Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks"

24 May '16

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Duan Lingjie <lingjie_duan(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Gesendet: 24. Mai 2016 06:19:49 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks" Call For Papers  IEEE JSAC Special Issue on “Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks” Due to rapid developments of smart devices and mobile applications, human activities, usage behavior and perceived experience of users weigh increasingly on the performance of mobile networks. Scenarios include mobile communication networks, haptic communications for 5G, device-to-device (D2D) networks, and wearable sensor networks. In these systems, human users interact extensively with the system, and the user-perceived quality-of- experience (QoE) is critical. However, various important human factors, e.g., predictable and repeating behavior, have not yet been well understood and fully taken into consideration in current generation mobile networks. Hence, a paradigm shift is required for designing a new human-in-the-loop architecture for mobile networks, by actively learning, predicting, adapting to, and steering user behavior, so as to greatly improve system efficiency and to provide superior users QoE. Specifically, such an architecture includes the following main components. (i) Human behavioral big data: Large-scale data is the foundation of user behavior study and prediction. However, their formats must be carefully designed to reflect user features in multi-dimensions, the crowd needs to be incentivized for data sensing and acquisition, and one may also need to leverage distributed caching, computing and communication capabilities of smart devices for scalable and reliable data communications. (ii) Human behavior learning and analytics: Human behavior exhibits significant amount of predictability, and tends to have repeated patterns, e.g., mobility and usage patterns. Efficient techniques must be developed or tailored towards human behavior modeling and data processing, and must be able to handle the dynamic nature of acquired data and respect heterogeneous constraints in data sampling and processing. (iii) Intelligent control for human-intense mobile networks: Online learning-based control and predictive control techniques must be developed to enable seamless integration of data in system optimization. They should be able to exploit benefits of behavior learning, while handling the selfish nature of human users and randomness in human actions, with the ultimate objective of guaranteeing superior QoE in resource-limited mobile networks. In this special issue, we focus on fundamental problems involving human activities and interactions with future mobile networks. We invite submissions of high-quality original technical papers, which have not been published previously. The topics in this call include but are not limited to the following areas: • Crowdsensing and analytics of human user data  • Human-system interaction modeling and analysis for mobile networks • Predictive control in multi-user mobile communication systems  • Online behavior-learning and control in mobile networks  • Local caching in human-intense mobile systems  • Human-intense D2D communications  • Resource allocation and optimization for 5G haptic communications Submission Guideline Authors please refer to submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guide- lines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) when preparing their papers (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review). Papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://www.edas.info) according to the following schedule: • Submission Deadline: September 1, 2016  • Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2016 • Final Material to IEEE: January 1, 2017  • Publication Date: First Quarter 2017 Guest Editors • Longbo Huang (Lead) - Tsinghua University, longbohuang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn  • Lingjie Duan - Singapore University of Technology and Design, lingjie_duan(a)sutd.edu.sg • Cedric Langbort - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, langbort(a)illinois.edu  • Alexey Pozdnukhov - University of California, Berkeley, alexeip(a)berkeley.edu  • Jean Walrand - University of California, Berkeley, walrand(a)berkeley.edu  • Lin Zhang - Tsinghua University, linzhang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn This email may contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for receipt and use solely by the addressee(s) named above.

Datum: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:34:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016 October 3-7, 2016, New York, USA www.acm-chants.org =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE's D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the ten previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year's edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in the **new directions of challenged networking such as mobile cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN**. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing - Challenged networking in the Internet of Things - Big data analytics in challenged networking - Software-defined networking in challenged environments - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Network coding in challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------------- Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Experiences with sensor hardware integration - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Smart infrastructure support with wireless sensing technology - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Issue of Elsevier Vehicular Communications Datum: Thu, 19 May 2016 15:30:54 +0200 Von: Claudio Ettore Casetti <casetti(a)POLITO.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Ettore Casetti <casetti(a)POLITO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (apologies if you receive multiple copies) SPECIAL ISSUE OF ELSEVIER VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS JOURNAL ON “Internet of Vehicles” The Special Issue will address the needs of first generation vehicular networking technologies and applications to go beyond present-day systems. One such area is automated vehicles where the communication needs will be twofold: One for cooperatively perceiving the environment, and the other for collectively deciding on maneuvers. Such connected autonomous vehicles would not only require reliable group communications, but also would rely on group intelligence where they may need to coordinate their actions (as a vehicular cloud). Another emerging area is the view of cars as sensor platforms that monitor the external environment (traffic, pollution, etc.) as well as the internal CAN bus and cabin activities. In this view the cars become part of an IoV (Internet of Vehicles) and provide useful information not only to other cars, but also to stakeholders in the Internet (e.g., automakers, insurance companies, content providers, etc.). In this view, one can exploit the informati! on capture, processing and communication resources not only of running cars, but also of parked cars in the context of smart cities (e.g., using vehicles as data capture, storage and delivery instruments). The large collected information will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grids and smart city operations. Topics of interest include communication issues related to (but are not limited to): • Vehicular clouds, group intelligence • Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles • Heterogeneous/hybrid networking techniques for next generation vehicular communications • Collective perception techniques for automated vehicles • Collective decision making for automated vehicles • Services utilizing resources of vehicles • Security for connected vehicles • Positioning and addressing of vehicles • Use of big data and cloud for automated vehicles • IoV in the general context of IoT • Mining big vehicular data for smart city services • Use of cellular systems for vehicular networking 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. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at: www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622893/authorinstruct…. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, cyber challenges. Built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. The 3rd ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2016) will be held November 16-17th, 2016 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. We invite original contributions in the areas of intelligent systems and applications for the built environment. BuildSys particularly emphasizes approaches that improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, increase performance, and add novel functionality for improving users’ comfort and experience. BuildSys’ scope is broad, encompassing all systems within the built environment of the urban fabric, including not only buildings but also critical infrastructure systems, such as water, power, communications, and transportation that will make up the “smart cities” of the future. BuildSys has established itself as the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sensing, computing, and control functions. Submission Types: We solicit three types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) * Technical posters and demos will be solicited via a separate call (2 pages) Topics: Papers are invited in all emerging aspects of information-driven systems for the built environment.

