April 2021 um 04:55:59 MESZ > An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org > Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The Sixth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing 2021 > Antwort an: "Yang, Qing" <Qing.Yang(a)unt.edu> > > ** Apologies for cross-postings. ** > > ACM/IEEE SEC takes a broad view of edge computing and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice that embraces any aspect of edge computing. Topics include, but are not limited to: > > > * algorithms and techniques for machine learning and AI at the edge > * cellular infrastructure for edge computing > * distributed ledger technology (DLT) & blockchain at the edge > * edge computing as an enabler of 5G applications and services > * edge computing infrastructure and edge-enabled applications > * geo-distributed analytics and indexing on edge nodes > * hardware architectures for edge computing and devices > * IoT hubs > * innovative applications at the edge > * monitoring, management, and diagnosis in edge computing > * networking, e.g., from clients to the edge, and from the edge to the cloud > * programming models and toolkits > * resource management and reliability for edge computing > * security and privacy issues > * vehicular, enterprise, and manufacturing systems > > The review process will be double-blind. Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. A best paper award will be presented to one or more outstanding papers from the conference. > > We also welcome short Position Papers on any of the above topics, which will be judged separately from papers in the research track of the conference. > > By submitting a paper, you agree that at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it. > > Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted here<http://acm-ieee-sec.org/2021/call%20for%20papers.php>. Do not email submissions. > > Two Deadlines and Reviewing Process with One-shot Revision > > SEC’21 offers authors the options of two deadlines and adds a one-shot revision process to enhance the timeliness and quality of the scientific results from the research community. Each paper will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as in previous SEC conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: > > * Accept: Papers in this category will be accepted for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference, possibly after making minor changes with the oversight of a shepherd. > * One-Shot-Revision: A limited number of papers will be invited to submit a revision; such papers will receive a specific set of action points and can be resubmitted for the next deadline. After the resubmission, reviewers will evaluate the paper based on whether the authors have properly addressed the previous reviews. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to SEC and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. The revised paper will then be re-evaluated, and either accepted or rejected. > * Reject: Papers in this category are declined for inclusion in the conference. Rejected papers must wait for one year, from the date of the original submission, to resubmit to SEC. A paper will be judged to be a resubmit (as opposed to a new submission) if the paper is from the same or similar authors, and a reviewer could write a substantially similar summary of the paper compared with the original submission. As a rule of thumb, if there is more than 40% overlap between the original submission and the new paper, it will be considered a resubmission. > > In case of any similarity between a current submission and a submission that has been previously rejected at SEC less than 11 months ago, please email a detailed list of differences and if possible, a copy of a previous submission to the chairs. > > Important Dates > Deadline 1 (Passed) > Deadline 2 > Abstract and title registration June 17, 2021 > Paper submission June 24, 2021 > Notification of acceptance September 3, 2021 > Camera ready October 15, 2021 > > > Submission Instructions > Submitted papers must be no longer than 12 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, and using 10-point type on 11-point (single-spaced) leading, two-column format, Times Roman or a similar font, within a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep. IEEE Standard template for Latex and Word meet these specifications and can be found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted papers will be allowed 2 additional pages in the proceedings. Papers not meeting these criteria will be rejected without review, and no deadline extensions will be granted for reformatting. Pages should be numbered, and figures and tables should be legible in black and white, without requiring magnification. Papers so short as to be considered "extended abstracts" will not receive full consideration. > > Reviewing will be double-blind. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions, and they should not identify themselves either explicitly or by implication; for example, cite prior work as though it belongs to a third party. Submissions violating the detailed formatting and anonymization rules will not be considered for review. If you are uncertain about how to anonymize your submission, please contact the program co-chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. > > Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted via the Web submission form, which will be open in the weeks before the submission deadline. > > Position Papers > The program committee is also soliciting industry and academic position papers that describe current advances and challenges in edge computing practice and academic research. Such papers should follow the above submission instructions, with the exception that they may be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages. Furthermore, the title of the paper should include the words: "Position Paper: XXX", where XXX is the actual title of the paper. > > ______________________________________________________________ > IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: MobileServerless 2021 Workshop (co-located with ACM MobiSys 2021) Datum: Wed, 14 Apr 2021 10:18:24 +0200 Von: Andrés García Saavedra <andres.garcia.saavedra(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Andrés García Saavedra <andres.garcia.saavedra(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, apologies for cross-posting! Please consider contributing to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to: ============================================================================================ MobileServerless 2021 the 1st Workshop on Serverless Mobile Networking for 6G Communications co-located with ACM MobiSys 2021 ============================================================================================ Spurred by a growing need for programmability and flexibility, serverless computing is rapidly gaining the attention of mobile network stakeholders. The introduction of serverless architectures, also known as Function as a Service (FaaS), enables programmers to decompose network operations into atomic building blocks. This new paradigm represents the natural evolution of current cloud-native architectures, and a first glimpse into an actual fluid resource control that breaks current quantization and reaches ultimate flexibility. The advantages are evident and include: no service management, boosted resource multiplexing, liquid scalability, and high customization. The challenges to realizing a complete serverless approach in mobile networks are however important: software needs to be re-developed for this purpose, the scalability of routing traffic interconnecting functions must be explored, and resource orchestration becomes daunting. MobileServerless will facilitate discussions and novel contributions on the emerging topic of serverless networking for future mobile communications. MobileServerless welcomes both theoretical and more applied contributions, tools and methodologies, works-in-progress, demos and experience papers. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Application of cloud-native and serverless concept to network function design - Performance evaluation of cloud-native network deployment - Simulation and theoretical evaluation of highly modular network functions - New software architectures for network function design - Management and orchestration solutions for cloud-native network functions - Technical enablers for scalable packet forwarding in a cloud-native environment - Security and privacy in serverless environments. We will have 2 renowned keynote speakers: - Dr. Volker Hilt, who is a Bell Labs Fellow and senior director leading the Autonomous Software Systems Research program at Nokia Bell Labs. Volker's work is focused on distributed software systems where he has made contributions in cloud computing, software operations, distributed multimedia systems, content distribution networks, peer-to-peer applications and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). He has designed the overload control mechanism for SIP, which has become a key part of today's telecommunication systems. Volker received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2001 from the University of Mannheim in Germany. He joined Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ, USA in 2002 and moved to Stuttgart, Germany in 2012. Volker is an IEEE senior member and has published over 100 papers, Internet drafts and RFCs and holds over 30 patents. - Dr. Paul Castro, who is a Research Staff Member and Manager at the IBM Watson Research Center. He currently works on Hybrid Cloud Programming Models and Systems with interests in Serverless computing models, cloud platforms, and developer tooling for cloud-native development. He has been active in research on mobile and pervasive computing, cloud infrastructure, wireless location systems, location databases, stream processing, and enterprise web applications and has been awarded several patents in these areas. He has worked on cloud services for supporting mobile applications running on various smartphone platforms. Work from his research in the area of multi-device application support was recently released as part of the IBM Bluemix Mobile Backend as a Service. He has earned two IBM Technical Achievement Awards for the IBM SmartCloud Web Meetings for mobile clients and the Intelligent Notification System. He worked extensively on enterprise solutions work for the Apple+IBM partnership. He has also worked on Apache OpenWhisk which powers IBM Cloud Functions.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] NetSys 2021 - Second Call for Ext. Abstracts and Hot Topic Papers
