[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * Preliminary Call for Papers * * CHANTS 2015 * 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop Challenged Networks * * http://www.acm-chants.org/15 * (co-located with MobiCom 2015) * * Paris, France * September 11, 2015 * * Submissions due: May 25, 2015 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ========= Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. Challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, and opportunistic and participatory sensing. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and LTE’s D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the nine previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work, including studies of real deployment. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo submissions. All papers shall be forward looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network coding in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, IoT) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue - Mobile Traffic Analytics Datum: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 15:41:08 +0200 Von: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> Antwort an: Marco Fiore <fiore(a)TLC.POLITO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Communications http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/ Special Issue on Mobile Traffic Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Scope Mobile traffic analytics enable the study of the movement and service consumption of mobile subscribers at large scales. The rise of mobile traffic analytics is fostered by an unprecedented availability of data, collected by mobile operators through probes deployed at the access and core networks, or gathered by dedicated research initiatives via monitoring apps running on users’ smartphones. Both approaches can harvest information about large populations, from hundreds to millions individuals, over long time periods, from weeks to years. The richness of mobile traffic datasets is paramount to research in a wide range of disciplines, including, e.g., sociology, transportations, statistical physics, epidemiology, and – of course – networking. However, several technical challenges need to be tackled to release the full potential of such data sources, including the assessment of statistical robustness of inferred knowledge, the overcoming of scalability issues, and the consideration for data access limitations imposed by privacy regulations that tend to reduce data usability. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather contributions presenting state-of-the-art research dealing with all facets of mobile traffic analytics. We expect submissions to present quantitative evaluations carried out on substantial real-world datasets of mobile traffic. Here, we intend the term "traffic" in its wider acceptation. We thus invite works on data collected via, e.g., Call Detail Records (CDR), access (RNC) and core (MSC, GGSN/PGW) network probes, or smartphone monitoring apps; data can be limited to mobility patterns, it can concern traditional user-to-user mobile services (i.e., calling and texting), it can focus on the mobile data traffic demand (at any granularity, from throughput volumes to the precise services and protocols employed), or it can contain any combination of such information types. We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary research works at the interface between networking and disciplines such as those mentioned above. Special attention will be deserved to findings and results that have practical applications in terms of technological innovation, sustainable development, data and network management, and mobile services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Original (open) mobile traffic datasets - Preparation and management of mobile traffic datasets - Generative models for synthetic mobile traffic datasets - Algorithms, structures, and (visual) tools for mobile traffic analysis - Privacy and security issues in mobile traffic analysis, and countermeasures - Inference of social features and mobility patterns from mobile traffic - Profiling of mobile device and mobile users from mobile traffic - Characterization of the mobile subscriber demand from mobile traffic - Comparison of mobile traffic features across cities, regions, and countries - Mobile traffic analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems - Mobile traffic analytics for cognitive and anticipatory networking - Mobile access and core network enhancements from mobile traffic analysis - Mobile traffic analytics for device-to-device and opportunistic communication - Mobile service marketing strategies from mobile traffic analysis + Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: October 16, 2015 First notification: January 22, 2016 Submission of revised paper: March 11, 2016 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2016 + Guest Editors Marco Fiore, CNR – IEIIT (marco.fiore(a)ieiit.cnr.it) M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal [IF=1.94] -- SI on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" Datum: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:27:28 +0200 Von: Pasquale Pace <ppace(a)DIMES.UNICAL.IT> Antwort an: Pasquale Pace <ppace(a)DIMES.UNICAL.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on " Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. -------------------------- Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Smart Wireless Access Networks and Systems For Smart Cities" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-iss ue-on-smart-wireless-access-networks-and-systems/ AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billions of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process a huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. Their role however does not end here. Smartphones, in fact, are very powerful devices with constantly increasing processing, communication and sensing capabilities and very recently, a large plethora of proposals have emerged to leverage those capabilities to contribute to the information production process. For instance, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smarthphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to became a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing feature and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. This Special Issue aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to address the formerly highlighted issues. Specifically on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. At the same time, beside studying the issues of the city-wide infrastructure deployment, the workshop aims to investigate the potential provided by the end-users devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) when augmented in order to turn them into active components of the smart-city ecosystem, instead of mere connection end-points. Such a potential includes the possibility to extend the network access in a pervasive way, to provide ubiquitous computing services, and to favor the emergence of "collectivity intelligence behaviors" through collaboration and direct communication among devices. In lines with such objectives, the topics of interests include -but it is not limited to- the following issues: . Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city . Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; . Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); . IoT architectures and middlewares; . Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; . Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; . Systems for distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; . Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments . Crowd sourcing in smart cities; . Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; . Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; . Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; . Testbed on the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; . Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; . Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing; . Cooperative systems of Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------- Manuscript submission: 1st August 2015 Notification of acceptance: 1st February 2016 Final Manuscript Due: 1st March 2016 Online Publication: 1st May 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks.

