Please email by June 15th, 2014 to ic2-2015(a)computer.org a brief description of the article you plan to submit to the special issue. Scope: As we equip people, places, and commodities with Internet-connected embedded devices that can sense information about the environment and subsequently take action, we will create the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT will improve society and quality of life, but making this vision a reality requires interdisciplinary efforts in a range of scientific domains. Specifically, enabling the design, implementation, validation, and real-world use of IoT software requires that we embrace diverse contributions in coherent and practical development frameworks, possibly based on current and future standards. This special issue seeks contributions about recent or ongoing research efforts, experience reports, and success stories in enabling an effective development of IoT software out of the individual building blocks available in different communities. Topics of interest include: - design and modeling approaches and methodologies for IoT software; - programming abstractions and languages expressly conceived for the IoT; - development techniques for IoT software appropriate for different hardware; - platforms, from tiny sensors to the enterprise level; - approaches for composing and interoperating existing IoT functionality; - cross-layer IoT software architectures; - standards for developing IoT software; and - real-world deployments and experiences in building IoT systems. Submission Guidelines: All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IEEE Internet Computing international readership: primarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with current topics.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: info(a)conf-icnc.org Gesendet: 11. Juni 2014 07:28:53 MESZ An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Betreff: ICNC 2015 CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS SPAN 2015 The Second International Workshop on Sensor, Peer-to-peer and SociAl Networks, ICNC 2015 In conjunction with The 2015 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC 2015), Anaheim, CA, USA, February 16-19, 2015 Workshop Date: Monday, February 16th, 2015 URL: http://www.conf-icnc.org/2015/ Workshop Paper Submission Link: http://edas.info/N18165 I. Workshop Scope SPAN 2015 aims to attract attention from the research community to the interplay of algorithmic tools and techniques in the collective fields of Sensor, P2P and Social Networks. Smart, wireless, networked sensors will soon be all around us, collectively processing vast amounts of previously unrecorded data to help run factories, optimize farming, monitor the weather and myriad other applications. It is clear that wireless sensor networks will become as important as the Internet, capable of routing application-specific data across a wireless mesh, ad hoc peer-to-peer network in which they organize themselves and assist each other in transmitting data. These advances made in the area of sensor networks will naturally have a profound impact on our understanding and operation of traditional Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems which are widely used in today's Internet. The confluence of ideas driving sensor and P2P systems is expected to be intensified by social networks. By attracting more than h alf a billion users worldwide, social networks provide a new venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research problems. In particular, as time evolves, P2P and future sensor network applications will necessarily need to involve social information to enhance the user�s experience. SPAN 2015, aptly named for its goal, is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers working on the intersection of Sensor, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Social Networks to present and discuss their latest research results and ideas, thereby promoting the development and SPANning the evolution of this combined body of knowledge. All submissions enabling cross-pollination of ideas on P2P, Sensor and Social Networks related to design, simulation, security, analysis and measurement are welcome. We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work in early stages. Topics revolve around the interplay of algorithms, tools and techniques applicable in sensor, p2p and social networks and include, but are not limited to: - Social network analysis techniques applied to P2P, Sensor and distributed computing systems - Socially informed Sensor/P2P infrastructures - Social Network-inspired systems and designs for P2P and Sensor - P2P and Sensor Network-based social networking architectures - Socially Aware Sensor/P2P Overlay architectures and topologies - Evolution of P2P and social communities and systems - Reputation, incentives, and economics in P2P/Sensor/Social systems - Mobile P2P and social networking systems - User behavior analysis and modeling in Social Networks and applications to P2P and Sensor networks - Decentralized Social Networks Applications - Graph theoretic analysis of Sensor, P2P and Social networks - Security, privacy and anonymity issues in SPAN - Policy enforcement, participation incentives, trust, and reputation - Cooperation, incentives, and fairness in SPAN. - P2P, sensor and social network economics Papers accepted for the SPAN 2015 workshop will be, after being presented onsite at the workshop, included in the proceedings to be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore and indexing by EI Compendex.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) - Co-located with IEEE MASS 2014
