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

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

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

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016 (with Infocom 2016): New paper submission deadline Datum: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 18:08:18 -0500 Von: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> Antwort an: Stefano Basagni <basagni(a)ECE.NEU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies for multiple reception if this CfP.) *** ----------------------------------------------------------*** The Fifth IEEE Annual International Workshop on Mission- Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking *** IEEE MiSeNet 2016 *** http://people.ece.cornell.edu/haas/wnl/IEEEMiSeNet_Workshop2016.htm Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2016 San Francisco, CA, April 10-15, 2016 *** ----------------------------------------------------------*** *** -------------------- Call for Papers ---------------------*** * Scope and Topics Over the last two decades, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance. Wireless sensor networking has attracted the attention of practitioners and researchers from both industry and academia. This type of networks consists of a collection of tiny, resource-limited, low-reliable sensing devices that are randomly or deterministically deployed in a field of interest to monitor a physical phenomenon and report their results to a central gathering point, known as a sink. These sensing devices suffer from their scarce capabilities, such as bandwidth, storage, CPU, battery power (or energy), sensing, and communication. In particular, mission-oriented WSNs are viewed as time-varying systems composed of autonomous mobile sensing devices (e.g., using mobile robots) that collaborate and coordinate distributedly to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. The major challenge in the design of mission-oriented WSNs is due to their dynamic topology and architecture, which is caused mainly by sensing devices mobility. The latter may have significant impact on the performance of mission-oriented WSNs in terms of their sensing coverage and network connectivity. In such continuously dynamic environments, sensing devices should self-organize and move purposefully to accomplish any mission in their deployment field while extending the operational network lifetime. In particular, the design of mission-oriented WSNs should account for trade-offs between several attributes, such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, and delay. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs research and practice. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of mission-oriented WSNs. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications. The topics of interest to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented WSNs * Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs * System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs * Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs * Cross-layer design for mission-oriented WSNs * Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs * Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs * Coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs * Deployment and localization in mission-oriented WSNs * Uncertainty and opportunistic communications in mission-oriented WSNs * Topology control and fault-tolerance in mission-oriented WSNs * Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs * In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs * Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs * Purposeful mobility in mission-oriented WSNs * Target detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs * Privacy and security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs * Cloud computing and its applications to mission-oriented WSNs * Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs * Submission IEEE MiSeNet 2016 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability (i.e., within the workshop scope), novelty, and merit. Submitted papers are limited to 9 pages. All submissions should be formatted in standard IEEE conference style for publication in the conference Proceedings.

Automobile manufacturers and OEMs have collaborated to reserve a dedicated, harmonized radio spectrum in Europe; several large-scale projects have developed software and hardware solutions for vehicular communication; and ETSI, as well as the IEEE, have standardized protocols covering many communication aspects. Yet, IVC as a research field continues to evolve, and new research questions arise. What is the role of IVC as supporting technology for autonomous vehicles? Will reliability and latency requirements be met with current standards? Should IVC support large-scale information dissemination, which requires more advanced algorithms than those currently standardized? What are the benefits and drawbacks of cellular communication compared to IEEE 802.11p-based networks? Should IVC be open to other road users, such as pedestrians and bicycles, which would require interaction with mobile phones using suitable protocols? The 4th Fachgespräch on IVC aims to provide an open forum to discuss such on-going and emerging questions, as well as to provide an overview of the research field to scientists that just joined the IVC community. GOALS The GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication is a highly engaging, interactive meeting where young researchers and experienced colleagues share and discuss new research directions and early results in the areas of inter-vehicle communication and automated vehicles. Participants can expect an open and welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on discussions and networking opportunities, as well as presentations of novel and on-going work.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers - Abstract deadline on Wednesday Dec 2nd. Datum: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 05:23:52 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************* Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ************************** *** Abstract Submission deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) *** ** Full Paper Submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) ** [header] Call for Papers (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/) ACM MobiSys 2016 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience with mobile apps, networks and systems * Innovative wearable, mobile, sensing, and crowdsourcing apps * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems * Innovative wearable or mobile devices * Novel software architectures for mobile devices * Data management for mobile applications * Infrastructure support for node mobility * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Operating systems for mobile devices * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web * Security and privacy in mobile systems * Systems for location and context sensing and awareness * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * Vehicular wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Personal-area networks and systems * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review elsewhere, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged only if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Furthermore, extended versions of papers submitted to ACM HotMobile 2016 should not be submitted to ACM MobiSys 2016, as it is extremely unlikely that they would meet this standard of significant new contributions. Submissions will be single blind, i.e., reviewers will be anonymous and submissions should include authors' names and institutions. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on TPC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a small number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. ACM has been making an effort to support more open access to the proceedings of its sponsored conferences. As a result, the ACM MobiSys 2016 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. Proceedings may be made available in other formats in addition to PDF, such as ePub. A brief public review that summarizes the PC’s opinion of each published paper may also be made available. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze non-public data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval) or certify that such a review is not needed in their country or organization. We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. The submission process will include a free-form paragraph of text that authors can optionally fill out. This is information that the PC chairs may or may not consider during the paper selection process. If the paper is a resubmission of a previous MobiSys rejection, then authors may consider summarizing major improvements made to the paper. Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked to a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will submit a short 1-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public.
