-------- 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.

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/.

by Lars Wolf 27 Sep '16

-------- 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to Nov. 1 - SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 21:39:59 +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 1, 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.

Semiconductors and the Internet have revolutionized and transformed our lives and how we interact with information, which has in turn led to the growth of information technology. Today we are in a CPS paradigm that will transform the way we interact with, and manipulate, physical systems. CPS represents a bold new generation of systems that integrates computing and communication capabilities with the dynamics of physical and engineered systems. Vast major investments are being made worldwide in developing this technology and its impact on the economy and social structure has yet to be realized. No matter how integrated cyber-physical worlds are to develop, there is no doubt that they must be "dependable". Increasingly, individuals, practitioners, and organizations have begun to develop or procure sophisticated CPS in whose /dependability/ of services they must have great confidence. Future CPS systems need to close the /dependability/ gap in the face of challenges in different circumstances and services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault/corruption/anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability/availability/sustainability/adaptability/heterogeneity/security/safety, and so on. Therefore, we have a wide open area of research to explore and exploit the challenges and immense opportunities in this dependable CPS arena. *Scope* This special issue focuses on bringing together current research ideas and techniques from researchers and practitioners belonging to a myriad of research areas, with the final goal of sharing their specific challenges and solutions for /CPS dependability/. More specifically, contributions related to /dependability/ aspects of CPS /applications/systems in practice/ are of interest. The scope for this special issue includes but is not limited to the following list: * Theoretical foundations of dependability in controlling/managing/monitoring in CPS * Architectural framework and design methodologies for dependable CPS * Dependable software platforms for managing CPS * Dependability issues in Big Data analytics for CPS * Dependability issues in Cloud-assisted CPS * Dependability issues in sensor network protocols for CPS * Fault models and fault tolerances in both cyber and physical subsystems * HCI models and HCI system failure and recovery * Cyber security, privacy, safety, availability/reliability issues in distributed CPS and applications * Dependability issues in CPS applications (including robotics, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, transportation, smart energy, smart civil infrastructure, and healthcare) * Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools for CPS *Evaluation Criteria* All papers submitted to this special issue will be evaluated according to relevance, novelty, and new contributions. Particularly, the paper must show enough evidence of contributions to CPS applications/systems in practice. *Schedule* * Manuscript submission due: March 15, 2017 * First-round pass notification: April 15, 2017 * First round of reviews complete: August 15, 2017 * Second round of reviews complete: October 15, 2017 * Final notification: November 15, 2017 * Target publication: 2017/2018 For further information, please contact SI.Dependable.CPS(a)gmail.com <mailto:SI.Dependable.CPS@gmail.com>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you do not want to receive future emails about publishing in ACM journals, send an email to mktg2(a)hq.acm.org <mailto:mktg2@hq.acm.org> with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject.

IEEE/IFIP WONS 2017 - Call For Papers The 13th Annual Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services 21-24 February 2017 Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA http://2017.wons-conference.org/ Keynote Speakers: Nick Bambos (Stanford) Jean Walrand (UC Berkeley) Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor networks, the Internet of Things, cloud networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, underwater and intra-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. Finally, there are many application-specific challenges. WONS, now in its thirteenth edition, is a high quality forum to address these challenges. WONS aims to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment.

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/. Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central website: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

In general, these devices are worn continuously throughout the day and thus provide the opportunity to gather information about their users with unprecedented levels. In addition, many wearable devices are directly worn over the skin and they may include sensors not available on common smartphones (e.g. for monitoring the user’s heart rate). As a consequence, they are particularly suitable for those medical applications where continuous monitoring is fundamental. At the same time, the massive amount of information collected through these devices is enabling novel applications in the context of e-health and wellbeing. For instance, it is known that abundance of information promotes an effective management of patients’ condition, and a well-informed patient is more likely to conduct a healthy lifestyle. This special issue aims to collect recent, original research in the area of wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing. Papers that report on techniques, systems, and experiments that fit in the mentioned scenario and potentially interesting for the readers of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Smartwatch-based applications for a healthy lifestyle - Dedicated wearable systems and architectures for e-health and wellbeing - Performance evaluation of wearable systems in e-health and wellbeing - Novel techniques and applications for wearable systems in e-health and wellbeing - Wearable systems for diagnosis and assessment of medical conditions - Detection of anomalies through wearable systems - Security and privacy in e-health and wellbeing applications based on wearable systems - Wearable systems for older adults - Experimental evaluation of wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing - Networking in wearable systems for e-health and wellbeing IMPORTANT DATES Submission: November 30th, 2016 First notification: January 31st, 2017 Submission of revised version: March 7th, 2017 Final notification: April 15th, 2017 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Manuscripts should follow the guidelines of the Personal and Ubiquitous Computing journal (available here: http://www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/779).

