GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespraech Inter-Vehicle Communication (FG-IVC), Ulm, Germany, March 19-20, 2015 (English version below) Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Kommendes Jahr findet unser Fachgespräch "Inter-Vehicle Communication" zum dritten Mal statt; nach Österreich und Luxembourg zum ersten Mal in Deutschland. Ausgerichtet wird es diesmal dankenswerterweise von/an der Uni Ulm. Wir würden uns sehr über zahlreiche Beteiligung freuen! Untenstehend habe ich unseren Call for Papers angefügt. Beste Grüße aus Paderborn, Christoph Sommer ********************************************************** Call for Papers: GI Fachgespräch IVC 2015 3rd GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication 2015 March 20-21, 2015 | Ulm, Germany More info: https://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/vs/fg-ivc-2015.html ********************************************************** --------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------- - Paper submission: February 13th, 2015 - Acceptance Notification: March 2nd, 2015 - Event: March 19th-20th, 2015 --------------------------------- SUBMISSION --------------------------------- - by e-mail to fg-ivc-2015(a)uni-ulm.de - papers will be published as *technical report* (copyright remains with the authors) - 2-4 pages in IEEE Conference Layout - as PDF ---------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE FACHGESPRAECH ---------------------------------------------------- More about previous editions: http://fg-ivc.car2x.org/ Inter-vehicle communication (IVC), the management and control of network connections among vehicles as well as between vehicles an existing network infrastructure, is a maturing research field that is currently gaining massive momentum. The investment of European automobile manufacturers and OEMs into this idea is not only expressed in successful efforts to reserve dedicated radio spectrum harmonized across Europe, but is also reflected in numerous research ventures in cooperation with academia. First standardization efforts across all layers, by both IEEE and ETSI, have already borne fruit, allowing researchers to gain valuable insights into both the strengths and the shortcomings of current approaches. A tremendous body of experience could be gathered in both national and international large scale field tests as well as in the domain of simulation and modeling. However, this knowledge is still fragmented, making it hard for new players to get into the game and affording even experienced groups only a restricted view on this complex field. --------------------------------- GOALS --------------------------------- We invite young researchers and their experienced colleagues to discuss new research directions and early results in the areas of inter-vehicle communication and automated vehicles. This third edition of the GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication will discuss vehicular communications in general, this year also inspired by new ideas in the context of automated vehicles. Automated driving has made several leaps forward in the past years, with the Google Car reaching a record of about 1.1 million autonomously driven kilometers and governments across the world starting the legislative process that will allow purchased autonomous vehicles to drive on normal roads. This significant progress led some to pose the question of the necessity of vehicular communication systems, considering the many privacy and security issues associated with them. Topics of interest for this edition include: * Communication protocol design and network management * Channel modeling, modulation and coding * Congestion control and scalability issues * Medium access control protocols * Multi-channel organization and operation * Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication * Vehicle-to-cyclist/Vehicle-to-pedestrian communication * Applications of vehicular networks * Simulation frameworks * Real-world testbeds * Autonomous driving * Cooperative driving * Security in automated vehicles * Traffic management for automated vehicles * Human interfaces for automated vehicles * Security issues and countermeasures * Misbehavior detection in vehicular and in-vehicle communication * Privacy in traffic applications * Electric vehicle applications Read more: https://www.uni-ulm.de/index.php?id=58309 Organizing Committee * Rens W. van der Heijden <http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/vs/staff/rens-van-der-heijden.html>, University of Ulm * Stefan Dietzel <http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/vs/staff/sd.html>, University of Ulm * Frank Kargl <http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/vs/staff/frank-kargl.html>, University of Ulm * Raphaël Frank <http://wwwen.uni.lu/snt/people/raphael_frank>, University of Luxembourg * Christoph Sommer <http://www.ccs-labs.org/~sommer/>, University of Paderborn Steering Committee * Falko Dressler * Raphaël Frank * Frank Kargl * Christoph Sommer -- Dr. Christoph Sommer Distributed Embedded Systems Group University of Paderborn, Germany http://www.ccs-labs.org/~sommer/

