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invites researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, and accepts original, previously unpublished work on Internet of Things topics that include, but are not restricted to the following: * Applications and drivers for the Internet of Things * Novel quality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

Using information and communication technologies for the purpose of development (ICT4D) offers great promise in bridging this gap through its focus on connecting human capacity with computing and informational content. It is well known that Internet access has the capability of fostering development and growth by enabling access to information, education, and opportunities. Wireless technology is a promising solution to this problem of digital exclusion and can be instrumental in democratizing access to the Internet by unfettering developing communities from the encumbering constraints of infrastructure (traditionally associated with broadband Internet provisioning). The focus of the proposed feature topic is on leveraging wireless technologies for development (W4D) to increase the quality of life for a larger segment of human societies by providing them opportunities to connect resources and capacity, especially by provisioning affordable universal Internet access. To reflect recent research advances in using W4D, this feature topic calls for original manuscripts with contributions in, but not limited to, the following topics: - “Global access to the Internet for all” (GAIA) using wireless technologies - Do-it-yourself (DIY) wireless networking (such as community wireless networks) for the developing world - Cost-efficient wireless networked systems appropriate for use in underdeveloped areas - Fault-tolerant resilient wireless networking technologies for the developing world - Rural/remote area wireless solutions (that can work efficiently with resource constraints such as intermittent and unreliable access to power/ networking service) - Simplified network management techniques (including support for heterogeneous service delivery through multiple solutions) - Using cognitive radio technology and 5G standards (with possible native integration of satellites) for GAIA - Techno-economic issues related to W4D (including development of flexible pricing and incentive structures as well as new spectrum access models for wireless) - Techno-political and cultural issues related to using wireless communications for development - Using emerging networking architectures and future Internet architectures [e.g., cloud computing, fog computing, network functions virtualization (NFV), information-centric networking (ICN), software-defined networking (SDN), and delay-tolerant networking (DTN)] with wireless technologies for development. - Using wireless access/ distribution technologies (such as the following) for development: TV white spaces (TVWS); satellite communications using advances in geostationary orbit (GEO) and low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites; low-cost community networks; cellular technologies (such as CDMA 450, the open-source OpenBTS, etc.); wireless mesh and sensor networks; Wi-Fi-Based Long-distance (WiLD) networks; and wireless based wireless regional access networks (WRANs).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Cfp: IEEE Magazine Feature Topic on Bio-inspired Cyber Security for Communications and Networking Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 07:44:11 -0400 Von: Wojciech Mazurczyk <wmazurczyk(a)CYGNUS.TELE.PW.EDU.PL> Antwort an: Wojciech Mazurczyk <wmazurczyk(a)CYGNUS.TELE.PW.EDU.PL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Communication Magazine: Feature Topic on Bio-inspired Cyber Security for Communications and Networking Cfp: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/bio-inspired-cyber-security-communications… IMPORTANT DATES: - Manuscript submission date: November 1, 2015 - Decision notification date: February 1, 2016 - Final manuscript due date: April 1, 2016 - Publication date: June 2016 OVERVIEW Nature is Earth's most amazing invention machine for solving problems and adapting to significant environmental changes. Its ability to address complex, large-scale problems with robust, adaptable, and efficient solutions results from many years of selection, genetic drift and mutations. Thus, it is not surprising that inventors and researchers often look to natural systems for inspiration and methods for solving problems in human-created artificial environments. This has resulted in the development of evolutionary algorithms including genetic algorithms and swarm algorithms, and of classifier and pattern-detection algorithms, such as neural networks, for solving hard computational problems. A natural evolutionary driver is to survive long enough to create a next-generation of descendants and ensure their survival. One factor in survival is an organism's ability to defend against attackers, both predators and parasites, and against rapid changes in environmental conditions. Analogously, networks and communications systems use cyber security to defend their assets against cyber criminals, hostile organizations, hackers, activists, and sudden changes in the network environment (e.g., DDoS attacks). Many of the defense methods used by natural organisms may be mapped to cyber space to implement effective cyber security. Some examples include immune systems, invader detection, friend vs. foe, camouflage, mimicry, evasion, etc. Many cyber security technologies and systems in common use today have their roots in bio-inspired methods, including anti-virus, intrusion detection, threat behavior analysis, attribution, honeypots, counterattack, and the like. As the threats evolve to evade current cyber security technologies, similarly the bio-inspired security and defense technologies evolve to counter the threat. The goal of this feature topic is twofold: (1) to survey the current academic and industry research in bio-inspired cyber security for communications and networking, so that the ComSoc community can understand the current evolutionary state of cyber threats, defenses, and intelligence, and can plan for future transitions of the research into practical implementations; and (2) to survey current academic and industry system projects, prototypes, and deployed products and services (including threat intelligence services) that implement the next generation of bio-inspired methods. Please note that we recognize that in some cases, details may be limited or obscured for security reasons. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: • Bio-inspired anomaly & intrusion detection • Adaptation algorithms for cyber security & networking • Biometrics related to cyber security & networking • Bio-inspired security and networking algorithms & technologies • Biomimetics related to cyber security & networking • Bio-inspired cyber threat intelligence methods and systems • Moving-target techniques • Network Artificial Immune Systems • Adaptive and Evolvable Systems • Neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and genetic algorithms for cyber security & networking • Prediction techniques for cyber security & networking • Information hiding solutions (steganography, watermarking) and detection for network traffic • Cooperative defense systems • Bio-inspired algorithms for dependable networks SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words.

