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 15, 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.

Please find below a call for papers of the special issue for Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers for the special issue of the Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-systems/call-for-papers/specia… AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- Increasing miniaturization of computing technologies and rapid advancements in communication technologies have made the heterogeneous objects of our daily lives invisibly interweave with sensors, actuators, and other computational elements, while keeping a continuous network connection. The continuous connectivity of these heterogeneous smart objects enables them to communicate with each other and with the users of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These continuously connected data, generating heterogeneous objects, produce a huge amount of data that needs to be processed, distributed, and examined under consideration of the application objectives. Processing such unstructured and semi-structured data, generated by heterogeneous sources with different contextual and conceptual representations, is a challenging task. By leveraging the synergy among the collected data, information fusion techniques can minimize the amount of data traffic, filter irrelevant data, and make ! predictions and inferences using the collected data in the IoT environment. Information fusion helps in combining the information into a new set of information while minimizing uncertainty. Researchers are leveraging information fusion techniques to minimize the uncertainty of the data for enabling the smart objects of IoT to make the reliable decisions. The exploitation of information fusion techniques in IoT will open new dimensions for designing the reliable and autonomous systems that can operate without the need for human interactions. Hence, there is a need to investigate the potential opportunities of applying information fusion in the designs of protocols and algorithms of IoT. Such investigation will open up a totally new spectrum of functionalities with unprecedented benefits for IoT-based environments. This special issue invites new and unpublished work in the domain of information fusion in an IoT context. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent research efforts in applying information fusion in IoT.

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 1st, 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.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks"
by Lars Wolf 24 May '16

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, the Internet of Things, 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).

We enthusiastically look forward to your submissions on advancements in systems for any aspect of the built environment. Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. 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. The review process is very thorough, and publications are considered to have the same value as journal publications in engineering fields. November 16-17, 2016 Stanford, California | co-located with ACM SenSys 2016 http://buildsys.acm.org/2016/ Important Dates: Abstract registration**: June 10th, 2016 AOE Paper submission deadline: June 17th, 2016 AOE Paper notification: August 15th, 2016 AOE Poster/Demo submission deadline: August 29th, 2016 AOE Poster/Demo notification deadline: September 7th, 2016 AOE Camera ready submissions: September 14, 2016 AOE ** For the abstract registration, you only need to enter the title of the paper, the list of authors and their email addresses, the PC conflicts, and a brief abstract (~150-250 words). After registering the paper's abstract, you will have an additional week to upload the PDF file of the paper (either a 10-page Full paper or a 4-page Notes paper). 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. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Sensing and control systems for managing urban infrastructure systems, such as water supply and distribution networks, wastewater treatment systems, electrical grids, transportation networks, etc.; * Sensing, actuation and management of electrical loads in residential, commercial and industrial settings; * Novel sensor methodologies, sensor networks and applications that enhance energy efficiency, energy reliability, durability and occupant comfort; * Systems that integrate infrastructure with the emerging smart grid to provide demand response and ancillary services and/or manage utility costs; * Modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other energy flows in built environments; * Distributed generation, alternative energy, renewable sources, and energy storage in buildings; * Emerging communication standards for data collection, energy control, or interoperation of disparate devices or systems; * Human in the loop sensing and control for efficient usage of electricity, gas, heating, water; * New socio-technical systems for innovative applications and services to enable more livable, workable, sustainable, and connected communities; * Localization and contextual computing for increased human-infrastructure interactions; * Security and Privacy issues for the built environments; * Optimizations interconnected and interdependent systems-of-systems, such as water, energy, or transportation systems Submission Guidelines: Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other publication.

The featured topic of the 2017 edition of EWSN is dependability in systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, industrial wireless control networks, smart vehicles, and robots. We specifically welcome contributions that aim at making these systems more reliable, predictable, safe, and secure to enable critical applications that require guaranteed performance. Topics not related to dependability are equally welcome as long as they fall into scope of the conference, as described below. The conference solicits both full technical papers, and short papers describing validated early ideas. As it happened for EWSN 2016, we will be seeking collaboration with and support from ACM/SIGBED and plan to make the proceedings appear in the ACM digital library. New this year is that a specialized committee will select a subset of the papers appearing at the conference to be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. EWSN 2017 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) in all relevant areas of networked embedded systems such as Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Wireless Sensor Networks and their applications in domains such as Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories, Smart Cars, and Smart Health. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety, security) Embedded wireless networking from physical to application layer Wireless embedded computing platforms Operating systems, middleware, and services Programming paradigms, languages, and tools Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems Applications, deployment, management, and debugging Sensing and actuation Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones Mobility, localization, tracking Embedded data management and processing Interaction with humans Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics Please ask the program chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits. *Submission instructions* EWSN 2017 is a highly selective conference. We will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process. We will also provide authors the possibility of a rebuttal before final decisions are made. Full paper submissions must have at least 8 and at most 12 pages. Short paper submissions must have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions such that the author identities are not disclosed to the reviewers. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements may not be reviewed. *Important dates* Paper registration: September 12th, 2016 Paper submission: September 19th, 2016 Authors rebuttal deadline: November 19th, 2016 Notification: December 1st, 2016 Camera-ready: December 21st, 2016

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 @ Kyoto: CALL FOR Posters,Demos and Tutorials (Deadline: July 8, 2016) Datum: Wed, 18 May 2016 09:08:16 +0200 Von: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS and Tutorials http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2016 CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS, and DATASETS The ICN poster and demo sessions are intended to showcase works-in-progress. Topics of interest are the same as those listed in the main track CFP. We strongly encourage both student and industry submissions. Both demos and posters should be accompanied by a 2 page extended abstract, which will be published in the conference proceedings. Abstract for posters, demos and datasets can be submitted via the ICN 2016 submission website. Preparation of Posters You are not required to submit the poster initially. Instead, you should submit a 2 page extended abstract. If the abstract is accepted, you will then be asked to prepare the poster. The abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed, (b) what makes this problem interesting, (c) your approach, and (d) the key contribution. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A poster should be of size 32 inches x 42 inches (this is between A0 and A1) in portrait mode. It should be visually appealing, portraying ideas primarily via diagrams rather than text. The poster will be displayed on easels. 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.