(http://www.issnip2015.org/) ===================== Call for paper ===================== Wireless sensor nodes are small devices that combine computing, sensing, and communication capabilities. 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special issue on eHealth in IEEE Systems Journal Datum: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 16:30:24 +0000 Von: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS <Special Issue on “Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems” in IEEE Systems Journal> SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients´ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the “Information for Authors” at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org. In the cover letter, authors should explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the “Special Issue on Communication Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems”.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which are the major contributors in this area, will fuel the realization of this new, globally interconnected cyber-world. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of IoT and CPS strongly depend on the security, privacy, and trust of the IoT and cyber-physical devices as well as the sensitive data being exchanged. While these technologies offer a lot of new possibilities, the increasing complexity of hardware and software as well as the worldwide access increase the vulnerability to security attacks Successful attacks targeted to IoT devices and CPS have in common that not only a single computer is affected, but also interconnected technical systems allowing interaction with the physical world are influenced, leading to malfunction of devices and control systems with severe financial, environmental, and health losses. This fact highlights the need to develop novel tools that will constitute the heart of a much-needed science of security for IoT & CPS.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT Datum: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:29:38 +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: December 1st 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. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of Cloud Computing for IoT. High-quality survey papers that review the cutting edge research in this field would also be considered. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: - Network architecture for cloud and IoT integration - IoT and cloud data management - Cloud computing for large-scale sensor data stream processing - Cloud-assisted machine to machine communication - Innovative applications of cloud-based sensing architecture, e.g., smart cities, smart grids, transportation - Protocol design and modification for cloud and IoT integration (e.g., CoAP, IPv6) - Data security, privacy and reliability for cloud and IoT integration - Cloud-assisted IoT mobility management and QoE/QoS enhancement - Cloud-assisted ubiquitous sensing services and applications Important Dates ========================= Submission Deadline: December 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: March 31st 2014 Revision Due: May 1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: June 20st 2015 Final Manuscript Due: July 20th 2015 Publication Date: August 2015 Submission ========================= The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Cloud Computing for IoT. Solicited original submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal. All manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: ACM TIST Special Issue on "Crowd in Intelligent Systems" Datum: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:34:48 +0800 Von: Sheng-Wei (Kuan-Ta) Chen <swc(a)IIS.SINICA.EDU.TW> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ------====== Call for Papers ======----- ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology Special Issue on Crowd in Intelligent Systems = AIMS AND SCOPE = Crowdsourcing, i.e., outsourcing tasks to an indefinite crowd, has now become a common strategy to resolve problems that are difficult to computers. It has proven the intelligence, wisdom, or judgments from the crowd, when appropriately combined, can be effective in addressing challenges in various areas, from knowledge organization (such as Wikipedia), business investment, policy making, government transparency to scientific development. In particular, the contributions from the crowd are stretching out the horizon of intelligent systems by filling the gap between artificial intelligence and human intelligence with the wisdom of crowd. Successful applications can readily been seen in the fields of computer-human interaction, computer vision, information retrieval, social computing, biomedical research (such as Foldit), and information and multimedia systems. The uses in crowdsourcing have opened up many new forms of intelligent systems and technologies most of which have barely been explored to date. However, challenging research questions still lie in the way to unleash the potentials of the crowd as a part of intelligent systems. This special issue aims to address these challenges in the hope of overcoming the obstacles blocking the road toward intelligent systems where artificial- and human-intelligence perfectly harmonize. The dimensions listed below indicate the range of work that is relevant to the special issue. Each article is expected to make a significant scientific contribution along one or more of these dimensions. In case of doubt about the relevance of your topic, please contact the special issue guest editors. = TOPIC DIMENSIONS = - General: Theoretical, experimental, and/or methodological developments advancing state-of-the-art knowledge of crowdsourcing for intelligent systems - Novel applications: Novel uses of contributions from the crowd for intelligent systems (e.g., complicated tasks rather than simple judgment