As the rollouts of commercial 5G networks continue all over the world, the increasing coverage and continuously evolving capabilities of the technology make it an ideal connectivity platform for a variety of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication scenarios. Critical network-based services enhancing the road traffic safety are able to exploit the ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services offered by 5G. Other non-critical support services can rely on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine type communications (mMTC) services provided by 5G networks and facilitate the operation of the intelligent road transport systems as well as the comfort and wellbeing of the drivers and passengers. The aim of the workshop is to exploit these opportunities from several perspectives. First, the workshop distributes the latest results assessing the suitability of the currently standardised 5G functionalities in a variety of CCAM scenarios. Second, the workshop discusses the gaps identified in the existing 5G capabilities when it comes to the heterogeneous requirements, stemming from these scenarios, and offers new technological solutions to fill the identified gaps. Third, the workshop considers novel services and concepts that 5G networks would enable to improve the safety and performance of CCAM. The workshop is organised by the EU Horizon 2020 5G-HEART<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F5gheart.o…> and Celtic-Next 5G-SAFE-Plus<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F5gsafeplu…> projects. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): · 5G technologies and networks for the automotive and transport verticals · Cellular V2X (C-V2X) communications · Network slicing supporting CCAM · Licensed, shared and unlicensed spectrum models supporting CCAM · Utilisation of sensor network and Internet of things (IoT) infrastructures for CCAM · Quality of service/experience (QoS/QoE) assurance for CCAM · CCAM privacy and security issues · Critical network-based road traffic safety services utilising URLLC · Non-critical network-based support services utilising eMBB and mMTC · Cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) · Mixed traffic scenarios involving connected and non-connected users and/or vehicles · Vulnerable road user (VRU) protection · Coping with severe (e.g., arctic) weather conditions · Innovative CCAM use and business cases · Testbeds, experimental evaluations and field trials Workshop co-chairs: Jarno Pinola, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., Finland Dr. Faouzi Bouali, University of Surrey, UK Dr. Tiia Ojanperä, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., Finland Important dates: Paper submission due: 3 January 2021 Acceptance notification: 24 January 2021 Final paper submission due: 14 February 2021 Paper submission through TrackChair<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvtc2021s-…>. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Looking forward to receiving your papers.

Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Specialized networked systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and to respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. Also, they might be able to integrate within existing and upcoming mobile infrastructures (e.g. the 5G), by enabling the sensing operations on complex and dynamic scenarios, and to process the data on the edge or to offload them toward existing cloud services. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, ground and aerial robotic systems are in need of new networking techniques as well as of novel cloud/edge architectures for data gathering and processing that might unlock the potentials of such systems. To this purpose, WiSARN aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of sensor robotic and aerial networks. IEEE WiSARN 2021 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshop’s topics.

It has established a strong track record for high-quality research in the application of computing and networked systems to make legacy systems more energy-efficient and in the design, analysis, and development of sustainable and innovative energy systems. The Twelfth ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy) and its co-located tutorials and workshops, will be held in Torino, Italy, from June 28 to July 2, 2021 (see COVID-19 related information at the end of this CfP). By bringing together researchers in a single-track conference designed to offer significant opportunities for personal interaction, it is a major forum for shaping the future of this area. We seek high-quality papers at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems. We welcome submissions describing conceptual advances, as well as advances in system design, implementation and experimentation, and we explicitly welcome inter- or transdisciplinary work. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for ACM e-Energy include, but are not limited to the following: ● AI/ML and data analytics, e.g., for tackling climate impact of energy systems ● Algorithmic approaches to energy system problems ● Applications of cyber-physical systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) to smart energy systems ● Modelling and analysis of multimodal and cross-sectoral energy systems ● Automation and control of distribution and transmission networks ● Demand-side management, including innovative pricing and incentive design ● Distributed ledger systems for energy systems ● Economics and business models for smart energy systems, including aggregators and prosumers ● Electricity market and electricity supply chain measurement, modeling, and analysis ● Electric vehicles and energy-efficient transportation systems ● Distributed energy resources, including energy storage and renewable resources ● Energy-efficient computing and communication, including data centers ● Microgrid and distributed generation management and control ● Modeling and understanding user behavior in energy systems ● Sizing, monitoring, and control of energy systems for smart grids, smart buildings, and smart cities ● Privacy, cybersecurity and resilience of smart grid infrastructure Authors unsure about topical fit are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: 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 your 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). General Chairs: Hermann De Meer (University of Passau, Germany), Michela Meo (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) Program Chairs: Omid Ardakanian (University of Alberta, Canada), Astrid Nieße (University of Oldenburg, Germany) Key Dates: Paper registration deadline: January 27, 2021 Paper submission deadline: February 3, 2021 Author notification: April 20, 2021 Camera-ready submission: May 18, 2021 ACM e-Energy’20 conference: June 28 - July 2, 2021 Full Paper Submissions: Full papers, up to 10 pages in 9-point