For further information please visit: http://ceca.pku.edu.cn/IoT-App15/ Submission site is open: http://everyware.sv.cmu.edu/HotCRP/IoT-App15/ Apologies to those of you who have received this message multiple times. Best, Chenren Xu http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chenren/ ===================== CALL FOR PAPERS -- IoT-App 2015 The 2015 International Workshop on Internet of Things towards Applications Co-located with ACM SenSys 2015, Seoul, South Korea http://ceca.pku.edu.cn/IoT-App15/ The notion of "Internet of Things" has emerged as a last-mile solution for connecting various cyber technologies to our everyday life. It envisions a world in which the sensor devices could exist in any form factor, anywhere, in which all the sensory data will be made available to the Internet, and be readily accessible to a wide range of applications. The sensor devices are usually attached to physical objects, providing a real-time, interactive view of the physical world. Although much progress has been made at the system and sensing level, applications for these platforms are considerably lagging behind. Without compelling applications, the vision of the Internet of Things will not be realized. The 2015 International Workshop on Internet of Things towards Applications ( IoT-App'15) aims to provide a forum for researchers to present thoughts and results on IoT applications. We are looking for application descriptions, development, experiences and evaluation in a wide range of domains including, but not limited to homes, offices, medical care, vehicles, transportation, supply chains and education. Particularly, we are interested in identifying new applications that are made possible by the Internet of Things, as well as new challenges these applications will pose to the design of an Internet of Things. TOPICS of INTEREST = Novel IoT applications and services = Application-driven IoT middleware = Mobility and network connectivity in IoT applications = Cloud and/or cloudlet support for IoT applications = Machine learning, data mining and big data analytics = Energy efficiency = Security and privacy = Experiences in developing and deploying operational IoT applications and services We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative IoT applications. Successful submissions will elaborate one or multiple desirable properties as follows: 1) Provide a quantitative analysis of outstanding systems challenges highlighted by the application; 2) Have a quantitative estimate of cost savings relative to the status quo; 3) Make a compelling case that the application will be disruptive. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of the their own. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages in PDF format, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point font and 1 inch margin.

Dear colleagues, The SUBMISSION DEADLINE has been extended to 28 August 2015! Best regards, Ivan From: Ivan.Ganchev Sent: 17 April 2015 20:33 To: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Subject: [CFP Elsevier Computer Networks]: Special Issue on “Mobile Wireless Networks” CFP Elsevier Computer Networks, IF 1.282 (2013), 5-year IF 1.871 (2013) Special Issue on “Mobile Wireless Networks” Wireless networks of moving objects have drawn significant attention recently. These types of networks consist of a number of autonomous or semi-autonomous wireless nodes/objects moving with diverse patterns and speeds while communicating via several radio interfaces simultaneously. Examples of such objects include smartphones and other user mobile devices, robots, cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, actuators, etc., which are connected in some way to each other and to the Internet. With every object acting as a networking node generating, relaying and/or absorbing data, these networks may serve as a supplementary infrastructure for the provision of smart, ubiquitous, highly contextualized and customized services and applications available anytime-anywhere-anyhow. Achieving this will require global interworking and interoperability amongst objects, which is not typical today. To overcome current shortcomings, a number of research challenges have to be addressed in this area, ranging from initial conceptualization and modelling, to protocols and architectures engineering, and development of suitable tools, applications and services, and to the elaboration of realistic use-case scenarios by taking into account also corresponding societal and economical aspects. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contribution that describes original and unpublished work addressing the wireless communications and networking issues to support moving objects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: WiNeMO Techno-Business Models WiNeMO Performance Modeling and Evaluation Protocols and Architectures for Moving Objects M2M Aspects of WiNeMO Synergy and Cooperation in Heterogeneous Networks WiNeMO Security Issues Applications and Services for Moving Objects WiNeMO Testbeds, Prototypes, and Practical Systems WiNeMO Case Studies Societal and Economical Aspects of WiNeMO Submission Details All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated with respect to the relevance to this special issue, level of innovation, depth of contribution, and quality of presentation.

