Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.

Currently, wireless communication informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require the exchange of kinematic information in distributed control algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio. serious injuries worldwide every year. Dependable wireless communications with short-latency, low outage probability over non-stationary vehicular communication channels is a challenging task. It involves a multi disciplinary effort including vehicular channel measurements, characterization and modeling; cooperative communications; and low-latency protocol design. A dependable wireless communication framework will be essential for vehicular ad-hoc networks, device-to-device communication links in future 5G systems, and cyber physical systems in general. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of dependable vehicular communication systems. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to dependable vehicular communications. The workshop will be co-located with IEEE ICC 2015, the International Conference on Communications (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), in London, UK. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Vehicular channel measurements - Channel characterization and modeling - Channel estimation algorithms - Cooperative communications for vehicular scenarios - Signal processing techniques - Protocols for cooperative communications - Integration of vehicular networks in 5G systems - Dependability aspects of channel access - Fault tolerant protocols and error recovery - System level simulation concepts - Key requirements (latency, reliability) and conformance tests for DVC - Performance bounds and optimization - Field tests of vehicular communications Organizing Committee: Thomas Zemen (FTW) Jerome Härri (EURECOM) Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien) Claude Oestges (UCL) Stefan Rührup (FTW) Christoph Sommer (Universität Paderborn) Erik Ström (Chalmers University) Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.)

This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets * Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)!

Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 13, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.

On Nov. 19th we are holding a workshop on testbed-based wireless research at KTH in Stockholm. Among technical presentations, there will also be so called "community meetings" for WARP and USRP, organized by repesentatives from Mango Communications and National Instruments. These meetings give you an opportunity to get to know the development roadmap ahead, while also allowing to discuss recent/novel initiatives etc. The workshop is free of charge but we ask for registration in advance: - Registration deadline for talks is Oct. 15th. - Registration deadline for attendance is Nov 1st. More details below ... Hope to see you in Sthlm, James ############################### European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden web:http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html Following up on the successful "scandinavian workshop on testbed based wireless research" of last year we are happy to announce the more ambitious first "European workshop on testbed based wireless research" which will also be held at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH. ### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to 1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams. To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community. For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to): - Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.) ### Registration ### For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st. Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg(a)ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] . ### Workshop Organization and Program Committee ### - Per Zetterberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - James Gross (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - Patrick Murphy (Mango Communications) - Leif Johansson (National Instruments) - Linda Doyle (Trinity College Dublin) - Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt) -- James Gross Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Osquldas Väg 10, SE-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46-8-7908819 Web: people.kth.se/~jamesgr/ -- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM HotMobile 2015: Last Call for Papers! Datum: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:41:29 -0400 Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Antwort an: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Hi everyone, If you have a hot idea on mobile systems, please consider submitting it to HotMobile 2015! The paper submission deadline is fast approaching. Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please email the PC chair at croy(a)illinois.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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. The goal of the SPIC workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results aimed at addressing all aspects of security and privacy for IoT and CPS. ----------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------------------- To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this field, the SPIC Workshop solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: - Security, Privacy, and Trust for IoT and CPS - Secure IoT and CPS architectures - Detecting and preventing attacks in IoT devices and CPS - Evaluation of Threats, Attacks, and Risks in IoT and cyber-physical devices - Data Security and Privacy in the IoT - Game Theory for IoT and CPS Security - Security and Privacy in IoT RFID, sensors, actuator technologies, applications and services - Security in Smart Grids and Smart Spaces - Network-distributed sensor processing for security solutions in CPS - Joint security and privacy aware protocol design - Test-bed and performance metrics of security solutions in CPS - Deployment and performance studies of secure CPS - Secure Network Control Systems for CPS applications - Architectures for secure hardware/software CPS ----------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ----------------------------------------------- The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.
