All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: - Follow Springer LNCS format (see https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) - Up to 12 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references) - Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 12 pages. - Anonymization: Reviewing will be DOUBLE-BLIND: - Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission. - Refer to your prior work in the third person. - Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away. - If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs. - Submit via HotCRP: https://hotcrp.cs.umd.edu/pam2021/ **Ethical Considerations** Following the standard set by the Internet Measurement Conference (from which we base this section), papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) 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 users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation. When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a subsection (in the main paper, not in the Appendix) describing these issues. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatted/) for further information on ethical principles and the Allman/Paxson IMC 2007 paper (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) for guidance on ethical data sharing. Note that submitting research for approval by each author's institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient -- in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. **Awards** There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The **Best Paper Award** will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. The *Best Dataset Award* will be given to the best paper that makes datasets and corresponding code available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted. These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g., Github, Bitbucket, or CRAWDAD). **Organizers** - General Chair: Oliver Hohlfeld (Brandenburg University of Technology) - Program Committee Chairs: Andra Lutu (Telefónica) and Dave Levin (University of Maryland) Pedro Casas PAM 2021 Publicity Chair PEDRO CASAS Senior Scientist Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Giefinggasse 4 | 1210 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at/> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Molisch, University of Southern California* *Title:*Millimeter-wave and THz channels and systems for high-mobility environments *Abstract: *Millimeter-wave based communications is one of the key components of 5G. Among other applications, high-rate communications for both passengers and control systems in vehicular and train environments are envisioned. This talk will start out by discussion propagation channels in high-mobility environments, describing both recent measurements and suitable models. This will be followed by a discussion of antenna and MIMO technology for such systems, their complexity, and sensitivity to mobility. +++ *Yonina Eldar, Weizmann Institute of Science* *Title:*Deep Analog-to-Digital Compression with Applications to Automotive Radar and Massive MIMO *Abstract:*The famous Shannon-Nyquist theorem has become a landmark in analog to digital conversion and the development of digital signal processing algorithms. However, in many modern applications, the signal bandwidths have increased tremendously, while the acquisition capabilities have not scaled sufficiently fast. Furthermore, the resulting high rate digital data requires storage, communication and processing at very high rates which is computationally expensive and requires large amounts of power. In this talk we consider a general framework for sub-Nyquist sampling and processing in space, time and frequency which allows to dramatically reduce the number of antennas, sampling rates, number of bits and band occupancy in a variety of applications. It also allows for the development of efficient joint radar-communication systems. Our framework relies on exploiting signal structure, quantization and the processing task in both standard processing and in deep learning networks. We consider applications of these ideas to a variety of problems in wireless communications, efficient massive MIMO systems, automotive radar and ultrasound imaging and show several demos of real-time sub-Nyquist prototypes including a wireless ultrasound probe, sub-Nyquist automotive radar, cognitive radio and radar, dual radar-communication systems, analog precoding, sparse antenna arrays, and a deep Viterbi decoder. +++ *Mohamed-Slim Alouini, Abdullah University of Science and Technology* ** *Title: * What should 6G be? *Abstract:* The role of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) in bringing about a revolution in almost all aspects of human life needs no introduction. It is indeed a well-known fact that the transmission of the information at a rapid pace has transformed all spheres of human life such as economy, education, and health to name a few. In this context, and as the standardization of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been completed, and 5G networks are in their early stage of deployment, the research visioning and planning of the sixth generation (6G) of WCSs are being initiated. 