ACM double-column format excluding references and appendices should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been published, accepted for publication, or under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Full paper submissions may also be considered for acceptance as Notes papers. Paper review will follow a standard double-blind policy. As has been realized for the last conferences in this series, selected full papers will have the option of being fast-tracked to a high-quality journal. A full paper submission may extend the author’s previous extended abstract or workshop paper, provided those extensions are substantial. In such cases, authors should (i) acknowledge their own previous workshop publications with an anonymous citation and (ii) explain the differences between the e-Energy submission and the prior workshop paper. Notes Paper Submissions: Notes papers, up to 4 pages in 9-point ACM double-column excluding references and appendices, are intended to discuss preliminary research results, advocate new research directions, or present industrial projects. Notes will be reviewed based on the novelty of their ideas, potential for impact, and quality of presentation. Paper review will follow a double-blind policy. Operational Systems Paper Submissions: Operational systems papers, up to 10 pages in 9-point ACM double-column format excluding references and appendices, describe the design, implementation, analysis, and experience with large-scale, operational systems in the field. While they may not necessarily describe new ideas, they are welcome if they disprove or strengthen existing assumptions, deepen the understanding of existing problems, and validate known techniques in real-world environments in which they have never been applied before. The goal of these papers is to provide new insights and learnings to the research community that can only be obtained from real world implementation and deployments. Authors should indicate in the submission form that they are submitting to this track. Submissions to the operational systems track should also be double-blind. However, given the nature of these papers, it is okay to reveal the company or system name (but NOT author names and affiliations). COVID-19 related information: While an on-site conference is preferred by the organizers, the current pandemic might force us to switch to a hybrid or fully online event. The decision on this will be published on April 20th, 2021 (author notification deadline), at the latest. Online attendance will be possible. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP-IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:10:29 +0800 Von: Jianchao Zheng <longxingren.zjc.s(a)163.COM> Antwort an: Jianchao Zheng <longxingren.zjc.s(a)163.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, You are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on Aerial Computing: Drones for Multi-Access Edge Computing Call for Papers With the explosive development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G communications, multi-access edge computing (MEC) has emerged as an effective solution to help mobile devices deal with computation-intensive and delay-sensitive applications. However, computing servers are usually embedded in fixed access points (APs) or base stations (BSs), and thus pose many disadvantages. Recently, a new paradigm of drone-enabled aerial computing has drawn extensive attention due to drones’ mobility, flexibility, and maneuverability. When the computing servers embedded in APs/BSs are overloaded or unavailable, drones can be quickly deployed to designated areas to meet temporary and/or unexpected demands. Moreover, benefiting from line-of-sight properties of air-ground links, aerial computing can effectively reduce task delay and transmission energy consumption as compared to terrestrial computing. In particular, aerial computing can play an important role in disaster areas, emergency relief and battlefields, which are lacking available terrestrial infrastructures. Despite its many advantages, aerial computing also presents some challenges. For instance, due to the high mobility of drones, aerial computing is significantly different from terrestrial computing. Specifically, wireless links to/from a drone vary significantly over time, thus requiring elaborate design of the drone’s trajectory, task allocation and resource management. Meanwhile, in order to ensure low transmission energy consumption and task delay, computing and communication resources also need to be precisely allocated over time. The energy efficient trajectory plan of a drone is very important to extend its service time. In addition, due to the limited computing ability of a single drone, multiple drones are worth considering to simultaneously provide computing service, wherein the movement control, cooperation, and the resource allocation of multiple drones all require elaborate design. This Special Issue (SI) brings together the latest research and innovation on aerial computing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ CFP ] : WFCS 2021 ( Jun. 9th – 11th 2021 LINZ, AUSTRIA ) Datum: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 01:41:25 +0000 Von: Guo Xuanchen <xuanchen.guo(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Guo Xuanchen <xuanchen.guo(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 17th IEEE International Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS) Smart Secure Wireless Meets Wired Factory Communication from Automation to IioT -----------------------------------------------DESCRIPTION-------------------------------------------- The Factory Communication area is facing the leap of new generation wired and wireless technologies e.g. TSN, WiFi6, 5G, and more, expanding from automation to the IIoT. 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. This fact is shown by the local organizer mix of this WFCS which are Johannes Kepler University Linz, Silicon Austria Labs and Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH. The WFCS is supported by IEEE and IES and led by the IEEE TC on Factory Automation, and will be hosted by the Johannes Kepler University Linz. ---------------------------------------------- FOCUS ON----------------------------------------------- Communication Systems and Technologies; Protocols and Standards for Networked Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems; Real-time, Safety, Security and Maintenance of Automation Systems and Networks; applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to enhance and Communication Technologies for Industry 4.0; Low-power and Green Communication in Industry; recent advances in research domains with similar communication requirements. -----------------------------------------SUBMISSION OF PAPERS---------------------------------------- All regular submissions must be up to 8 pages following IEEE conferences template and submitted through EasyChair.
