The operation of modern electronic communication devices rely on constant energy sources such as DC power obtained from AC sources via AC to DC conversion or small chargeable/replaceable batteries. However, in some cases, providing constant energy source is not feasible. Due to the advancement in technology, energy harvesting technologies can be exploited to power-up the modern day electronic communication devices. These energy harvesting technologies rely on energy sources naturally present in the environment, such as solar energy, wind energy, and heat energy. Moreover, energy can also be acquired from the human body from movement of different parts of the body such as walking, heartbeat, movement of arms, just to name a few. All these energy harvesting technologies and techniques may satisfy the need of energy for low power communication devices and may enable the charging of electronic mobile devices anywhere and at any time. In this Special Section, we focus on the most recent advances in the interdisciplinary research areas encompassing the Energy Harvesting domain. This special section will bring together researchers from diverse fields and specializations, such as communications engineering, computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, bio-medical engineering, education sector, mathematics and specialists in the areas related to energy harvesting technologies. In this Special Section, we invite researchers from academia, industry, and governmental organizations to discuss challenging ideas, novel research contributions, demonstration results, and standardization efforts on the energy harvesting and related areas. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: - Battery Recharging Techniques - Harvesting Technologies (Solar Cells, Peizoelectric, Electrostatic, Bio Fuel Cell) - Analysis of Energy Sources (walking, body heat, heart beat etc) in Body Area Networks - Solar Energy based Battery Recharging - Bio Chemical Energy Harvesting Sources - Bio Mechanical Energy Harvesting Sources - Ambient Energy Harvesting Sources - Wind Energy based Battery Recharging - Head Energy based Battery Recharging - Wireless Power Transfer - Inductive Coupling Methods of Energy Harvesting - Magnetic Resonance based Methods of Energy Harvesting - Energy Harvesting in Wireless Body Area Networks - Energy Harvesting in Cellular Networks - Energy Harvesting in Cognitive Cellular Systems - Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks - Standardization Activities for Energy Harvesting in Communication Networks - Spectrum Related Issues for Energy Harnessing - Security and Privacy Issues of Energy Harvesting - Algorithms and Protocols for Energy Harvesting We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

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] Deadline extended to Nov. 8 - SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:56:13 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on IoT: Protocol Stack, Cross-Layer, and Power Consumption Issues Extended due date: November 8, 2016 Publication date: June 2017 With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, over 50 billion connected things in the world are expected by year 2020 and 40% of all world data will come from IoT devices and sensors (expected to generate a total of 129 yottabytes) - nearly reaching 90% of the world’s data created in the last 2 years. Things and devices forming IoT are a variety of microcontrollers (MCUs), special systems-on-chip (SoC), sensors and sensor networks. With this dramatic evolution in the types and volume of connected devices and the generated data from these devices, radio technologies need to accommodate the IoT device environments and characteristics, including different environments of “outdoor, indoor, urban, rural”, battery operated devices, form factors, and communication ranges. In addition, communication protocols should adapt to IoT service requirements for real-time and mission critical applications. Consequently, there is a need for smart radio technologies and communication protocols that support low-power and ultra-low power operation, multiple communication ranges, diversity of traffic ranging from 3 bytes of data for telemetry to HD video streams for surveillance, as well as indoor and outdoor environments. Some unique exemplary challenges include efficient service discovery between devices, sleep mode management, communication between devices, smart choice of the appropriate radio to use, application requirement, and power constraint. In this context, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, and Z-Wave emerge as short range and low power wireless communication technologies on one hand. On the other hand, cellular and sub-GHz communication technologies are also emerging within 3GPP and IEEE standards to allow for long coverage especially in rural environments but still facing low power challenges. Sigfox appears to provide a cellular system for devices continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. mmWave represents another opportunity for IoT communication and is being discussed within the 5G network framework working in higher frequency bands and providing very high throughput. Despite of all these radio technology evolution and advancement in communication protocols to satisfy IoT traffic and communication requirements, there is not yet a clear vision of how IoT radio and communication eco-system will look like by 2020 besides green communication. All these unique challenges demand great effort in academic, industry, standardization organizations, and governments. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on*Next Generation Wireless Technologies for IoT*. It will include various topics of interest, but not limited to: * Short, medium and long range radio access (RFID, NFC, DASH7, 4G, 5G, 6LowPAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, IEEE 802.15.4) * Smart sleep and wake up modes for IoT with efficiency and context awareness * Efficient transport and routing protocols for IoT standards and architectures (IETF, IEEE, ETSI, oneM2M, IoT6, IoT-A, ISA, ISO/IEC, IPSO, ITU-T, U2IoT) * Smart bandwidth utilization including network coding techniques for 5G * Wireless wearable and IoT communication architectures and systems * 5G heterogeneous wireless access technologies enabling low latency and low power IoT access networks * Standardization and regulation on mmWave usage in 5G and IoT * Edge networking in IoT including challenges for low power transmissions, security and privacy of cognitive radio * Near-zero energy and renewable energy radios for IoT and PHY/MAC layer techniques for long range low power IoT * Proof of concepts and experimental work on long range low power wireless technologies SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the/IEEE Wireless Communications/guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript tohttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm. The timetable is as follows: IMPORTANT DATES * Submission Deadline: November 8, 2016 * Initial Decision: January 1, 2017 * Revised Manuscript Due: February 1, 2017 * Final Decision: March 15, 2017 * Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2017 * Publication: June 2017 GUEST EDITORS Abderrahim Benslimane University of Avignon, France benslimane(a)ieee.org <mailto:benslimane@ieee.org>(corresponding editor) siiot2016(a)gmail.com <mailto:siiot2016@gmail.com> Hassnaa Moustafa Intel, USA Milena Radenkovic University of Nottingham, UK Ying-Dar Lin National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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. The emphasis of this special issue is on distributed/network aspects of security and privacy in CPSs. Papers with primary emphasis on forensics and security will be redirected to IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security and Privacy of distributed signal processing in networked CPSs. * Distributed and secure detection, estimation, and information fusion. * Security and privacy of consensus and diffusive strategies in networked systems. * Secure and privacy preserving distributed adaptation and learning. * Security and privacy of distributed sensor resource management in networked systems. * Distributed event-based estimation/control in networked CPSs. * Detection and identification of potential attacks on distributed signal processing mechanisms. * Application domains including but not limited to, smart grids, camera networks, multimedia network, and vehicular networks.

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.