by Lars Wolf 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] NetSys 2021 - Second Call for Ext. Abstracts and Hot Topic Papers Datum: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:20:08 -0700 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG International Conference on Networked Systems 2021 13.-16. September 2021 - Lübeck, Germany https://netsys2021.org Second Call for Extended Abstracts and Hot Topic Papers ------------------------------------------------------- The conference on Networked Systems (NetSys 2021) is a traditional biennial event that provides an international forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent innovations in the realm of networked systems. NetSys'21 is again a joint event organized by GI KuVS (GI, Communication and Distributed Systems) and VDE ITG (VDE, Information Technical Society) and additionally supported by IFIP TC6. The NetSys21 technical program focusses on original contributions in the area of networking and distributed systems and also features invited presentations on hot topics in networking and distributed systems, an industry session, separate workshops, tutorials, posters, demos, an early work track, and a PhD forum. Also included is the annual 1-day ITG expert symposium “Future of Networking” (Zukunft der Netze, ZdN) with invited technical presentations on advanced topics in networking. The German GI FG on Operating Systems also plans to hold its fall workshop in combination with NetSys'21 in Lübeck. NetSys'21 solicits extended abstracts presenting original and novel research and ideas as well as hot topic papers, i.e. presentations of papers that have already been accepted or published at other conferences or journals in the field during the last two years. The NetSys'21 TPC will select extended abstract papers for presentation and inclusion in the NetSys'21 proceedings to be published open access via the journal Electronic Communications of the EASST (ECEASST) ( https://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst). Hot topic presentations shall highlight recent and highly significant results in networked and distributed systems to be presented in a highly innovative, thought-provoking and stimulating format - containing, e.g., new research topics, directions, and methods. This includes recent papers which appeared (or are to appear) in top journals (such as TON or CCR) or top conferences (such as SIGCOMM, IMC, MobiCom, CoNEXT, INFOCOM, ICDCS) that are of high interest for the NetSys community. Extended abstracts and hot topic papers, can include, but are not limited to the following topics: * Network architectures and protocols * Transport- and application-layer protocols * Software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and further network softwarization * Mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular, and sensor networks * Novel concepts for tactile and low-latency communication * Pertinent middleware architectures, platforms, and programming support for networked systems * Internet of Things (IoT) * Cloud computing, mobile cloud computing, fog and edge computing * Network security and privacy * Information-centric networking, content distribution and retrieval, and their co-existence with classical networks * SoA, web services, and mobile services * Consistency, reliability, availability in networking and distributed systems * Advancements in social networks, social computing, data-intensive computing (big data) * Methods for design, implementation and analysis of networked systems * Cyber-physical networked systems * Green and energy-efficient networks / networked systems * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as well as their application in, and impacts on, networking * Distributed ledger systems and applications * Emerging and future networked applications and distributed systems NetSys and the COVID-19 pandemic -------------------------------- Reallistically, it is currently (i.e. mid-April 2021) impossible to predict in which format NetSys 2021 can take place in September. We aim at a face-to-face event which seems still possible due to Lübeck’s location in the low incidence area of Schleswig-Holstein and the anticipated massive increase in vaccination until September. However, we are also preparing a hybrid backup solution, even though this would only substitute a rather limited subset of an event like NetSys - where personal meetings play a very important role. Fortunately, we are still in the situation of not having to make a final decision on the conference format at the moment. As soon as this becomes clearer, we will inform you via all conceivable channels! IMPORTANT DATES --------------- *Extended abstract submissions* * **Registration & submission:** Friday, May 28th, 2021 * **Notification of acceptance:** Wednesday, June 30th, 2021 * **Camera-ready due:** tba *Hot topic submissions* * **Registration & submission:** Friday, May 28th, 2021 * **Notification of acceptance:** Wednesday, June 30th, 2021 For other dates (workshop proposals, demo papers, early work and PhD Forum) see https://netsys2021.org. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS -------------------------------------------- All abstract submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication. Extended abstracts are limited to 4 pages including references, figures and tables (11pt font, one-column format) in ECEASST-Style. LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting instructions, are available online here: https://netsys2021.org/participation Contributions should be submitted electronically as PDF, via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netsys2021 The abstracts will undergo a thorough process of peer reviews by at least three members of the technical program committee. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference to present the extended abstract via a talk or potentially via a poster. Accepted and presented extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings via the journal Electronic Communiations of EASST ( https://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR HOT TOPIC PAPERS ------------------------------------------ We expect submissions of papers already published or accepted at top-tier venues. Please submit the full paper or at least the front page (at least including title, authors, abstract, and publication venue) of the published paper as well as its complete reference. Accepted hot topic papers have to be presented at the conference. The presentations will be 15-20 minutes per talk (at the discretion of the NetSys organizers).