6G is expected to be the next focus in wireless communication and networking and aim to provide new superior communication services to meet the future hyper-connectivity demands in the 2030s. In addition, keeping in mind that urbanized populations have been the major beneficiary of the advances offered by the previous generations of WCSs and motivated by the recently adopted united nations sustainability development goals intended to be achieved by the year 2030, 6G networks are anticipated to democratize the benefits of ICT. Indeed these advantages are still not experienced by almost 4 billion people in the world who are still “unconnected or under-connected” and who suffer as such from the “digital divide”, a term coined in order to emphasize the lack of ICT infrastructure in many parts of the world. Given this background, this talk aims to (i) provide an envisioned picture of 6G, (ii) serve as a research guideline in the beyond 5G era, and (iii) go over the recently proposed solutions to provide high-speed connectivity in under-covered areas in order to serve and contribute to the development of far-flung regions. +++ *Wen Tong, Huawei Wireless*** *Title: *The Research Directions for 6G *Abstract: *In this talk, we present our view on 6G technologies, its trends and research directions. Wireless technology have gone through several major revolutions and it is always the case that the disruptive technologies enable the wireless innovation and market success. As 5G technology enables the digital transformation of every vertical business, we see a radical paradigm shift from the conventional operator-centric view to an inclusive prosumer-centric view, and the new approach to a federated networking and service provisioning, redefining the smart connectivity infrastructure as a much more dynamic composition of all resources of participating users. This include the spectrum usage reform and infrastructure sharing, we present four fundamental changes in terms of 6G networking and associated research challenges. The other aspect for 6G is a total unification of mobile, satellite, network, cloud, cloud-edge computing, ML, AI, end-to-end cybersecurity, innovative devices, Industry IoT, cell-less MIMO and Terahertz Communication to support the prosumer-centric model, in this architecture, we list a few technology enablers, such a mmWave-THz sensing, machine learning-training DNN to enable semantic communications as intelligent connectivity, the research in these areas will shape the radio access for 6G. Since the 6G is future platform to enable new innovations with its state-of-the-art capabilities, we provide an analysis of the key-performance indicators for 6G. In addition, we share our view of the potential impact of Quantum computing, mega-satellite-constellation and neural-center (instead of data center) to 6G. <BACK> <#Top> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *20**20 IEEE 3rd Connected and Automated Vehicles Symposium* *IEEE CAVS 2020 -- Fully Virtual --* ****Will Now Open 18 November 2020****** *IEEE CAVS 2020 Sponsors* *Technical co-sponsors: ITS Canada, Transportation Association of Canada* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *Guidelines for recording presentations can be found at:* events.vtsociety.org/ieee-cavs-2020/authors/virtual-presentation-guideline/ <http://send.vts.ieee.org/link.cfm?r=2YOlbDhEw1Nb9yXgRrXupw~~&pe=iZjZvWs-Mx_…> *Registration is open.

System level architecture choices will mitigate the adoption and proliferation of cooperative perception into the OEM automotive market. Existing automotive ecosystem dynamics will significantly inform the requisite component module boundaries, interfaces, and data standards for threshold efficacy. This presentation will explore the ecosystem dynamics and propose architecture theory to minimize barrier to entry of cooperative perception into the ADAS and self-driving market. +++ *Prashant Tiwari* General Manager, Intelligent Connected Systems Division *Title: CAV Enabling Mobility Services Opportunities* Abstract: The transportation industry currently is undergoing a huge transition – estimated by some to be the biggest transformation in its history. Vehicles are increasingly being equipped with embedded connectivity and automated technologies and Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) predicts that by 2025 CAV market will be $150B with more that 100 million CAV on the road. This has enabled several Mobility as a Service (MaaS) opportunities. Analysts indicate that connected car capabilities already influence 6 out of 10 vehicle purchases, giving vehicle manufacturers the ability to open new revenue streams, diversify core activities, and improve profit margins by selling software and connected services. Processing the big data from connected vehicles is one of the big challenges all automakers are currently facing. But these challenges also provide opportunities to build hyper connected cyber-physical systems (also called Digital Twin) with several interesting use cases like personalized intelligent driving and smart traffic management using CAVs. +++ *Richard Yu* Professor, School of Information Technology *Title: Internet of Intelligence for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles* *Abstract: *In the era of the Internet of information, we have gone through layer, cross-layer, and cross-system design paradigms. The “curse of modeling” and “curse of dimensionality” of the current Internet of information have resulted in the popularity of using artificial intelligence (AI) for the Internet of information in the recent years. However, many significant research challenges remain to be addressed for the Internet of information to enable connected and autonomous vehicles. In a larger time scale, humans’ cooperation has gone through “grid of transportation”, “grid of energy”, and “the Internet of information” paradigms. The next cooperation paradigm could be “the Internet of intelligence”, where intelligence can be easily obtained like information and energy. The Internet of intelligence can become an important enabler for connected and autonomous vehicles. In this talk, we will present some recent advances in these areas. Then, we will discuss some open issues and challenges that need to be addressed in the future. <BACK> <#Top> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference 2020* *IEEE VPPC 2020* *-- Fully Virtual --* ****Will Now Open 18 November 2020****** * * *Guidelines for recording presentations can be found at: events.vtsociety.org/vppc2020/authors/virtual-presentation-guidelines/ <http://send.vts.ieee.org/link.cfm?r=2YOlbDhEw1Nb9yXgRrXupw~~&pe=i8U9-G0-mxh…>* *Registration is now open.

