-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Pervasive 2021 - Special Issue on the Future of Work: COVID-19 and Beyond Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 20:52:11 -0500 Von: IEEE Pervasive <ieee.pervasive.outreach(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: IEEE Pervasive <ieee.pervasive.outreach(a)gmail.com> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apology for cross-posting] Call for Papers: Special Issue on the Future of Work: COVID-19 and Beyond Andrew L. Kun, Shamsi Iqbal, Microsoft Research, Orit Shaer Title and abstracts due: 15 February 2021 (email pvc4-2021(a)computer.org) Full manuscripts due: 1 March 2021 (via https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pc-cs.) Publication: October-December 2021 Advances in pervasive computing are rapidly changing the way we work. Pervasive computing can improve the way workers connect into productive teams; it vastly improves the ability of organizations to collect and process data; and it provides new tools for using data in feedback loops that affect the physical or virtual world, both as personalized, small-scale interventions and as broad, large-scale actions. These changes are accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis. This crisis resulted in a sudden and dramatic change in how we work. For many of us, the well-known mainstays of work—the eight-hour workday, the office building, the morning commute, the salient boundaries between work and personal life, in-person conversations with coworkers, and sending children to school or daycare—are gone or drastically different than they were before. Even worse, millions of workers lost their jobs, and their prospects of future employment are uncertain. The issues of inequality and racial injustice are even more pronounced than before; sections of the population are bearing the brunt far more than others, and there is a real risk of leaving behind workers who are unable to balance rapidly changing work responsibilities with increased demands placed on their personal life. While we all hope that the COVID-19 crisis will soon subside, some of its effects are likely to remain; not all office buildings will open back up, not all jobs lost will be available again, and the way we used to think about productivity and work-life balance may never be the same. Given these changes, how can pervasive computing support worker and organization productivity? How can it support workers in balancing productivity with well-being? How can it support workers as they seek new skills and new jobs? Furthermore, how do these new circumstances provide a window into the long-term future of work and the role of pervasive computing in this future? And, while we are primarily interested in how pervasive computing can support work, we must be mindful of helping workers maintain their overall well-being. What is the role of pervasive computing in this? In this special issue, we seek to provide a broad set of answers to these questions. The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing any aspect of the role of pervasive computing in supporting the future of work. Review or summary articles—for example, critical evaluations of the state of the art, or an insightful analysis of established and upcoming technologies—may be accepted if they demonstrate academic rigor and relevance. Example topics include, but are not limited to: Tools for remote work: working from home, working while commuting, and meetings with remote participants New ways of getting work done: techniques for interleaving work; easy resumption, engagement, and disengagement; and incorporating well-being needs in productivity tools Technologies for the future of work: networking, augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable devices, and human-robot collaboration Supporting worker well-being: maintaining work-life boundaries, supporting physical movement, and facilitating work attachment and detachment Matching worker skills with job opportunities: assessing worker skills, matching existing skills to new job opportunities, and peer-networks for learning new skills Inclusion and accessibility: technology that is built for equality and technology that supports all abilities Security and privacy: protecting the pervasive-computing work infrastructure from malicious actors and maintaining privacy while providing personalized support for work and well-being Novel ways of measuring outcome: rewarding performance so that it takes into account an individual’s unique needs, incorporating well-being as an integral part of productivity, fostering and measuring creativity and innovation, and supporting self-reflection by workers Novel applications of pervasive computing to support future jobs and work practices Submission Guidelines Articles submitted to IEEE Pervasive Computing should not exceed 6,000 words, including all text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies, and table text.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - 3rd International Workshop on Urban Computing (with IEEE DCOSS 2021) Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 13:27:01 +0100 Von: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)INRIA.FR> Antwort an: Aline Carneiro Viana <aline.viana(a)INRIA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd International Workshop on Urban Computing Coral Bay, Cyprus (with IEEE DCOSS 2019) Website: https://sites.google.com/view/urbcom-2021 **** Important Dates **** Paper Submission: March 26, 2021 Acceptance Notification: April 25, 2021 Camera Ready: May 2, 2021 **** Aims and Scope **** It is undeniable that the cities' urbanisation has modernised people's lives, bringing several benefits to the population. However, it has also brought serious challenges such as public management of collective spaces, air pollution, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and quality of life. In this context, Urban Computing emerges as a process of acquisition, integration, and analysis of a large volume of heterogeneous data generated from different sources in urban spaces, such as portable devices, sensors, vehicles, humans, among others. Urban Computing is an interdisciplinary area that connects information and communication technology, advanced management of large volumes of data, and diverse data analysis methods to propose solutions to problems faced by cities. In addition, Urban Computing seeks to understand the nature of urban and social phenomena to better plan the future of cities and improve their inhabitants' quality of life. UrbCom aims to create a space for: (1) presentation and discussion of studies in the area of Urban Computing; (2) collaboration between researchers from different areas that, given the interdisciplinary nature, is not limited to Computer Science. **** Topics of interest (not limited to) **** Architectures and Protocols for Urban Environments Data Analysis and Mining D2D and 5G Communication in Urban Environments Data Offloading e-Governance e-Health and m-Health Green Computing in Urban Environments Heterogeneous Data Management Human Mobility Human-Computer Interaction in Urban Spaces Improving Quality of Life in the City Using Mobile Services and Big Data Intelligent Transportation Systems Internet of Things Location Based Services Participatory / Opportunistic Sensing Recommendation Systems Reliability and Security in Urban Computing Smart Cities Social Computing Urban Data Visualisation Urban Planning Using Big Data Urban Sensing Infrastructures **** General Chairs **** Leandro A.