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM-NAI 2021 Datum: Tue, 13 Apr 2021 20:26:49 +0800 Von: Qiao Xiang <xiangq27(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Qiao Xiang <xiangq27(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ----------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2021 ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network-Application Integration (NAI'21) August 23 or 27, 2021 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2021/workshop-nai.html ----------------------------------------------------- The Internet was designed and launched 50 years ago to satisfy yet unforeseen applications, and the Internet's adaptation and scalability have been proved remarkably successful over the years. However, the general-purpose and best-effort model of the Internet continues to be challenged with an ever-growing demand for more complex applications with stricter application-specific requirements. How can we deliver 4k videos to everybody? How can we ensure ultra-low latency for applications such as self-driving cars and cloud gaming? How do applications adapt when the underlying infrastructure cannot provide the services such as reliability or security? The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network-Application Integration/CoDesign (NAI) seeks to build on the success of the first workshop ( https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2020/workshop-nai.html) and continue to foster discussions on this topic. We invite researchers from academia and industry as well as engineers to explore novel ideas and future directions of NAI. Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to: - Network abstraction models (e.g., resource, state) - Exposure of network information and control interfaces - Data collection (e.g., measurement) for network abstraction - Coordination of information and decisions across multiple domains (regions and technology layers) - Data processing techniques to generate network abstraction (e.g., low level, filtering) - Data distribution techniques (i.e., how, when and where to make data available for processing/analysis) for real-time network information exposure - Validation of network abstractions (e.g., conforming to model) - Privacy analysis of exposing network and application information - Economical/game-theoretical analysis of network information/service exposure - Stability design and analysis of application-network control loop - Optimality design and analysis of application-network control loop - Condition management and conflict resolution in complex closed-loop systems - Control with multiple dimensional constraints (privacy, policy, beyond networking) - Co-design for specialized apps (e.g., video, ML, IoT) - Integrating learning and big data analytics (e.g., wide area, application and user) - Experience and deployment of application-network co-design and integration - Application adaptation to network information/service models Submission Instructions： Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. We also encourage industrial demos for which a two-page extended abstract must be submitted in the same format as the workshop papers. Papers and extended abstracts must include author names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present and discuss their work at the workshop. Please submit your paper via https://nai21.hotcrp.com. Please direct any questions to the workshop chairs at sigcomm21nai(a)gmail.com . IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 21, 2021 Notification deadline: June 9, 2021 Camera-ready: June 30, 2021 Workshop: August 27, 2021 Best wishes Qiao Xiang -- Qiao Xiang, Xiamen University ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Among different platforms and systems, many of them also rely on user collaboration to provide data, services, and to improve the systems also for other users. Most popular are Crowdsensing systems, in which users measurements' are leveraged to enlarge the data available for the platform. More recently also other forms of collaboration among users and the platform are available, such as services made by user thanks to visual programming languages, or user reviewing issues. This openness of the system has a twofold benefit (i) it allows the platform to be more fitted to the user needs and desired services, and (ii) it allows the users to be part of the platform design, so being able to understand how it works, gaining trust in it and also feel more rewarded in participating. This Special Track solicits unpublished high quality paper related (but not limited to): - Mobile Crowdsensing - User participation in Mobile Crowdsensing - Rewarding mechanism in Mobile Crowdsensing - User aided design of Mobile Crowdsensing - User-centered Internet of Things - Data science for Mobile Crowdsensing - Fog/Cloud computing for Collaborative IoT - Machine learning techniques for data aggregation - Machine learning techniques for data classification - Participatory IoT Platforms - User Defined Service Composition - Mobile Crowdsensing testbeds and platforms - Privacy for Crowdsensed data - Context Aware Application and Services - User behavior classification from public data - User activity recognition - User profiling Important dates are reported below: - May 1st 2021 - Paper Submission Deadline - June 22nd 2021 - Notification of Acceptance - July 10th 2021 - Camera Ready Submission Deadline Papers should be submitted via the HotCRP submission website https://goodit2021.hotcrp.com/ Federico Montori and Luca Bedogni