Recently, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered to be able to conduct many interesting applications. For example, for the smart home service, wireless sensors can be in-built on electric devices. When a user controls a device by a smart controller, the corresponding wireless sensor receives the command and performs appropriate/smart actions. For the industry, wireless sensor nodes can be used to monitor the vibration of machines. When there is an abnormal alarm, the sensor nodes can generate an instant report to the person in charge. Besides the above two examples, there are many other novel applications developing based on WSN technology, e.g., indoor localization, disaster monitoring, structure health monitoring, and so on. These applications have different considerations and requirements that need to be conquered. The aim of this workshop is to provide the opportunities for researchers and industrials to discuss on the achievements on applications that integrate with wireless sensors. We encourage authors to show possible scenarios, development of prototyping implementations, and evaluations on real cases. We further welcome the ideas which integrate with smart portable devices, involve multiple platforms, and interwork between different standards/protocols. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: -Integration of multiple platforms/protocols/devices in WSN applications -Sensing devices designing for WSN applications -Transmission protocol design and standard develop for WSN applications -Power management and energy conserving for WSN applications -Data mining and security issues for WSN applications -Test-beds and platforms for specific WSN applications -Real case studies/demonstrations/measurements of WSN applications -Trends and novel applications ===================== Submission guidelines ===================== Submitted papers must be in camera-ready IEEE format, not exceeding 5 pages. Authors should submit their papers through EasyChair system for peer-review. The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsnap2015.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Internet of Things Journal, SI on Cloud Computing for IoT (Deadline Extended to 8 Dec 2014) Datum: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 13:14:10 +0100 Von: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> Antwort an: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ==================================================== IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT *** Submission Deadline Extended to: December 8th 2014 *** CALL FOR PAPERS ==================================================== Over recent past years there has been a growing interest in the ability of embedded devices, sensors, actuators to communicate and create a ubiquitous cyber-physical world. The growth of the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid development of technologies such as short range mobile communication and improved energy-efficiency is expected to create a pervasive connection of "things". This will inevitably result in the generation of enormous amount of data, which have to be stored, processed and accessed. Cloud computing has long been recognized as a paradigm for big data storage and analytics. The combination of cloud computing and IoT can enable ubiquitous sensing services and powerful processing of sensing data streams beyond the capability of individual "things", thus stimulating innovations in both fields. For example, cloud platforms allow the sensing data to be stored and used intelligently for smart monitoring and actuation with the smart devices. Novel data fusion algorithms, machine learning methods, and artificial intelligence techniques can be implemented and run centralized or distributed on the cloud to achieve automated decision making. These will boost the development of new applications such as smart cities, grids, and transportation systems. New challenges however arise when IoT meets cloud -- there is an urgent need for novel network architectures that seamlessly integrate them, and protocols that facilitate big data streaming from IoT to the cloud. QoS and QoE, as well as data security, privacy, and reliability, are critical concerns during the integration. This special issue solicits high-quality original research papers which focuses on the integration of cloud computing and IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] [Call For Papers] - IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 01:09:36 +0900 Von: JSong-sejong <jseungsong.sju(a)gmail.com> An: TC IIN Mailing List <tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr> [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Internet of Things/M2M from Research to Standards: The Next Steps (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0815.html) Manuscript submission: January 15, 2015 ===================================================================== IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Internet of Things/M2M from Research to Standards: The Next Steps (http://www.comsoc.org/files/Publications/Magazines/ci/cfp/cfpcommag0815.html) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a framework in which all things have a representation and a presence in the Internet. More specifically, the Internet of Things aims at offering new applications and services bridging the physical and virtual worlds, in which Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications represents the baseline communication that enables the interactions between Things and applications in the cloud. The Internet of Things allows for the pervasive interaction with/between smart things leading to an effective integration of information into the digital world. These smart (mobile) things - which are instrumented with sensing, actuation, and interaction capabilities - have the means to exchange information and influence real-world entities and other actors of such a digital world eco-system in real time, forming a smart pervasive computing environment. The objective is to achieve global access to the services and information through the so-called Web of Things, as well as efficient support for global communications. The first generation of IoT/M2M standards (from IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, IETF, oneM2M, etc.) is sufficiently mature to enable large-scale operational deployments. Connectivity, vertical data models, RESTful APIs and device lifecycle management are concrete examples of these foundation standards representing the basis of current deployments such as eHealth, automotive, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and smart cities. As the IoT deployment pace accelerates, a next generation of standards is needed to realize the full IoT/M2M vision. This feature topic seeks both mature and early research on candidate standards that will transfer to standards organizations such as oneM2M, IETF, 3GPP, IEEE, HGI, BBF, etc. Submitted papers in this feature topic are expected to focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of IoT/M2M from academics and industry viewpoints. The aim of this special issue is thus to offer a venue where researchers from both academia and industry can publish premier articles on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of IoT/M2M standards concepts. