These applications consume high-level context data computed by processing and filtering numerous raw context data collected from the physical environment. Those applications are based upon cooperating services, which have to be designed and dynamically composed. For instance, those services manage heterogeneous context data, distribute both processing and flows of data, manage the quality of context for appropriate decision-making, enhance privacy of personal context data, and identify situations from data coming both from the IoT and from knowledge bases. Providing context-aware applications in the IoT necessitates the interaction of numerous heterogeneous services deployed in a multiscale complex distributed architecture. Topics of interest ================== - Middleware to transport and transform data from tiny sensors to context-aware applications - Composition and interoperability of IoT services - Distribution of IoT services among mobile devices, sensors and computers in the cloud - Complex Event processing for the IoT - Services on the cloud for the IoT - Middleware for context-awareness and location-awareness - Models and middleware to provide IoT services to context-aware applications - Testbeds for context-aware applications in the IoT - Semantic web services for the IoT - Discovery and capability matching for the IoT - Privacy and QoC (Quality of Context) aware capabilities for the IoT - Data management for the IoT - IoT platforms - Experiences of application development with middleware for the IoT Workshop co-chairs ================== Danny Hughes, Leuven University, Belgium Chantal Taconet, Télécom SudParis, France Sébastien Leriche, ENAC - University of Toulouse, France Thaís Vasconcelos Batista - Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil Contact: m4iot.2016 *AT* gmail.com Submission ========== The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard Style.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) 2016 Datum: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:32:53 +0200 Von: Claudia Campolo <claudia.campolo(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Claudia Campolo <claudia.campolo(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) Columbus, Ohio, USA 8-10 December, 2016 More information is available at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/ ======================== Connected vehicles are becoming a cornerstone of the increasingly connected world and the deployment phase of the first generation of vehicular networks is now closer than ever. 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. You can also download the call for papers in PDF format . 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: August 30, 2016 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 ------------------------------- Claudia Campolo University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy IEEE VNC 2016 Publicity Chair claudia.campolo(a)unirc.it ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) (http://social-iot.org) refers to the convergence of the Internet of Things and Social Networking paradigms for the creation of social networks in which things are nodes that establish social links as humans do. This concept is fast gaining ground thanks to the benefits deriving from the potentials of the social networks within the IoT domain, such as: simplification in the navigability of a dynamic network of billions of objects, robustness in the management of the trustworthiness of objects when providing information and services, efficiency in the dynamic discovery of services and information. The preliminary results achieved in this field are encouraging but significant efforts are still needed to develop concrete solutions. Indeed, the application of the SIoT concepts to real data, i.e., mobility patterns and interactions among objects in real applications, needs to extended to different scenarios to evaluate the benefits in terms of network navigability and service discovery. Additionally, the intelligence that the objects should be equipped with to implement the social behavior is sometimes excessive given the devices computation capabilities, so that different levels of social behavior should be defined according to the device characteristics. The effectiveness of the social-based trust evaluation also needs a more precise modelling of the expected malicious behavior of nodes in the IoT. Based on these considerations, this special session is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas and explore enabling technologies that cover a variety of topics in the SIoT domain including, but not limited to: * Topologies of social networks of objects * Social virtual objects in the cloud * Management of smart object links * Applications exploiting the SIoT concepts * Trust of social objects * Navigability in the Social IoT * Ontology for the social relationships * SIoT experimental platforms ORGANIZING COMMITTEE * Luigi Atzori, Un. of Cagliari, IT, l.atzori(a)ieee.org * Antonio Iera, Un. of Reggio Calabria, IT,antonio.iera(a)unirc.it * Giacomo Morabito, Ph.D., Un. of Catania, IT,giacomo.morabito(a)dieei.unict.it TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE * Ejaz Ahmed, University of Malaya, Malaysia * Martin Atzmueller, University of Kassel, Germany * Maurizio Fiaschè, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Bin Guo, Northwestern Polytechnical University, P.R.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - 2nd ACM Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security & Privacy (CPS-SPC) in Conjunction with the ACM CCS Datum: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 13:16:34 -0400 Von: Quanyan Zhu <quanyan.zhu(a)NYU.EDU> Antwort an: Quanyan Zhu <quanyan.zhu(a)NYU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2nd ACM Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security & Privacy (CPS-SPC) In Conjunction with the 23rd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) Location: Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria Date: Friday, October 28, 2016 Workshop website: http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/cps-spc/index.html Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computing and communication capabilities with monitoring and control of entities in the physical world. These systems are usually composed of a set of networked agents, including sensors, actuators, control processing units, and communication devices. While some forms of CPS are already in use, the widespread growth of wireless embedded sensors and actuators is creating several new applications in areas such as medical devices, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, and is increasing the role that the information infrastructure plays in existing control systems such as in the process control industry or the power grid. Many CPS applications are safety-critical: their failure can cause irreparable harm to the physical system under control, and to the people who depend, use or operate it. In particular, critical cyber-physical infrastructures such as the electric power generation, transmission and distribution grids, oil and natural gas systems, water and waste-water treatment plants, and transportation networks play a fundamental and large-scale role in our society and their disruption can have a significant impact to individuals, and nations at large. Securing these CPS infrastructures is therefore vitally important. Similarly because many CPS systems collect sensor data non-intrusively, users of these systems are often unaware of their exposure. Therefore in addition to security, CPS systems must be designed with privacy considerations. To address some of these issues, we invite original research papers on the security and/or privacy of Cyber-Physical