-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: MT-CPS'17: 2nd International Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems Datum: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:34:22 +0100 Von: Ayoub Nouri <ayoub.nouri(a)UNIV-GRENOBLE-ALPES.FR> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE MT-CPS'17 2nd International Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems Pittsburgh, PA, USA 21st April 2017 Co-located with CPS Week https://sites.google.com/asu.edu/mt-cps-2017 <https://sites.google.com/asu.edu/mt-cps-2017> <https://sites.google.com/asu.edu/mt-cps-2017> DESCRIPTION Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are integrations of heterogeneous collaborative entities that interact between themselves and with their physical environment. CPS exhibit complex and unpredictable behaviors, thus making their correctness and robustness analysis a challenging task. In order to address their full complexity, there is an emergent need for formal, yet efficient and scalable methods for the verification and analysis of CPS. Light-weight verification techniques, such as monitoring and testing, achieve both rigor and efficiency by enabling the evaluation of systems according to the properties of their individual behaviours. The MT CPS workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in the problems of detecting, testing, measuring and extracting qualitative and quantitative properties from CPS behaviors. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · Specification languages for monitoring and testing · Runtime verification and monitoring · Black-box and white-box testing · Measuring and statistical information gathering · Simulation-based verification and parameter synthesis · Diagnostics, error localization and repair · Combination of static and dynamic analyses · Applications and case studies WORKSHOP FORMAT MT CPS workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging the latest scientific trends between researchers and practitioners interested in the field of light-weight verification and analysis of CPS. As a consequence, the workshop will *NOT* have formal proceedings. We encourage submission of abstracts that address any of the aforementioned topics of interest and cover recently published results as well as work in progress.

The broad popularity and diffusion of innovative services and applications tailored at mobile users who are both service consumers and big data producers is also raising challenging research issues that require us to rethink available network and services technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader and ever growing user base and voluminous network traffic. Ubiquitous computing and communications has drawn significant interests from both academia and industry and continues to attract tremendous research efforts due to its promising new business opportunity in information technology and engineering. At their core, all models of ubiquitous computing share a vision of small, inexpensive, robust networked processing devices, distributed at all scales throughout everyday life and generally turned to distinctly common-place ends. This special issue discusses emerging trends on large-scale ubiquitous context analysis, management and value recreation. We are also interested in papers looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for ubiquitous computing along with the related fundamental issues. Finally, we will explore works on novel applications and real-world services (and practices as well). *Subject Coverage* Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Cloud computing support for ubiquitous services and applications - Data center architectures and protocols for ubiquitous data - Green communications models, architectures, and networking solutions considering edge cloud and mobile cloud - Ubiquitous self-* networks, services and applications - Content distribution networks for ubiquitous applications - Information centric networks - Social networking solutions for pervasive and mobile environments - Vehicular communications and vehicular ad-hoc networks - Wireless-enabled peer to peer services and applications - Internet of Things and M2M communications - Ubiquitous sensing (e.g. participatory sensing and crowd sourcing) - Context-aware middleware design, services and applications - Security, trust, and privacy in wireless/mobile communications - Cognitive radio networks (CRN) protocols, algorithms and implementation issues in ubiquitous context - UAV networks, delay-tolerant wireless networks - Software-defined wireless networks in ubiquitous context - Network function virtualisation in wireless networks *Notes for Prospective Authors* Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems Datum: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:28:53 -0500 Von: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Integration of embedded computing, sensing and wireless communication that has fueled the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), will also lead to the design and exploitation of a new generation of cooperating autonomous systems. The components of such systems will be high-end devices, such as autonomous machines, UAVs and robots, self-driving cars, virtual reality-based systems. Such systems pose new challenges to wireless networks, which have been traditionally designed for mobile broadband applications. Most current scenarios for device-to-device communications are based on the design and exploitation of simple sensor-actuator systems, and their architecture remains dependent on computation and battery limitations. Such constraints are not applicable for resource-rich advanced systems that must always perform at the highest levels of reliability, and may be tasked with demanding communication requirements for specialized missions and tasks, such as road-safety, disaster preventio n and management or focussed monitoring of sensitive sites and infrastructures. In fact, the interactions needed within such complex and comparatively large-scale systems will demand extremely low latency, significantly higher reliability, uniform and ubiquitous network availability, more power efficient designs, and sharp transient spikes in information exchange resulting from distributed cooperation. Furthermore, as humans may have an active or