In order to achieve real time context awareness, data related to personal context needs to be sensed and used. This bears technical, and at the same time legal and psychological implications. The 1st Workshop on interdisciplinary advances in real time context awareness addresses researchers who focus on technical, legal, psychological aspects, and especially interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. The ubiquitous availability of sensors in mobile and personal devices (e.g. smartphones) enables the collection of personal situation specific user data. This data can be used for real time context aware applications. At the same time, legal and psychological issues emerge when processing personal user data. Therefore, we invite researchers in computer science and related disciplines to submit original work on advances and interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Real time context data processing, and forecasting * Security and privacy in real time context awareness * Legal implications and requirements of real time context aware systems * Psychological implications and requirements of real time context aware systems Important Dates: ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 26th, 2014 * Author Notification: November 8th, 2014 * Camera-Ready Submission: December 10th, 2014 * Workshop: March 13th, 2014 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication.

To accommodate various streaming data of IoT applications, LTE/LTE-A standards have defined several quality-of-service (QoS) classes for different traffic characteristics, in terms of traffic bit-rate, tolerable delay and packet loss rate. Moreover, to meet the stringent power-saving requirements for IoT devices, LTE/LTE-A standards also have defined the discontinuous reception/transmission (DRX/DTX) mechanism to allow devices to turn off their radio interfaces and go to sleep when no data need to be received or transmitted from/to the evolved Node B (eNB). Clearly, the convergence of IoT and 3GPP LTE network can considerably benefit both sides. IoT devices could efficiently transfer their data using LTE/LTE-A networks, while the LTE/LTE-A operators may develop more value-added IoT services. Despite such promising future, there are still many challenges for IoT over LTE/LTE-A network. This special issue aims to help both industry and academia research communities to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on the path towards the future of IoT over LTE/LTE-A. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Future IoT concepts, applications and services for LTE/LTE-A networks * Energy efficient IoT with LTE DRX/DTX fine tune * QoS provisioning and cross-layer design for Internet of Things over 4G cellular network * LTE Security and privacy enhancement for Internet of Things * Hierarchical LTE IoT architectures and eNB IoT Gateway * Novel traffic modeling and resource/mobility management for LTE/LTE-A IoT * Commercial model and case study of LTE/LTE-A IoT System * Data-centric, protocol-centric and technology-centric approaches for the design of IoT in LTE/LTE-A * Data fusion and aggregation for IoT over LTE/LTE-A * Novel pricing, billing and charging schemes for LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Successful testbeds and trials of LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Current and future standardization activities related to cellular IoT IMPORTANT DATES - Submissions Deadline: March 15, 2015 - First Reviews Due: June 15, 2015 - Revision Due: July 15, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2015 - Publication Date: October 20 SUBMISSION The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Internet of Things over LTE/LTE-A Network.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:32:17 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline: November 26, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop: March 27, 2015 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Petteri Nurmi, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, University of Helsinki, Finland TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Gergely Biczók, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Denzil Ferreira, University of Oulu, Finland Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Shin'ichi Konomi, The University of Tokyo, Japan Brent Lagesse, University of Washington at Bothell, USA Neal Lathia, University of Cambridge, UK Alan Marchiori, Bucknell University, USA Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Chiang Mai University, Thailand Christian Poellabauer, University of Notre Dame, USA Alicia Rodriguez-Carrion, University Carlos III of Madrid Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI)
by Lars Wolf 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Mirja Kühlewind" <mirja.kuehlewind(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Gesendet: 9. September 2014 06:21:45 GMT-10:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) 26-27 January 2015 – ETH Zürich, Switzerland The Internet’s transport layer has ossified, squeezed between narrow interfaces (from BSD sockets to pseudo-transport over HTTPS) and increasing in-network modification of traffic by middleboxes that make assumptions about the protocols running through them. This ossification makes it difficult to innovate in the transport layer, through the deployment of new protocols or the extension of existing ones. At the same time, emerging applications require functionality that existing protocols can provide only inefficiently, if at all. To begin to address this problem, the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), within the scope of its IP Stack Evolution Program, is organizing a workshop to discuss approaches to de-ossifying transport, especially with respect to interactions with middleboxes and new methods for implementing transport protocols. Recognizing that the end-to-end principle has long been compromised, we start with the fundamental question of matching paths through the Internet with certain characteristics to application and transport requirements. Which paths through the Internet are