A rich algorithm and protocol ecosystem has emerged too, enabling various applications with very different requirements. At the same time, real deployments of wireless sensor networks still prove to be cumbersome and not sufficiently automated. Even the best known and used algorithms and protocols need to be carefully manually tuned, in order to adapt to the environment and the application. Recently other sensing networks and applications have emerged, such as mobile sensing, crowd sensing, smartphone sensing, cyber physical systems, the Internet of Things, etc. Even if their concepts and approaches differ from each other, the real-world problems apply similarly and even extend to challenges like keeping up the interest of human users, enabling privacy and security, etc. Thus, this issue of RealWSN will extend its focus to include all relevant sensing applications. The purpose of RealWSN is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original contributions which aim to tackle the problem of development and deployment of sensing applications in the real world. ================== Workshop Scope: ================== The targeted topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensing application deployments - Software tools for characterisation, parametrisation and automatisation of sensing applications - Datasets gathered from real sensing applications - Negative results and unsuccessful deployments - Works in progress and not yet solved issues - Management of faulty and malicious data in the real world Sensing applications include, but are not limited to: - Wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobile sensing, smartphone sensing - Crowd sensing - Cyber physical systems - Internet of Things ================== Submission Guidelines: ================== Short papers (max 4 pages) together with all relevant documentation (source code, trace files, etc.) should be submitted by July 26th, 2015. The same submissions should be previously unpublished, and not currently under review by another conference or journal.

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 experimentation 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 "collective 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.

Moving away from the Internet's legacy host-to-host communication model, CCN/NDN promises a new host-to-data communication model, by leveraging named data, name-based routing and in-network storage for caching. At the same time, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), with its rich set of challenges and requirements placed upon the current Internet, provide an interesting ground for showcasing the contribution and performance of CCN mechanisms. This special session calls for recent research, practical experiences, and development lessons on the intersection of the paradigms of CCN and IoT. The objective is to promote the integration of Content Centric Networking and Internet of Things by addressing the unique problems in IoT, such as mobility, interference of wireless channel, limitation of storage and battery, security and privacy. Novel applications, practical experience and solutions on deploying CCN over IoT are also welcome. The Special Session on Content Centric Internet of Things (CCIoT) seeks original contributions in the following topical areas, plus others that are not explicitly listed but are closely related: * Content-centric network architecture for IoT * RFID-based naming strategy * Information publish/subscribe mechanism for data collection * Routing in wireless CCN * Resource management such as power, computing, storage, bandwidth, and user interface * Context-aware networking for smart home, health care, transportation, etc. * Novel application, prototype or solution in consumer networks with CCN * Security, privacy, and trust in CCN over IoT * Contextual communication in IoT applications SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting original research that has not been previously published, and is not currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM SAC 2016 - RST track CfP Datum: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 13:57:24 +0000 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> Antwort an: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 31st ACM/SIGAPP SAC Symposium on Applied Computing April 4-8, 2016. Pisa, Italy. T r a c k R S T RELIABLE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES AND COMMUNICATION MIDDLEWARE http://rstsac.uc3m.es A selection of best submissions will be invited to a SI of the journal FUTURE GENERATION COMPUTER SYSTEMS (Elsevier, IF=2.786 in 2014) C a l l f o r P a p e r s -------------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years, the world of high-end parallel and distributed computing systems and applications (in their continuous evolving declinations in the form of high-performance computing, grid computing and cloud) is generally paying increasing attention to the problems related to quality of service, determination of the temporal behavior and response of the proposed software platform solutions, interactivity, and performance of the communication tools. In the modern computation centers, traditional distributed applications may coexist with others that become more and more time-sensitive (cross-border surveillance and object tracking, net gaming, remote video streaming, etc.), and this tends to happen in a virtualized infrastructure. The design of distributed reliable systems must take into account the selection and evaluation of interaction models, software technology choices, temporal behaviour, resource efficiency, performance, scalability, and coordination. In addition, this track calls for dynamic middleware solutions capable of taking context-aware resource management decisions in order to enforce the most appropriate quality levels depending on application SLAs and overall (possibly clustered) visibility of resource status. These solutions are particularly challenging when dealing with large-scale open deployment environments and their associated scalability issues. Novel and relevant