passive role within these systems, merging of human interaction and response times along with safety and exposure to cyberattacks must be jointly considered, e.g. in the automotive industry, where the threat of attack vectors in wireless communication using V2V/V2I/V2X paradigms, significantly increased life risks. This special issue will highlight emerging applications as well as enabling wireless communication and networking technologies and architectures to support future autonomous systems. Emphasis will be given to breakthrough research in device/network co-design solutions that efficiently integrate sensing, computing and communication and exploit context awareness at various levels to dramatically improve wireless network performance across multiple dimensions: ultra-low latency, high reliability, uniform availability, improved bandwidth and power efficiency. The special issue will also cover test-beds and demonstration of system design and development for such networks. Topics of Interest In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - Autonomous systems design and applications - Time sensitive networks for mission critical control systems - Network technologies and architectures for specialized high-end systems - 5G networks for mission critical applications - Context-aware networking protocol design - Specialized devices interactions and communication - V2X Communication for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) - Cooperative and synchronized self-driving vehicles - Privacy, safety and cyberattacks mitigation in COCOAS - Demonstrations and test-beds of autonomous distributed systems (e.g. autonomous vehicles, UAVs) - Simulation tools and experimental studies Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiCom?17 is Calling (Abstract Due: March 9, 2017; Submission Due: March 16, 2017) Datum: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:24:55 +0000 Von: Peng, Chunyi <chunyi(a)CSE.OHIO-STATE.EDU> Antwort an: Peng, Chunyi <chunyi(a)CSE.OHIO-STATE.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear folks, https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2017/ Mobicom’17 is calling! Here are some brief highlights for your attention! Mobicom’17 is not only calling for regular, full research papers (up to 12 pages) but also inviting submissions in Experience, Challenge and Verification categories (up to 8 pages). It is the first time to call for Verification papers at MobiCom’17! Paper tracks Regular: up to 12 pages excluding references Experience: up to 8 pages excluding references Challenge: up to 8 pages excluding references Verification: up to 8 pages excluding references (added at MobiCom’17) Important Dates Abstracts submission due: 5PM EST, March 9, 2017 Paper submissions due: 5PM EST, March 16, 2017 Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2017 Camera-ready due: July 17, 2017 ========== Here is A Full CFP ========== As the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless networking, MobiCom 2017 solicits full papers (limited to 12 pages excluding references) that focus on the system, practice, theory, and challenge of providing users with an enriched and ubiquitous mobile or wireless experience. At its core, we solicit papers that address important challenges in access/communication, energy, systems, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing. We strongly encourage papers on emerging mobile/wireless topics including but not limited to next generation (5G) mobile networks, internet of things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, novel access paradigms/modalities, smart devices, wearable computing, mobile data science/analysis, communications for embedded and energy harvesting systems, and the mobile web. We also invite papers that integrate mobile/wireless research with innovations in cloud computing and software defined networking. Successful papers will address real research challenges through rigorous analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions must describe original research not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. In addition to regular, full research papers, the conference also invites submission in the following categories: Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the MobiCom technical program committee, primarily for (i) the richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks as well as on the society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is not suitable as an experience paper. The selected experience papers will be a part of the MobiCom technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Experience:". Challenge Papers The conference also invites submissions of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom technical program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Challenge:". Verification Papers Finally, MobiCom welcomes contributions that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Such submissions should be short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. MobiCom strongly encourages authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support reproducibility of their methods. Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: • Full papers - Maximum of 12 pages excluding references (i.e. submissions may include as many additional pages as needed for references) • Experience/Challenge/Verification Papers - Maximum of 8 pages excluding references • Font size no smaller than 10 points Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any hyper-links. All submitted papers would be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs (atmobicom2017 "dot" tpcchairs "at" gmail "dot" com). Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the presentation. We will also have an award called the Best Community Paper Award. Among all accepted regular papers, the program committee will select one that contributes the most to the broader research community in terms of real data or new software/hardware or artifacts. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will be asked to 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 up to two weeks before the conference, and will be played during the conference. A selected set will be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. A Best Video Award will be given at the conference.
