Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) - Call for Posters and Demos Datum: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 09:27:31 -0700 Von: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <lmottola(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) 15-17 February 2016, Graz, Austria Call for Posters and Demos The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on premier research results at the intersection of embedded systems and wireless networking. Along with full research papers, EWSN solicits submissions of poster and demo abstracts whose contribution will be publicly presented during the conference. The poster session at EWSN will provide a forum for researchers to present their work in progress and to receive feedback from experts attending the conference. In parallel to the poster session, the demo session will offer a unique opportunity to showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference attendees. The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers. Please refer to www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 more details. Submission: Demo and poster abstracts must not exceed 2 pages. Titles should start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ..." depending on the case. 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 intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. A LaTex template is available at www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 under Calls -> Posters & Demos. At the same page, you find a link where to perform the actual submission. As we particularly welcome contributions from students, the submission system offers an option to explicitly signal whether the main author is a student. Both poster and demo abstracts may optionally complement the submission with a video of at most 2 minutes that further illustrates the work at hand. If the abstract is accepted, the video will be made available directly from the conference website. Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference’s topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings that appear in the ACM Digital Library. Presentation at the conference: In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot in a further "1-minute madness" session within the main program. In this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 1-minute speech. Attendees will be given an online link where to cast a vote for what they think was the best 1-minute poster or demo teaser. Best poster and demo awards will be decided based on the outcome of the vote. Important dates: Submission: December 4th, 2015 Notification: December 18th, 2015 Poster and Demo Chairs: Olaf Landsiedel (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden) Luca Mottola (Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and SICS Swedish ICT) Program Committee: Yiran Shen (National University of Singapore/MIT Alliance) Rajib Rana (University of Southern Queensland, Australia) Chun Liu (Henan University, China) Junfeng Wu (KTH, Sweden) Marco Zimmerling (ETHZ, Switzerland) Frederik Hermans (University of Uppsala, Sweden) Alessandro Sivieri (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) Zhichao Cao (Tsinghua University, China) Oana Iova (University of Trento, Italy) Christoph Sommer (University of Paderborn, Germany) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] ACM HotMobile 2016: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 15:24:12 +0000 Von: Clinch, Sarah <s.clinch(a)lancaster.ac.uk> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it <iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it> CALL FOR PAPERS The 17th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2016) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 23-24 February, 2016 St. Augustine, Florida, USA ACM HotMobile 2017, the Seventeenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. Polished mini-papers with in-depth evaluations will be less competitive than unconventional, bold, or creative ideas likely to lead to discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Wearable computing, Internet of Things, sensing, and context-awareness * HCI issues related to mobile computing security and privacy * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. The deadline for submissions is Monday, October 12, 2015, 11:59pm EST. Acceptance notifications will occur on or before Friday, December 11, 2015. ACM HotMobile 2016 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference simultaneously or shortly after publication at HotMobile is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will be returned without review. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should be six (6) or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2016 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, feel free to send an e-mail to the PC chair at: prabal(a)eecs.umich.edu <mailto:prabal@eecs.umich.edu>

Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources, and may allow the data to come from previously inaccessible locations and contexts. CASPer 2016 provides a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing and crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets • Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Trust and reputation systems for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Crowd assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data • Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks • Crowd assisted pervasive systems and communications • Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications • Novel largescale and enterprise crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Paper Submission Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings.

Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents and improve safety, mitigate the impact of congestion, and overall provide a more comfortable experience. Towards this goal, the 2015 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. IEEE VNC 2015 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster session to allow the authors to closely interact with, and obtain feedback from, the conference audience on new or on-going research contributions related to vehicular networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2015 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations related to vehicular networking, describing either mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries as well as universities. We especially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of vehicular networks, including ITS * Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications * Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications * Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.) * In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired) * Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.) * Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC / link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport, applications etc.) * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks * Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks * Network and QoS management for vehicular networks * Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks * Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies * Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment * Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles * Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-application) * Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks Conference Venue ------------------------------------------------ The conference will be hosted in Kyoto, Japan at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Kyoto, known as the Cultural Heart of Japan, was the imperial capital of Japan for over a millennium and is one of the best preserved cities in Japan. Seventeen UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites are located in and around Kyoto, 1600 Buddhist temples, 400 Shinto shrines, as well as countless famous gardens and palaces. At the same time, Kyoto is very much a modern city, home to close to 1.5 million people. Kansai International Airport is just 75 minutes out from the city center. Manuscript submissions ------------------------------------------------------ Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. A demo paper submission should include an overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be showcased to the attendees. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, it will be downloaded by the demo co-chairs such that it can be hosted on our website to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will then also be advertised on the conference website. For all accepted demonstration proposals, the demo co-chairs will follow up with the authors to obtain requests for required equipment and/or facilities (power outlets, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc.). Demonstrations may be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background, and the technical content to be demonstrated.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement due to cross posting. CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ Special Issue in Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems Journal Mobile Edge Computing: Opportunities, Solutions, and Challenges Submission Deadline: 30th December, 2015 Future Generation Computer Systems invites manuscript submissions in the area of "Mobile Edge Computing: Opportunities, Solutions, and Challenges" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems/call-fo… AIM and SCOPE: ------------------------- The cloud computing facilitates users with several opportunities by providing wide range of services and virtually unlimited available resources. The large pool of resources and services has enabled the emergence of several new applications, such as virtual reality, smart grids, and smart building control. However, the euphoria transforms into a problem for delay-sensitive applications, which need to meet the delay requirements. The problem becomes clearer and more intense as several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life as in case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Current cloud computing paradigm is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To address the problem, researchers have coined a term of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) that was introduced to bring the cloud services and resources closer to the user proximity by leveraging the available resources in the edge networks. MEC aims to enable the billions of connected mobile devices to execute the real-time compute-intensive applications directly at the network edge. The distinguishing features of MEC are its closeness to end-users, mobility support, and dense geographical deployment of the MEC servers. Despite the several advantages, realizing the vision of MEC is challenging task because of the administrative policies and security concerns. There is a need to investigate the key requirements and potential opportunities for enabling the vision of MEC. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the domain of MEC. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent developments in MECs. The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - Identification of incentives for MEC service providers - MEC architecture: peculiar features and evolution - User transparent application execution frameworks for MEC - Real-time communication interfaces and protocols for enabling the communication between MEC client and MEC server, between MEC servers, between MEC server and the cloud server - Smart MEC scheduler to improve resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability - Resource monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism - MEC resources allocation and management - Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction - MEC functionalities virtualization - Data storage, processing, and management at MEC platform - Simulation models for MEC - Performance evaluation of MEC simulators and platforms - Deployment strategies of MEC Servers - Admission control for MEC - Pricing and billing models for MEC - Lightweight authentication mechanisms that are also feasible to run on the resource constrained devices such as smart sensors - Open issues, challenges and future perspective for MEC Important Dates: ----------------------- Manuscript Due: 30th December 2015 Acceptance notification: 30th April 2016 Revised paper due: 30th June 2016 Final manuscript due: 30 August 2016 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 25 Dec 2016 Submission Guidelines: --------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/. Authors should select “SI:MECS”, 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).

