Paris, France September 7th, 2015 More information is available at: https://mobiarch15.lip6.fr/index.html Announcement posted by Keun-Woo Lim (keun-woo.lim(a)lip6.fr) MobiArch 2015 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in future clean-slate Internet. We encourage also work-in-progress papers, we especially welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. MobiArch 2015 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment which mixes the mobility information of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network statesand service provisioning. This data may come from network management and monitoring architectures, from the user device and even directly from the application. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. Topics of Interest All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: * Impact of new wireless networking technologies on the mobile-centric Internet architecture * Mobility support in the Internet, ranging from link to application layers or cross-layer design solutions * Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks * Data mining approaches in mobile network management data analysis * Data mining approaches in mobile phone data analysis * User mobility and digital usages pattern correlation * Software defined and cloudassisted mobile networking * Role of network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Data-driven mobile network and service design * Mobile data fusion and mixing algorithms * Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks * Impact of massive data collection, analysis and management in mobile architecture and services * Impact of incentives and smart pricing on network utilization and user Quality of Experience (QoE) * Impact of high throughput mobile interface on ad-hoc networks * Addressing and routing issues, location management, support for location-aware application and protocols * Security and privacy issues in mobile networks and impact on Internet architecture * Economic, regulation, and deployment issues of mobility solutions (infrastructure and devices) Important Dates Full paper submissions due: May 15th, 2015 (11:59pm EST) Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2015 Camera ready due: July 27th, 2015 Workshop date: September 7th, 2015 Organization Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Stefano Secci, UPMC, France Xinbing Wang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Steering Committee Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Program Committee Claude Chaudet, Telecom ParisTech Wenguang Chen, Tsinghua University Xu Chen, University of Goettingen Marco Fiore, CNR Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec Jeremie Leguay, Huawei Xin Liu, UC Davis Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino Stefano Secci, University Pierre and Marie Curie Razvan Stanica, INRIA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University Xinbing Wang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Lixia Zhang, UCLA Publicity Co-Chairs Lionel Tabourier, UPMC, France Keun-Woo Lim, UPMC, France Local Arrangement Chair Keun-Woo Lim, UPMC, France ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, smart city, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. Presently, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: i) architectures, protocols and algorithms for efficient interconnection of smart objects; and ii) the creation of value-added services enabled by the interconnection of smart objects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Dependability, security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Performance, QoS and SLA in IoT/M2M scenarios - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications and case studies (eHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

For instance, many types of sensor nodes equipped with communication modules are providing more and more information about industrial production, and managing this newly-accessible sensing information can help to reduce maintenance cost, by automatically identifying the status of modules to avoid system unprepared breakdowns. Moreover, recent innovations in cyber-physical systems interconnecting industrial elements have not only improved their own capabilities, but also enabled them to connect to other networks and to the Internet. Based on above-mentioned advances and innovations, sensing-based integrated intellectualization will be an inevitable process for industrial systems. This ongoing process is addressing complex problems, utilizing the large-scale integration of distributed resources and sensing data, improving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of modern industrial production and applications, and overcoming one of the key weaknesses of industrial systems, decision making. New intelligent models, architecture, approaches, algorithms and solutions are needed to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of problems in modern industry, e.g., (i) cyber-physical component and device control problems, (ii) the energy consumption problems of equipment and productive processes, and (iii) the environmental pollution control problems of industrial production. This Special Section on "Industrial Sensing Intelligence" is to provide a forum for researchers to discuss and exchange their latest achievements in related industrial systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: - Innovative forecasting methods for solving complex problems in sensing-based modern industries, e.g., environmental protection - Integration, processing and analysis of sensing data from spatially-distributed sensors for intelligent control and decision making - Data mining and knowledge discovery based on Big Data analysis from the aspect of Industrial Internet of Things - Intelligent control, localization and navigation systems for assets, productive processes and productive participants with the help of Geographic Intelligence or other sensing information from the physical world - Standardization and test beds in the industrial sensing intelligence domain, for building automation systems, intelligent transport systems, energy management frameworks and structural monitoring infrastructure Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting new developments at the interface of industrial sensing intelligence are especially welcome. All contributions must focus on industrial sensing system related applications.

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.

