-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 [deadline: March 24] Datum: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:39:46 +0000 Von: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Venkat Padmanabhan <padmanab(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Physical Analytics @ ACM MobiSys 2014 (June 16, 2014) Despite the rapid rise in online activity, people lead much of their lives in the physical world. They travel to places, dwell at various locations, spend time with other people, shop, go to the gym, watch movies, and listen to music or are exposed to announcements, all of which is often based on what interests them. Therefore, there is much to be learnt about users from their physical actions and activities, which is often not manifested in their online activity. Such insights can be of benefit both to users directly and to businesses. While huge strides have been made in online analytics to extract a wealth of information from peoples’ online activities, corresponding work in the physical context — which we term as Physical Analytics — is relatively nascent and scattered. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to have a conversation on Physical Analytics, with a view to coalescing a research agenda for the community. Our intention is keep the scope broad — spanning devices, algorithms, systems, applications, and policy — yet have the discourse be focused on physical analytics. The workshop will include invited talks, a panel, and refereed papers, with as much time devoted to discussion as to the presentations themselves. NEW: Keynote speakers: Dina Katabi (Professor, MIT) and Anmol Madan (Co-Founder/CEO & Data Scientist, Ginger.io) The paper submission instructions are now online. For more information, please visit the workshop website at: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2014/workshops/physicalanalytics Program Co-Chairs: Deborah Estrin (Cornell Tech, USA) Venkat Padmanabhan (Microsoft Research, India) Important Dates: Submission deadline: March 24, 2014 [11:59 pm PDT] Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: April 27, 2014 Workshop date: June 16, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

They take up important roles in our society to meet societal and economic challenges of prime importance. The evolution of future complex engineered networking infrastructures will have to take into consideration the unprecedented size of the networks and the intricacies of network interdependencies. The increasing demand for complex engineered networking devices and services has made the physical and cyber world more entwined, and spurred the need towards evolution of new networks. For example, the Internet no longer just connects people but is evolving into an Internet of Things, and the power grids are transforming into Smart Grids through better monitoring and supervisory control networks. New complex engineered network services for disaster recovery management, large-scale monitoring and data analytics for environmental and health applications are also emerging. However, there is currently very little understanding in designing and controlling these complex engineered networks, and understanding their robustness, cyber-security, efficiency, network resilience etc. Furthermore, the costs for network operators can be critical to guide the design principles. The foregoing considerations highlight the urgent need for designing smart complex engineered networks. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to design of smart complex engineered networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Network science of complex engineered networks Cross-system interaction design for complex engineered networks Metrics, fundamental limits, and trade-offs involving complex engineered networks Complex network architectures and its evolution Dynamics of networks and behavior prediction that evolve over time Cyber-Security and enterprise networking Network interdependencies, coupling and decoupling, and coordination Network resilience, forensics, security, privacy and vulnerability Data analytics in complex engineered networks Large-scale cooperative networking for smart environments Smart network management and resource allocation techniques Network economics of complex engineered networks Test-bed, experimental results, and hardware prototypes Regulation and standardization Applications like Internet of Things, Smart Grid, disaster recovery, health and environmental monitoring and management Important Dates: Paper submission due: March 31, 2014 Acceptance notification: May 2, 2014 Camera-ready due: May 12, 2014 Workshop: August 7, 2014 Submissions and Publications: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approach- CFP:Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:55:15 -0700 Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call for Papers:* *Special issue on **Mobile Ubiquitous** Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint* *Scope:* The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing *Tentative Schedule* Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative).