September 2015 14:16:06 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] PAM 2016 - Call for Papers: Deadline is approaching! Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Please forward to anyone you believe may be interested. Thanks! Passive and Active Measurement Conference 2016 (PAM 2016) 31 March - 1 April 2016 Heraklion, Crete, Greece http://www.ics.forth.gr/pam2016/ <http://www.ics.forth.gr/pam2016/> Call for Papers PAM seeks to bring together both the network research and operations communities to consider network measurement and analysis techniques, particularly those in the earlier stages of research. PAM has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement at Layer-3. However, over the last years PAM broadened its scope to encompass measurements of networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components; at the MAC/network/transport layers; as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurement technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. Although PAM traditionally attracts work that is at an early stage, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's ambit. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: Tools and infrastructure: Passive and active measurement tools: techniques, design and experience Management and operation of measurement infrastructures Management and visualization of measurement data Measurements across the stack: Application-layer, e.g., social networks, crowdsourcing or gaming End user performance and quality of experience Protocol behavior: e.g., DNS, DHCP, or routing protocols Wireless and mobility Correlation of measurements across multiple layers, protocols or networks Security and privacy Troubleshooting and anomaly detection Data centers, cloud services, SDNs and NFV Content distribution Characterization & modeling Studies of network usage, or end-host behavior Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability Techniques for measurements and measurement-based inference of macroscopic Internet structure, dynamics, and evolution Important Dates Paper Registration: October 9, 2015, 20:00 BST Paper Submission: October 16, 2015, 20:00 BST Notification: December 18, 2015 Organizing Committee General Chair: Xenofontas Dimitropoulos (University of Crete, Greece) Program Chair: Thomas Karagiannis (Microsoft Research, UK) Publicity Chair: Antonis Papadogiannakis (FORTH-ICS, Greece) Submission Guidelines We are soliciting papers submitted in the Springer LNCS format that do not exceed 12 pages.

November nach interessanten Beiträgen aus der Fahrzeugkommunikation. Ich würde mich sehr über zahlreiche Beteiligung freuen! Untenstehend habe ich unseren Call for Papers angefügt. Beste Grüße aus Paderborn, Christoph Sommer ** Manuscript submission deadline: 15 November 2015 ** Elsevier Computer Communications Special Issue Call for Papers Multi-radio, Multi-technology, Multi-system Vehicular Communications Scope ----- Vehicular networks have rapidly evolved from their roots as an application of mobile ad hoc networks to today's fusion of interdisciplinary research on computer communications. Inspired by governments' visions of vastly improved road traffic safety and transport efficiency and hailed as industry's enabler of a plethora of value-added services for passengers and drivers, stakeholders are pushing the rulemaking for an adoption of vehicular communication technologies in newly sold cars, in turn inspiring bold research ventures. Despite the plethora of efforts devoted to this research field, the peculiarities of vehicular environments call into question the capabilities of existing solutions and standard specifications to meet the increasingly strict scalability, reliability, and quality of experience demands of such visions. Indeed, the expected tsunami of data to be exchanged, both to support cooperative/autonomous driving applications and to satisfy the growing data appetite of users on wheels, will burden the network. In such a context, the widespread availability of multiple radio technologies and multiple radio channels per technology, along with complete communication systems is envisioned to merge with sophisticated physical layer and medium access control approaches, and emerging cognitive radio and software-defined radio techniques, thus opening the door to new exciting research opportunities in multi-radio, multi-technology, multi-system vehicular communications. The goal of this special issue is to gather high-quality and unpublished papers contributing to the evolution of vehicular networking and, in particular, focusing on the aforementioned developments. The contributions to this special issue may present novel ideas, methodologies, algorithms, architectures, models, experiments. High-quality review and survey papers are also welcomed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multi-radio and multi-channel communications - Multi-technology (PAN, WLAN, long range) communications - Multi-system (short range radio, cellular, backbone) communications - Physical layer, medium access, and congestion control design from radio to visible light and beyond - Vehicle-to-X (roadside, pedestrian, grid, in-vehicle) data dissemination, system integration, services, and applications - IEEE 802.11p DSRC/WAVE, ETSI ITS-G5, ARIB standardization - Cellular technologies for vehicular communications and/or vehicle-to-X (LTE-Advanced, LTE-Direct) - New challenges in security & privacy - Simulation tools and methodologies, analytical models, experimental evaluation and field operational tests - Applications of multi-radio, multi-technology, or multi-system vehicular communications Paper Submission ---------------- Please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom for preparation guidelines and visit http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom to submit your manuscript.

