-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition Datum: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:20:49 -0400 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 ***** Call For Contesters ======================================================================= 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition April 10-11, 2016 Vienna, Austria Co-located with IPSN 2016 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/msindoorloccompetition2016/defau… ======================================================================= ELIGIBILITY Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All location techniques, such as ranging, fingerprinting, infrastructure, or device free, are welcome, except those that require end users’ manual measurements. Contesters can deploy their own infrastructure of *up to 5 devices*. Normal RF interference is expected, but no jammers from other deployments are allowed. The results must be shown on a portable device, such as a phone or a tablet/laptop that a person can easily carry around. Demo submissions that do not meet one or more of the guidelines above will be included in the poster session and will be evaluated as a regular submission, but they will not be considered for prizes. The competition will take place if *at least 5 teams* respond to this preliminary call for competition. CATEGORIES Depending on the nature and number of submissions multiple categories might be defined based on the accuracy (i.e., point-based vs. area based), the size, the cost, or the type (i.e., software vs. hardware) of the proposed solution. Given our past experience, this year we expect to have the following categories (note that these categories have not been finalized. The final categories will be announced shortly after the registration deadline and they will depend on the number and type of submissions received): Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category should be able to work with unmodified commercial off-the-shelf devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets. In this category, the unmodified COTS device is localized. Teams in this category will not be allowed to interface any custom hardware to the COTS devices (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Only changes to the software of the devices will be allowed. Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies with Initialization: Submissions in this category should meet all the criteria of the COTS Technologies category, with the additional requirement to initialize the location of the COTS device being localized to a ground truth location before the evaluation. Modified Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Technologies: Submissions in this category could interface custom hardware to the COTS devices to be localized (i.e., UWB or ultrasound hardware). Submissions in this category could be further classified to infrastructure-based and infrastructure-free depending on their requirement to deploy custom hardware (i.e., BLE beacons) in the evaluation area. Most, if not all, submissions in this category are expected to be infrastructure-based. For instance: WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also leverage inertial sensors will be classified as infrastructure-free COTS Technologies as they do not require to interface any custom hardware to the COTS device being localized. WiFi fingerprinting approaches that also deploy custom BLE beacons in the evaluation area will be classified as infrastructure-based COTS Technologies as they don't modify the COTS device being localized, but they require the deployment of custom hardware. Approaches based on inertial sensing that require to be initialized to a ground truth location before being evaluated will be classified as COTS Technologies with Initialization. UWB approaches will be classified as infrastructure-based modified COTS Technologies as they require modifications to the COTS device being localized, and they need to deploy custom hardware in the evaluation area. In the past, teams were asked to report 2D locations (X,Y). In this year's competition, teams will be required to report 3D locations (X,Y,Z). The evaluation area we have reserved, even though it does not contain multiple floors, it includes locations with different elevation characteristics. On top of that, we plan to place the devices to be localized at different heights during the competition to evaluate the 3D localization accuracy of each team. *Not all teams will have to report 3D locations*. We understand that some technologies are not suited for 3D localization (i.e., WiFi/geo-magnetic fingerprinting, dead reckoning, BLE-based etc.), but they are still excellent candidates for commercial indoor location systems. With this in mind, the organizers will determine shortly after the registration deadline which teams will be classified as 3D localization teams. It is not up to the individual teams to decide if they will report 2D or 3D locations. The organizers will ensure that all the teams in a given category will either report 2D or 3D locations. There will be no categories containing both 2D and 3D localization teams. EVALUATION AND PRIZE Results are judged based on accuracy, and an award will be given to the top 3 teams in each category. When accuracy ties, infrastructure requirements will be used for tie breaking. The winning teams in each category will be invited to present their approach at the conference, and receive a cash award. The exact accuracy metrics that will be used during evaluation will be announced shortly before the competition takes place. POSTER SESSION A poster session dedicated to all competition participants will be organized during the conference. Participants will have the opportunity to explain their system to conference attendees. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Contesters must submit an abstract describing their approach and deployment requirements by the contest registration deadline. Submissions are treated as confidential until the competition. Submissions must be at most two (2) single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references. Submission should follow the exact same format as regular, full IPSN 2016 papers. *Abstracts should include the names and affiliations of all authors*. Templates can be found here: http://ipsn.acm.org/2016/submission.html?v=1 REGISTRATION DEADLINE January 20th, 2016, 11:59 pm EST To register for the competition, please email your abstract to dlymper(a)microsoft.com with the following subject line: 2016 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition Submission. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue: Multi-X Vehicular Comm's Datum: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 19:13:17 +0100 Von: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> Antwort an: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ** 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 03:49:31 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************** Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ******************** *** 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. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. A selected set may be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. Submission Guidelines Detailed formatting guidelines and access to the submission server will be made available closer to the submission deadline and will be provided here. <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/submission.php> Important Dates * Abstract registration deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth * Paper submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) * Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2016 * Camera-ready due: May 9, 2016 * Video submission due: June 1, 2016, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) Contact If you have any questions, please contact MobiSys2016-TPCChair(a)acm.org <mailto:MobiSys2016-TPCChair@acm.org> Footer ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