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following areas of standards research: * Lightweight protocols and structured data such as Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for the IoT * Interworking with other technologies and systems such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing * Advanced indexing, naming, and addressing of the IoT * Optimization and enhancement of the currently standardized IoT architectures * Novel concepts for sensors and actuators such as crowd-sourcing * Abstraction and Semantics technologies for devices and services * Experiences and field trials of IoT applications: Smart cities, digital * IoT/M2M Management: Device management evolutions, Autonomous management, Conflict management, service harmonization * Next generation of open platforms and hardware for the IoT * Security, Trust, Privacy and Identity in the IoT Manuscript Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6, and mathematical equations should be avoided. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. Complete guidelines can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central web site (at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the submission deadline. Submit articles to the category “August 2015/IoT M2M Standards Research” Submission Schedule * Manuscript Submission: 15-January-2015 * Notification of acceptance: 01-April-2015 * Final Manuscript Due: 01-June-2015 * Publication: August 2015 Guest Editors Omar Elloumi Alcatel-Lucent, France Email: omar.elloumi(a)alcatel-lucent.com <mailto:omar.elloumi@alcatel-lucent.com> JaeSeung Song Sejong University, South Korea Email: jssong(a)sejong.ac.kr <mailto:jssong@sejong.ac.kr> Yacine Ghamri-Doudane University of la Rochelle, France Email: yacine.ghamri(a)univ-lr.fr <mailto:yacine.ghamri@univ-lr.fr> Victor Leung University of British Columbia Email: vleung(a)ece.ubc.ca <mailto:vleung@ece.ubc.ca> -- JaeSeung Song, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Computer and Information Security, Sejong University Tel: +82-2-3408-2901 Mobile: +82-10-7355-2783 E-mail:jssong@sejong.ac.kr <mailto:E-mail%3Ajssong@sejong.ac.kr> Website: http://jseungsong.weebly.com

November 2014 00:51:20 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) Networks (SOC-DIL) (Apologies for cross-posting) CALL FOR PAPER ---------------- IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) Networks (SOC-DIL) collocated with 2015 IEEE 81st Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2015-Spring Technically Sponsored by IEEE and NATO IST-118 Working Group - SOA Recommendations for Disadvantaged Grids in the Tactical Domain 11-14 May 2015, Glasgow, Scotland Service-oriented computing (SOC) has emerged in recent years as a promising approach to facilitating the interoperability of various, generally heterogeneous networking systems. After successful deployment in the Internet and broadband networks, the latest trend is to introduce SOC into Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) wireless/mobile networking environments, which are typical scenarios for rural area net-works, vehicular networks, battlefield networks and other resource-constrained or disadvantaged networks. Efficient and effective interoperability in these networks is highly demanded for various mission-critical ap-plication scenarios such as disaster relief in ravaged regions, search and rescue in remote areas and military/tactical operations in hostile environments. The workshop is therefore primarily concerned with latest re-search advances in improving the performance of SOC-based services and applications in DIL networks. We welcome papers concerned with all aspects of innovative design, implementation, deployment, evaluation and recommendation of SOC-based systems in DIL environments. In particular, the workshop solicits papers addressing the following topics: - Architecture, design, implementation and evaluation of SOC-based systems for DIL environments - Case studies involving DIL environments utilising SOC in various stages of development or use cases - Analysis, modelling and characterisation of DIL networks, and their impact on SOC-based services - SOC service composition, deployment, discovery and life cycle management in DIL environments such as vehicular networks, disaster relief, military tactical networks, emergency management - Adaptive, collaborative, location-aware, mission-critical and other smart applications in DIL environ-ments - Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) in DIL environments - Quality of Information (QoI) and Value of Information (VoI) in DIL environments - Security, mobility, network virtualisation, connectivity/routing, energy and medium access control solutions in DIL environments to enable improved SOC - Cross-layer optimisations in DIL environments for enhanced SOC performance - Emulation or simulation tools, and test beds for evaluating SOC interoperability in DIL environments - Standardisation and recommendations IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission by 17th December 2014 (FIRM DEADLINE) Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Spring 2015 conference proceedings and be included in IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] EXTENDED DEADLINE (December 7) - PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:06:19 +0100 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * * * EXTENDED DEADLINE: DECEMBER 7, 2014 * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website).

Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serve as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed.
