-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE ICC 2016 - 1st Workshop on Resiliency in Public Safety Communication Systems (RPSCS) Datum: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:59:36 -0500 Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *1st Workshop on Resiliency in Public Safety Communication Systems (RPSCS), in Conjunction with IEEE ICC 2016* *Scope*: Many of today’s critical networked infrastructures, such as transportation and power systems, rely heavily on communication technologies and systems. The resiliency of such communication systems in face of natural disasters, malicious attacks, or even day-to-day wear and tear has become of great importance to maintain the continuous operation of such critical systems. Resilience can have many definitions that range from the ability of a communication system to operate under harsh environments or to withstand malicious attacks, all the way to its adaptability to failures or other unexpected events. In particular, resilience of public safety communication networks during emergencies can become a matter of life or death, since first responders and public safety personnel rely heavily on wired and wireless communication capabilities to execute their search and rescue operations. At the same time, critical infrastructure networks and other civil protection network deployments need to be highly robust, and function effectively in the presence of dynamically varying external and internal conditions. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to resilient and robust communication networks, as well as their applications in public safety and critical infrastructure systems. *Area/Topics of interest*: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: · New definitions of resiliency as it applies to wired and wireless communication systems. · Public safety communication (PSC) systems relying on 4G LTE and 5G wireless technologies. · Public safety spectrum sharing, future spectrum requirements for PSC networks. · Resiliency studies for PSC networks and infrastructure against natural disasters, and terrorist/cyber-attacks. · Use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for enhancing PSC and communication resiliency. · Resilient cyber-physical systems and smart cities. · Synergies between resilient control systems and resilient communication networks. · Advanced technologies such as device-to-device, multi-hop, and relay-based communications for enhanced PSC. · Propagation channel measurements and modeling for PSC. · Interworking and interoperability between public safety networks and commercial networks. · Game-theoretic techniques, resource allocation, and power control for resilient and public safety communications. · Software defined radio (SDR) testbeds and experimentation on resilient systems. · Software-defined management and control mechanisms for improving PSC communication resilience. · The role of cyber-physical systems in resiliency. · Resilient rapidly deployable communication networks. *Workshop Co-Chairs*: Walid Saad (Virginia Tech, USA) Ismail Guvenc (Florida International University, USA) Tinku Rasheed (Orion Innovations, Greece) *Important Dates:* - Paper submission deadline: December 4, 2015 - Acceptance notification: February 21, 2016 - Camera-ready papers: March 13, 2016 *Additional Information*: https://sites.google.com/site/rpscs2016 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Currently, mainstream IoT directions are drifting towards application specific solutions and the development of proprietary versions of IoT. Under the premise of ubiquitous Internet access and IPv6 connectivity, many IoT variants have evolved without considering interoperability across the spectrum of existing and operable infrastructures, nor the impact on underlying networking infrastructures and ensuing performance. We invite original work that aims at a convergent view of IoT, one that specifically adopts heterogeneous architectures, and inherently builds upon interoperability with existing connected infrastructures. This encompasses work on resource identification, calibration, profiling, and utilization in a dynamic IoT framework. We invite original contributions that address crowd-based IoT infrastructures, encompassing incentive schemes, and collaboration and cooperation schemes, to ensure maximal utility of ubiquitously accessible smart resources. We strongly encourage results from industry and academia, and solicit research that facilitates functional scalability for a truly survivable version of IoT. We advocate for empowering IoT architectures that adopt rapid resource management in a quad-fold approach: 1) inter-networking between heterogeneous components over dynamic access schemes (ZigBee, ANT+, BLE, WiFi, etc), 2) Rapid resource discovery, identification, profiling and promotion in real-time, 3) Establishing formal descriptors for IoT services to enable rapid matching with heterogeneous IoT resources, regardless of underlying proprietary infrastructures, and 4) Developing elastic pricing models to solicit crowd-contribution and offset IoT