this special issue aims to provide a research venue to investigate distributed signal processing techniques with adaptation, cooperation, and learning capabilities which are secure against cyber-attacks and protected against privacy leaks.

CfP - Workshop on Communication Security - affiliated with EUROCRYPT 2017
by Marco Baldi 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) 2nd Workshop on Communication Security (WCS 2017) affiliated with EUROCRYPT 2017 Paris (France), April 30, 2017 https://wcs17.wordpress.com/ CALL FOR PAPERS =================================== In the last few years we have seen a rising interest and dialogue between two distinct approaches to security: the well-established field of cryptography and the recently explored field of physical-layer (or information-theoretic) security. The two approaches are based on different assumptions and have developed their own performance metrics and methodologies, as well as their own implemented solutions. A seminal work by Bellare, Tessaro and Vardy in 2012 plays the role of a Rosetta Stone by putting side by side metrics and languages of the two fields and establishing a bridge between them. Furthermore, engineers have been studying how to integrate solutions from both fields in their products rather than relying exclusively on one of the two, confirming the interest in bridging the two approaches. This workshop aims at getting together experts from both fields to continue this promising joint research path of physical-layer security and cryptography. The one-day event will include the presentation of peer-reviewed papers and two prominent keynote talks by Jean-Claude Belfiore (Telecom ParisTech), and by Stefano Tessaro (University of California, Santa Barbara). Contributions are solicited on topics including (but not limited to): - Semantic security for the wiretap channel - Coding strategies for semantic security - Adversarial wiretap channels - Joint physical layer-cryptography solutions for secure wireless communications - Cross-disciplinary solutions for authentication - Secure cross-layer design techniques - Physical-layer enhanced cryptography Prospective authors are invited to submit novel, previously unpublished scientific contributions for peer review at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcs2017 Contributions will be published as chapters of a Springer book in the LNEE series. More details can be found on the WCS2017 website: https://wcs17.wordpress.com/ Important dates: Submission deadline: 12 December 2016 Notification: 20 January 2017 Final papers: 17 February 2017 Workshop: 30 April 2017 Organizing Committee: Dr. Elizabeth A. Quaglia, Huawei Technologies, France (lizquaglia(a)gmail.com) Prof. Stefano Tomasin, University of Padova, Italy (tomasin(a)dei.unipd.it) Dr. Marco Baldi, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy (m.baldi(a)univpm.it)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Gesendet: 12. Oktober 2016 02:09:08 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiSys'17 CFP ACM MobiSys'17 Call for Papers =============================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2017/ MobiSys 2017 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems * Innovative mobile, mobile sensing, and mobile crowdsourcing apps * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems * Innovative wearable or mobile devices * Novel software architectures for mobile devices * Data management for mobile applications * Infrastructure support for node mobility * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Operating systems for mobile devices * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web * Security and privacy in mobile systems * Systems for location and context sensing and awareness * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * Vehicular and robotic wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Systems and networking support for Virtual and Augmented Reality * Applications of mobile systems in health, sustainability, and other domains * Non-traditional topics that bring new perspective to mobile computing Papers on work that is currently under review, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Submissions will be single blind, i.e., reviewers will be anonymous and submissions should include authors' names and institutions. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. ACM has been making an effort to support more open access to the proceedings of its sponsored conferences. As a result, the MobiSys 2017 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Best Paper Award ================== All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference. Video Presentation =================== The authors of each accepted paper will submit a short 1-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. A selected set may be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. Important Dates ================= - Abstract registration deadline: December 1, 2016, 11:59PM EST (Dec 1, 2016, 04:59AM UTC) - Paper submission deadline: December 8, 2016, 11:59PM EST (Dec 8, 2016, 04:59AM UTC) - Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2017 - Camera-ready due: May 9, 2017 Contact ========= If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Campbell (campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu) and Deepak Ganesan (dganesan(a)cs.umass.edu). ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, expanding the scope of research endeavours and allowing civic issues to be addressed, without the need to purchase specialized sensors or install and maintain network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources, and may allow the data to come from previously inaccessible locations and contexts. > > This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users who contribute sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII). Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large-scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches which involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. > > CASPer 2017 provides a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing and crowdsourcing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extension: Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Datum: Sat, 8 Oct 2016 18:35:11 -0400 Von: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies Journal. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement due to cross posting. CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Submission Deadline: 15/11/2016 Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. Aim and Scope: ------------------- Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network clos! er to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, certain challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). This Special Issue aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance as well as to seek for novel contributions that help mitigating the corresponding research challenges. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this Special Issue include but are not limited to: • FMEC real-time communication interfaces and protocols. • FMEC efficient communication techniques. • FMEC and D2D communication • FMEC security and privacy issues. • FMEC pricing and billing models. • FMEC support for VANETs and MANETs • Cloudlet based computing • Identification of incentives for FMEC service providers. • The future perspective for FMEC: Challenges and Open Issues. • FMEC Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques. • FMEC architecture features and evolution. • FMEC resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability. • FMEC resources monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism. • FMEC resources allocation and management. • Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. • FMEC virtualization. • Information Centric Networking (ICN) and FMEC • Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform. • Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of FMEC. • Security protocols in FMEC. Coherent list of topics: -------------------------- Papers must be tailored to the emerging fields of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing and explicitly consider recent deployments models, challenges and novel solutions. The Guest Editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ett) according to the timetable below.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Access Journal --Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks Datum: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 19:44:11 +0800 Von: Kan Zheng <zkan(a)BUPT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Kan Zheng <zkan(a)BUPT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access on Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks Submission Deadline: Nov 1, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/communication-control-computati… IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication, Control and Computation Issues in Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks. The automotive industry has recently shifted from developing advanced vehicles to concentrating on safety and comfort; which stimulates the development of new intelligent vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems and even autonomous driving. However, the current technology development is still far from the practical requirements of autonomous driving. This is because the existing control approaches are mainly based on expensive sensors and cameras employed in the vehicle that hinder the development and popularization of intelligent vehicles. Thanks to wireless communication networks, vehicles can be connected and communicate to each other. Thus, the control of vehicles will become more reliable and cost-efficient with the communication between vehicles. Therefore, cooperatively controlling vehicles by employing reliable communications has become one of key research issues in the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication networks. Due to the high mobility of vehicles and the dynamic change of the network topology, it is difficult to provide satisfied services only through a single wireless access network, such as the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) or the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Hence, to provide ubiquitous networks, Heterogeneous Vehicular Networks may well support the communication, control and computation requirements of intelligent vehicles. However it faces multiple critical challenges in designing efficient and flexible resource allocation algorithms since this requires the joint design and optimization of both communication, computing and control theory. This will play a very important role in the development of next generation intelligent vehicular networks. The goal of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to provide the most recent research and developments on the enabling technologies for heterogeneous vehicular networks and to stimulate discussions on state-of-the-art and innovative aspects in the field. This Special Section focuses on advanced communication and control techniques for intelligent vehicles. Original research and review articles are encouraged. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): --Heterogeneous vehicular network architectures and services --Performance evaluation of radio technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Control protocol design in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Autonomous driving control technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Resource allocation and control in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Vehicle social networks in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Mobile cloud computing in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Software-Defined Networking(SDN) for supporting reliable control --Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Efficient Big Data analysis in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Mobile sensing networking in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Dynamic spectrum access technologies in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Urban sensing for environment