by Lars Wolf 10 Jun '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) - Co-located with IEEE MASS 2014 Datum: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:43:33 -0400 Von: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Marcelo Menezes de Carvalho <carvalho(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================================ Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, USA October 28 - 30, 2014 Co-located with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2014 http://mass2014.eecs.utk.edu/cartoon/index.html ================================================================================ Scope: The emergence of powerful handheld devices — coupled with the proliferation of cloud-based applications and an ever-increasing dominance of multimedia content in today’s Internet traffic — have ignited an unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic in recent years. Such a fact has posed significant challenges to mobile network operators, who are now pressed to maintain satisfactory quality of service under exponential traffic demands. To complicate matters, it has also become apparent that traditional approaches to expand network capacity may not suffice (e.g., new spectrum licenses and/or technology upgrades), and they can soon be outpaced by aforementioned traffic growth. Because of that, new ideas to cope with the so-called “data crunch problem” have been sought, and mobile data offloading has appeared as one of the most promising solutions: the routing of macrocellular traffic through alternative networks. Although mobile data offloading is generally th! ought in terms of WiFi hotspots or femtocell networks, recent developments in the arena of Opportunistic Networks — one of the most interesting evolutions of traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) — have paved the way for researchers from both cellular and MANET backgrounds to work together in the development of new network paradigms, architectures, and techniques that can leverage the potentials of both “worlds” to promote and enhance mobile data offloading. Motivated by this vision, we invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and the public sector to submit original contributions to the Workshop on CellulAR Traffic Offloading to Opportunistic Networks (CARTOON) 2014 in any of the following topics (but not limited to): + WiFi offloading + Hybrid operation in licensed/unlicensed spectrum + Authorized Shared Access / Licensed Shared Access + Incentive mechanisms for offloading to opportunistic networks + New architectures and paradigms for offloading using opportunistic networks + PHY and MAC-layer issues + Routing protocols for data offloading through opportunistic networks + Resource allocation and management + Game-theoretical studies for mobile data offloading + Multi-radio access technologies (RAT) co-existence and support for data offloading + Content and data dissemination, replication, and caching strategies + Mobility models + Data flow management and load balance + Machine-to-machine support in opportunistic networks + Internet of Things in opportunistic networks + Cooperative and non-cooperative approaches for mobile data offloading + Backhaul support for mobile data offloading with opportunistic networking + Network measurements and testbeds + Capacity sharing strategies + Traffic engineering and quality of service for mobile data offloading + Dynamic spectrum sharing and access for data offloading to opportunistic networks + Performance evaluation, simulation studies + Capacity studies and analytical modeling + Self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing mechanisms + Multimedia data offloading through opportunistic networks + Power saving mechanisms + Security, privacy, authentication issues Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31 Notification of Acceptance: August 14 Camera-ready papers: August 21 Workshop Chairs: - Luiz A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): deadline extension Datum: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:08:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi<chants14_publicity(a)iit.cnr.it> An: iscc(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* Due to numerous requests, we have decided to extend the CHANTS deadline by a few days. *** Please note that CHANTS welcomes submissions for both regular papers and demonstration papers. The full details are in the CFP below. *** ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ ******* DEADLINE EXTENSION ******* ******* Papers registration: June 11th ******* ******* Papers submission: June 15th ******* SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 1st KuVS Workshop on Anticipatory Networks Datum: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 20:50:01 +0000 Von: Valentin, Stefan (Stefan) <stefan.valentin(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> Antwort an: Valentin, Stefan (Stefan) <stefan.valentin(a)ALCATEL-LUCENT.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ============================ CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS ============================ === 1st KuVS Workshop on Anticipatory Networks === * September 29-30, 2014, Stuttgart, Germany * Submission: July 1, 2014 * Further information: <https://www.cs.uni-paderborn.de/index.php?id=38322> === Overview === Anticipation is a promising new approach for designing telecommunication net- works. By predicting and adapting to upcoming events an anticipatory network can highly improve operation quality and efficiency. Driven by the increasing cap- abilities of "smart" handsets as well as by the recent progress in machine learning and context-aware optimization, anticipatory adaptation receives more and more attention by researchers in industry and academia. While early results show the high potential of anticipation for specific scenarios, many theoretical