-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016: Paper submission deadline approaching Datum: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 11:45:43 -0500 Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Antwort an: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies for multiple reception if this CfP.) *** -------------------------------------------------------------*** The Fifth IEEE Annual International Workshop on Mission- Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking *** IEEE MiSeNet 2016 *** http://people.ece.cornell.edu/haas/wnl/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2016.htm Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2016 San Francisco, CA, April 10-15, 2016 *** ----------------------------------------------------------*** *** -------------------- Call for Papers ----------------------*** * Scope and Topics Over the last two decades, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance. Wireless sensor networking has attracted the attention of practitioners and researchers from both industry and academia. This type of networks consists of a collection of tiny, resource-limited, low-reliable sensing devices that are randomly or deterministically deployed in a field of interest to monitor a physical phenomenon and report their results to a central gathering point, known as a sink. These sensing devices suffer from their scarce capabilities, such as bandwidth, storage, CPU, battery power (or energy), sensing, and communication. In particular, mission-oriented WSNs are viewed as time-varying systems composed of autonomous mobile sensing devices (e.g., using mobile robots) that collaborate and coordinate distributedly to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. The major challenge in the design of mission-oriented WSNs is due to their dynamic topology and architecture, which is caused mainly by sensing devices mobility. The latter may have significant impact on the performance of mission-oriented WSNs in terms of their sensing coverage and network connectivity. In such continuously dynamic environments, sensing devices should self-organize and move purposefully to accomplish any mission in their deployment field while extending the operational network lifetime. In particular, the design of mission-oriented WSNs should account for trade-offs between several attributes, such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, and delay. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs research and practice. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of mission-oriented WSNs. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications. The topics of interest to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented WSNs * Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs * System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs * Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs * Cross-layer design for mission-oriented WSNs * Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs * Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs * Coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs * Deployment and localization in mission-oriented WSNs * Uncertainty and opportunistic communications in mission-oriented WSNs * Topology control and fault-tolerance in mission-oriented WSNs * Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs * In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs * Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs * Purposeful mobility in mission-oriented WSNs * Target detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs * Privacy and security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs * Cloud computing and its applications to mission-oriented WSNs * Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs * Submission IEEE MiSeNet 2016 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability (i.e., within the workshop scope), novelty, and merit. Submitted papers are limited to 9 pages. All submissions should be formatted in standard IEEE conference style for publication in the conference Proceedings.

Today UAVs are equipped with many onboard sensors such as instrument measurement units (IMUs), global positioning systems (GPS), lasers, and cameras. Using this information, UAVs can work cooperatively in groups or swarms through a wide variety of scenarios, raising important challenges in their cooperative decision making and control. However, the collected context information from these sensors can also be transmitted and shared via wireless multihop communications with not only other UAVs, but also ground control stations and people on the ground. The new generation of smartphones and tablets is capable of establishing wireless communications and sensing a huge number of context variables. Thus, it is possible to plan cooperative missions that comprise both UAVs and other unmanned or manned ground devices, including tablets and smartphones. The cooperation of UAVs with the citizens carrying the portable devices will lead to a plethora of novel applications related to, for example, public protection, aerial monitoring, and transportation of goods. The purpose of this special issue is to publish high quality research papers related to novel applications of UAVs and mobile and wireless networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Cooperative tactical movements, mobility models, and decision making of UAVs in monitoring applications - Collision and obstacle avoidance using context information - Wireless communication technologies for UAV based applications - Data processing and fusion from UAVs, including artificial intelligence and data mining based strategies - Novel cooperative decisions and control systems, including formation reconfiguration - Communications protocols for UAVs: routing, broadcasting, and data dissemination - Integration and interoperability of wireless UAVs with other wireless multihop ad hoc networks such as MANETs, VANETs, and DTNs - Application of UAVs in disaster scenarios - Multiple UAVs path planning with collision avoidance - UAV-WSN cooperative localization - Context-aware information systems using UAVs - Monitoring applications (aerial photography and video) using UAVs - Simulation, prototypes, and real experimentation of UAV based applications Authors can submit their manuscripts via the Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/misy/auav/.

Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine FT - Impact of Next-Generation Mobile Technologies on IoT-Cloud Convergence Datum: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:36:25 +0600 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *CALL FOR PAPERS* *IEEE Communications Magazine* Feature Topic: *Impact of Next-Generation Mobile Technologies on IoT-Cloud Convergence* *URL: * http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/impact-next-generation-mobile-technologies… In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought the vision of a more connected world into reality with emerging volume of data and numerous services that are delivered via heterogeneous access networks. At the same time, Cloud Computing came into play to offer enormous storage, computing facilities and data sharing opportunities. However, the convergence of IoT and Cloud can provide new opportunities for both technologies. It can open a new horizon of ubiquitous sensing, interconnection of devices, service sharing, and provisioning to support better communication and collaboration among people and things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. It can also support powerful processing and storage facilities of huge IoT data streams (big data) beyond the capability of individual “things”, as well as to provide automated decision making in real time. Thus, such convergence can enable the development of new innovative applications in various emerging areas such as smart cities, smart grids, smart healthcare and others to improve all aspects of life. While researchers have been making advances in the study of IoT and cloud convergence, very little attention has been given to the impact of next generation mobile and wireless networking technologies such as 5G wireless networks, software-defined networking (SDN), and cloud radio access networks (Cloud RAN) on this convergence paradigm. The next generation networking technologies will be the success factor for realizing this convergence since they will contribute to facilitate resource constrained devices to communicate efficiently with faster data generation and processing as well as improve QoS/QoE in data transmission. In addition, it can pave the way for a new form of interaction between IoT and Cloud by supporting better spectral efficiency, network capacity, mobility and coverage. This FT (Feature Topic) targets a mixed audience of researchers and investigators from several communities and research fields, including those from communications, networks, IoT, multimedia signal processing, distributed and cloud computing as well as other related disciplines to share and exchange new concepts, ideas, principles, and methodologies, aiming to advance the convergence paradigm. We seek high quality papers, which, have not been published elsewhere and have scientific value relevant to topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Next generation wireless communication architectures and protocols for IoT- Cloud - Resource allocation, management and configurations for IoT-Cloud over 5G - IoT big data storage, processing, analysis in Cloud over 5G - Cloud-based IoT mobility management and QoE/QoS enhancement - Cloud RAN and spectrum management for IoT - Cloud-centric software defined wireless networking architecture for IoT - Test bed and experimental platforms of IoT deployed in Cloud environment over 5G - Cloud computing and virtualization for IoT networking infrastructure supporting 5G - 5G-supported wireless network test-beds, simulators, open-source codes, and tools for IoT - Data security, privacy and reliability scheme for the combined IoT- Cloud - Innovative applications and communication protocols for the combination of IoT and Cloud in various fields (e.g., health, multimedia bigdata and so forth) *SUBMISSIONS* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid special section on "Smart Grid Cyber-Physical Security" Datum: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 15:26:49 +0100 Von: cfp 2015 <sgcps2015(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: cfp 2015 <sgcps2015(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid special section on "Smart Grid Cyber-Physical Security" Smart grid proactively uses state-of-the-art information technologies in communications, computing, and control to improve efficiency, sustainability, stability, and security of the electrical grid. It is a complex and mission-critical network where real-time intelligence enhances performance in aspects encompassing power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. Integration of advanced communications and control into the physical grid, unfortunately, may create vulnerabilities that can be readily exploited by adversaries to compromise the grid’s safety, through attacks such as data manipulation and false data injection. It is therefore imperative to understand the fundamentals and engineering aspects of cyber-physical mechanisms that can lead to critical failures. Based on this understanding, system designers and operators may implement robust defenses for attack detection, mitigation, and forensics to improve the grid’s reliability and resilience. At the same time, real-time and fine-grained sensing of information raises privacy concerns that must be addressed. We plan this special section to address the critical areas of cyber-physical security and privacy for smart grid. We welcome important research advances in both basic science and applied engineering. Survey papers on important topics that unify or significantly improve our understanding of complex and seemingly disparate nodes of knowledge, as well as real-world case studies and field experience of major practical value, are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Methodologies for modeling and assessment of smart grid cyber-physical security and privacy • Privacy protection and trust management • Intrusion detection and system integrity • Sensing and control for attack detection and mitigation • Secure and trustworthy demand-response management • SCADA and industrial control system (ICS) system security • Cyber-physical security of vehicle-to-grid systems • Cyber-physical security of energy storage and management systems • Cyber-physical security of distributed energy resources (DER) systems • Cyber-physical security of renewable energy systems (e.g., large-scale PV and wind farms) • Cyber-physical security of micro-grids and DC grids • Cyber-physical emergency and security control/management • Game theoretic, big data, and machine learning approaches for smart grid security • Economics and incentives for smart grid security and privacy • Authentication, key management, and access control This special issue solicits original work that is not under consideration for publication in other venues.