World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it is from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems blurs. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new field, where networking and physical realms meet. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference offers an interdisciplinary venue to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in system design and implementation that pertain to the Internet of Things. Many sub-systems need to come together to address the needs of current and future applications. These subsystems extend from cloud back-ends to cyber-physical front ends. Reliability, security, robustness, correctness, and timeliness considerations in new medical, social, environmental, energy, and automation applications must be supported by advances in cloud resource management, network protocols, and smart embedded devices. This conference invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on Internet of Things topics that include, but are not restricted to the following: * Applications and drivers for the Internet of Things * Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms * Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications * Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness considerations in IoT systems * IoT-motivated cyber-physical, Industrial Internet, and/or embedded system challenges * Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues * Sensing, control, and actuation in IoT architectures * Novel protocols and network abstractions * Data streaming architectures * Analytic foundations and theory of the Internet of Things * Privacy challenges * Industrial deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned * Evaluation and testbeds [Submission Instructions] Original work must be submitted that is not published or under submission elsewhere. Manuscripts may not exceed twelve (12) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11” pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, references, and appendices. [Review Process] All original submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Gesendet: 24. September 2015 11:02:53 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI of Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing on Pervasive Social Computing CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Pervasive and Mobile Computing Special Issue on Pervasive Social Computing http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-pa… Submission Deadline: 30 November 2015 Pervasive Social Computing represents a new paradigm resulting from the convergence of Pervasive Mobile Computing with Social Networking; it aims to take advantage of human social relationships to enable the attainment of users' tasks in different domains. On the one hand, the impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel patterns of users interactions through social networks, also depending on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least, pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks. The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze, study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary approaches, that exploit models of the users personal and social behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications.

Its ability to address complex, large-scale problems with robust, adaptable, and efficient solutions results from many years of selection, genetic drift and mutations. Thus, it is not surprising that inventors and researchers often look to natural systems for inspiration and methods for solving problems in human-created artificial environments. This has resulted in the development of evolutionary algorithms including genetic algorithms and swarm algorithms, and of classifier and pattern-detection algorithms, such as neural networks, for solving hard computational problems. A natural evolutionary driver is to survive long enough to create a next-generation of descendants and ensure their survival. One factor in survival is an organism's ability to defend against attackers, both predators and parasites, and against rapid changes in environmental conditions. Analogously, networks and communications systems use cyber security to defend their assets against cyber criminals, hostile organizations, hackers, activists, and sudden changes in the network environment (e.g., DDoS attacks). Many of the defense methods used by natural organisms may be mapped to cyber space to implement effective cyber security. Some examples include immune systems, invader detection, friend vs. foe, camouflage, mimicry, evasion, etc. Many cyber security technologies and systems in common use today have their roots in bio-inspired methods, including anti-virus, intrusion detection, threat behavior analysis, attribution, honeypots, counterattack, and the like. As the threats evolve to evade current cyber security technologies, similarly the bio-inspired security and defense technologies evolve to counter the threat. The goal of this feature topic is twofold: (1) to survey the current academic and industry research in bio-inspired cyber security for communications and networking, so that the ComSoc community can understand the current evolutionary state of cyber threats, defenses, and intelligence, and can plan for future transitions of the research into practical implementations; and (2) to survey current academic and industry system projects, prototypes, and deployed products and services (including threat intelligence services) that implement the next generation of bio-inspired methods. Please note that we recognize that in some cases, details may be limited or obscured for security reasons. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: • Bio-inspired anomaly & intrusion detection • Adaptation algorithms for cyber security & networking • Biometrics related to cyber security & networking • Bio-inspired security and networking algorithms & technologies • Biomimetics related to cyber security & networking • Bio-inspired cyber threat intelligence methods and systems • Moving-target techniques • Network Artificial Immune Systems • Adaptive and Evolvable Systems • Neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and genetic algorithms for cyber security & networking • Prediction techniques for cyber security & networking • Information hiding solutions (steganography, watermarking) and detection for network traffic • Cooperative defense systems • Bio-inspired algorithms for dependable networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline. Submit articles to the "June 2016 / Bio-inspired cyber security for communication and networking" category.