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ICNP 2021] IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ICNP 2021] IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols Call for Papers Datum: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 19:38:12 -0800 Von: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> Antwort an: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2021 will be held in Dallas, Texas, from November 2-5, 2021. Website: https://icnp21.cs.ucr.edu/ Important Dates - Title/Abstract registration: May 17, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Full paper submission: May 24, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Notification of acceptance: August 3, 2021 - Camera ready version: August 24, 2021 Scope The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research contributions to the field of network protocol research. Both experimental studies as well as formal investigations are equally welcome. Topics traditionally of interest include, but are not limited to: - All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis. - Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, software-defined networks, data center networks, social networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and Internet of Things. - Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, routing, user privacy, and network management. - Network protocols meet AI/ML, e.g., application of AI/Machine Learning to improve network protocols and operations; networking and protocols for improving the performance of AI/Machine Learning systems. - Contributions to network architecture, e.g., algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or future Internet architectures. - Contributions to other areas of data communications to the extent that they articulate a strong connection to network protocols, for example by discussing potential implications on the design or performance of certain types of network protocols. Authors who are unsure whether or not their submissions might fit the scope of the conference are welcome to contact the Program Committee co-Chairs. Paper Formatting Paper submissions should adhere to the IEEE Conference formatting requirements using the templates available here, and should not exceed 10 pages excluding references. It is the authors' responsibility to produce readable submissions that comply with the formatting constraints. Violating the formatting requirements to squeeze in additional materials will result in a submission being returned without being reviewed. Submission and Anonymity Policy Papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers (and that of the reviewers from the authors). Achieving this goal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, and on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of related past work, including your own. While this requirement may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achieving the desired outcome: - Remove all authors' identifiers, e.g., names, emails, and affiliations, from the title page. - Remove acknowledgments of and identifiers of funding sources. - Use anonymous names for your files, as source file names are often embedded in the final output you generate, and therefore accessible as comments. - When referring to your own related work, refer to it in the third person as you would with any other related work by another author. Besides anonymizing your submission, double-blind reviewing also imposes additional requirements on both authors and reviewers. Specifically, while it is permissible for authors to give local talks on their work and release their paper on a non-peer-reviewed location, e.g., an institutional repository or even arXiv, care should be exercised to limit public exposure as much as possible. This requirement includes refraining from advertising the work on mailing lists and public forums, and in general limiting as much as possible the odds that program committee members be exposed to the work and the authors’ identity. Conversely, program committee members will be advised to neither actively seek to “reverse engineer” the authors’ identity, nor to directly share with other program committee members any such information they may have acquired. All questions regarding possible breaches of the anonymity covenant that underlies the double-blind review process will be adjudicated by the Program Committee co-Chairs. All papers will be provisionally accepted and the final acceptance of any paper will be subject to shepherding by a member of the program committee. Submission and Plagiarism Policy Papers must present original contributions and can neither be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized materials will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and possible penalties and will be rejected without being reviewed. Best Paper Award and Fast-Track Journal Publication One of the accepted papers will be selected for the Best Paper award, and will be fast tracked to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, with a streamlined journal review process. Presentation and Registration Requirements IEEE ICNP requires that at least one of the authors of any accepted paper must register for the conference at the full rate and be available to present the paper at the conference. While we anticipate ICNP 2021 will be held physically in-person in Dallas, TX, in the unlikely event that the conference is held virtually or partially virtually due to health considerations, we will accommodate requests by authors to present papers remotely, without physical attendance, and subsequently to include the paper in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. However, any paper that is not presented by an author of the paper, either in-person or remotely, will be withdrawn from the proceedings and thus from IEEE Xplore. At least one author from each accepted paper will be expected to register at the full rate whether presenting remotely or in person. Technical Program Chairs Y.

