Standardization is mostly complete with voluntary roll-out starting in Japan. Current generation is based mostly on broadcasting of beacons. As we go along, this first generation of vehicular networking technologies will face challenges in addressing the needs of connected vehicles and new applications that would go beyond the 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) based on some predefined rules. 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, communications services providers, content providers, etc). In this view, one can exploit the information 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 information collected will be voluminous (big data) and will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grid and smart city operations. This expanded view will open up new opportunities as well as new challenges in managing the highly amorphous vehicular network structure and blending the "Internet of Vehicles" into the "Vehicles of the Internet" by making vehicular resources an integral part of the existing infrastructure. In other words, the Vehicular cloud becomes an entity of its own right and cooperates with edge clouds and Internet clouds. Potential topics of the Workshop are: - 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 Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 6 pages including all figures, tables and references.

by Lars Wolf 28 Feb '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magzaine - SI on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability Datum: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:56:02 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> Antwort an: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | IEEE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON | | Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: | | Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) - Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates - Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements - Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access - Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks - Interoperability among diverse wireless networks - Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network - Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability - Scalable cooperative communications and network coding - Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture - Scalable energy efficiency wireless network - Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture - Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks - Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines regarding manuscript content and format.

by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2016 17:21:03 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email =================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Workshop on IoT-SoS: Internet of Things Smart Objects and Services* *in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2016 * *Coimbra, Portugal, June 21 - 24, 2016* *http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/* <http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/> =================================================================================== OVERVIEW =========== The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, three of the most important challenges are: (1) Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. (2) The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. (3). Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users’ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving “by design”. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work. Topics include, but are not limited to: • System architectures for the IoT/M2M • Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications • Modeling and simulation of large¬scale IoT/M2M scenarios • Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M • Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications • Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications • Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices • Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing • Testbeds for the IoT/M2M • Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT/M2M context • Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes and pilots • Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities IMPORTANT DATES =================== *Paper Submission: by March 10, 2016* Notification of Acceptance: by April 15, 2016 Camera-ready Paper Due: by April 29, 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ====================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

They enable a large scope of new applications that require all these objects to communicate, to interact, to share data and processes. All these objects have popped up from there to there, using their own communication means, OS or language. A key open issue to realize the full capacity of such concept is thus interoperability. How to make them fully compliant? This conference will present some current research and open issues in interoperability in IoT, ranging from virtualization to standardization.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [EASED] CfP EASED 2016 Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:54:10 +0100 Von: Stefan Naumann <s.naumann(a)umwelt-campus.de> An: Liste "Energy Aware Software - Engineering and Development" <eased(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> * Apologies for cross-postings * Dear colleagues, we want kindly invite you to the 5th Workshop “Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development” (EASED@EnviroInfo2016). Deadline for full papers: March 31 2016 Deadline for Work in Progress, Short Contributions and Posters: July 15 2016 More information http://enviroinfo2016.org/sessions/energy-aware-software-engineering-and-de… Workshop Goals and Topics Software-Engineering aims at developing and evolving software systems in an economic manner, considering project specific needs and quality goals. One of these quality goals, which become more and more important, is “energy efficiency of software systems”. Improving the energy consumption of mobile devices will not only increase the uptime and battery lifespan, it will also improve the carbon footprint. Viewing energy efficiency, is not only restricted to mobile devices, it also affects e.g. embedded systems and data centers, where energy is a major factor in costs and environmental burden. Next to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design, on operating system level, and by optimized code generation, software engineering techniques also contribute to optimizing energy consumption by improving software design: wasting energy can be avoided by e.g. removing energy code smells, improving data-base queries and storage methodologies, exchanging fast, but energy consuming components by slower but more energy efficient alternatives. The EASED workshop series on Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development, which will be held at EnviroInfo for the 5th time, focusses on the intensive presentation and discussion of methods and technologies to optimize the energy consumption of systems by improving the used software. Among others, these techniques include techniques * detecting energy smells, * optimizing code, * avoiding energy waste, * measuring energy consumption, caused by software, and * modeling software caused energy behavior of embedded systems. EASED@EnviroInfo requests for papers according the EnviroInfo paper style, e.g. presenting * online and offline approaches and techniques to estimate or measure the software related energy consumption of embedded systems and/or its components, * techniques validating improvement of energy consumption by these techniques, * models, metrics, or profiles representing the energy consumption of complex systems and their components like memory, CPU, bus systems, displays, communication interfaces, * approaches to derive energy models, metrics, or profiles from existing systems, * standardized procedures to compare and certify the energy consumption of software intensive systems, and experience reports on applying these techniques and procedures Proceedings of the workshop will be published within the EnviroInfo proceedings. Quality Characteristics and Workshop Management Workshop submissions will be handled by the EnviroInfo submission system. Submissions will be selected based on their scientific contribution to the workshop´s topics and their potential to stimulate intensive discussions on the energy-efficiency on software intensive systems. Format of the Workshop The EASED workshop series are carried out as discussion-intensive workshops, to provoke intensive collaborations among the participants, so discussions within the presentations are welcome. Next to presenting papers, further discussion sessions will be planned to set up and establish intensive collaborations between the participants, maybe to initiate further common research activities. Contributions Depending on your aims considering the publication of your work, we invite you to send us your abstracts or full papers according to the Contributions and Dates information page.