Best regards Andreas Reinhardt ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SENSEAPP 2015 TENTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2015) Sheraton Sand Key Resort Clearwater Beach, Florida, USA 26-29 October 2015 http://www.senseapp.org CALL FOR PAPERS For more than a decade, embedded wireless sensors and actuators have been increasingly networked to continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE CSS 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS (Submission due date extended) Datum: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 20:51:11 -0400 Von: Longxiang Gao <longx(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Longxiang Gao <longx(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CSS 2015 Call For Papers http://cse.stfx.ca/~css2015/ A large fraction of the population in the world now spends a great deal of time in cyberspace. Cyberspace has become a critical infrastructure that is embedded in almost all other critical infrastructures and enables every movement of human society. It is thus very much in the public interest to have a safe and secure cyberspace. In the past several years, there has been large number of attacks in cyberspace, such as attacks on the Internet, attacks on embedded/real-time computing and control systems, and attacks on dedicated computing facilities. Many research efforts have been made to achieve cyberspace safety and security, such as blocking and limiting the impact of compromise, enabling accountability, promoting deployment of defense systems, and deterring potential attackers and penalizing attackers. The 7th International Symposium on Cyberspace Safety and Security provides a leading edge forum to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the cyberspace safety and security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to network with experts in this area. It focusses on Cyberspace Safety and Security, such as uthentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability issues of cyberspace.

The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: * Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; * Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies * IoT systems and components * IoT for semantic web and personalization * Tools for developing IoT applications * Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT * Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT * Device to device communications for the IoT * Security and privacy control mechanisms * Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) * PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications * MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT * Mobility management * Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability * Object, device and service management * RFID, sensors, actuator technologies * Middleware * Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) * Test-beds and field trials * Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html . Papers should be submitted through Easychair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotip15 . All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: * Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; * Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.

The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. The SWANSITY workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city - Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities - Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; - Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities - Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; - Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; - Crowd sourcing in smart cities; - Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; - Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; - Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; - Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; - Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing - Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management To be published in the IEEE SWANSITY Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence and sensors to perform required operations. They must be able to wirelessly communicate with other nodes or remote centre in their network, exchanging information and receiving instructions in a reliable and secure way. They must be autonomous, capable of managing the energy resources in order to extend their lifetime span. Considered objects may include everything from lightweight sensors to smart-gadgets like smartphones and wearable devices. The increased smartness of the participating objects is crucial to solve the issues derived from the required cooperation and possibly unpredictable and intense mobility. The objects can move in many different ways, covering transportation means from (i) terrestrial, like cars or trains, to (ii) aerial like drones or planes, and (iii) underwater ships. But even static objects should be flexible enough to efficiently handle on-off patterns imposed for energy savings. The SMARTOBJECTS workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of novel communication approaches and systems for smart objects in the emerging cooperative environments. We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena. Topics: ======= • App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms • Communication between mobile devices and cars • Communication for drone coordination • Content Distribution • Data collection, organization and dissemination methods • Data replication protocols in network partitions • Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches • Deployment and field testing • Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Human-object interaction • Innovative services and applications for mobile devices in vehicles • Location- and track-based services in cars • Mobile service architectures and frameworks • Mobility and handover management • New application scenarios for vehicular communications • Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT • Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices • Privacy issues and solutions • Protocol design, testing and verification • Security issues, architectures and solutions • Sensor-networks in vehicles • Sensors & Data Collection • Smart cities and urban applications • Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones/UAVs • Swarm movement, coordination, and behaviour • Wireless in-vehicle networks Papers Submission Instructions: =============================== SMARTOBJECTS invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. The workshop will accept full paper, poster, and demo submissions. All submissions must be provided in PDF format, and follow the formatting guidelines of MobiCom 2015.