Ubiquitous computing, mobile computing, and last mile connectivity based applications will be the future of mobile applications. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) will play an important role in such applications. P2P networking refers to the technology that enables two or more peers to collaborate spontaneously in an overlay network by using appropriate information and communication systems without the necessity for a central coordination. A P2P overlay network is a robust, distributed and fault-tolerant network architecture for sharing resources like CPU, memory and files. Mobile and wireless technology have experienced great progress in recent years. There are several research challenges in the design of an efficient P2P-based network, e.g., the design of a flexible structure (like ring, chord, 3D or other multi dimensional structure), avoiding mismatch between physical and logical networks, having a flexible structur! e that can accommodate dynamic joining and departure of nodes, routing, and forwarding of query. Also, P2P networks have been used in the emerging networks, such as smart grid, cognitive radio networks, online social networks and data center networks, for the support of various applications like routing information maintenance, data storage and retrieval, and location service. Each of these emerging networks has their own unique characteristics which requires a different approach for the design of an efficient P2P structure for these emerging networks. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the domain of emerging P2P network technologies for pervasive and mobile computing. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent developments in the design of an efficient P2P-based protocol in the emerging networks and its new applications with special focus on pervasive and mobile computing. Traditional networking papers or papers that do not emphasize the proper focus of this special issue will be rejected without review. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - P2P networks for pervasive and mobile computing (PMC) applications - P2P-based protocol for data/file sharing in Internet, smart grid, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, data center, vehicular networks, Internet of Things, smart systems - P2P-based routing protocols for Internet, smart grid, ad hoc networks, data center networks - P2P support of efficient data management in cloud computing - P2P-based location services for storing/managing geographic location information - Application of P2P in vehicular networks. - P2P based protocols for Named Networks for PMC applications - P2P based protocols for social networking for PMC applications - P2P based protocols for Software Defined Radio for PMC applications - P2P-based protocol for multimedia networks for PMC applications - P2P-based overlays for group communication for PMC applications - IP/Name resolution through P2P-based protocol - Cross-layer approach for P2P-based protocols for PMC - Developments, issues, and open areas of P2P protocols for PMC - P2P-based protocol for resource management in emerging networks (like Cognitive Radio Cellular/Sensor Networks/D2D) - New applications of P2P-based networks for PMC applications - Future perspective for P2P-based protocols in emerging networks IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------ Manuscript Due: October 30, 2016 Acceptance notification: January 30, 2017 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: Mid 2017 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/.

Manufacturers plan to introduce new cars into the market with V2V and V2I communication systems as soon as 2019 (estimated). Large-scale testbeds are running or planned in different parts of the world, such as the Cooperative ITS Corridor that connects Austria, Germany and Netherlands, and the USDOT plan to install V2V technology in 10,000 city-owned vehicles in New York City. On the other hand, the technology will continue to evolve. In parallel to the deployment phase, multiple discussions are taking place at different levels and in different forums about the next generation of vehicular networks. The 3GPPP has launched a Work Item to study the feasibility of LTE-based V2X services and connected vehicles are being considered a relevant part of the future 5G ecosystem. The automated (and connected) vehicle will soon come into play and may significantly change the roots of vehicular networks. The 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. In addition to the standard full and short paper tracks, IEEE VNC 2016 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster and demo session to allow the authors to closely interact with and obtain feedback from the conference audience on new or ongoing research contributions related to vehicular communications and networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2016 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations from industry and academia related to vehicular networking. Submissions should showcase innovative systems and prototypes developed for either commercial use or for research purposes. We especially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * 5G technologies for connected vehicles * Communications and networking for automated and semi-automated vehicles * Congestion and awareness control in vehicular networks * Novel technologies for V2X (TVWS, LTE-D, VLC, etc.) * Safety and non-safety applications of vehicular networks, including ITS * V2V, V2I and V2X communications and networking protocols * Vehicular communications with VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc. * In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired) * Radio propagation and technologies for vehicular networks (propagation models, antennas, etc.) * Protocols for vehicular networking (radio resource management, link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport etc.) * Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks * Network and QoS management for vehicular networks * Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks * Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies * Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment * Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles * Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology) * Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks * Vehicular networking architectures and system design * Applications and services to enhance driver experience, performance, and behavior All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication in Elsevier Computer Communications journal . Manuscript submissions All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. We will consider two different categories of papers: * Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. * Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2016 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the conference website. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. Important dates Full/Short paper Submission Deadline: September 15, 2016 (hard) Demo/Poster paper Submission Deadline: September 15, 2016 Acceptance Notification: October 19, 2016 Camera-Ready Paper Due: November 3, 2016 Conference: December 8-10, 2016 Submission page https://edas.info/N22809 More information is available on: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/cfp.html CALL FOR MOBILE APPS Mobile and wearable technologies are undergoing massive growth and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is expected to drive network traffic to unprecedented levels.