The disparity between solutions in these networks results in systems that could operate in completely independent realms. The reality is that connected mobile and stationary devices can benefit from co-operation between vehicular and personal/mobile/local networks from granular to macro levels. Applications can encompass different areas ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT), Device-to-Device Communication (D2D), Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), Infotainment, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), etc. Heterogeneous vehicular networking will enable seamless resource utilization across different networks and systems to capture resource utility. The aim of this special issue is to discuss the most recent advances in the interdisciplinary research areas encompassing heterogeneous networking across vehicular, mobile and local networks access technologies. The special issue will bring together researchers from diverse fields to share new ideas, novel research contributions, field experiment results, and standardization effort experiences in the area. This Special Issue also welcome relevant research surveys.

According to an "anti-Copernican" view, humans are put back at the centre of the "Internet universe", whenever they are in the loop of cyber-world services. Applications, middlewares, but even Internet services and network protocols are more and more designed incorporating Human Individual and Social Behavioural (HISB) models. This is particularly the case when users' personal devices are themselves the network, or provide services to each other such as in mobile self-organising networks, because devices become the "proxies" of their users in the cyber world. Interestingly, similar approaches are also explored in Internet technologies in developing scenarios, where users' participation is often exploited as another resource for networking services. This vision, that we call "the Internet of People" (IoP) generalises emerging concepts and technologies such as IoT, which put the emphasis on the communication between "machines", and adapt to the users' behaviour only as an afterthought. Designing IoP protocols, services and applications thus requires a profound inter-disciplinary approach, where "non-ICT disciplines" such as social sciences, cognitive sciences, economics, complex network sciences, impact the way Internet algorithms are conceived and defined. Note that other types of inter-disciplinary design patterns i.e., bio-inspired approaches where non-human natural behaviours are used as inspiration for network protocols and services, are out of scope. This workshop aims to stimulate research following this view, and aggregate an inter-disciplinary community of researchers around the concept of the Internet of People. Specifically, we seek papers presenting IoP approaches, addressing any layer of the canonical Internet stack or cross-layer combinations thereof, where the human behaviour is at the centre of the design. Also, we welcome submissions that analyse how the human behaviour is affected (and possibly modified) by the use of Internet systems, and how the latter can be improved or re-designed accordingly. The workshop will accept papers where quantitative evidence is available or quantitative approaches are applied. Therefore, purely methodological papers or qualitative analyses will be considered out of scope. Papers proposing novel, thought provoking ideas, possibly presenting preliminary results and analyses are also welcome. However, we do not call for position papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following - Networking IoP protocols based on HISB models - Information-centric IoP protocols based on HISB models - IoP services, service-composition and middleware solutions based on HISB models - Online Social Network services based on HISB models - Analysis and modelling of human behaviours in massively diffused Internet services, such as Online Social Networks - Complex network approaches to IoP - IoP protocols and services in developing regions - Privacy, security and trust mechanisms for IoP based on HISB models - QoE aspects in IoP - Human-centric, inter-disciplinary IoP solutions for IoT scenarios - Crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, pervasive sensing in IoP - Test and experimental results with IoP solutions - Architecture, design and implementation of IoP protocols - Modelling, analysis and characterisation of IoP solutions For any additional information please visit the workshop website at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/iopw2016/, or contact the workshop chairs at iopw2016 <at> iit <dot> cnr <dot> it BEST PAPER AWARD ---------------- IoP-W 2016 will grant a Best Paper Award sponsored by IFIP TC6.

Surrounding energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, etc., can be collected and stored for sustainable operation, leading to a new area: battery-free systems. Getting rid of batteries, nodes can be applicable to scenarios where nodes with large volume and limited lifetime are not preferred. Such battery-free systems have great potential to function autonomously, doing sensing and communications tasks without attended operation from human after deployment. The challenging issue lies in how to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes such that the system performance can be guaranteed. Since the energy arrival at nodes is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works have been done to design efficient energy management schemes. However, it is still pressing to design a new architecture that enables autonomous battery-free sensing and communications. The objective of this call is to bring more thoughts, effort, and applications in the related areas that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call 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 The manuscript must be original and has not been under submission in any other journals or conferences.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] [CFP] ACM TOIT Special Issue on Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:30:52 +0100 Von: Fulvio Frati <fulvio.frati(a)UNIMI.IT> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receives multiple copies of this CFP] **************************************************************************** *********** ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) http://toit.acm.org/ Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities **************************************************************************** *********** As world populations concentrate in urban areas, communities worldwide face new challenges. On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being. We list below some indicative topics of interest organized by themes. * Connected Communities Infrastructure and Supporting Technologies - Internet of Everything (Iox) And Anything/Everything As A Service (Xaas) For Connected Communities - Sustainable Large-Scale Sensor Networks For Urban Environments - High Performance Computing/Networking For Sensor Data Processing - Service Frameworks for Connected Communities - Privacy-Preservation In The Urban Infrastructure - Security and Resilience Of The Communications Infrastructure * Connected Communities Service Frameworks and Protocols to Integrate Rural Communities - Solutions for Urban Data Storage and Access - IoT-to-BURD Supply Chain - Ontology-Based Fusion of Smart City Datasets - Connected Community Governance and Management * Connected Communities Applications - Citizen Participation and E-Democracy - Healthcare and Lifestyle Data Processing and Analysis - Support for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Cloud-Based Analytics for Urban Decision-Making - Real-Time Scalable Analytics for Large-Scale Datasets ** Deadlines Submissions: April 30th, 2016 First decisions: July 15th, 2016 Revisions: October 1st, 2016 Final decisions: December 1st, 2016 Publication materials due: January 1st, 2017 ** Sunmission To submit a paper,please follow the instructions on http://toit.acm.org/submission.html ** Guest Editors - Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University,UAE http://www.kustar.ac.ae/pages/prof-ernesto-damiani - Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/centres/success/iat/tiki-index.php?page=rkowalczy k - Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK https://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/gp.parr.html ** Contact Please send queries about this CFP to toit.asc.ge(a)gmail.com ** ACM TOIT Editor in Chief Munindar P.Singh Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University mpsingh(a)acm.org http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

Pervasive sensing enables collecting and sharing information about mobile users and their surrounding environments, which promises to enhance the awareness of the cyber, physical, and social environment and thus provide essential supports, in forms of services, applications, and so forth, to our daily lives. More and more researchers started to investigate the potential of pervasive sensing in different disciplines. However, a diverse range of problems and challenges remain existent and need emerging solutions, especially on theoretical studies, practical applications, architectures, and experimental prototypes issues. The special issue aims at providing a forum for presenting the most recent advances on emerging technologies in pervasive sensing. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Architecture and framework design for pervasive sensing - Algorithmic paradigms, models, and analysis for pervasive sensing - Energy harvesting and management for pervasive sensing - Delay tolerant technologies for pervasive sensing - Security, privacy, and trust protocol design for pervasive sensing - Incentive mechanism design for pervasive sensing - Sensing data communication and sharing technologies - Big data analysis and management for pervasive sensing - Scheduling algorithm design for pervasive sensing - System/platform and prototypes development on pervasive sensing *Important Dates* Submission deadline: May 30th, 2016 Initial feedback to authors: July 30th, 2016 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 2017 *Submission Guidelines* All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/. Authors should select “SI: Pervasive Sensing”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material).

Fwd: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems'

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: WS 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' Datum: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:54:44 +0100 Von: Kai Jakobs <kai.jakobs(a)COMSYS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: RWTH Aachen University An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ***With apologies for cross-posting*** Call for Papers Workshop 'Standardisation of Cyber-Physical Systems' in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2016 30 September 2016 The ongoing mergers of formerly separate technical sectors may eventually change the whole standardisation landscape. Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process? Submissions ----------- Please send previously unpublished manuscripts to Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. Full papers (up to 14 pages) and Short Papers (up to 6 pages); both in English or German, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer's 'Lecture Notes in Informatics' (LNI), see (in German) https://www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI_Vorlage_Word.d…).

They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon's announced drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Aerial communication protocol design - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Communication for drone coordination - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying approaches - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - Positioning and localization - Autonomous flight - Vision and object tracking - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds - Micro flying systems - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Mission and context-aware solutions - Mobility-aware and 3D communications - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - MAV-based sensor networks - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Human drone interaction - Acceptance, security, reliability, and privacy aspects - UAV applications, e.g., in smart city, automated map generation, entertainment, emergency, precise agriculture, social good, etc. DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.