In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. “CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency manage! ment, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations. Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cybersecurity challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS. Hence, papers that are pertinent to the security of embedded systems, Internet of Things, SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure Networks, Transportation Systems, Medical Devices are all welcome. Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to: - Secure CPS architectures - Authentication mechanisms for CPS - Access control for CPS - Key management in CPS - Data security and privacy for CPS - Forensics for CPS - Intrusion detection for CPS - Trusted-computing in CPS - Energy-efficient and secure CPS - Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS - Distributed secure solutions for CPS - Threat models for CPS - Physical layer security for CPS - Security on heterogeneous CPS - Secure protocol design in CPS - Vulnerability analysis of CPS - Anonymization in CPS - Security of CPS in automotive systems - Security of CPS in aerospace systems - Security of embedded systems - Security of CPS in medical devices/systems - Security of CPS in civil engineering systems/devices - Security of industrial control systems - Security of Internet-of-Things For more information, visit the workshop’s website at: http://www.cps-security.org ** Important Dates ** Submission Deadline: March 14, 2014 Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2014 Camera Ready: April 14, 2014 Workshop Date: May 28, 2014 ** Submission Instructions ** Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] due on June 1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series
by Lars Wolf 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] due on June 1: IEEE Comm. Mag.: Network Testing Series Datum: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 22:35:24 +0800 Von: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr. Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Due date for the next issue: June 1, 2014 IEEE Communications Magazine Call for Papers Network Testing Series The objective of the Network Testing Series of IEEE Communications Magazine is to provide a forum across the academia and the industry to address the design and implementation defects unveiled by network testing. In the industry, testing has been a mean to evaluate the design and implementation of a system. But in the academia, a more common practice is to evaluate a design by mathematical analysis or simulation without actual implementations. A less common practice is to evaluate a design by testing a partial implementation. That is, the academia focuses more deeply on algorithmic design evaluation while the industry has broader concerns on both algorithmic design issues and system implementation issues. Often an optimized algorithmic component could not guarantee the optimal operation of the whole system when other components throttle the overall performance. This series thus serves as a forum to bridge the gap, where the design or implementation defects found by either community could be referred by another community. The defects could be found in various dimensions of testing. The type of testing could be functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability and stability of the systems under test (SUT) in the lab or in the field. The SUT could be black-box without source code or binary code, grey-box with binary code or interface, or white-box with source code. For grey-box or white-box testing, profiling would help to identify and diagnose system bottlenecks. For black-box testing, benchmarking devices of the same class could reflect the state of the art. The SUT could range from link-layer systems such as Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, and xDSL, to mid-layer switches and routers, upper-layer systems such as VoIP, SIP signaling, multimedia, network security, and consumer devices such as handhelds. In summary, the Network Testing Series solicits articles falling in, but not limited to, the following topics: * Testing functionality, performance, conformance, interoperability, robustness, and stability * Testing systems and services of 10G Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, WLAN, WiMAX, 3G/4G cellular, LTE, xDSL, switches, routers, IPv6, VoIP, SIP signaling, storage area networks, network security, software defined networking, and consumer handhelds * Testing various layers of network devices including black-boxes, white-boxes, and grey-boxes * Benchmarking and profiling network systems and services * Network lab testing and field testing * Designing network test methodologies, test tools, and test beds * Evaluating false positive and negative of network security * Analyzing lab-found and customer-found defects Submission Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to contact the Series Editors before writing and submitting an article in order to ensure that the article will be appropriate for the Series. The submitted articles should not be published elsewhere or be under review for any other conference or journal. Articles should be tutorial yet rigorous in nature. Mathematical equations should not be used (although some simple equations may be allowed if permission is granted by the Series Editor and the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred) or MSWORD formatted papers to Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee), register or log in, and go to the Author Center. Follow the instructions there, and select the topic "Network Testing Series." Articles to be considered for publication in the March 2015 issue should be submitted by June 1, 2014. Since this is a regular series, papers can be submitted at any time for consideration for subsequent issues.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS 2014)
by Lars Wolf 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Claudio Righetti <claudio(a)DC.UBA.AR> Gesendet: 8. März 2014 07:42:09 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS 2014) ACM SIGCOMM Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS 2014) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/csws.php In conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2014 conference, on August 18, Chicago, USA. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2014/index.php Call for Papers Changing usage behavior, increasing demand for bandwidth as well as a continuous trend towards virtualizing networks and network functions raise questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently while maintaining the best possible Quality of Experience (QoE) for users. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. For example, the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In data centers, virtualization and high utilization promise economic benefits. However, effective, yet practical capacity sharing between tenants and applications is an important requirement. This has led to the development of enhancements in capacity sharing, especially congestion control mechanisms some of these mechanisms are domain-specific, others lend themselves to adoption or generalization for inter-connected networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of network and transport protocols in the Internet as well as data centers and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider the problem space over all layers.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks. Thus, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: 1. Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. 2. The creation of value-added services, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. The aim of this workshop is 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 theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M concepts: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M - Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications - Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Modeling and simulation of largescale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (10pt font, double column, US letter size [8.5 x 11 inches] in IEEE format).
