It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today’s smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc. In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: • Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city • Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; • Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; • Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities • Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; • Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; • Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; • Crowd sourcing in smart cities; • IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; • Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; • Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); • Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; • Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; • Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; • Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; • Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management *All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library*. *Submission Instructions*: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of *27th March 2016*.

At its core, we solicit papers that address important challenges in access/communication, energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing. We strongly encourage papers on emerging mobile/wireless topics including but not limited to next generation (5G) mobile networks, Internet of things, machine-to-machine communications, visible light communication, novel access paradigms/modalities, smart devices, wearable computing, and mobile data science/analysis. We also invite papers that integrate mobile/wireless research with innovations in cloud computing and software defined networking. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. In addition to regular, full research papers, the conference also invites submission in the following categories: Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as description of the practical lessons learned. The experiences papers will be evaluated by the MobiCom technical program committee, primarily for (i) the richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks as well as on the society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is not suitable as an experience paper. The selected experience papers will be a part of the MobiCom technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the f! ull papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Experience:". Challenge Papers The conference also invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research.

-------- 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Workshop on Hilariously Low-Power Computing: Pushing the Boundaries of Intermittently Powered Devices (HLPC2016) Datum: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 10:14:30 -0500 Von: Kasim Sinan YILDIRIM <k.s.yildirim(a)TUDELFT.NL> Antwort an: Kasim Sinan YILDIRIM <k.s.yildirim(a)TUDELFT.NL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Workshop on Hilariously Low-Power Computing: Pushing the Boundaries of Intermittently Powered Devices (HLPC2016) Co-located with ASPLOS'16 April 2, 2016, Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.hlpc2016.com/index.html Scope: Intermittently Powered Devices (IPDs) are embedded devices that have no tethered power supply and very little, or no energy storage capacity. 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.
