In such environment, attributing the power consumed by the hardware to specific VEs becomes much more difficult than in networking architectures where the same functionalities are performed by dedicated equipment (e.g., routers or L2 switches). The strong integration between the mobile and fixed network segment, already present in 5G and further strengthened in 6G is going to increase the volume of traffic and applications’ heterogeneity, along with the number of users, making network energy efficiency a full-fledged Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to be coped with. The aim of the Workshop is to explore some of the issues that this evolution poses on finding suitable traffic and power models, as well as management and control strategies, along with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to be used for the lifecycle management and optimization of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and the creation and dynamic reconfiguration of network slices, to match as closely as possible the desired balance between sustainability in terms of energy efficiency and performance. We solicit original papers on the following (and related) topics Analytical models of network power consumption Traffic modelling for performance and power representation Management and control mechanisms for the dynamic optimization of the trade-off between power and performance AI/ML techniques for power and performance management in virtualized environments AI/ML in network softwarization for slicing energy efficiency, fog/cloud MEC virtualization, self-x technologies, adaptation, automation, and zero-touch APIs for power management interfaces Architectural solutions toward network sustainability Power-aware network slicing Wired and wireless energy efficiency Energy-saving internet protocols Energy efficiency in the fog/MEC/cloud continuum Energy efficient internetworking of mobile backhaul/core and remote data centers Energy efficient 3D networks Authors are invited to submit original contributions (written in English) in PDF format.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Issue: Collaborative Sensing, Mapping and Driving, IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology Datum: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 18:07:17 -0800 Von: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> Antwort an: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We sincerely invite you to submit work to IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology special issue on Collaborative Sensing, Mapping and Driving. Manuscript submission: 1 March 2022 First review notifications: 15 April 2022 Revised manuscript due: 15 May 2022 Final editorial decisions: 1 June 2022 Final manuscript due: 15 June 2022 Publication date: 3rd Quarter 2022 Call for Papers: *Scope* Connected vehicles and automated vehicles represent different approaches to improve vehicle safety on the road. The former leverages wireless communication technologies to enhance mutual awareness among traffic participants. The latter ramps up individual vehicles’ capability of perception and control to achieve better decision making in the complex driving environment. On the surface, the two technologies seem complementary. Information shared by different traffic entities can be added to a vehicle’s dynamic map, extending its perception horizon, and uncovering None-Line-Of-Sight situations which otherwise would not be available via its own onboard sensors. In return, the vehicle can send what it observes through onboard sensors, which might help recipients avoid previously unaware safety hazard. Furthermore, as reported in the state-of-art research, individual vehicles may navigate themselves more efficiently with global information gathered from others on the same road, generating improved driving safety and efficiency. However, the aforementioned complementary natures of vehicle connectivity and automation do not assure the completed integration of these technologies into vehicles and their interactions. There are questions about the cost, benefits, timeline, performance, hardware/software requirement and interface design of such an integrated system. Many of these questions are nontrivial to answer as it needs joint efforts from numerous technology areas. Fortunately, many scholars and research groups have started to explore these questions, paving the road for a cohesive integration of vehicle connectivity with vehicle automation system. This special issue focuses on the most recent advancements in modeling, wireless communications, vehicle perception, mapping and localization technologies, which can improve the collaboration among individual automated, human-driven, or autonomous vehicles and enable novel vehicular cooperative applications. The goal is to bring together state-of-art efforts in this interdisciplinary domain that analyzes and addresses the challenges in enabling *C*ollaborative *S*ensing, *M*apping and *D*riving (CSMD). *Topics of Interests* 1) V2X (e.g., DSRC, LTE V2X, 5G NR V2X), V2N and V2C protocol design, optimization, testing and evaluation for CSMD 2) Standards related to CSMD, including V2X, V2N and V2C communication, semantics & ontologies, and IoT. 3) Wireless infrastructure (e.g, Edge Computing) development for CSMD 4) Innovative incentives for fair, safe & secure collaborative strategies for CSMD 5) Infrastructure development 6) Data-driven and AI-enabled mechanisms for CSMD 7) CSMD modeling, simulation/validation platform & data sets 8) CSMD oriented use cases development, including report on international and trans-border initiatives for CSMD. 9) High-fidelity connected vehicle collaboration in perception, localization/mapping, tele-monitoring/operation and driving assistance 10) Real-time collaborative ADAS system modeling and implementation 11) Field deployment of CSMD 12) V2X, V2N and V2C enabled collaborative mobility services *Manuscript Submission Guidelines* Manuscripts must follow the author instructions available at: https://vtsociety.org/ojvt-author-instructions/.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approaching: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics -- Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems
by Lars Wolf 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Alessandro Brighente <brighent(a)DEI.UNIPD.IT> Gesendet: 21. Januar 2022 10:57:53 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline approaching: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics -- Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) *Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics* *Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems* Theme: The rapid evolution of technology has radically changed our everyday lives from multiple points of view. Among the others, transportation systems are nowadays populated by smart and interconnected vehicles that need to communicate with each other and with critical infrastructures to orchestrate traffic and mobility. Transportation systems are hence operated through multiple technologies that need to cooperate to provide efficient delivery of goods and human mobility, as well as to provide security in the overall networks. The latter task is complicated by the fact that vehicles autonomously drive and cooperate in the network without human intervention. The overall transportation network can be therefore represented by a cyber-physical system, where a large number of sensors, actuators, and multiple technologies are connected and exchange information. To guarantee the overall network security, attack detection and the design of suitable countermeasures play a fundamental role. The security of cyber-physical systems has been widely studied in literature. However, most of the proposed solutions target either the cyber or the physical threats, without providing a unified view able to detect and mitigate more complicated attacks. The purpose of this special issue is therefore to collect the latest research achievements in the cyber-physical threats and countermeasures in autonomous transportation systems. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Methods for detection of cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Design of countermeasures for cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Hardware solutions for mitigating the attacks on controller area networks of automotive - Protocol and semantics agnostic security solutions to automotive CPS - Formal modeling of cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Privacy preserving solutions for cyber-physical transportation systems - Cyber-physical threats in platoons/swarms - Scalability of the security solutions in autonomous transportation systems - Blockchain solutions against cyber-physical threats in autonomous transportation systems - Security testing of vulnerabilities in automotive CPS *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieeeies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics <https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieeeie…> . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through ManuscriptCentral web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii <https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmc.manusc…> . On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal.

Smartphones and IoT devices are widespread in our cities, creating a hyper-connected society. Groups of autonomous vehicles, even flying ones, can perform actions and provide services and applications in several application fields, such as environment, agriculture, disaster management and recovery, smart cities, smart transportation and entertainment. Intelligent vehicles provide new smart environments (cities, harbours, factories, offices, homes, etc.) with the additional features given by their actuation capabilities, which aim at improving, at the same time, the performance of a specific mission as well as the performance of the underlying communication network. The three different contexts: land, water and sky, as well as the integrated contexts, have already gained momentum showing the opportunities to provide benefits to our whole society. However, to fully exploit this potential, we first have to address numerous research issues, to design and develop reliable, green, affordable and efficient networking and applications. This track focuses on the open research challenges and their practical solutions, as well as on the standardization activities and the applications and products already existing.

High mobility results in rapidly time-varying channels, which pose significant challenges in the design of practical systems, including channel modeling, fast handover, location management, synchronization, estimation and equalization, anti-Doppler spread techniques, coding and network capacity, capacity-approaching techniques, dedicated network architectures, distributed antenna techniques etc. In addition, with the development of vehicular networks, more rigorous performance requirements (e.g., ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability) are also required for advanced driving applications such as platooning, full automated driving, collective perception of environment and so on, which makes the research and development of wireless systems more challenging. Accordingly, the 11th international workshop on High Mobility Wireless Communications (HMWC) aims at fostering fruitful interactions among interested communication engineers, information theorists and system designers from all over the world, building successful collaborations and bridging the gap between theory and practice. Its topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theoretical performance (e.g., data rate, delay, reliability, etc.) limits for HMWC systems Rapidly time-varying channel modeling, estimation and equalization Fast synchronization Doppler shift estimation & compensation Doppler diversity and anti-Doppler techniques Efficient modulation and detection techniques employed in high speed vehicles Fast power control Fast handover and group handover Fast location update Highly dynamic radio resource optimization Coding and network capacity for HMWC systems Interference utilization and capacity approaching techniques Multiple access schemes and ultra-low latency protocols for HMWC systems Ultra-high reliability routing protocols for HMWC systems Relay, distributive multi-antenna and cooperative techniques for HMWC systems High-speed vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) radio systems Communication, Caching and Computation convergence for HMWC systems Ultra-reliable and low-latency network architectures for high speed environments 5G-based solutions for HMWC systems Machine learning for HMWC systems Big data based analysis and optimization for HMWC systems Channel measurement based performance evaluation Technical Program Committee: Giuseppe Araniti, University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy Baoming Bai, Xidian University, China Wen Chen, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Massimo Condoluci, Ericsson Research, Sweden Benot Denis, CEA, France Pingyi Fan, Tsinghua University, China Shibo He, Zhejiang