Systems. We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds tackling security and privacy issues in CPS, including but not limited to: • mathematical foundations for secure CPS • control theoretic approaches to secure CPS • security architectures for CPS • security and resilience metrics for CPS • metrics and risk assessment approaches for CPS • privacy in CPS • network security for CPS • game theory applied to CPS security • security of embedded systems, IoT and real-time systems in the context of CPS • human factors and humans in the loop • CPS reliability and safety • economics of security and privacy in CPS • intrusion detection in CPS CPS domains of interest include but are not limited to: • health care and medical devices • manufacturing • industrial control systems • SCADA systems • robotics • unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) • autonomous vehicles • transportation systems and networks • abstract theoretical CPS domains that involve sensing and actuation Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions, and those that can set research agendas and priorities in CPS security and privacy. Submissions Submitted papers can be up to 12 pages including appendices and references. Submissions must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (available at the ACM website) in double-column format with a font no smaller than 9 point. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. Paper submissions page will open on June 27th, 2016. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented by one registered author. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk immediate rejection. For questions about these policies, please contact the chairs. Publication of Papers Papers will be digitally published as part of the CCS workshop proceedings, and will be part of the ACM digital library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-elg] CfP ARM 2016 Trento Datum: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:00:52 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: KUVS-ELG <kuvs-elg(a)gi-ev.de>, gi3abs-l(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Call for Papers 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) held in conjunction with ACM/IFIP/USENIX ACM International Middleware Conference Trento, Italy, 12-16 December, 2016 IMPORTANT DATES (GMT/UTC-12) August 19, 2016 - Abstract submission August 26, 2016 - Paper submission October 3, 2016 - Notification of Acceptance October 17, 2016 - Final version The 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) follows on the success of over a decade of previous editions exploring how reflective approaches and associated techniques can support the life-cycle of adaptive middleware platforms. Such systems must adapt and tailor their behavior and properties to increasing levels of dynamism and unprecedented scales. Adaptation and reflection mechanisms must take into account novel models of computation and new classes of applications such as networked and cloud applications, the Internet of Things and their combination. Applying reflective techniques to open-up the implementation of middleware and related software platforms for interoperability, one-to-many deployment, and adaptability proved particularly successful and influential. Reflection by itself is today considered a baseline. Its combination with other software adaptation techniques has proven beneficial to extend the reach to different layers of the software stack. Further consolidating this approach can allow delivering the flexibility demanded by today’s ever diversifying middleware environments, which require higher and higher degrees of adaptability and resilience. ARM 2016 aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the challenging problems that remain unsolved. This edition follows the path initiated in recent editions, by bringing together experts involved in designing and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers, including architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network layers, as well as in using techniques that are complementary to reflection. The workshop will provide an exciting environment in which to leverage cooperation among researchers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design and performance of adaptive and/or reflective middleware platforms; - Experiences with adaptive and reflective technologies in specific domains (e.g., sensor networks, ubiquitous/pervasive computing, mobile computing, Internet of Things, cloud/grid computing, P2P, Systems-of-Systems); - Cross-layer interactions and adaptation mechanisms including network, OS, VM & device level techniques; - Adaptation and reflection in the presence of heterogeneous execution and programming paradigms; - Application of adaptive and reflective middleware techniques to achieve: reconfigurability and/or adaptability and/or separation of concerns; reuse; and reification of adaptation techniques and strategies; - Incorporating non-functional properties into middleware: real-time, fault-tolerance, security, trust, privacy and so on; - Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection, adaptation and control, as it relates to middleware and its interaction with other layers; - Techniques to improve performance and/or scalability of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Evaluation methodologies for adaptive and reflective middleware; guidelines, testbeds and benchmarks; - Approaches to maintain the integrity of adaptive and reflective technologies; convergence of adaptation. - Tool support for adaptive and reflective middleware; - Design and programming abstractions to manage the complexity of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Software engineering methodologies for the design and development of adaptive middleware; - Methods for reasoning, storing and dynamically updating knowledge about the services provided by adaptive/reflective middleware; - The role of techniques such as learning in the design of long-lived adaptive middleware; - Methods for asynchronous, distributed, control, coordination/cooperation among components providing middleware services; - Metrics on properties such as cost-of-adaptation, quality-of-adaptation, consistency-of-adaptation, yields.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols Submission Deadline: Nov 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols. 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) 2016 Datum: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 19:27:25 +0200 Von: Claudia Campolo <claudia.campolo(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Claudia Campolo <claudia.campolo(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, please consider the possibility to submit your work to the 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC). This year's conference will be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The submission deadline is August 30, 2016. Details on the CFP are reported below. Best regards, Claudia Campolo Assistant Professor University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy E-mail: claudia.campolo(a)unirc.it ---------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) Columbus, Ohio, USA 8-10 December, 2016 More information is available at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/ ======================== Connected vehicles are becoming a cornerstone of the increasingly connected world and the deployment phase of the first generation of vehicular networks is now closer than ever. 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. 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: August 30, 2016 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 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