deployment costs, by leveraging resource facilitation. Areas/Topics of interest: Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Data and organization Interoperability challenges for IoT systems - Quality of Information pruning for crowd-solicited data in heterogeneous IoT - Resource identification, discovery, and profiling in heterogeneous IoT - Beyond IPv6 Connectivity for on-demand IoT - IoT Interoperability issues across access schemes - Infrastructure-less IoT survivability - IoT infrastructures for Data management and Analytics - Resource sharing and actuation conflicts resolution - Crowd-solicited IoT proliferation - IoT systems collaboration and cooperation mechanisms - Innovative IoT incentive schemes - Convergent paradigms in the Internet of Things - Non-proprietary standardization frameworks for a heterogeneous IoT - Convergent services on malleable IoT infrastructures (i.e. based on Information/data planes) - IoT service orchestration and scheduling - Industrial Internet – Value creation and challenges - Legal and governance frameworks for IoT regulation Workshop Co-Chairs: Maurizio Dècina – Politecnico di Milano, Italy Sharief Oteafy – Queen’s University, Canada Mervat Abu-Elkheir – Mansoura University, Egypt Important Dates Paper Submission December 4th, 2015 Acceptance Notification February 21st, 2015 Camera-ready March 13th, 2015 Submissions We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published or currently under review. Authors can submit a full paper (up to 6 pages) that describes complete works in a self-contained manner with the intent to give an oral presentation. For style and submission guidelines, kindly refer to the author instructions available on the IEEE ICC 2016 website: http://icc2016.ieee-icc.org/call-for-submissions Sincerely, Sharief Oteafy --- Sharief Oteafy, PhD Adjunct Assistant Professor School of Computing Queen’s University http://cs.queensu.ca/~oteafy/ Tel: (613) 533-6000 x 75029 Fax: (613) 533-6513 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE PERCOM 2016 Workshop on Security Privacy and Trust in the IoT (SPT-IoT) Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:01:44 +0000 Von: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 1st IEEE PERCOM WORKSHOP ON SECURITY PRIVACY AND TRUST IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (SPT-IOT) 2016 In conjunction with IEEE PERCOM 2016 March 14-18, 2016 Sydney, Australia EDAS link: http://edas.info/N21137 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government. Pervasive computing is at the heart of IoT and forms a fundamental building block necessary to realize the IoT. Equipped with pervasive technologies such as RFID and smart dust in addition to sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to global challenges faced by ageing populations, climate change, growing cost of healthcare as well as how we manage our environment and natural resources.. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT as well as the computational constraints of many of the building blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust a challenging problem to solve on the one hand, while security, privacy and trust play a critical role for most if not all applications of IoT in doma ins such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without effective solutions for security, privacy and trust reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved. The proposed IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC), the challenges to security, privacy and trust presented and novel approaches to solving these challenges. The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks; - secure channel and traffic models; - secure spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications; - security of RFID, sensors, actuator technologies; - IoT secure network infrastructure; - IoT security protocols; - privacy in applications of the IoT; - IoT networking and communication security; - circuit and system design for secure smart objects in the IoT; - security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services; - naming, address management and end-to-end addressability; - methods for secure by design IoT; - methods for IoT security analysis and audit; - privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT; - secure cloud of things; - trust management architectures; - lightweight security solutions; - authentication and access control in IoT; - identification and biometrics in IoT; - liability and policy enforcement in IoT; - security of Big data in IoT; - cyber physical systems security; - cyber attacks detection and prevention; - embedded platforms for cryptography (implementations for performance-optimized, resource constrained, energy-efficient platforms); - hardware security primitives; - secure pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Software and Systems; - new Privacy and Security Techniques for Embedded Software and Systems; and - ethics and legal considerations in IoT.

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.

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.

Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS RAMCOM 2016 The Second International Workshop on Recent Advances on Machine-to-Machine Communication http://hanalab.org/RAMCOM-16/ in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2016) May 23-26, 2016, Madrid, Spain Call for Papers ============== Machine-to-machine communication is considered as the next technology revolution. It involves a huge number of autonomous smart machines, sharing information and collaborating together. M2M technology encompasses a large spectrum of applications ranging from e-health and biomedical sensor networks, to vehicular technology, smart grid and advanced metering infrastructures. As the voice revenue is in constant decrease, Telecom operators are energetically supporting this new technology as it is one of the most promising revenue-generating services. >From a standardization point of view, the M2M paradigm is still in its infancy. Both ETSI and 3GPP standards do not provide a seamless and unified M2M architecture, which is a sine qua none condition to the healthy and sustained development of the M2M market. Furthermore, the spreading of M2M technologies still hinge on fully providing a secure and fault-tolerance to M2M communications. Finally, in a single M2M network might coexist several radio technologies (Zigebee, bluetooth, UWB, WiFi and Femtocell...), which could dramatically impact M2M channels with fluctuation and noise. This workshop aims to gather researchers, engineers and practitioners both from academia and industry as well as end users who aim to present recent advances on Machine-to-Machine communications. Topics of Interest ================ The workshop proposes to address, but is not limited to, the following topics related to M2M communications, paradigms, frameworks and innovative applications: - M2M Standardization progress - Spectrum management for M2M - Green M2M communication - M2M system architecture and components - Security, trust and privacy of M2M devices and services - Mobility management for M2M - M2M and information centric networking - Reliability management for M2M - Medium access technologies and protocols for M2M communication - M2M traffic models - M2M and Smart Grid - M2M and vehicular technology - M2M and smart homes - Cloud support for M2M applications - New M2M applications, services, and business models - M2M testbeds and field trials - Mobile and distributed sensing - Decentralized algorithms for M2M control and communication Important Dates ================= Abstract deadline: January 16th, 2016 Full papers due: January 23 rd, 2016 Author notification: February 21 st, 2016 Camera ready due: March 21st , 2016 Papers Submissions Guidelines Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in length including all figures, tables and references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2016 - CFP Datum: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 13:18:59 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <alessio.vecchio(a)unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2016) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 14-18 2016, Sydney, Australia (the final date will be announced later) in conjunction with PerCom 2016 (http://www.percom.org) March 14-18 2016, Sydney, Australia ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined workshop proceedings are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 27 and 36. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).

We apologise in case you received multiple copies. The workshop website is: http://www.swfan.org <http://www.swfan.org/> Best Regards, Lefteris Mamatas 1st International Workshop on Software-Driven Flexible and Agile Networking (SWFAN 2016), 10-15 April, San Francisco, CA, USA (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2016) Scope and Topics of Interest The NFV/SDN paradigms promote the deployment of Network Functions (NF) as software components into cloud infrastructures, and the identification of relevant abstractions for their configuration, control and management. Such NFs can comprise processing elements in the data plane (e.g., packet inspection, filtering, flow-level monitoring, or access control) as well as control-plane components (e.g., signaling, routing, dynamic load balancing). This paradigm shift essentially enables new cloud service models, i.e., NF-as-a-service (NFaaS), which can lead to significant operational and technology investment cost savings for service providers. Beyond that, telecom operators can greatly benefit from NFV/SDN, considering the increasing trend to implement mobile communication network functions in software. NFV/SDN orchestration can satisfy the evolving requirements of service and infrastructure providers with respect to the resource constraints, dynamic network conditions and service environments. Virtualized NFs should be deployed, located, scaled, and orchestrated in a holistic manner to realize novel services, through exposing their configurations using standardized interfaces, whereas SDN can provide a flexible network plane along these lines. Furthermore, the integration of protocol and application/service processing creates opportunities for enhancing the performance of cloud applications and services when accessed by mobile users. In this respect, SWFAN aims at bringing together researchers, engineers, and practitioners to discuss challenging aspects of NFV/SDN orchestration, such as the elastic provisioning of computing, storage, and network resources for NF deployment and scaling in the cloud, the development of new models, protocols, algorithms, and abstractions for more flexible and agile network control, management and operation, as well as NFaaS negotiation, contracting, billing, and SLA management. We solicit submissions of previously unpublished work on the following topics of interest (but not limited to): - Resource allocation for NF consolidation in clouds - Algorithms and methods for network service embedding - Interoperability among cloud providers for network service embedding - Abstractions and techniques for network service reconfiguration and scaling - Service chaining for policy enforcement - Architectures and interfaces for NF configuration and control - NF verification, systematic testing, fault management, protection - NF migration and state management - SDN for network service deployment - New models, protocols, and abstractions for flexible and agile network operations - Design and implementation of NF stores - NFaaS negotiation and contracting - Resource pricing and billing for NFaaS - SLAs for NFaaS - Mobile Edge Computing - Applications of NFV in cellular and mobile networks - Experiences from NFV/SDN deployments in production networks Submission Instructions Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE format (double-column, 10pt font). Papers should be submitted via EDAS. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and on IEEE Xplore. Important Dates Submission deadline: December 6, 2015 Acceptance notification: January 18, 2016 Camera ready paper submission: February 2, 2016 Workshop Organizing Team Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy Nicola Blefari Melazzi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland Lefteris Mamatas, University of Macedonia, Greece Panagiotis Papadimitriou, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany Danny Raz, Technion / Bell Labs, Israel TPC Co-Chairs Erez Biton, Alcatel Lucent, Israel Panagiotis Papadimitriou, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany Publicity Chair Lefteris Mamatas, University of Macedonia, Greece ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE PERCOM 2016 Workshop on Security Privacy and Trust in the IoT (SPT-IoT) Datum: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 12:17:09 +0000 Von: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 1st IEEE PERCOM WORKSHOP ON SECURITY PRIVACY AND TRUST IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (SPT-IOT) 2016 In conjunction with IEEE PERCOM 2016 March 14-18, 2016 Sydney, Australia EDAS link: http://edas.info/N21137 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government. Pervasive computing is at the heart of IoT and forms a fundamental building block necessary to realize the IoT. Equipped with pervasive technologies such as RFID and smart dust in addition to sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to global challenges faced by ageing populations, climate change, growing cost of healthcare as well as how we manage our environment and natural resources.. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT as well as the computational constraints of many of the building blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust a challenging problem to solve on the one hand, while security, privacy and trust play a critical role for most if not all applications of IoT in doma ins such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without effective solutions for security, privacy and trust reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved. The proposed IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC), the challenges to security, privacy and trust presented and novel approaches to solving these challenges. The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks; - secure channel and traffic models; - secure spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications; - security of RFID, sensors, actuator technologies; - IoT secure network infrastructure; - IoT security protocols; - privacy in applications of the IoT; - IoT networking and communication security; - circuit and system design for secure smart objects in the IoT; - security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services; - naming, address management and end-to-end addressability; - methods for secure by design IoT; - methods for IoT security analysis and audit; - privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT; - secure cloud of things; - trust management architectures; - lightweight security solutions; - authentication and access control in IoT; - identification and biometrics in IoT; - liability and policy enforcement in IoT; - security of Big data in IoT; - cyber physical systems security; - cyber attacks detection and prevention; - embedded platforms for cryptography (implementations for performance-optimized, resource constrained, energy-efficient platforms); - hardware security primitives; - secure pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Software and Systems; - new Privacy and Security Techniques for Embedded Software and Systems; and - ethics and legal considerations in IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Access Journal -- Special Section on "Body Area Networks for Interdisciplinary Research" Datum: Sun, 1 Nov 2015 01:57:53 -0400 Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Access. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Body Area Networks for Interdisciplinary Research Submission Deadline: January 30, 2016 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of "Body Area Networks for Interdisciplinary Research" Recent advancements in integrated circuits, wireless communication, and MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology has enabled low power, nano-technology sensor nodes strategically deployed on the human body to be used by different applications, such as health monitoring. This new area of research is known as Body Area Networks (BAN). BAN applications cover a wide area such as sports, entertainment, military, ubiquitous health care, and many other areas. BAN has multiple opportunities of interdisciplinary research where researchers from different areas of science and technology jointly put their efforts to improve the human body monitoring and performance. Due to these joint efforts, BAN is now evolving into Body Area Nano Networks (BANNs). The BANNs are further extended with Internet of Nano Things and Internet of Bio-Nano Things technologies. The objective of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to showcase the most recent advances in interdisciplinary research areas encompassing BAN.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016 (with INFOCOM 2016): Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 30 Oct '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE MiSeNet 2016 (with INFOCOM 2016): Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 14:44:04 -0400 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 *** 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 General Chair * Zygmunt J.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline Approaching: EWSN 2016 Workshops on Next Generation Communication Paradigms and Computing Platforms Datum: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:34:11 +0100 Von: Kay Römer <romer.kay(a)googlemail.com> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Second Call for EWSN 2016 Workshop Contributions Intl. 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 <http://www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016> ** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 9, 2015 ==================================================================== 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. The papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format). 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. Authors may use the LaTeX templates provided here: http://bit.ly/ewsn-template2016 Key Dates ==================================================================== Paper submission deadline: November 9, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC Paper notification: December 7, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC
