-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 10:41:22 +0100 Von: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) http://osomi2016.weebly.com/ Scope of the workshop: Mobile networks and mobile ad hoc networks in particular have a long history of research on spontaneously, on-the-fly creating an infrastructure that is suitable for the execution of particular communication tasks. In the past, however, the service to be supported by the network has been considered as something fairly static and simple: unicasting, broadcasting, perhaps geocasting. The state of the art in services, however, moves toward dynamically creating services as necessary, on-demand (consider Network Function Virtualization as an example). For such dynamically, on-the-fly created services, support in fixed networks by dynamically creating infrastructures has received some attention in the recent past. The idea of executing such dynamically configured, dynamically distributed services on a wireless, mobile infrastructure has, however, not been considered in the literature so far. The challenges here are hard: can we reconfigure a wireless network to support a given service layout, e.g., by on-the-fly creation of distributed antenna arrays to span large distances? Can we assign roles of multiple services to different nodes, taking both service and application needs explicitly into account? We welcome submission on the joint creating and management of both the infrastructure and the service, not necessarily limited to wireless or mobile ad hoc networks. Example topics include, but are not limited to: • Reconfigurable services in reconfigurable wireless and mobile networks • Wireless SDN • Distributed applications in mobile networks, e.g., signal processing • Reuse of application building blocks • Role assignment, component placement and scaling, substrate reconfiguration • Multi-tenancy of wireless domains • Network Function Virtualisation applied to wireless processing The workshop is colocated with Mobihoc 2016 ( http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2016/), which takes place in Paderborn, Germany. Important Dates • Submission deadline: 15 of March, 2016 • Authors notification: 1st of May, 2016 • Camera-ready due: 1st of June, 2016 • Workshop date: July 5th, 2016 Submission instructions will be posted on the workshop’s web page.

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.

These devices typically operate using energy harvested from their environment e.g., RF, solar, vibration, etc. When energy is intermittently available, IPDs can perform computation, use peripheral devices (e.g., sensors), and communicate (e.g., via backscatter). These devices currently operate at approximately 10 microJ/Byte energy consumption, enabling today's devices to support simple, short-lived, primarily isolated applications. With improvements in computer architectures, hardware and software systems, the communications stack, emerging memory technologies, and energy harvesting and transfer, we envision devices that operate in the sub-nJ/Byte range, supporting long-running, sophisticated, sensor-rich, widely-communicating applications. This workshop exists to bring together researchers at the intersection of programming languages, software systems, extreme low-power computer architecture, and embedded communication and computing devices. Call for Papers: The workshop seeks paper submission in four main areas: IPDs (Intermittently Powered Devices) IPDs at the limits of minimum power consumption - HLPDs (Hilariously Low Power Devices) IPDs that are embedded - DEIs (Deeply Embedded IPDs) IPDs and communication - HLPComms (Hilariously Low-Power Communication) These areas are mapped into topic for consideration that include: Software-defined wirelessly-programmable IPDs Programming techniques for IPDs Backscatter and other ultra-low power communication primitives System support for reliability and robustness to intermittence Computer architecture for IPDs Operating systems for IPDs Applications of emerging, non-volatile memory and compute devices in IPDs Novel energy harvesting and transfer techniques Tradeoffs between power transfer and communication and coding for both Error-correction and control (both for storage and communication) Theoretical limits of computation and communication in IPDs Studies and experience reports on emerging IPD applications Testbeds, platform engineering reports, and experimental datasets Deadlines: Paper Submission: February 15, 2016 (GMT-5) Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2016 (GMT-5) Final paper submission: March 18, 2016 (GMT-5) Workshop day: April 2, 2016 Paper Submission Guidelines Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Papers can be at most 6 pages in length including figures, tables, and references.

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.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors. Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering etc. The goal 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 fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Emerging Technologies for Disaster Management IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing, Special Issue/Section Datum: Fri, 22 Jan 2016 08:50:21 +0800 Von: Deze Zeng <dazzae(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Deze Zeng <dazzae(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue/Section on Emerging Technologies for Disaster Management. CFP in PDF : <http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_etdm.…> http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_etdm.… We live in a world in which natural and man-made disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, and industrial accidents) often occur. These disasters are so sudden in nature, so causing loss of human lives and interruption of essential public services (such as health care, electricity, water, transportation and communication). Disaster management aims to reduce or avoid potential losses from hazards, ensure prompt and appropriate assistance to victims and achieve a rapid and effective recovery. In recent years, new computing/communication technologies have emerged to improve the efficiency of disaster management; for example, crowdsourcing has been applied in the Nepal earthquake to collect the latest information from earthquake-affected areas and create a dynamic map that shows the locations in which aid and relief are needed. Although some preliminary attempts have been made to apply emerging technologies for disaster management, there are many open challenges that need to be addressed to fully exploit the potentials of these promising technologies. Various technologies must be considered in the entire disaster management process and its many phases, including prevention, preparedness, relief and recovery. Although disasters cannot often be prevented, new technologies must be explored to predict and prepare through robust and resilient infrastructures. After a disaster occurs, advanced technologies are needed to assist in searching and rescuing victims. Since power and communication are usually interrupted, it is important to quickly recover communication using energy-efficient technologies, so that processing of information can take place; furthermore, good planning and scheduling can also help to quickly recover from a disaster. This special issue focuses on covering the most recent research results that apply emerging technologies and address challenges related to disaster management. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Social networks for disaster management - Victim localization and searching - Resilient network/communication and processing under a disaster environment 、 - Resource planning and allocation in a disaster environment - Energy-efficient technologies for computing/communication for disaster - Sensing technologies for disaster management - Robotics for disaster management - Big data for disaster management - New devices/technologies for disaster management Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.