We would appreciate if you could circulate this email to colleagues and relevant mailing lists. Call for Papers With smartphones in their pockets, more than 1 billion people now have immediate access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, and this makes it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, expanding the scope of research endeavours and allowing civic issues to be addressed, without the need to purchase specialized sensors or install and maintain network infrastructure. 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE PERCOM 2016 Workshop on Security Privacy and Trust in the IoT (SPT-IoT) Datum: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:14:20 +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. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages in length) electronically through the EDAS system using the standard IEEE template for conference papers. Papers must be original material not currently under review by another conference or journal. All submitted papers will be subjected to multiple independent peer reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for the IEEE PERCOM 2016 conference and present the paper. During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the author list and the paper title of the submitted .pdf file is an exact match to the author list and paper title on the EDAS registration page.

Further details can be found by visiting the website: http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/lehrstuehle/oc/Veranstaltungen/oc-ws-… Best regards, Sven Tomforde ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS The Fourth International Workshop on "Self-optimisation in Organic and Autonomic Computing Systems" SAOS 2016 to be held at ARCS 2016 - Architecture of Computing Systems April 4th - 7th 2016 Porto, Portugal http://www.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/lehrstuehle/oc/Veranstaltungen/oc-ws-… ================================================================================== *** Important dates *** ======================= Submission deadline: December 23rd, 2015 Notification of acceptance: January 18th, 2016 Camera-ready: January 28th, 2016 *** Workshop theme *** ====================== Initiatives such as Autonomic Computing (AC) and Organic Computing (OC) are based on the insight that we are increasingly surrounded by large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organising themselves in order to perform the required actions and services. The presence of networks of intelligent systems in our environment opens fascinating application areas but, at the same time, bears the problem of their controllability. Hence, different design concepts (such as the MAPE cycle and the Observer/Controller framework) have been developed to allow for a self-organised control process at runtime that relieves the designer from specifying all possibly occurring situations and configurations within the design process. Instead, the system itself takes over responsibility to find proper reactions on perceived changes in the environmental conditions. As designers are not able to foresee all possibly occurring situations and circumstances the system will face during its operation time, the self-organisation process of the system has to focus on self-optimising the system’s behaviour. Such self-optimising behaviour can be achieved at various levels of the system’s design, ranging from basic control architectures over self-organised coordination or collaboration methods and domain-specific optimisation techniques to the application and customisation of machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, several related topics (e.g. trust and security in collaborative systems) provide necessary functionality to enable self-optimising behaviour in AC and OC systems. In this workshop, we will discuss current concepts that help to develop self-optimising system behaviour. Thereby, a special focus will be set on current trends – especially in terms of large-scale interconnected systems. Submissions of papers are expected to refer to one of the following categories: 1. Architectural concepts for self-optimising behaviour 2. Algorithms and methods for runtime optimising 3. Security and Privacy issues related to self-optimisation 4. Applications and application scenarios for self-optimisation techniques 5. Current activities about self-optimisation in the context of Interwoven Systems *** Workshop details *** ========================= The Workshop will be held from April 4th to 7nd in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS 2016) in Nuremberg, Germany.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Walid Saad <saad.walid(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 12. Oktober 2015 01:38:01 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE ICC 2016 - 1st Workshop on Resiliency in Public Safety Communication Systems (RPSCS) *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/rpscs2015/ ______________________________________________________________ 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>

We would appreciate if you could circulate this email to colleagues and relevant mailing lists. Call for Papers With smartphones in their pockets, more than 1 billion people now have immediate access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, and this makes it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, expanding the scope of research endeavours and allowing civic issues to be addressed, without the need to purchase specialized sensors or install and maintain network infrastructure. 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE VNC 2015 - Call For Posters and Demos Datum: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 17:28:58 +0900 Von: Takayuki NISHIO <nishio(a)I.KYOTO-U.AC.JP> Antwort an: Takayuki NISHIO <nishio(a)I.KYOTO-U.AC.JP> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ***** IEEE VNC 2015 - Call For Posters and Demos ***** ============================================ 7th IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (IEEE VNC 2015) 16-18 December 2015 Hyatt Regency Hotel, Kyoto, Japan http://www.ieee-vnc.org/2015/ Poster and Demo submission deadline: 16 October 2015 ============================================ Vehicular networking and communication systems is an area of significant importance in our increasingly connected and mobile world. 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. The authors should inform the demo co-chairs if an accompanying poster will be presented. All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically. Submission instructions will be provided at a later time. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Please note that for every accepted contribution, at least one person must register for the conference and present.