actually available to applications? Which transports can be used over these paths? How can applications cooperate with network elements to improve path establishment and discovery? Can common transport functionality and standardization help application developers to implement and deploy such approaches in today’s Internet? Could cooperative approaches give us a way to rebalance the Internet back toward its end-to-end roots? Topics For this workshop we would like to consider topics that speak to these questions, including the following: - Development and deployment of transport-like features in application- layer protocols - Methods for discovery of path characteristics and protocol availability along a path - Methods for middlebox detection and characterization of middlebox behavior and functionality - Methods for NAT and middlebox traversal in the establishment of end- to-end paths - Mechanisms for cooperative path-endpoint signaling, and lessons learned from existing approaches - Economic considerations and incentives for cooperation in middlebox deployment We will explicitly focus on approaches that are incrementally deployable within the present Internet. The outcome of the workshop will be architectural and engineering guidance on future work in the area, published as an IAB workshop report, based on discussion of proposed approaches; future work will be pursued within the IAB Stack Evolution Program. We will also explore possible areas for standardization, e.g. new protocols that separate signaling to and from on-path devices and common transport semantics from the rest of the transport protocol; and for general guidance, e.g. how transports as well as middleboxes can be designed and deployed to achieve these goals. Submission Instructions Attendance at the workshop is by invitation. Prospective participants are invited to submit short position papers outlining their views on one or more topics related to the scope of the workshop. Position papers will be published on the IAB website at: http://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/semi/. Submissions accepted at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semi2015 Submission Deadline: 31 October 2014 Notification Deadline: 17 November 2014 Workshop Dates: 26-27 January 2015 Sponsored by the Internet Architecture Board, the Internet Society, and ETH Zürich.

It is estimated that people will increase their need of mobility around 35% per decade for the next 3 decades. In this context, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) can be seen as new key enablers of the future networked society. Vehicles travelling acquire, as mobile sensors, a variety of information with increased capillarity in time and space. The vast information collected by vehicles can be used to enable a plurality of new services addressing safety, traffic management, smart navigation, in-vehicle remote control, pollution measurements, urban surveillance, environment monitoring, forensic investigations, and Internet access. Hence, VANETs represent a wide dynamic sensing opportunity. The acquisition, sharing, processing, and transmission of data from, to, and among vehicles foresee a new way to manage the communications: heterogeneity is inherent to devices, to data, and also to technologies. This opens new challenges whose complexity increases with the amount of connected vehicles. A typical challenge is how to make vehicles opportunistically cooperate, sharing resources and contents, how to optimize the transmission through operated networks or road side units (i.e., vehicle to infrastructure -V2I - communications), and how to obtain a real advantage from vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (such as, offloading of cellular networks, resource optimization, creation of new services). Other challenges derive from the jointly management and seamless integration of heterogeneous data flows, from frequent but small packets transmitted in V2V links, to huge multimedia flows shared and transmitted through the infrastructure. This special issue is seeking original contributions on VANETs, sharing the research efforts and deployment challenges in this field and discussing challenges, key enabling techniques, unprecedented approaches, and field trails. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -Enabling technologies for vehicles cooperation (IEEE 802.11p, LTE, Visible Light Communication, etc.) -Cooperative approach for V2I communication -Physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) techniques (OFDMA, CSMA, non orthogonal waveforms) for V2V and V2I communications -Design of advanced PHYs for the coexistence of heterogeneous data flows (high rate flows with several low rate flows) -Multi-modal heterogeneous networks and optimal management of resources -Distributed algorithms for data collection -Optimal retrieval of relevant data and optimal routing toward the final users -New ideas toward an efficient handling of huge number of devices with widely varying requirements (e.g., information-centric networking) -Example of ITS or Smart Cities applications relying on data collected by vehicles -Field trial experiments. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the following timetable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINE (manuscript due): 2014 October 15 ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE (acceptance notification): 2015 March 12 EXPECTED PUBLICATION DATE: 2nd Quarter 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors Barbara M.