Workshop on New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things (MadCom) Intl. Workshop on Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet (NextMote) www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 ============================================================== MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things ============================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/MadCom2016 For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + magnetic induction communication + infrared communication + laser communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + acoustic communication + applications for novel wireless communication methods + new platforms + theoretical models + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies ============================================================== NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ============================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/NextMote2016 The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: firstly so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and secondly smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". What will they be, and how to design them? The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions ============================================================== The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications. Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue - Mobile Traffic Analytics

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue - Mobile Traffic Analytics Datum: Sat, 19 Sep 2015 01:21:07 +0200 Von: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> Antwort an: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** One month to the manuscript submission deadline *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/ Special Issue on Mobile Traffic Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Scope Mobile traffic analytics enable the study of the movement and service consumption of mobile subscribers at large scales. The rise of mobile traffic analytics is fostered by an unprecedented availability of data, collected by mobile operators through probes deployed at the access and core networks, or gathered by dedicated research initiatives via monitoring apps running on users’ smartphones. Both approaches can harvest information about large populations, from hundreds to millions individuals, over long time periods, from weeks to years. The richness of mobile traffic datasets is paramount to research in a wide range of disciplines, including, e.g., sociology, transportations, statistical physics, epidemiology, and – of course – networking. However, several technical challenges need to be tackled to release the full potential of such data sources, including the assessment of statistical robustness of inferred knowledge, the overcoming of scalability issues, and the consideration for data access limitations imposed by privacy regulations that tend to reduce data usability. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather contributions presenting state-of-the-art research dealing with all facets of mobile traffic analytics. We expect submissions to present quantitative evaluations carried out on substantial real-world datasets of mobile traffic. Here, we intend the term "traffic" in its wider acceptation. We thus invite works on data collected via, e.g., Call Detail Records (CDR), access (RNC) and core (MSC, GGSN/PGW) network probes, or smartphone monitoring apps; data can be limited to mobility patterns, it can concern traditional user-to-user mobile services (i.e., calling and texting), it can focus on the mobile data traffic demand (at any granularity, from throughput volumes to the precise services and protocols employed), or it can contain any combination of such information types. We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary research works at the interface between networking and disciplines such as those mentioned above. Special attention will be deserved to findings and results that have practical applications in terms of technological innovation, sustainable development, data and network management, and mobile services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Original (open) mobile traffic datasets - Preparation and management of mobile traffic datasets - Generative models for synthetic mobile traffic datasets - Algorithms, structures, and (visual) tools for mobile traffic analysis - Privacy and security issues in mobile traffic analysis, and countermeasures - Inference of social features and mobility patterns from mobile traffic - Profiling of mobile device and mobile users from mobile traffic - Characterization of the mobile subscriber demand from mobile traffic - Comparison of mobile traffic features across cities, regions, and countries - Mobile traffic analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems - Mobile traffic analytics for cognitive and anticipatory networking - Mobile access and core network enhancements from mobile traffic analysis - Mobile traffic analytics for device-to-device and opportunistic communication - Mobile service marketing strategies from mobile traffic analysis + Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: October 16, 2015 First notification: January 22, 2016 Submission of revised paper: March 11, 2016 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2016 + Guest Editors Marco Fiore, CNR – IEIIT (marco.fiore(a)ieiit.cnr.it) M. Zubair Shafiq, University of Iowa (zubair-shafiq(a)uiowa.edu) Zbigniew Smoreda, Orange Labs – SENSe (zbigniew.smoreda(a)orange.com) Razvan Stanica, INSA Lyon / Inria (razvan.stanica(a)insa-lyon.fr) Roberto Trasarti, CNR – ISTI (roberto.trasarti(a)isti.cnr.it) + Instructions for submission The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.
