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.

-------- 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Communications Magazine Special Issue on IoT -- Deadline Extended to 26 June 2016-- Datum: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 09:25:22 +0200 Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Antwort an: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things (IoT) --- NEW Submission Deadline: June 26, 2016 --- Internet of Things is seen as a set of vertical application domains that share a limited number of common basic functionalities (such as communications and networking protocols and operating systems APIs). In this view, consumer centric solutions, platforms, data management, and business models have to be developed and consolidated in order to deploy effective solutions in the specific fields. The availability of low cost general purpose processing and storage systems with sensing/actuation capabilities (now available also to prosumers) coupled with communication capabilities are broadening the possibilities of IoT leading to open systems that will be highly programmable, virtualized and will support large numbers of APIs. Internet of Things emerges as a set of integrated technologies new exciting solutions and services that are set to change the way people live, produce goods. Internet of Things is rewarded by many as a fruitful technological sector in order to generate revenues. IoT covers a large wealth of consumer centric technologies (from sensors to communications up to software platforms) and it is applicable to an even larger set of application domains (from manufacturing to e-health, from logistics to automotive). Innovation will be nurtured and driven by the possibilities offered by the combination of increased technological capabilities, new business models and the rise of new ecosystems. IoT will be characterized by a few enablers: * Sensors, actuators and new consumer devices. * New Communication capabilities (from short range to LPWAN to 4G and 5G networks, with NB-IoT). In addition, new communication protocols and the exploitation of NFV/SDN for better communications. * Data management and Big Data analysis to deal with large data sets and streams generated by IoT systems. * New solutions for large distributed systems (e.g., combination of Cloud, Grid and Edge/Fog Computing). * Cognitive systems. Large IoT systems will be more and more complex, and as such they will require new cognitive techniques in order to be effective. * Platform programmability. APIs and other means for supporting the programmability of IoT systems in order to enable the exploitation of programmable features made available. * New Business models and ecosystems. What is the value of IoT systems, what ecosystems support it, how to monetize IoT. * Consumer centric aspects including IoT application development, utilization of semantics and security, privacy, trust. This proposed Feature Topic (FT) issue will gather articles from a wide range of perspectives in different industrial and research communities of IoT. The primary FT goals are to advance the understanding of the challenges faced in IoT communications, networking, distributed processing, new signal processing capabilities, software platforms and end – users devices over the next decade, and provide further awareness in the IoT research communities on these challenges, thus fostering future investigation. In addition a perspective on the business possibilities of IoT are of interest in order to enable and deploy the foreseen technical solutions. Original research papers are to be solicited in topics including, but not limited to, the following themes: * Existing and future communication architectures and technologies for large IoT systems * Existing and future use cases and deployment of large IoT systems * Design and evaluation of large IoT test beds, prototypes, and platforms for consumer centric IoT application development and deployment * Identification of viable business models and related ecosystems * Solution and services supported by consumer devices * Security, Privacy and interworking issues for cooperative IoT operations * Interfaces, cross-platform communication and programmability for IoT systems * Autonomics mechanisms for QoS and performance evaluation for IoT solutions * Game-theoretic and control-theoretic mechanisms for IoT resource allocation and management * Integrating 4G and 5G wireless technologies into IoT communications and Platforms * Integration of cognitive techniques with IoT systems * Energy-efficient communications considering opportunistic policies for large IoT systems * Big data and data analytics solutions for IoT systems * Comparison and improvement of IoT communication protocols * Novel distributed techniques (e.g., Edge/Fog computing) * New sensing and actuation capabilities and devices and their applicability IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: June 26, 2016 Notification Due Date: August 15, 2016 Final Version Due Date: September 15, 2016 Feature Topic Publication Date: December, 2016 GUEST EDITORS Roberto Minerva TIM Lab, Italy roberto.minerva(a)telecomitalia.it Mohsen Guizani University of Idaho, USA mguizani(a)uidaho.edu Christos Verikoukis CTTC, Spain cveri(a)cttc.es Hausi Muller University of Victoria, Canada hausi(a)cs.uvic.ca Soumya Kanti Datta EURECOM, France dattas(a)eurecom.fr Yen-Kuang Chen INTEL, USA y.k.chen(a)ieee.org SUBMISSION Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the IoT research community.