The workshop, now in its eleventh year, provides the RTOS community with an opportunity to meet, to exchange ideas, to network, and to discuss future directions. OSPERT’16 strives for an inclusive and diverse program and solicits a range of varied contributions. To this end, the following types of submissions are sought: 1. proposals for stand-alone presentations (including talks on open problems, demos & tutorials, calls to action, etc.); 2. proposals for reports on empirical experiments (including replication studies, preliminary experiments preceding a full conference submission, and negative experience reports discussing failed approaches); and 3. technical papers (including short work-in-progress papers and full workshop papers). See http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~kaiser/events/ospert16/formats.html for a detailed description of the different contribution formats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: April 28, 2016 Acceptance notification: May 27, 2016 Final manuscript deadline: June 10, 2016 Workshop: July 5, 2016 ECRTS'16: July 6-8, 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST OSPERT'16 is open to all topics related to providing a reliable and efficient operating environment for real-time and embedded applications. Developers of embedded RTOSs are faced with many challenges arising from two opposite needs: on the one hand there is a need for extreme resource usage optimization (processor cycles, energy, network bandwidth, etc.), and an the other hand there are also increasing demands in terms of scalability, flexibility, isolation, adaptivity, reconfigurability, predictability, serviceability, and certifiability, to name a few. Further, while special-purpose RTOSs continue to be used for many embedded applications, real-time services are also increasingly introduced and used in general-purpose operating systems, and market pressures continue to blur the lines between the two formerly distinct classes of operating systems. Notable examples are the various flavors of real-time Linux that support time-sensitive applications, the emergence of commercial and open-source real-time hypervisors, as well as the growth in features and scope of embedded OS and middleware specifications such as AUTOSAR. OSPERT'16 is dedicated to the advances in RTOS technology required to address these trends. As such, areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Case studies and experience reports - Certification and verification of RTOSs and middleware - Coordinated management of multiple resources - Dynamic reconfiguration and upgrading - Empirical comparisons and evaluations of RTOSs - Flexible processor, memory, and I/O scheduling - Interaction with reconfigurable hardware - Operating system standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, ARINC, POSIX, etc.) - Power and energy management - Quality of Service guarantees - Real-time Linux variants - Real-time virtualization and hypervisors - RTOSs for manycore platforms - Scalability, from very small scale embedded systems to full-fledged RTOSs - Security and fault tolerance for embedded real-time systems - Support for multiprocessor architectures - Support for component-based development -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION FORMATS - Stand-alone presentation proposals: abstract (~500 words). - Short WiP papers: up to three A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting. - Full workshop papers: up to six A4 pages, standard IEEE formatting. Visit http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~kaiser/events/ospert16/ for further details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CO-LOCATED WITH ECRTS'16 OSPERT 2016 is a satellite workshop of the 28th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2016), the premier European venue for presenting research into the broad area of real-time and embedded systems.