The organizers will supply the foam backing and a method to mount the posters to the foam backing In particular, we call for posters that include accompanying datasets shared with the community. The aim is to collect and share datasets that can hopefully become a common ground for evaluation in the ICN community. Such posters will be eligible for a "best dataset award". Preparation of Demos You are required to submit a 2 page extended abstract, which describes the demo. The extended abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed and why it is important, (b) the approach taken and the design of the demo, (c) the key contribution and (d) any special technical requirements. If accepted, it is strongly recommended that a poster supporting the demo is produced. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A "best demo award" will be given this year, based on community judging by registered participants A demo should be self contained and ideally interactive. Accepted demos will be given a table (6 feet by 30 inches), a power supply (100V TypeA) and WiFi Internet access(NAT only) by default. Details regarding poster preparation are described above. Important Poster and Demo Dates Poster and Demo Submission Deadline: July 8, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: July 29, 2016 Camera Ready Due: August 15, 2016 Conference: September 26-28, 2016 -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR TUTORIALS Following last year's successful tutorials, ACM ICN 2016 solicits proposals for half- or full-day tutorials on topics relevant to the ICN research that can help the audience gain further understanding of this new and exciting area. In particular, we seek tutorials on intermediate and advanced topics of critical importance to the maturing ICN field (such as, but not limited to, applied cryptography, or technological advances for ICN, or application of ICN to specific fields such as IoT), offered through collaboration between ICN researchers and experts in other domains. Tutorials may be lectures, hands-on training, or any combination of the above. Exploring diverse ways of interacting with the audience is welcome, as are cross-disciplinary topics. Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format, not exceeding three (3) pages in total, and be sent to the workshop/tutorial chairs. Each proposal must include: - A motivation for the tutorial (why this, why at ICN 2016?) - Detailed biographies of the trainers. - An outline of the tutorial content. - The type of tutorial (e.g., lecture vs. hands-on) - References to previous iterations of the tutorial (if applicable) including their date, venue, topics and number of participants and the motivation for the new proposal. - Requirements for the tutorial room. - Requirements for the attendants (e.g., must bring own laptop, familiarity with certain technologies or topics, etc.). - Any limitations (e.g., number of participants). Important tutorial dates Tutorial Proposal Submission Deadline: July 8, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: July 15, 2016 Conference: September 26-28, 2016 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - CFP - New York, USA - Submission deadline extended: June 1st, 2016 Datum: Sun, 15 May 2016 09:57:37 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 11th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch) 2016 In conjunction with MOBICOM 2016, New York, USA October 3, 2016 http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~mobiarch/ *Submission deadline extended to June 1st, 2016 (11:55 PM, GMT) (FIRM)* ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** Recent years have witnessed mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers and exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Wireless has quickly become the dominant last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today’s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of information and contents, the availability of software defined architecture, the computational support from the cloud, the emerging spectrum access techniques and the massive amount of data. MobiArch 2016 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the mobility of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. MobiArch 2016 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. The workshop supports all topics that target to support mobility, with an emphasis on new network design for high performance mobile applications and services, efficient support of mobile contents, software defined architecture, data-driven mobile network management, as well as cloud-aware architecture and services. Besides technical papers, we also encourage work-in-progress papers, and welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches • Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support • Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning • Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking • Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture • Impact of connected vehicles on Internet architecture design • Impact of device-to-device communications on Internet architecture design • New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture • Mobile data sensing and fusion • Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks • Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks • Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility • Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture • Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues • Cognitive networks design ** IMPORTANT DATES ** • Submissions deadline: June 1st, 2016 (11:55 PM, GMT) *(FIRM)* • Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2016 • Camera-ready version: July 17th, 2016 • MobiArch Workshop Day: October 3, 2016 ** STEERING COMMITTEE ** Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Aalto University Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Stefano Secci, UPMC ** TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE ** Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Giacomo Verticale, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Kaushik Chowdhury, Northeastern University, USA Lito Kriara, Disney Research Zurich Lixia Zhang, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Fiore, CNR-IEIIT, Italy Michele Nogueira, UFPR, Brazil (Co-chair) Peter Steenkiste Carnegie Mellon University, USA Razvan Stanica INSA Lyon, France Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec, France Stefano Secci, UPMC-LIP6, France Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University, Japan Xin Wang, Stony Brook University, USA (Co-chair) Xu Chen, University of Goettingen, Germany Yong Cui, Tsinghua University, China ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ** Submissions must present original results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Sun, 15 May 2016 21:06:12 +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 Due date: Oct. 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).