The key themes of this workshop are two-fold: 1. Connected Vehicles: Based on short- and medium-range communications as well as on cellular networks, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications, efficiency applications and a multitude of other commercial or public authority applications. 2. Intelligent Vehicles: As vehicles are equipped with more sensing and computing capabilities, vehicles become more intelligent and are able to accomplish a number of challenging tasks including autonomous driving. We are currently witnessing the pursuit of high-performing, reliable, scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving connected and automated vehicle technologies, as well as associated mobility services. These ongoing innovations present an extraordinary challenge for the research community. The safety, real-time and security needs of vehicular systems and their application scenarios make the study of these systems both exciting and challenging. Goal-driven inter-disciplinary collaboration among the automotive industry and academic research community is increasingly seen as necessary. Furthermore, the connected and intelligent vehicle research field has been a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to connected vehicles or autonomous driving vehicles. Many relevant industry standards and consortia are being created to prepare for the maturity of these emerging technologies.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to June 25--ACM TECS SI on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Datum: Wed, 1 Jun 2016 19:07:39 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems Special Issue on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Recently, energy harvesting technologies have emerged as a solution to the challenges posed by energy constraints in many mobile applications. Environmental energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, and temperature gradient can be harvested and stored for sustainable operation, thereby enabling battery-free nodes. Such nodes can be applicable in scenarios where small device volume and perpetual operation are desirable. Moreover, they have the potential to enable autonomous sensing and communications tasks without human intervention following the deployment. However, challenges are posed by the need to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes while guaranteeing the system performance. Since the harvesting of energy is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works designed efficient energy management schemes. Yet, designing new architectures that enable autonomous battery-free sensing and communications is an open problem. The objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art advances in this area, and foster new avenues for research. The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; --Energy management for perpetual operation; --New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; --Resource management for autonomous operations; --Operating systems for battery-free devices; --Security issues in battery-free systems; --Emerging applications by battery-free systems; --Future directions for battery-free systems; Tentative Schedule --Manuscript Due: June 26, 2016 --First Notification: Sept. 1st, 2016 --Revised version: Nov. 1st, 2016 --Final notification: Jan. 1st, 2017 --Publication Date: 2st quarter of 2017 Guest editors: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, jmchen(a)iipc.zju.edu.cn Gil Zussman, Columbia University, gil(a)ee.columbia.edu Yu (Jason) Gu, IBM Watson Health, yugu(a)us.ibm.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

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). Reviews will be single-blinded. Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, special issue on "Scalable Cyber-Physical Systems", Deadline: June 30, 2016 Datum: Mon, 30 May 2016 06:20:31 +0000 Von: Gai, Keke <kg71231w(a)PACE.EDU> Antwort an: Gai, Keke <kg71231w(a)PACE.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CFP: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, special issue on "Scalable Cyber-Physical Systems" Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are characterized by the strong interactions among cyber components and dynamic physical components. CPS is expected to play a major role in the development of next-generation smart energy systems, especially for the large scale power systems. Due to the deeply complex intertwining among different components, CPS poses fundamental challenges in multiple aspects, such as real-time data processing, distributed computing, data sensing and collection, and efficient parallel computing. Innovative technologies addressing CPS challenges in smart energy systems, such as the fast growth in system scale and complexity, the distributed control and real-time interaction between dynamic environments and physical systems, and the efficiency issues in smart homes, buildings, communities and connected vehicle systems together with their reliability, are highly desirable. In particular, studying the merging and communication between information-centric and node-centric systems from a CPS perspective is extremely promising. This special issue aims to gather recent research work in design/development of scalable computing systems for smart energy CPSs and discuss, evaluate, and improve the novel approaches of energy-aware CPSs. Our primary focus is to address novel power saving mechanisms in CPS, advanced deployments for large scaled CPS, energy-aware solutions for heterogeneous CPS, and new efficient lower power strategy of CPS. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Design methodologies for smart energy systems as cyber-physical systems * Smart home, building, community system designs * Interactions between smart home/building/community/transportation systems and grids * Renewable energy integration with smart energy CPS * Real time operations of smart energy systems and interactions with grid * Cross-layer modeling and optimization for smart energy CPS * Novel mechanisms for Plug-in Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicles * New Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) strategies in CPS * Distributed power management systems in large scale CPS * Advanced schemes of maximizing asset utilizations and efficiency enhancement * Efficient state estimation techniques in CPS * Emerging models of distributed energy systems in CPS * Lower-power heterogeneous computing for distributed CPS Submission Format The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.