******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * DroNet 2015 * 1st Workshop on * Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications * for Civilian Use * * http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2015/workshops/DroNet/ * (organized in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2015) * * Florence, Italy * May 18, 2015 * * Submissions due (NEW DEADLINE): March 10, 2015 * * Please register submissions before due date! * Paper authors may update papers until due date! * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ======== Micro and nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs), often referred to as drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles of various forms, such as small quadrocopters, airplanes, balloons, or tiny flapping wing vehicles. They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon has recently advertised their new drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs that need to coordinate their activities. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design (requirements and challenges) - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Communication for drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - MAV-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Automated map generation - Game, entertainment, and multimedia drone applications - Smart cities and urban applications of MAVs - Social good applications - Emergency applications - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds.

Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Tom H. Luan <tom.luan(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Apologies for cross posting* ********************Call for Papers************************* IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Special issue: Emerging Technology for 5G Enabled Vehicular Networks Deadline: July 1, 2015 CFP URL: http://anss.org.au/members/thluan/pdf/TVT_SI_5G_Vanet.pdf Overview: It is foreseeable that in the very near future on-board Internet access, e.g., online media streaming, social networking, real-time traffic report acquisition and online navigation, would become a standard feature of future motor vehicles. In 2014, both Google and Apple released their mobile operating systems for autos, and it is estimated that more than 50% of vehicles sold worldwide in 2015 will be connected, either by embedded, tethered or smartphone integration. Motivated by the increasing applications and tremendous market demands of vehicular networking, how to enable the high-rate and reliable Internet connections to vehicles in a scalable and cost-effective manner is therefore one of the key research issues for the next-generation mobile networks. While IEEE develops IEEE 802.11p as the main communications standard for vehicular networking, the emerging 5G cellular networks still represent the most practical and convenient marketing solutions to enabling ubiquitous and reliable connections to vehicles in the densely populated urban areas. With ample bandwidth and lowered cost, the 5G cellular networks would enable rich engaged service applications to vehicles and, more importantly, efficiently drive the convergence of vehicular networking to existing Internet framework and applications, such as cloud computing and video streaming. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue to present the vision, research, and dedicated efforts on the key technologies emerging for 5G cellular communication enabled vehicular networks. The special issue seeks original contributions which address the fundamental research challenges on the related topics, that can help the community analyse the current state, identify future goals, and refine the architectures and technologies of vehicular networks with the emerging 5G technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Performance evaluation of 5G radio technologies for the vehicular communications * Novel vehicular applications and service scenarios of 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Protocol design and resource allocation for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Design, implementation and deployment for 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Internetworking technology of 5G systems and DSRC networks * Traffic redundancy elimination and data offload in 5G cellular based vehicular networks * Efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and safety applications through 5G cellular based vehicular networking * Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization for supporting 5G vehicular networks * Cloud computing and big data techniques for novel vehicular applications with 5G cellular networks * Novel ITS applications of vehicular networks based on SDN, big data, cloud computing and emerging 5G technologies * Efficient and cost-effective multimedia streaming and applications to vehicles using 5G cellular networks * Security and privacy in the 5G cellular enabled vehicular networks Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Authors should follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/tvt/) under Information for Authors. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via the journal online paper submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tvt-ieee Important Dates: * Paper Submission: July 1, 2015 * First Round Decisions: October 1, 2015 * Revised Papers: December 1, 2015 * Final Editorial Decision: January 1, 2016 * Final Manuscripts Due: February 1, 2016 * Publication Date: Second Quarter 2016 Guest Editors: * Tom H.