or labeling tasks) - Evaluation: Evaluation of the design and quality of intelligent systems by the crowd - Machine learning: Effective learning and information aggregation from noisy crowd inputs; quality assurance and cheat detection for the crowd contributions - Human factors: Effective interfaces and workflow for the task workers, especially for complicated, compound tasks - Infrastructure: Programming languages, tools and platforms providing enhanced support for crowdsourcing; security, privacy, trust, and reputation management in crowdsourcing for intelligent systems - Economics and incentives: Enable effective and efficient crowd contributions that traditionally would only be possible by expensive domain experts - Ethics: Theory, design, or mechanisms that address ethical issues in adopting crowd’s efforts in intelligent systems. Possible ethical issues include education, labor exploitation, crowd awareness (of the tasks they perform), and alienation. - Inherent biases, limitations and trade-offs of combining crowd intelligence and artificial intelligence = SCHEDULE = Submission due:16 January 2015 First review completed:17 April 2015 Final manuscript due:19 June 2015 Publication: September 2015 = HOW TO SUBMIT = Please see the instructions for authors on the ACM TIST website (tist.acm.org <http://tist.acm.org>) and the special issue CfP website http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~swc/tist_crowd/ The papers will be evaluated for their originality, contribution significance, soundness, clarity, and overall quality.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 14:28:58 +0100 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Submission Deadline: November 26, 2014 March 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). 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. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Thai <mythai(a)CISE.UFL.EDU> Antwort an: My T. Thai <mythai(a)CISE.UFL.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) April, 27, Hong Kong, 2015 (in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2015 - April, 26 - May,1 , Hong Kong) *http://optnetsci.cise.ufl.edu/widn2015/ <http://optnetsci.cise.ufl.edu/widn2015/>* ============================================================ SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------------------------- Modern networked systems, in particular, networked physical infrastructures, are inter-dependent in such a way that changing in one network may have a profound impact on other systems. One notable example of such interdependent networked system is the smart-grid, of which the power stations depend on communication networks for control and management and vice versa, the communication networks depend on the power systems for their electricity supports. Furthermore, the rapid adoption and pervasiveness of computing, and emergence of smart cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) have created new capabilities for autonomy, interoperability, interaction and cooperation between many critical computing, communication and control networks (“cyber systems”) and physical infrastructures and “smart” environments (“physical systems”). Unfortunately, the connections with cyberspace also open to new surfaces of vulnerabilities and new threat vectors. The challenge is to understand the interdependencies of these systems and how the dynamics are cascaded between them so as to design and develop “smarter” and more resilient inter-dependent networked (cyber-physical) systems. The objective of this workshop is to advance and promote theoretical foundations for understanding the behaviors of and inter-dependencies in modern networked systems -- especially, in critical (networked) physical infrastructure systems -- and emerging cyber-physical systems. It also seeks to explore new system architectures and innovative mechanisms for the design and development of robust and resilient interdependent networked systems. This workshop will foster an interdisciplinary research community that discovers new knowledge for the design and operation of national critical networked infrastructures as processes and services. LIST OF TOPICS The Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) welcomes contributions that are mainly involved, but not limited to the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics, relevant to its broader scope: - Understand and design of interdependent critical infrastructures - Vulnerability and resilience of interdependent networks - Cascading failures in interdependent networks - Multiplex and multi-layered networks - Network representations - Complexity and approximation of interdependent networks optimization and control techniques - Theoretical frameworks and multidisciplinary computational models of interdependent networks - Analytical prediction of complex behaviors - Cyber-physical systems IMPORTANT DATES - Full Paper Submission Deadline: *December 14, 2014* - Review Deadline: January 24, 2015 - Author Notification: February 7, 2015 - Camera-ready paper due: February 27, 2015 - Workshop Date: April 27, 2015 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------ We call for original and unpublished papers with no longer than 6 pages. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Submission via EDAS (WIDN 2015) https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=18921 Selected papers will be published in a special issue of Computational Social Networks journal and Journal of Combinatorial Optimization.