We invite mature and early works using traditional and new methodologies, and especially works that challenge conventional wisdom in relationship between traffic monitoring, security and privacy. We seek submissions that treat all aspects of measurement, security and privacy across the networking stack, distributed applications and services and especially encourage works that involve new and emerging systems, applications, and environments. The importance of data increases from one year to the next, and we have witnessed significant changes in technologies related to generation, collection, transmission, analysis and storage of data, including virtualization and cloud technologies, big data processing and storage systems. The shear volume of data poses challenges to traditional measurement and monitoring techniques, as well as transmission into analysis systems, where so much data is generated that it cannot be copies, transmitted or stored before processing that includes downsizing. As data becomes more important, more precise and detailed extraction from network traffic and applications is necessary. Often times, considerations for security and privacy preservation are lacking or come later as a secondary concern. A question arises how to build powerful measurement and monitoring systems that generate valuable data without compromising security and privacy of consumers, and increasingly IoT devices, that generate it. In fact, many measurement and monitoring systems do not have built-in privacy and security protection mechanisms and data is sanitized off-line or during post-processing. On the other hand, some systems are built with only security or privacy in mind so that effective measurement and monitoring of those systems is impossible. We invite the measurement, monitoring, security and privacy community to contribute original submissions that cover a broad range of topics across wired and wireless networks, with and without security and privacy aspects: *Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation *Measurement of new protocols such as HTTP/2, QUIC and similar alternatives *Measurement of emerging modes of communication such as NFC and spontaneous interaction of devices *Measurement for wearables and Internet of Things *Measurement in Network Function Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking *Building Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics from network measurements *Measurement related to performance, security and privacy *Preserving security and/or privacy in measurement and monitoring systems *Preventing network intrusions and attacks on monitoring and measurement systems *Detecting vulnerabilities in network systems *Anonymization and privacy preservation *Building secure and privacy-preserving monitoring systems and infrastructures *Privacy enhancing technologies *Privacy and anonymity in the Web, cloud systems, online social networks, mobile networks, P2P networks *Privacy in identity management systems *Design, performance, and measurements of privacy-preserving systems *Design, performance, and measurements of secure networks *Measurement methodologies for privacy and anonymity *User profiling mechanisms *Mechanisms for processing of private data *Quantification of privacy threats and anonymity loss *Privacy challenges in smart systems *Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for privacy PAPER SUBMISSION The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be in PDF for-mat, written in English with a maximum paper length of eight printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size), including figures. The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiArch 2016 - Call for Papers - New York, USA - Submission deadline: May 15, 2016 Datum: Wed, 11 May 2016 07:24:25 -0400 Von: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> Antwort an: Michele Nogueira <michele(a)INF.UFPR.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 11th ACM Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch) 2016 In conjunction with MOBICOM 2016, New York, USA October 3, 2016 http://www.nr2.ufpr.br/~mobiarch/ *Submission deadline: May 15, 2016* ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** Recent years have witnessed mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers and exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Wireless has quickly become the dominant last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today’s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of information and contents, the availability of software defined architecture, the computational support from the cloud, the emerging spectrum access techniques and the massive amount of data. MobiArch 2016 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the mobility of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. MobiArch 2016 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. The workshop supports all topics that target to support mobility, with an emphasis on new network design for high performance mobile applications and services, efficient support of mobile contents, software defined architecture, data-driven mobile network management, as well as cloud-aware architecture and services. Besides technical papers, we also encourage work-in-progress papers, and welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches • Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support • Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning • Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking • Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture • Impact of connected vehicles on Internet architecture design • Impact of device-to-device communications on Internet architecture design • New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture • Mobile data sensing and fusion • Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks • Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks • Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility • Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture • Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues • Cognitive networks design ** IMPORTANT DATES ** • Submissions deadline: May 15, 2016 (11:59 PM, EST) • Notification of acceptance: June 19, 2016 • Camera-ready version: July 17, 2016 • MobiArch Workshop Day: October 3, 2016 ** STEERING COMMITTEE ** Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Aalto University Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Stefano Secci, UPMC ** TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE ** Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Giacomo Verticale, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Kaushik Chowdhury, Northeastern University, USA Lito Kriara, Disney Research Zurich Lixia Zhang, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Fiore, CNR-IEIIT, Italy Michele Nogueira, UFPR, Brazil (Co-chair) Peter Steenkiste Carnegie Mellon University, USA Razvan Stanica INSA Lyon, France Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec, France Stefano Secci, UPMC-LIP6, France Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University, Japan Xin Wang, Stony Brook University, USA (Co-chair) Xu Chen, University of Goettingen, Germany Yong Cui, Tsinghua University, China ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ** Submissions must present original results.