Federico Montori Research Fellow Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Bologna, Italy ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Announcements] [CFP - Deadline extended] Wi-DroIT 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things Datum: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 10:25:37 +0200 Von: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS Wi-DroIT 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things July 14–16, 2021 – Virtual Event co-located with DCOSS 2021 Website: https://widroit2021.github.io Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2021 Due to the evolution of the health pandemic, the event will be held fully on-line. This will not impact the publication of the DCOSS 2021 proceedings and accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore Proceedings. The virtual program will include live sessions of invited speakers and author presentations, possibly supplemented by online material such as the papers, presentation slides and videos. Aims and Scope Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted for. For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing. Topics of Interest - Autonomous sensing via UAVs - Topology monitoring with UAVs - Remote sensing networks via UAVs - Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT - Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT - Precision agriculture and UAVs - Crops monitoring in agriculture - Bugs monitoring in agriculture - UAVs for environmental monitoring - Autopilot and UAS autonomy - UAVs path planning and scheduling - Parcel delivery using UAVs - Cellular networks and UAVs - Constrained and multi-objectives problems - Sensors localization with UAVs - UAVs tracking techniques - Cooperative control of multiple UAVs - Cyber-security communications and UAVs - Optimal UAV deployment strategies - Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs - Single UAV applications - Multi-UAV applications - Energy-efficient UAV communications - Machine learning for UAV communications Important dates - Abstract Submission: May 14, 2021 - Paper Submission: May 21, 2021 - Acceptance Notification: June 11, 2021 - Final manuscript, camera ready: June 18, 2021 Submission Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to WiDroIt topics of interest.

Please kindly forward it to those who may be interested. Lan Wang and Jörg Ott -------- 8th ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) 2021 https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2021/ 22--24 September 2021 (Paris, France) IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration: 7 May 2021 Paper submission: 14 May 2021 Acceptance notification: 20 July 2021 Camera-ready deadline: 20 August 2021 CALL FOR PAPERS The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to submit your work for presentation at the 8th ACM conference on Information Centric Networking (ICN 2021), to be held virtually 22-24 September 2021. ACM ICN 2021 is a single-track conference focusing on significant research contributions to ICN as broadly defined, and featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations. ICN deals with all aspects of an information- or data-centric approach toward supporting networked applications. Such an approach treats digital objects (i.e., collections of bits) as first-class objects, and supports identification, creation, retrieval, authentication, and access control for such objects through a global service. ACM ICN 2021 solicits research contributions across the full spectrum of technologies and architectures related to ICN, including work that advances core ICN concepts, architectures, technologies, and capabilities; extends current ICN concepts to new networking environments and use cases; realizes, demonstrates, and quantifies the benefits of ICN in traditional and emerging application domains; and catalyzes, incentivizes, simplifies, and supports ICN deployments in realistic, operational environments and settings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Vision papers identifying and scoping future research directions for ICN (limited to short papers). Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “Vision:” in the title. • Systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers that evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge. Suitable papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major ICN research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate and may be rejected without full review. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “SoK:” in the title. • Design and implementation of global and local information-centric approaches, such as named-data, publish-subscribe, and distribution-oriented systems, including domain-specific designs • Namespace management approaches, case studies, and empirical evaluation campaigns • Security including identity bootstrapping, confidentiality and access control, authentication, and non-repudiation, as well as infrastructure resilience • Privacy of consumers and producers of content objects • Routing, forwarding, and caching for ICN • Policing, QoS, multimedia transport, and adaptive network functions in ICN • ICN solutions supporting mobile or constrained environments including 5G and network slicing, vehicular networking, autonomous driving, and machine-to-machine communication • ICN platforms allowing specification of computations on data, and orchestration of such computations, including named computing functions at the network edge • ICN solutions for integrating big data platforms and machine learning frameworks • Virtualization, operation, and orchestration of named network resources including forwarding, storage, computation, and the distributed Web • ICN network management, e.g., monitoring and fault diagnosis • Software design and architectures to support ICN including testing and verification • Experiences with application of information-centric networking and computation in various domains such as Internet-of-things,. edge computing, and social media. • Measurement and analysis of ICN protocols, applications, and infrastructure • ICN implementation approaches based on software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), or other emerging technologies • Implementation challenges and experiences: line speed caching, routing scalability, congestion control, network management at scale, zeroconf bootstrapping and operation • Approaches to coexistence/evolution of information-centric and host-centric networking, including IP-based protocols in support of information-centric operations • Incentives, money flow, and other socio technical aspects of information-centric networking SUBMISSION DETAILS The conference solicits both full and short papers. Submissions will be reviewed through a double-blind process, and evaluated on the basis of intellectual merit, originality, importance of contribution to the field, soundness and strength of evaluation (for full papers), quality and clarity of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work. Full papers may be up to 10 pages in length, excluding references, following the ACM SIGCOMM format<https://github.com/conference-websites/acmart-sigproc-template/> (10pt font, sigconf option for acmart style), and should convey the results of mature research. Short papers may be up to 6 pages in length, excluding references. Short papers should illustrate important challenges or promising new lines of research in the realm of ICN, either through the presentation of illuminating early research results or through the vehicle of a well-reasoned and thought-provoking position statement; vision papers must be submitted as short papers. Short papers will be evaluated primarily on their ability to contribute to the future evolution of ICN research in light of the goals described above. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Register and submit your paper by the deadline in the conference submission site (HotCRP)<https://icn21.hotcrp.com/paper/new>.. If your paper is accepted, we will provide further information for the camera-ready version. If you have any questions about submitting papers to ICN 2021, or encounter problems with the paper submission site, contact the TPC chairs before the deadline. SUBMISSION COMPLIANCE Papers submitted for consideration must not have been already published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Specifically, authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism<http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy> and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions<http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions>. Like other conferences and journals, ICN prohibits violation of the above ACM Policies and may take action against authors who violate them. In some cases, the program committee may share information about submitted papers with other conference chairs and journal editors to ensure the compliance of papers under consideration. If the TPC discovers a violation of these principles, sanctions may include, but are not limited to, contacting the institutions of the authors and publicizing the details of the case. ICN will review extended versions of previously-published short preliminary papers (such as workshop papers) in accordance with published ACM SIGCOMM<http://www.sigcomm.org/about/policies/frequently-asked-questions-faq/> policies. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement requests will not be considered. IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration: 7 May 2021 Paper submission: 14 May 2021 Acceptance notification: 20 July 2021 Camera-ready deadline: 20 August 2021 GENERAL CHAIRS Giovanna Carofiglio – Cisco Dave Oran – MIT / Network Systems Research & Design TPC CHAIRS Lan Wang – University of Memphis Jörg Ott – Technische Universität München ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ICNP 2021 Call for Papers
by Lars Wolf 31 Mar '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ICNP 2021 Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 16:07:11 -0700 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, vehicularnetworks, 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 forimproving 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 certaintypes 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 theformatting 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 thisgoal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, and on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of relatedpast work, including your own. While this requirement may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achievingthe 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 limitingas 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 covenantthat 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 anypaper 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 policyand 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, andwill 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 papermust 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 isnot presented by an author of the paper, either in-person or remotely, will be withdrawn from the proceedings and thus from IEEE Xplore. At leastone author from each accepted paper will be expected to register at the full rate whether presenting remotely or in person. Technical Program Chairs Y.