Induced by the rapid change in consumer electronics towards high performance wireless, also many new industrial applications are about to move into the wireless domain. These strong and appealing ideas create many challenges addressed by recent research. Nevertheless, wired communication is also substantially developing, e.g. TSN, thus improving dependable real-time communication. More and more distributed control applications have an increasing need for real-time data exchange. Mobile robots and UAVs used in factories introduce the need of seamless integrated distributed systems to connect edge computing to intelligent IIoT. Hence, challenging questions arise on wireless and wired communication in IT and OT industrial networks supporting data, sensor, and actuator communication. In those systems, security is a major concern to lay base for safe processes. Measures from AI to physical layer security contribute to a next generation dependable factory communication regardless if wired or wireless. The 17th edition of WFCS will focus on these challenges. The WFCS is the largest IEEE conference especially dedicated to communications for industrial automation systems. It is held the first time in Linz, Austria, an industrial emerging area with leading industries. It is a melting pot of academia and industry.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP Special Issue "Cooperative Perception for Intelligent Vehicles" - Sensors (Impact Factor: 3.275) Datum: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 10:19:56 +0100 Von: Miguel Sepulcre Ribes <msepulcre(a)UMH.ES> Antwort an: Miguel Sepulcre Ribes <msepulcre(a)UMH.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue "*Cooperative Perception for Intelligent Vehicles*" - Sensors (Impact Factor: 3.275) Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 April 2021 (extended). https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/Intelli_Vechicles Automated vehicles are expected to have a significant impact in the transport sector in the next decades, improving road safety and traffic efficiency, as well as reducing energy consumption and improving user comfort. Automated vehicles make use of a set of onboard sensors installed in the vehicle (e.g. camera, radar and lidar) that are responsible for perceiving the surrounding environment, and a set of actuators that control its longitudinal and lateral movements. One of the development objectives is to automatically perform driving tasks with less or even without driver intervention. Several studies have already shown that the sensors used in the perception process have limitations that might degrade the performance of automated vehicles. For example, in adverse weather conditions (such as rain, snow and fog), the cameras will not be able to adequately capture the environment, and in situations where the sensor’s field of vision is blocked (by other vehicles or buildings) none of the current sensors can detect beyond the position of the obstacle. To overcome these limitations and improve the perception capabilities of the vehicles, cooperative perception enables the wireless exchange of sensor information between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure nodes. Cooperative perception, also known as cooperative sensing or collective perception, enables vehicles and infrastructure nodes to detect objects (e.g. non-connected vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles) beyond their local sensing capabilities. Cooperative perception can be key for extended and timely detection of the surrounding environment and can also enable cooperative applications by compensating low penetration rates of connected road users, thus facilitating the future deployment of automated vehicles. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present and discuss major research challenges, latest developments, and recent advances on cooperative perception. This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality papers from academia and industry that aim to solve open technical problems or challenges in the context of cooperative perception. Original and innovative contributions on all aspects, both theoretical and experimental, are all welcome. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Application development and validation based on cooperative perception - V2X communication algorithms and protocols for cooperative perception - Communication technologies for cooperative perception - Radio resource allocation for cooperative perception - Congestion control for cooperative perception - Infrastructure-assisted solutions for cooperative perception - Security analysis and algorithms for cooperative perception - Artificial intelligence and machine learning-based cooperative perception - Sensor design and configuration for cooperative perception - Sensor architectures and technologies for cooperative perception - The impact of sensor data and sensor data fusion quality on the effectiveness of cooperative perception - Sensor data fusion problems, algorithms and architectures in the context of cooperative perception - Simulation platforms and experimental testbeds for cooperative perception Keywords: - Cooperative perception (also known as cooperative sensing or collective perception) - Connected automated vehicles - V2X communications - Simulation platforms - Experimental testbeds *Special Issue Editors* - Dr. Miguel Sepulcre - Dr. Michele Rondinone - Dr. Andreas Leich - Dr. Meng Lu *Dr. Miguel Sepulcre* Associate Professor - Wireless Networks, http://www.uwicore.umh.es Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche (UMH), Spain Associate Editor for IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine and IEEE Communications Letters Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FPLLIHsAAAAJ&hl=en ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency and high-reliability vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity will enable vehicles to collect huge amounts of data generated by the myriad of on-board and external sensors. Once collected, such data needs to be properly processed and mined to allow human drivers and self-driving cars to build an accurate view of their surroundings, so to promptly react to unexpected events and cooperatively plan maneuvers for a safer, greener, more efficient and comfortable driving and traveling experience. Nonetheless the well recognized potential of fifth generation (5G) technologies for future vehicular applications, research opportunities still need to be adequately disclosed, especially when considering the soaring demands of automotive applications ultimately leading to cooperative and fully automated driving and the ongoing 5G evolutions towards more disruptive and innovative solutions at different layers of the computing and