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 We are therefore seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in the smart objects arena.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. Full papers must be no longer than 6 pages, poster and demonstration papers are limited to 2 pages; they will all appear in the proceedings.

To ignite discussions, we see two (rather obvious) topics, that we think are important and interesting: 1) considering all the public personal data by all sorts of people, we wonder how good */inference attacks/* can actually get, even on people who don't publish (a lot of) information about themselves - directly related of course is the question, if we can find new */privacy metrics,/* and - if there are ways to encounter such attacks, without diminishing the utility for the users (too much). And 2) on a related note we want to further explore ideas towards */privacy-preserving recommenders/*. We will organize this event as a "traditional" scientific workshop soliciting submissions, which will be reviewed and subsequently published, to make it easier for the academic audiences to convince their funding entity of its importance ;-) - but we really mainly want to engage in discussions, may be fostering some future collaborations, as well. I'm attaching the usual Call for Papers - and I hope, of course, that we will receive some interesting submissions (to make the official part interesting - so help in advertising is appreciated). We will accept both novel scientific contributions, but also datasets and replication studies. But most importantly, we hope to attract a broad audience of interested participants from different professional backgrounds, to facilitate great discussions! Thanks a lot!

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] [CFP Elsevier Computer Networks]: Special Issue on “Mobile Wireless Networks” Datum: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 17:33:03 +0000 Von: Ivan.Ganchev <Ivan.Ganchev(a)ul.ie> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi <cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> 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.

No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance targets. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- • Communication protocols with deterministic performance • Network resilience, fault tolerance, network survivability • Sensor data quality, integrity, and availability • Performance-aware middleware • Real-time operating systems for sensor networks • Actuation and control • Programming abstractions for deterministic sensor networks • Impact of security features on network performance • Experience with real-world deployments and applications • Performance management of deployed sensor networks • Timely data storage, retrieval, and processing • Performance modelling and performance evaluation • Configuration and installation support • Performance debugging and performance optimization Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Eduardo Freire Nakamura, Federal University of Amazonas, Brazil Jorge Sa Silva, University of Coimbra, Portugal Vasos Vassiliou, University of Cyprus Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

CHANTS 2015 - ACM MobiCom 2015 Workshop on Challenged Networks: Preliminary CFP
by Andreea Hossmann-Picu 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

[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. PAPER SUBMISSION ================= Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

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.

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.

Also, water systems in general are of vital importance to life on Earth and commerce. For these reasons, there is significant interest in monitoring aquatic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, and military purposes. WUWNet is the premier venue for research and development bringing real-time, in-situ sensing and actuation to this aquatic world. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas relevant to underwater networks and systems. Thus, many aspects of the networking protocol stack - from the physical layer to the application layer and the various system issues - will be represented at this conference. The objective is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research and development, for exchanging ideas and experiences, and for facilitating interactions and collaborations. The conference will span three days, including presentations of keynote speeches, plenary talks, technical papers, and posters/demos. The scope of the WUWNet conference covers a broad range of research directions relevant to underwater networks and network-related signal processing, communications, systems and robotics, and their applications. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Underwater network and system architectures * Efficient underwater communications (including acoustic, optical, RF, and wired, etc.), with techniques from the physical layer to the application layer * Underwater acoustic modeling and signal processing * Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data transfer, etc. * Networked underwater robotics and systems, such as localization, navigation, security, communication & coordination, or human operator interaction. * Coordinated energy harvesting systems and power systems for underwater networks and systems * Energy-efficient algorithms, and protocol design for underwater networks, as well as signal/image processing and communication systems * Operating system and middleware support for underwater networks and systems * Applications that broadly address underwater networks and systems, including coordinated underwater vehicles * Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems and platforms * Experimental results from underwater networking, signal/image processing and communications field trials * Application requirements for underwater networks, signal/image processing and communication systems presented by end users SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------------------------------------- Submissions for technical papers must describe original research, not published or currently under review for other workshops, conferences, journals, or magazines.