application domains push for evolution and disruptive research in this field; only to mention a few, middleware solutions for datacenter resource management optimization for quality-aware online stream processing of big data flows, energy-aware middleware for resource management in smart city/smart grid deployment environments, middleware for cloud-hosted cyber-physical systems with strict requirements on latency and reliability. Topics include (but are not limited to) the challenging issues in the design of reliable and resource efficient middleware: -Reliable and time-sensitive distribution models -Performance of distributed applications -Cloud computing advances for cyber-physical systems and mobile cloud computing. -Middleware for the efficient integration of cyber-physical systems and the cloud -Reactive stream processing and on line processing of big data flows -Efficient integration with the run-time support: operating systems and virtualization technology -QoS-aware middleware for datacenter resource management -Interaction models (e.g., publish-subscribe or event-based). -Programming models and languages -Efficient and context-aware server-side management of smart city data -Scalability in city-wide deployment scenarios IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: September 11, 2015. Author notification: November 13, 2015. Camera ready paper: December 11, 2015. PAPER SUBMISSION Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format (6 pages in ACM conf style), according to the instructions contained in the track web site http://rstsac.uc3m.es. Contributions must contain original unpublished work not concurrently submitted to other conferences or journals.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 2nd International Conference on Safety and Security in Internet of Things (SaSeIoT 2015) Datum: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 08:18:25 -0400 Von: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)YMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)YMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** ==================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Conference on Safety and Security in Internet of Things (SaSeIoT 2015) http://securityiot.eu/2015/show/home 26-27 October, 2015 – Rome, Italy ==================================================================================== SCOPE The infrastructure of large cities is becoming increasingly vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. Complex Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructures, critical dependencies and unforeseen cascading effects can worsen single hazard events to a threatening crisis of several entire infrastructures. With the dense population in urban areas along with the critical dependency on infrastructures, such crises become a serious threat to the safety and security of citizens and industries. When the "unforeseen" happens, public security comes to its limits Whether cyber, natural or industrial disasters - effective risk management must be a continuous process that recognizes new threats and opportunities, in particular in relation to new technological evolutions. Internet of Things (IoT) will have an enormous impact on our future infrastructures. In the context of safety and security this is at the same time a challenge (How can we design secure and resilient IoT infrastructures?) and an opportunity (How can we use IoT for better safety and security?). In particular in urban environments, the increasing deployments of IoT technologies and the rapid proliferation of sensored and automated cities are opening up new avenues of threats and opportunities toward public safety and security. Although we have seen various deployments of diverse IoT systems, our understanding of these systems and their implications in the context of safety and security has just scratched the surface. The Second International Conference on Safety and Security with IoT (SaSeIoT 2015) aims to explore these dynamics within the scope of IoT in the context of Safety and Security. The conference solicits original and inspiring research contributions from technology experts, researchers, designers, practitioners in academia, authorities and industry, and promises to offer a highly interactive forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices primarily in the following main application oriented themes: • Ensuring the resilience and security of IoT dependent infrastructures The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to: - Models, methods and tools for testing IoT infrastructures - Design of resilient IoT infrastructures - Detection, prevention, response and mitigation of cyber threats to IoT - Trust and identity management in IoT - Security protocols in IoT - Risk analysis and management for IoT infrastructures - Threat modeling in IoT • Using IoT for crisis and emergency management The topics of interest in this theme include, but are not limited to: - IoT for threat and hazard detection - IoT for situation-awareness - IoT for crisis and emergency response - IoT for command & control - IoT for emergency forces • Privacy in IoT • Security and IoT Cloudification PAPER SUBMISSION Regular Papers should be up to 12 pages in length. Short papers up to 4 pages in length. Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found on the conference web site at: http://securityiot.eu/2015/show/initial-submission Papers will be judged on originality, correctness, clarity and relevance. Submitted papers must be original work and should not be under consideration for another conference or journal.Submission of the paper implies agreement of the author(s) to attend the conference and present the paper if accepted. PUBLICATION All accepted papers will be published by Springer. The proceedings will be available both in book form and via the SpringerLink digital library. SPECIAL ISSUE of INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL A special issue of ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 will be organized after the conference containing selected best papers of the conference.