protocol stacks. This Special Issue encourages the submission of high-quality, innovative and original contributions (both theory and practice) covering advances in the field of 5G and beyond technologies to enable vehicular applications. In addition, it welcomes also survey papers scanning the relevant literature and ongoing research efforts and experimentations. The technical areas include but are not limited to: * Wireless technologies and spectrum for vehicular applications (IEEE 802.11p/bd, Cellular-V2X, 5G NR V2X, THz, Li-Fi, mmWave) * Novel physical layer and access techniques (e.g., Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Full-duplex, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) * Network softwarization and programmability (e.g., Software-defined networking, Network Function Virtualization, P4, Network Slicing) * Vehicular applications (e.g., tele-operated driving, extended horizon, platooning, cooperative sensing and maneuvering, system diagnostics) * 5G cloud/edge computing to support vehicular applications * Vehicular cloud/edge computing * 5G and potential HMI advancements * Internet of Things technologies and protocols for vehicular applications * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for vehicular applications * Localization techniques to support vehicular applications * Security and Privacy for vehicular applications * System performance and measurement for vehicular applications Paper Submission Link: [ https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its | https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its ] (choose manuscript type 5GVEH) Accepted papers will be published upon acceptance as early access.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - Virtual] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2021 - paper registration/submission January 20/27, 2021 Datum: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:53:42 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM SIGCOMM 2021 August 23-27, 2021 Virtual Event http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/ ***Important dates*** * Jan 20, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Abstract registration deadline * Jan 27, 2021, 16:59 EST -- Paper submission deadline * May 3, 2021 (tentative) -- Notification date ***Call for Papers*** The ACM SIGCOMM 2021 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking research, which includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: * All types of computer networks such as mobile, wide-area, data-center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks. * All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, and acoustic and visible light-based communication. * All aspects of networks and networked systems such as architecture, packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics and evolution, and interactions with applications. * All types of computer network design, analysis, and experimental approaches such as theory, measurements, and machine learning-based techniques. We want each SIGCOMM paper to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or rigorously (re-)evaluating existing ideas. The review process will take the nature of the contribution into account. We strongly encourage authors to discuss not only the benefits but also the limitations of their work. SIGCOMM 2021 will accept submissions to the ***experience track*** in addition to the regular research track. Submissions to the experience track describe the design, analysis, and evaluation of techniques in commercial or otherwise widely-used deployment. Experience track submissions need not describe new ideas, but are strongly encouraged to elucidate key insights and takeaways gathered from design, deployment, or operational experience. The PC will evaluate experience-track submissions with the understanding that the primary contributions may be in extending the SIGCOMM community's knowledge of how known techniques fare when adapted to real-world settings, and particularly in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate, for reasons of scale or otherwise. At paper registration time, authors must explicitly indicate both in their paper title and submission form if their paper is to be considered for the experience or regular research track. Submissions to the experience track should also be double-blind. However, given the nature of these papers, it is OK to reveal company or system name but NOT author names. Each submission will only be considered for one track - either the experience or the research track, but not both - in accordance with the authors' preference expressed at submission time. The final conference program will not preserve the distinction between the two tracks. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2021 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. ***Submissions*** Papers submitted to SIGCOMM typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. The program committee will judge submissions based upon novelty, significance, correctness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the SIGCOMM community. All accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee. Submissions should be in two-column, 10-point format, and can be up to 12 pages in length with as many additional pages as necessary for references and optional appendices. Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, not counting against the 12 pages). Reviewers are not required to read appendices or consider them in their review. Authors should thus ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result. For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, and code, all appropriately anonymized. NOTE: For accepted papers, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Detailed submission instructions can be found here -- http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/submission.html Submission site: https://sigcomm2021.hotcrp.com ***Artifact Evaluation for Accepted Papers*** The authors of accepted SIGCOMM 2021 papers will be invited to submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by a separate committee that will assess how well the submitted artifacts support the work described in the accepted papers. Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary but strongly encouraged and it has no influence on the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive badges printed on the papers themselves. Additional details on the Artifact Evaluation process can be found here -- https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging ***Public Summaries for Accepted Papers*** The SIGCOMM 2021 program will feature public summaries accompanying each accepted paper. In most cases, the summary will be written by the paper's shepherd and will provide an overview of the problem addressed in the paper and its solution, and highlight interesting future questions that arise. The summary may additionally explain aspects of the paper the reviewers particularly liked. Summaries will be published along with the papers in the ACM Digital Library. ***Ethical Concerns*** All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues; papers that don't include such a statement may be rejected. This could be, if appropriate for the paper, simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc.), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if human subjects are involved or other people are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harm to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (https://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatte…) and the ACM ethics policy (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics) for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Review Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the program committee will independently evaluate the ethical soundness of the work just as they evaluate its technical soundness. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the PC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for posters and demonstrations describing novel work on mobile systems, applications, and services. Given the current circumstances, live poster presentations and demos will run in parallel over video link during a dedicated session, with participants being able to drop in and out, as they would in an in-situ setting. As backup, authors of posters and demonstrations will be required to have pre-recorded versions of their poster presentations/demos. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with workshop attendees. Posters are well suited to controversial work that can generate discussion or promising new ideas which have not been thoroughly evaluated. Demos provide an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of your research. We are looking for new ways of presenting demos and posters, exploiting the possibility of a video link in original and novel ways. For example, demos can be video streamed from labs (where local provisions permit), outdoors, using web portals/Jupyter notebooks/Colab, or involve app downloads via links provided and user testing. The poster/demo session will feature a Best Poster/Demo award. *Submission* Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Poster/Demo Chair ( paul.patras(a)ed.ac.uk). * subject line for posters: HOTMOBILE POSTER SUBMISSION * subject line for demos: HOTMOBILE DEMO SUBMISSION **Abstract deadline: Jan 20th, 2021* *More details on the submission process:* * Please set up your page to be letter size, 8.5x11 inches, two columns, using 10-pt font size for the text body, at least one-inch margin on all sides; * Please include the title of the poster/demo and the author list, including affiliations in both the PDF file and in the body of the email; * Please prefix your title with “Poster:” for a poster submission and “Demo:” for a demo submission; * The abstract should be attached in PDF format. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ICC Workshop 2021 | I-CPSaaS Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 17:27:06 -0500 Von: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Kuljeet Kaur <kuljeet0389(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We are looking for high-quality papers for our upcoming workshop in IEEE ICC 2021 entitled "I-CPSaaS: Sensing-as-a-Service for Industrial Cyber Physical Systems". Scope With the advent of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the industrial sector has witnessed substantial changes over the last couple of years. These changes when integrated with the conventional systems not only help to upscale their productions but also help them to achieve their business goals. The ongoing expansion across different domains such as manufacturing, energy systems, transportation, automated vehicles, etc is a perfect example of actively applying this innovative technology to the industrial sector. The major precursors behind this advancement of IIoT can be attributed to more product variability, enhanced quality of products, growing global competition, decreased product cost, and shorter manufacturing time. To cater to the above-mentioned challenges, IIoT leverages the concept of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (I-CPS); which enable interactions amongst the machines, data, and humans. Sensing-as-a-Service (S2aaS) is considered as key component of the I-CPS and is assumed to resides somewhere between the cyber and physical worlds. It also helps in integrating the IIoT data with the marketplace analysing and trading on the gathered data. Nonetheless, the sensors are not necessarily the physical sensors interacting with the environment, but they can be virtual too. In S2aaS, the virtual sensors can be any entity that produces data such as social media accounts, quantified self apps, weather APIs, etc. The data generated from these sensors needs real-time analysis to derive value for its marketplace; and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing has a significant role to play in the context. This computing paradigm can offer promising results for CPS applications that are characterised by geo-distribution, latency-sensitivity and high-resilience. Topics We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fusion of cyber and physical knowledge for reliable, efficient and robust decision-making • Design, implementation, and test of Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing platform for I-CPS. • Sensors for network anomaly detection and ensure security, privacy and trustworthiness • Efficient computational and communication models for implementing S2aaS in I-CPS • Use of S2aaS for fault diagnosis in I-CPS • Use case scenarios for employing Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing for providing sensor-as-a-service in I-CPS • Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence solutions for Industrial domain specific CPS • Physical and Virtual Senor fusion with Industrial Internet of Things and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing • Management of heterogeneous and homogenous data coming from sensors deployed in I-CPS Paper Submission The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. The page length limit for all initial submissions for review is SIX (6) printed pages (10-point font) and must be written in English. All final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. No more than one (1) additional printed page (10-point font) may be included in final submissions and the extra page (the 7th page) will incur an over length page charge of USD100.