Please circulate this CFP among your colleagues and students. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS [ContextQoS 2015] 5th International Workshop on Context-aware Quality of Service Engineering and Management for Cyber Physical Systems Emerging Networks, Applications and Services Important Dates Paper due: March 6th, 2015 Author Notification: April 13th, 2015 Camera-ready due: May 8th, 2015 In conjunction with 24th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2015 from August 3 - 6, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV, USA! ICCCN is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The Proceedings of the ICCCN 2015 has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program. Workshop papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be EI indexed. For more information: http://www.contextqos.org **************************************************************************** Context-aware QoS provisioning and management (also known as context-aware performance engineering) has many facets and most of the time novel tailored schemes are required to provide an appropriate level of QoS for different types of networks, applications and services. The provisioning of a certain level of QoS according to the requirements of an entire context can hardly be accomplished in special networks, e. g. for Advanced Manufacturing, using traditional QoS provisioning and management schemes because these do not account for the requirements introduced by the new dynamic networks and applications. The definition of a certain level of QoS using the traditional models is just driven by technical aspects of the running applications. Novel context-aware schemes have to be developed to cope with the challenges given by these special networks. These must account for the dynamic requirements and ideally allow to permit system-independent usage. Advanced Manufacturing is only one example for a new type of network that has to face special requirements. Context-awareness is required in several types of networks and for different types of applications and services. All of these are different. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to network traffic of a corporate Intra-Network. Each of them have different constraints and demands that should be covered by a context-aware QoS provisioning and management system. This workshop, among other things, wants to bring together researchers to present and discuss novel approaches and solutions as well as recent results in this area of research, e.g. specially designed for Advanced Manufacturing, Cloud and Grid Computing, Wireless Mesh Networks, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless and Mobile Sensor Networks, Private Home Networks as well as other types of Cyber Physical Systems and Networks. Technical Topics * Performance engineering for Advanced Manufacturing * QoS for mission critical communications * Recognition of performance relevant context-patterns * Context-pattern transformation for QoS provisioning * Autonomous context-aware traffic classification * Concepts for achieving transparency to co-existing QoS mechanisms * Security and privacy of context-aware QoS approaches * Control protocols for distributed QoS provisioning and management * Performance-driven routing protocols and algorithms * Cross-platform QoS control * Context-dependent energy management * Cognitive QoS patterns in multi-agent systems * Implementation of context-aware QoS-drivers and middlewares * Concepts for usage of context-aware QoS approaches * Performance analysis of context-aware QoS approaches * Real-Time concepts for context-aware QoS control * Context-aware transmit power control * and all other topics not named at this point, but belonging to the main topic of this workshop Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via Easychair as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper).

Regarding future trends, it is estimated that 93% of urban growth will occur in developing nations, with 80% of urban growth occurring in Asia and Africa. Urged by these observations, city halls and political decision makers are calling for urgent solutions to the growing problems caused by this increasing population concentration. Recent advances in information and communication technologies may stimulate new solutions towards the urbanization problems, and the mission of this workshop is to present recent achievements in ubiquitous computing from a smart cities perspective. Smart city research mainly focuses on applying next-generation information technologies in daily activities, like embedding sensors and actuators in hospitals, power grids, roads, buildings, water systems, vehicles, and other objects forming the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study identifies five industry sectors that are core to the development of smart cities: energy, water, transportation, buildings, and government. This Workshop addresses the aforementioned issues by examining new technological developments, under the context of ubiquitous computing and smart environments, in the general areas of: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Communications, IoT architectures, data storage and handling, security and privacy, reliability and fault tolerance, risk analysis and service business models. Experiences from deployments and case studies related to the aforementioned subject areas are particularly welcome. The Call for Papers covers (but is not limited to) the areas of: Places of Living and Work * Multimedia pervasive computing for smart environments * E-Health services in smart environments * Smart applications for special user groups (e.g. people with disabilities) * Personalized, transformable urban housing and farming * Time-shifted, shared space-on-demand for collaborative work * Sensing and algorithms to understand fine-grained human activity for responsive lighting, HVAC, health, energy conservation, and communication in the home and workplace Mobility Networks: * Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of cooperative applications and services, vehicular networking for smart transportation * Multi-modal mobility recommendation engines * Technologies and services for new urban vehicles such as electric scooters, automobiles, bike-lane vehicles, etc. * Autonomous vehicle technology and vehicle-pedestrian interfaces * Technologies for shared-use vehicle systems * Electronic parking systems Electronic and Social Networks: * New network-centric methods for managing reactive, data-driven city systems * Social, multimedia and ubiquitous computing for smart cities * Urban-scale serious games to shape use of resources such as shared-used mobility, variable-rate power, and flexible workspaces * The development of exchange networks in order to obtain more stable, fair, and socially acceptable services Urban Analysis and Modeling: * Data-driven analysis of economic activity, human behavior, mobility patterns, resource consumption, etc. in order to inform an evidence-based process of designing new cities * Parametric urban design tools to schematically define mobility nodes, streets, building massing, and location of resources to create nested compact urban cells (walkable neighborhoods) * Urban energy, mobility, water, food, and waste simulator for new, post-oil cities * Typology of streetscapes, pathways, mobility nodes, and responsive technologies for cities Paper Submission: ------------------------ Authors are invited to submit, via the EDAS system, full papers written in English, with a paper length of 6 printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (overlength are allowed, up to two extra pages, at an extra cost).