monitoring in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Security, privacy and trust in heterogeneous vehicular networks --Testbed platform ! and field trials in heterogeneous vehicular networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP - JSAC Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies in Software-driven Communication" Datum: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 09:55:44 +0200 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers -------------------- IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) - Special Issue on Emerging Technologies in Software-driven Communication Scope --------- Computer networks fundamentally changed the way we communicate and interact with each other. In fact, they now form the backbone of our modern societies. While early networks were merely a mechanism for exchanging data between end-hosts, current computer and telecommunication networks are way more than that. Compared to the early days of the networking not only the hardware of networks has changed fundamentally, but with it also the software deployed to control and manage these networks. To reduce the significant management cost of large networks, automated management, including autonomic computing and communications evolved. In addition, one fairly recent trend with strong impact on the network architecture was the emergence of cloud computing, with the promise of inherent scalability, availability, and better resource utilization. This led to a centralization of (virtual) network functions in data centers with clear cost benefits, but at the same time introducing new limitations. To address these limitations, some intelligence of the control plane is being shifted from the inner network nodes and data centers to the edge of the network, which is then referred to as edge or fog computing. At the same time, the network control logic moved from lower into higher layers, i.e., from hardware into software. This special issue will address these developments and the technical challenges they present, thereby putting a spotlight on the technology areas covered by 3 of ComSoc’s Emerging Technology Sub-Technical Committees, namely issues in Autonomic Communication, Software-Defined Networks (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), as well as Cloud Communications and Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following categories: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Autonomic communication - Self-management of networks, in particular of SDNs and VNF - Automatic testing, integration, and deployment of (Virtual) Network Functions - Self-optimization based on network Big Data - Autonomic Operation and Business support systems - Autonomic and distributed security functions SDN and NFV - Operational results on studies related to SDN/NFV - Novel applications and services, including security services, using SDN/NFV - Software-based architectures for access networks - SDN-based architectures and platforms for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) - SDN/NFV enabling next generation networks, e.g., 5G - Traffic engineering and QoS/QoE in SDNs/NFVs Cloud communication and networking - Mobile cloud architectures & models - Distributed cloud, edge-cloud, mobile edge-cloud, fog computing, all supporting low latency services - Emerging services and analytics for cloud communication - Public/private cloud networking for SDN/NFV support - Security mechanisms in/for large and distributed cloud environments Submission guidelines -------------------------------- Only papers submitted that are in accordance with the general submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) will be considered (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review). We are looking for one broad tutorial paper in each of the three sub-areas plus several focused papers per area addressing specific research challenges. Thus, two types of papers can be submitted: - Normal paper of at maximum 8 pages IEEE double column style - Tutorial paper of at maximum 10 pages IEEE double column style Per category, up to two pages can be added with over-length charges of $220 per over-length page. Upon request, a paper can be made open access for an additional fee of 1750$. All papers must be submitted through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info).

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 2. Oktober 2016 10:29:24 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (Impact Factor=4.7) -- Special Section on "Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Resources: Information and Communication Technologies with Industry Perspective" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. "Smart Grid and Renewable Energy Resources: Information and Communication Technologies with Industry Perspective" Submission Deadline: Dec 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ THE THEME ---------------- The naturally replenished inexhaustible energy that exists all around us in the ambient environment is often referred as renewable energy. Though this type of energy can be present in any form, it can only be converted into electrical energy through appropriate hardware. The potential renewable energy resources include light, wind, vibration, heat, biofuel, biomass, and tides. It is envisaged that the use of renewable energy will reduce the use of primary energy in future and this trend will continue in order to reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases. The abundance of these renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) at consumer side may help to develop distributed renewable energy generation at a large scale. The DERs will likely be an integral part of the future electric grid i.e., the smart grid. A prominent feature of the smart grid is that it allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers through information and communication technologies! (ICTs). In this special section, we seek new and unpublished work in the domain of information and communication technologies with an industry perspective in the domain of Smart Grid systems with emphasis on the