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

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

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

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

We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, big data, distributed systems, cloud computing, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus, Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition in Zurich, Switzerland, ExtremeCom 2013 - The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region in Iceland, and ExtremeCom 2015 - The Galapagos Expedition in Ecuador, we present the ExtremeCom 2015 edition: The Savannah Expedition. The conference will start with 3 days of excursions in the amazing nature of the Kenyan savannah. Along the way, participants will get to see and experience the varying landscape and its plant and animal life. Additionally, we will visit existing deployments of networked systems in the area and learn from their experience. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such a harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. After the excursions, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. ****************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: May 21, 2015 Notification of acceptance: June 7, 2015 Early registration deadline: July 1, 2015 Registration deadline: July 15, 2015 Conference dates: August 3-7, 2015 (tentative dates) ****************************************************************** Submission Guidelines --------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited.

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. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 × 11 inches] in IEEE format). Submission of a paper implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2015 and published by IEEE. Papers must be submitted via EDAS. All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.