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Anyi Wang <wanganyi.way(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. September 2014 20:32:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers -- PAM 2015 PAM (Passive and Active Measurement) 2015 - Call for Papers IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Registration Due: Sept. 25, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Submission Deadline: Oct. 2, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Notification: Nov. 21, 2014 Camera Ready Due: Dec. 19, 2014 (11:59pm PDT) Conference: New York City, NY, March 19-20, 2015 GENERAL INFORMATION PAM seeks to bring together both the network research and operations communities to consider network measurement and analysis techniques, particularly those in the earlier stages of research. PAM has in the past focused on research and practical applications of network measurement at Layer-3. However, in the last 3 years PAM broadened its scope to encompass measurements of networked applications, content distribution networks, online social networks, overlay networks, and more. Measurement technology is needed at all layers of the stack: for power profiling of hardware components; at the MAC/network/transport layers; as well as up the stack for application profiling and even to collect user feedback. Measurement technologies are being designed for the digital home, residential access networks, wireless and mobile access, enterprise, ISP and data center networks. PAM continues to encourage a broad range of submissions across these recently important topics. We aim to understand the role that measurement techniques can play in networked environments and applications, across different layers, and how they can serve as critical building blocks for broader measurement needs. At the same time, PAM also continues with its original goal, to expand the techniques, tools and practical uses of network measurement technology. Original papers are invited, but not limited to, the following topics: * Passive and active measurement tools: techniques, design and experience. * Characterization studies of network usage, or end-host behavior. * Application-layer measurements: e.g., social networks or game performance. * Measurements of protocol behavior: e.g., DNS, DHCP, or routing protocols. * Network measurements for troubleshooting and anomaly detection. * Measurements related to network security and privacy. * Measurements of data centers, cloud services and content distribution. * Metrics and measurements of resilience and dependability. * Measurement of end-user performance and quality of experience. * Management and operation of distributed measurement infrastructures. * Techniques for measurements and measurement-based inference of macroscopic Internet structure, dynamics, and evolution. * Management and visualization of measurement data. * New measurement initiatives. * Measurement analysis techniques: e.g., traffic classification. * Modeling of network measurement. * Correlation of measurements across multiple layers, protocols or networks. * Internet-oriented wireless and mobility measurements. Although PAM traditionally attracts work that is at an early stage, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's ambit, and are particularly encouraged. Paper submissions are limited to 12 pages, see the conference website (link below) for more details about paper submission.

CfP: DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems
by Lars Wolf 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

<CALL FOR PAPER> *Call for Paper* DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems In conjuction with IEEE CloudCom 2014 http://2014.cloudcom.org/ *Abstract* Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud infrastructures and ecosystems according to specific compliance catalogues. Subjects of cloud audits are typically the quality of processes and services, the level of security and data protection as well as other standardised checklists. Examples such as the EuroCloud Star Audit are developed in reference to ISO 27001/27017 and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402 with a restructured approach for cloud service assessment. Other examples which are based on CCM, ISO27001-2013, AICPA Trust Principle (and others) are CSA STAR Certification (which is an evolution, cloud specific of ISO27001) and CSA STAR Attestation (based on SOC2 and CCM). These 2 examples of audits are part of the CSA Open Certification Framework. Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches, processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means getting the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting compliance rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical question from cloud customers nowadays: “Is the cloud service continuously operating compliant to local data protection laws?” The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, administration and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) requirements from standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down to technical means that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a highly dynamic cloud environment in a (half-)automated way. *Topics of interest* • Dynamic Certification • Dynamic Service Level Agreements • Cloud Certificates • Continuous / (Semi-)Automated Monitoring and Auditing • Metrics, Measures, and Methods for Dynamic Certification • Complex Event Processing • Data Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity • Certification Transparency • Data Aggregation • Data Analytics • Visualisation of Certification Results • Trust in Certificates *Important Dates* Paper submissions September 18nd, 2014 Notification September 25th, 2014 Camera-ready October 5th, 2014 *Organisers* • Helmut Krcmar, Technical University Munich • Michael Schermann, Technical University Munich • Mario Hoffmann, Fraunhofer AISEC • Ali Sunyaev, University of Cologne *Programme Committee* • Iryna Windhorst, Fraunhofer AISEC • Philipp Stephanow, Fraunhofer AISEC • Niels Fallenbeck, Fraunhofer AISEC • Andreas Weiß, EuroCloud • Bernd Becker, EuroCloud • Stephan Schneider, University of Cologne • Manuel Wiesche, Technical University Munich • Volker Wiedmer, Fujitsu • Joachim Lohmann, Fujitsu • Michael Diepold, AKDB *Submissions* This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FW: CFP: Special Issue on "Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems Datum: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:55:25 +0200 Von: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> Antwort an: Verikoukis Christos <cveri(a)CTTC.ES> 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 <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".

Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than static sensor networks. This promotes the emergence of a fast-growing consumer-centric sensing paradigm, the Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). As an evolution of participatory sensing, MCS has two unique features: (1) it involves both implicit and explicit participation; (2) MCS collects data from two user-participant data sources: mobile social networks and mobile sensing. Various categories of knowledge (e.g. location, personal and social context, user feelings/opinions, traffic conditions, and pollution) reported by smart device users, are shared w! ithin the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers, enabling a broad range of applications and services such as urban dynamic mining, public safety, and environment monitoring. Numerous research challenges arise from the MCS paradigm including participatory and opportunistic data collection, incentive mechanism design, transient networking, quality of user-contributed data, privacy concerns, and big data processing and analytics. This special issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In particular, we solicit high-quality original research papers on MCS, including but not limited to the following topics: - IoT Architecture/Framework for MCS - Optimized Data Collection Task Allocation - Communication in Transient Networking Environments - Crowdsourced Data Processing and Urban/Social Context Mining - Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing - Heterogeneous Crowdsourced Data Fusion - Dealing with Low Quality Data in MCS - Trust and Privacy Issues in MCS - MCS for Social Networking - Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence in MCS - Emerging/Novel MCS Apps and Systems (environment monitoring, public safety, traffic planning, etc.) IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- - Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2014 - First Reviews Due: February 1, 2015 - Revision Due: March 1, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Acceptance letters: April 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2015 - Publication Date: June, 2015 SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES ----------------------------------- The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on MCS for IoT. Solicited original submission 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.

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 chairs at croy(a)illinois.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents and improve safety, mitigate the impact of congestion, and overall provide a more comfortable experience. Towards this goal, the 2014 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Applications of vehicular networks, including ITS - Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications - Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications - Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.) - In-vehicle communications - Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.) - Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC / link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport, applications etc.) - Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks - Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks - Network and QoS management for vehicular networks - Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks - Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies - Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment - Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles - Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-application) - Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks IEEE VNC 2014 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster session to allow the authors to closely interact with, and obtain feedback from, the conference audience on new or on-going research contributions related to vehicular networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2014 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations related to vehicular networking, describing either mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries as well as universities. We espe! cially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. --------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------------------- All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically. Submission instructions will be provided at a later time. We will consider two different categories of papers: Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Poster/demo paper should be a 2-page paper following the VNC 2014 paper format (standard IEEE 2-column format and using 10-point font). All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either “Poster:” or “Demo:”. Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. A demo paper submission should include an overview of the demonstration set-up (the inclusion of photographs of the demonstrator are encouraged) and the results that will be showcased to the attendees. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, it will be downloaded by the demo co-chairs such that it can be hosted on our website to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will then also be advertised on the conference website. For all accepted demonstration proposals, the demo co-chairs will follow up with the authors to obtain requests for required equipment and/or facilities (power outlets, Internet connections, table dimensions, etc.). Demonstrations may be supported by a poster describing the general set-up of the demonstration, its background, and the! technical content to be demonstrated. The authors should inform the demo co-chairs if an accompanying poster will be presented. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Different from previous editions of VNC, we will not move papers between submission categories: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers or poster or demo papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. Posters/demo papers are also accepted (more info about submission guidelines at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference CD proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Please note that for every accepted papers, poster or demo paper, at least one person must register for the conference and present the poster or demo. --------------------------------- VENUE --------------------------------- IEEE VNC 2014 will take place at the Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum, the world's largest computer museum, located in Paderborn, Germany.