University, China Jinling Hu, China Information Communication Technologies Group Corporation (CICT), China, Adlen Ksentini, EURECOM, France Chengchao Liang, Carleton University, Canada Hongbin Liang, Southwest Jiaotong University, China Gang Liu, Southwest Jiaotong University, China Xiao Ma, Sun Yatsun University, China Zhijin Qin, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK Christian Schneider, TU Ilmenau, Germany Yan Shi, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Daxin Tian, Beihang University, China Wei Wang, Zhejiang University, C! hina Henk Wymeersch, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Bo Yang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Lei Yang, The University of Nevada, Reno, USA Zhaoyang Zhang, Zhejiang University, China Zhengquan Zhang, Southwest Jiaotong University, China Kan Zheng, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Important Dates: Workshop paper submission: 22 February 2022 Acceptance notification: 17 April 2022 Final paper submission: 1 May 2022 Paper Submission： All manuscripts should be converted to PDF format and uploaded to the Trackchair system before submission deadline via: https://vtc2022s-rr-wks.trackchair.com/track/2049.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP – IEEE WoWMoM Workshop 2022 | NTN-6G Datum: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 08:16:05 +0100 Von: Sara Pizzi <sara.pizzi(a)UNIRC.IT> Antwort an: Sara Pizzi <sara.pizzi(a)UNIRC.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ****************************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE WoWMoM Workshop 2022 NTN-6G: Non-Terrestrial Networks in 6G Wireless http://ntn-6g.unirc.it/ <http://ntn-6g.unirc.it/> ****************************************************************************************************************** Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) is growing in importance owing to its capability to deliver the novel unmanned and autonomous applications of next-to-come sixth-generation (6G) networks anywhere and anytime and also provide coverage in areas that are unreachable by any conventional Terrestrial Network (TN). Spaceborne (i.e., GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites) or airborne (i.e., Unmanned Aircraft Systems or UASs and High Altitude Platforms or HAPs) vehicles constituting the NTN may act either as a relay node or as a base station and can be leveraged to complement TNs. Compared to terrestrial wireless networks, NTNs have many distinctive features, such as specific channel models, highly dynamic network topologies, and weakly connected communication links. As a consequence, solutions tailored to terrestrial networks cannot be directly applied to NTNs. Hence, new techniques suitable for NTNs need to be developed. Furthermore, various satellite systems on different orbits remain isolated ‘islands’, and they are also disconnected from the ground networks. Therefore, integrating all existing networks in air, space, and on ground into a unified system will be essential for 6G. The purpose of the NTN-6G Workshop is to provide a platform for the discussion of the major research challenges, latest developments and recent advances in Non-Terrestrial Networks in 6G Wireless Networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Smart Radio Resource Management Techniques for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Broadcast/Multicast services over Non-Terrestrial Networks; - SDN and NFV solutions for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Device and network virtualization in Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Edge, Fog, and Cloud computing architectures for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Security, privacy, and trust management in Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning-based approaches in Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Above 6 GHz: millimeter-wave, Terahertz-band, optical wireless communication for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Interference issues in Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Channel models for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Multi-antennas technologies for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Network Management & Control Issues for Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Standardization and evolution of Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Novel IoT application and use-cases enabled by Non-Terrestrial Networks; - Experimental testbeds and measurements of Non-Terrestrial Networks. ****************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2022 Author Notification: April 10, 2022 Camera-ready submission: April 21, 2022 Workshop date: June 14, 2022 ****************************************************************************************************************** MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION INFORMATION Submissions may be up to 6 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater.

In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, and ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range low power radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, NB-IoT, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. *** Call for Papers *** The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - protocol design - hardware platform design - modeling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming) - wake-up radios for short- or/and long-range technologies - radio resource management - satellite IoT solutions - applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) - anomaly detection - security solutions - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned - evaluation and testbeds - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. *** Submission Instructions *** Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX. The submission Website is available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=newnets2022. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE as part of the CPS-IoT Week 2022 proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work in a plenary session as part of the main workshop program. *** Important Dates *** Paper submission: February 7, 2022 (AoE) Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2022 Camera-ready: March 7, 2022 Workshop date: May 3, 2022 *** Workshop Organizers *** - Anca Hangan, (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania) - Oana Iova (INSA, Lyon, France) - Ramona Marfievici (Digital Catapult,UK) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