integration of renewable energy resources. More specifically, this special section will focus on recent developments in the smart grid and its integration with renewable energy resources. TOPICS ----------- The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Integration of renewable energy resources (RERs) with smart grid (SG) - Information and communication technologies supporting smart grid with RERs - Industry perspective on smart grid with RERs - Communication architectures and networking protocols for SG with RERs - Standardization activities for SG with RERs - Security and privacy issues for SG with RERs - Future perspective on SG with RERs - Resource management in SG with RERs - Delay sensitive and multimedia communication in SG with RERs - Optimization methods for distributed energy management systems - Electric vehicles as grid energy storage - Integration of solar energy into smart grids - Spatial load forecasting for micro-grids and virtual power plants - Energy load and prize forecasting in SG with RERs - Energy forwarding networks in SG with RERs - Energy storage and off-grid energy storage techniques - Case studies on integration of green computing with SG with RERs MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE IoT Journal SI on Fog Computing in IoT - Manuscript deadline extended to Nov. 30, 2017 Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 14:07:44 -0400 Von: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Wei Cheng <wcheng3(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers - Manuscript Submission Deadline Extended to Nov. 30, 2017 IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL Special Issue on Fog Computing in the Internet Of Things Background and Motivation: Fog Computing is an emerging research area that targets on providing services and satisfying customers’ needs in the space between “Ground” and “Cloud”. In the current cloud-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) model, smart devices (such as sensors, smartphones) exchange information through the Internet (routers and/or servers on cloud) to cooperate and provide services to users, which could be citizens, smart home systems, and industrial applications. Even though the cloud based IoT model describes a uniform, concise, and scalable solution for supporting IoT applications, the deployments of IoT applications on cloud, however, are facing the challenges originated from economic considerations, social concerns, technical limitations, and administrative issues. In real world, things (which could be cheap sensors) generate lots of data. Moving these big data from the network edge (end networking devices) to the network core (cloud computing servers) and vis verse naturally brings the following issues: (i) it is expensive for moving the big data through the Internet; (ii) the cost is prohibitively high when storing the big data on clouds; (iii) the Internet access may be unavailable, unreliable, and slow; (iv) the Internet access might be congested by the big data transmissions; (v) the Internet based transmissions may increase the probability of information leakage; (vi) the large number of things, which may have less or no security protection, may be easily utilized by hackers to start DDoS attacks; (vii) the administrative team may question the security, the easiness, and the availability of managing the big data saved on clouds. On the other hand, clouds may not be always necessary for implementing IoT solutions. For instances: (i) data generated by things may only be valuable for a group of users who are closely located; (ii) existing infrastructures may still be good and scaling up could be achieved by local resource sharing; and (iii) local mass data storage is already sufficient; etc. There is no doubt that the big data generated by things is surprisingly useful. Fog consists of all the smart computing/sensing systems that are around us, tied together. Typically, it includes a small data center that is placed close to the things in IoT. Fog computing is probably the most promising technology to support IoT applications while simultaneously and successfully addressing all the aforementioned challenges and issues. It adds a new dimension to IoT model for meeting the customers’ needs such as fast connection, high security, easy for management, infrastructure reuse, off load core network traffic, and scale quickly. Fog Computing are expected to support a wide range of IoT applications, including device-to-device data sharing, wearable cognitive assistance, video editing and sharing, vehicular systems, and etc. To address the arising new challenges and opportunities, we plan this feature topic issue to help both industry and academia research communities better understand the recent advances and potential research directions on the converging paths of IoT and Fog Computing. The papers in this feature topic issue will focus on the state-of-the-art research and the grant challenges in various aspects of Fog Computing for IoT. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to the following: • Future services for Internet of Things via Fog Computing services and solutions • Fog Computing architecture for IoT • Technologies for supporting Fog Computing for IoT • IoT Business models for Fog Computing applications in IoT • QoS for Fog Computing and IoT services • Security and privacy for Fog Computing in IoT • Fog Computing management tools and services for IoT • Fog Computing for mobile health and augmented cognition • Data-centric approaches in Fog Computing for IoT • Network Function Virtualization for Fog Computing in IoT • Software Defined Networking for Fog Computing in IoT • Virtualization security and management for Fog Computing in IoT • Programming models and toolkits for Fog Computing in IoT • Mobility and connectivity for Fog Computing in IoT • Deployment and optimization of Fog Computing for IoT • Current and future standardization for Fog Computing in IoT • Load balancing and service selection in Fog Computing for IoT • Interactions between the Fog and the Cloud for IoT Manuscript Submission All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.