and practical questions remain. This workshop aims to consolidate the view on Anticipatory Networks, to define promising research directions, and to connect researchers in the field. While current research has considered anticipation mostly in a wireless context, we encourage discussions about applications in other systems as well, e.g., data centers and backhauls. Researchers, scientists and engineers from industry and academia are cordially invited to present their work. === Topics === Suggested topics include but are not limited to: * Models, bounds, and techniques for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * Algorithms and protocols for anticipatory adaptation and optimization * System architectures for anticipatory networks, both conceptual and legacy integration * Methods for anticipatory adaptation and optimization, e.g., from machine learning, data mining, optimization, and signal processing * Methods and approaches for predicting channel characteristics, user mobility, user behavior, application demands, and traffic requirements * New uses of Smartphone sensors and network statistics for anticipation and adaptation * Use cases, practical examples, and experimental results for anticipatory net- working === Submission Guideline === Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract with a maximum of 3 pages in IEEE Conference Style, US Letter format. The abstract should be written in English and submitted as a PDF file to <kuvs-anticipatory(a)uni-paderborn.de>.

Wireless has quickly become the dominate last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today¡¦s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users are posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. The lack of adoption of Mobile IP and IPv6 mobility extensions and additional challenges posed by mobility have led to renewed interest in a clean-slate design that comprehensively addresses mobility, without existing architectural constraints. This requires addressing issues such as efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multi-homing, security and privacy, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, efficient multimedia content distribution, new cloud computing infrastructure with information centric networking, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, and related operational/deployment concerns.

Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel by mitigating the impact of congestion, reduce traffic incidents and thereby improve safety, and overall provide a more comfortable driving 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 within the area of vehicular networking technologies and their applications. 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. Consistent with the submission policy of this year’s VNC edition but different from previous editions, poster and demo submissions will be put into distinct submission categories and therefore papers will not be moved between different categories during the review process – i.e., full or short papers will not be “downgraded” to poster or demo papers. --------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------------------- All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed, and will be selected based on the novelty and technical quality of the works, as well as the expected interest to the VNC audience. Accepted poster and demo papers will be published in the conference proceeding (also available on IEEE Xplore) and will be advertised on the IEEE VNC 2014 website. The submitted poster or 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 for every accepted 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. The Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum is the world’s biggest computer museum as well as a lively event venue. The Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum is sponsored by the Stiftung Westfalen foundation set up by Heinz Nixdorf, which primarily promotes science and teaching, especially in the field of information technology. --------------------------------- Demo and Poster co-chairs: --------------------------------- Elisabeth Uhlemann (elisabeth.uhlemann(a)ieee.org) Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai (hsinmu(a)csie.ntu.edu.tw) More info at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] ACM CHANTS 2014 (co-located with ACM MobiCom): only a few days left for abstract registration Datum: Wed, 28 May 2014 15:59:55 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants14_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************************* [Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************************* ______________________________________________________________________ ACM CHANTS 2014 - 9th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2014 7 September 2014, Maui, Hawaii, USA www.acm-chants.org/14 Supported by the FP7 EU MOTO project http://www.fp7-moto.eu ______________________________________________________________________ ******* PAPER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JUNE 1st ******* SCOPE AND OVERVIEW __________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting, for example, findings in the area of social networking. The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions. This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos, in the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Network Coding in Challenged Networks - Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks - Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios (e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use (e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing, sensor networks) - Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Papers will be reviewed single blind. Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS _____________________ Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), in a special section on Challenged Networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] CFP: ACM/Springer MONET SI on Advances on Vehicular Communication Systems Datum: Tue, 20 May 2014 15:42:02 +0200 Von: Carlos Tavares Calafate <calafate(a)disca.upv.es> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr CALL FOR PAPERS ACM/Springer Mobile Networks & Applications (MONET) ISI/JCR indexed journal (2012 impact factor: 1.109) http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 SPECIAL ISSUE ON Advances on Vehicular Communication Systems OVERVIEW The joint efforts of academia and industry in the past years have led to the introduction of new on board applications and services. In addition, governments and standardization organizations have agreed upon a common set of standards (DSRC) specific to vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Combined with the cellular network infrastructure, they pave the way for a plethora of solutions empowered by vehicular communications. Among these solutions we have emergency alerts, autonomous vehicles, infotainment, comfort services, cooperative road sensing and collaborative applications. Also, the integration between smartphones and vehicles has been addressed by many researchers, with a wide range of applications already available, and many more being expected. In terms of communication systems, mobility effects and channel conditions heavily affect the signal quality, introducing path-loss, fading, and received power fluctuations. Under such conditions, several issues remain open including message dissemination in congested environments, Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and adaptive routing, MAC layer enhancements, mobility prediction, efficient handovers, etc. This special issue is seeking for high quality contributions, soliciting high level technical papers addressing the main research challenges in the vehicular networking area. The possible contributions should consist in original theoretical or practical analyses, never published elsewhere, and validated by simulations or real testbeds. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - Wireless vehicular networking - Congestion and admission control in dense vehicular networks - Content distribution in wireless vehicular environments - Smartphone/vehicle integration - Service oriented architectures, service portability, P2P - Cooperative sensing of road conditions - Network and system architectures for mobile vehicular computing - DSRC/WAVE communications. Alternatives to DSRC. - Network protocols and algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc. - Cross-layer protocol design - Statistical analysis, prediction and management of vehicular mobility - Multimedia communications in vehicular scenarios - Models, simulators and tools for vehicular environments IMPORTANT DATES: - Manuscript submission deadline: July 31, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: October 30, 2014 - Submission of final revised paper: January 10, 2015 - Publication of special issue (tentative): 3rd Quarter 2015 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format described at the journal site. Manuscripts should be submitted on-line through http://www.editorialmanager.com/mone/. A copy of the manuscript should also be emailed to the following email: calafate(a)disca.upv.es Authors need to register to submit their papers.

This advancement provides the opportunities to bridge the physical components/processes and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use computing (sensing, analyzing, predicting, understanding, etc.), communication (interaction, intervene, interface management, etc.) and control (inter-operate, evolve, evidence-based certification, etc.) to make intelligent and autonomous systems. Such systems are playing an increasingly prevalent and important role in this electronic era such as healthcare, manufacturing, civil infrastructure, aerospace, entertainment, transportation and many automated physical systems. Computing and networking are two major components of CPS and Cloud has infinite resources for both. Cloud-integrated CPS will not only enhance CPS itself but also process, analyze! and manage (CPS) big data efficien tly. However, there are many issues and hurdles of Cloud-integrated CPS that need discussions. Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present their research results in the area of Cloud-integrated Cyber-Physical Systems. The proposed workshop CloudCPS-2014 will serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government and industries to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future visions on these topics. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Cloud-CPS Architecture - Cloud-CPS Modeling and Simulation - Virtualization of Physical Components in Cloud-CPS - Design and Performance Optimization in Cloud-CPS - Cloud-assisted Situation-aware and decision support - Big-data Processing and Visualization in Cloud-CPS - Mobile Cloud-CPS - Game Theory for Cloud-CPS - Tools and Methods for Cloud-CPS - Sensor-actuator Networks - Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cloud-CPS - Intelligent (Road/Air) Transportation Cloud-CPS - Cloud-CPS in healthcare - Cloud-CPS in energy - Fog computing - Cloud-CPS: Tools, test beds and deployment issues - Opportunistic spectrum access for Cloud-CPS ***************************** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ***************************** The authors are advised to submit their research paper following the IEEE CS format: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page.
