-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Internet of Things Journal, SI on Cloud Computing for IoT (Deadline Extended to 8 Dec 2014) Datum: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 13:14:10 +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 Extended to: December 8th 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.

More specifically, the Internet of Things aims at offering new applications and services bridging the physical and virtual worlds, in which Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications represents the baseline communication that enables the interactions between Things and applications in the cloud. The Internet of Things allows for the pervasive interaction with/between smart things leading to an effective integration of information into the digital world. These smart (mobile) things - which are instrumented with sensing, actuation, and interaction capabilities - have the means to exchange information and influence real-world entities and other actors of such a digital world eco-system in real time, forming a smart pervasive computing environment. The objective is to achieve global access to the services and information through the so-called Web of Things, as well as efficient support for global communications. The first generation of IoT/M2M standards (from IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, IETF, oneM2M, etc.) is sufficiently mature to enable large-scale operational deployments. Connectivity, vertical data models, RESTful APIs and device lifecycle management are concrete examples of these foundation standards representing the basis of current deployments such as eHealth, automotive, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and smart cities. As the IoT deployment pace accelerates, a next generation of standards is needed to realize the full IoT/M2M vision. This feature topic seeks both mature and early research on candidate standards that will transfer to standards organizations such as oneM2M, IETF, 3GPP, IEEE, HGI, BBF, etc. Submitted papers in this feature topic are expected to focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of IoT/M2M from academics and industry viewpoints. The aim of this special issue is thus to offer a venue where researchers from both academia and industry can publish premier articles on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of IoT/M2M standards concepts. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following areas of standards research: * Lightweight protocols and structured data such as Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for the IoT * Interworking with other technologies and systems such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing * Advanced indexing, naming, and addressing of the IoT * Optimization and enhancement of the currently standardized IoT architectures * Novel concepts for sensors and actuators such as crowd-sourcing * Abstraction and Semantics technologies for devices and services * Experiences and field trials of IoT applications: Smart cities, digital * IoT/M2M Management: Device management evolutions, Autonomous management, Conflict management, service harmonization * Next generation of open platforms and hardware for the IoT * Security, Trust, Privacy and Identity in the IoT Manuscript Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6, and mathematical equations should be avoided. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. Complete guidelines can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central web site (at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the submission deadline. Submit articles to the category “August 2015/IoT M2M Standards Research” Submission Schedule * Manuscript Submission: 15-January-2015 * Notification of acceptance: 01-April-2015 * Final Manuscript Due: 01-June-2015 * Publication: August 2015 Guest Editors Omar Elloumi Alcatel-Lucent, France Email: omar.elloumi(a)alcatel-lucent.com <mailto:omar.elloumi@alcatel-lucent.com> JaeSeung Song Sejong University, South Korea Email: jssong(a)sejong.ac.kr <mailto:jssong@sejong.ac.kr> Yacine Ghamri-Doudane University of la Rochelle, France Email: yacine.ghamri(a)univ-lr.fr <mailto:yacine.ghamri@univ-lr.fr> Victor Leung University of British Columbia Email: vleung(a)ece.ubc.ca <mailto:vleung@ece.ubc.ca> -- JaeSeung Song, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Computer and Information Security, Sejong University Tel: +82-2-3408-2901 Mobile: +82-10-7355-2783 E-mail:jssong@sejong.ac.kr <mailto:E-mail%3Ajssong@sejong.ac.kr> Website: http://jseungsong.weebly.com

November 2014 00:51:20 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) Networks (SOC-DIL) (Apologies for cross-posting) CALL FOR PAPER ---------------- IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing in Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) Networks (SOC-DIL) collocated with 2015 IEEE 81st Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2015-Spring Technically Sponsored by IEEE and NATO IST-118 Working Group - SOA Recommendations for Disadvantaged Grids in the Tactical Domain 11-14 May 2015, Glasgow, Scotland Service-oriented computing (SOC) has emerged in recent years as a promising approach to facilitating the interoperability of various, generally heterogeneous networking systems. After successful deployment in the Internet and broadband networks, the latest trend is to introduce SOC into Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) wireless/mobile networking environments, which are typical scenarios for rural area net-works, vehicular networks, battlefield networks and other resource-constrained or disadvantaged networks. Efficient and effective interoperability in these networks is highly demanded for various mission-critical ap-plication scenarios such as disaster relief in ravaged regions, search and rescue in remote areas and military/tactical operations in hostile environments.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] EXTENDED DEADLINE (December 7) - PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:06:19 +0100 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * * * EXTENDED DEADLINE: DECEMBER 7, 2014 * * * * * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 - EXTENDED DEADLINE: December 7, 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

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Frank Dürr" <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Gesendet: 25. November 2014 18:59:21 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) -- DEADLINE EXTENDED to Dec. 7th, 2014 Please note that the deadline of PerEnergy has been extended to December 7th, 2014! ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Extended submission deadline: December 7, 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 --------------- - Extended submissions deadline: December 7, 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.

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”.