The key components of an Electric Vehicle are the battery and the motor drive. Energy storages such as batteries and super-capacitors are now the major units. Energy cell packaging is now a new direction. The use of energy cells to integrate with the vehicle body has been reported and suggests good potential for energy management. The energy management and balance is now a necessary component to manage the energy cells. Besides the energy storage and the traction motor and drives, there are numerous motors and actuators used in modern electric vehicles. One of them is an active suspension system to replace the conventional hydraulic system. The In-wheel motor is based on integrating the motor and wheel into a single unit that increase the power density and presents a real 4-wheel drive. The skid steering can, therefore, be realized. Also, the anti-lock braking (ABS) is an all-electric braking system, and replaces the conventional hydraulic system in ABS. An extensive overview of the latest electric vehicle technology is presented. The talk covers the major advanced components of an electric vehicle and the technology and research related to the development, and its associated power electronics development. Finally, the talk is concluded with an outlook on future vehicles. +++ *Ray Ding* Founder and Chief Executive Office *Simon Hou* Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer *Title: The application of IoT technologies in the field of EV charging* *Abstract: *IoT- Internet of Things-is proven on both the vehicle electronic and Consumer electronics industry by its leader, Tesla, and Xiaomi. As an important role in the new energy vehicle ecosystem, EV charging station is welcoming the intelligent trend of IoT as well. Smart charging stations utilizing IOT technologies will enhance the user experience, enable great expansibility to CPO, finally providing an intelligence information port or the entire energy system. Thanks to IoT hardware infrastructure on our smart charging station. We designed an embedded system based on the charging scene, enabling our device to achieve control, interaction, and internet communication functions on a tiny PCB. We also make a reasonable cut to the system and application software to achieve higher efficiency. As the advantages of IoT integration, the simplification of the supply-chain, the reduction of cost, and the reduction of the marginal cost of software also make the profit of charging station providers possible. Finally, we believe that the smart charging station will be used as an infrastructure construction to welcome the new energy era. +++ *Jianghua Feng* Vice President and CEO *Title: Virtual rail intelligent express system* *Abstract:*Due to the role of track guidance, bearing and constraint, rail trains have the advantages of large volume and high efficiency, and have been the backbone of urban transportation for a long time. However, due to the harsh smoothness and other requirements of the track, the system construction, operation and maintenance are complicated and costly. Therefore, the industry has been exploring new types of trains, simplifying the requirements of vehicles on the track structure, and innovating straddle-type monorail trains, guideway type rubber trolleybuses, etc., so as to change the solid track from double track to monorail. Whether the dependence on the physical track can be completely overturned is a new technical challenge. The virtual track intelligent express system is the first to create a new multi-group articulated rubber-tyred train based on the virtual track, which completely replaces the physical track through technologies such as path perception and active guidance control. Since 2010, it has undergone an iterative innovation process such as concept research, principle verification, prototype testing, and engineering demonstrations, it made its world premiere in 2017. This system creates a new rail transit system, which can be widely used in the network connection or extension of metropolitan rail transit, the construction of backbone transportation systems in small and medium cities, and the operation of special lines such as tourist attractions. Compared with trams, the overall cost is only about 1/3, the construction period is only about 1/2, it can be flexibly configured and quickly form a transportation network. Taking the 17.7km T1 line of Sichuan Yibin, where the system is applied, as an example, it saves about 1.7 billion yuan in investment compared with the tram system. In the year of opening (2019), the city was promoted to rank first in the congestion reduction rate in China. At present, the system has successfully passed the extreme cold and high heat extreme tests in Harbin and Qatar, and has become the traffic (connection) solution for the 2022 World Cup. The emergence of this system has injected strong original innovation power into the diversified and deep development of the world’s rail transit. It has outstanding characteristics and obvious advantages. It has a broad market application space in the future and has great potential for sustainable development. +++ Luis (Nando) Ochoa Professor, Smart Grids and Power Systems *Title: Making Electric Vehicles and the Grid Work Together* *Abstract: *The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) will pose significant technical and economic challenges on the power grid, particularly on very infrastructure they are connected to the electric distribution network. These networks have been traditionally designed to have no or limited controllability and, hence, are largely unmonitored.They will become the bottlenecks and therefore understanding how to best integrate EVs is critical to facilitate the electrification of our transport. This keynote will discuss the impacts of EVs and the challenges faced by distribution companies. Furthermore, it will present some of the findings of the large-scale UK trial “My Electric Avenue” in which more than 200 EVs were monitored for over a year to understand usage patterns as well as to test the effectiveness of EV charging point management to avoid network issues. The keynote will also provide an overview of the challenges brought by fast-charging stations and the need for future cities to have holistic planning approaches that involve traffic flows. +++ *Alexander M. Wyglinski* Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Robotics Engineering *Title: Bumblebee-Inspired Connected Vehicles: What’s All The Buzz About* *Abstract:*Wireless connectivity is quickly becoming a critical element in future transportation systems, especially with respect to self-driving cars and various levels of vehicular autonomy. Given the complex and highly time-varying environments existing on busy roadways, having each vehicle possessing real-time situational awareness is essential for performing complex functions, such as autonomous lane-changing, traffic intersection management, and platooning. Although there already exists a variety of different sensors that can gather data about the vehicular environment in order to obtain real-time situation awareness, such as LIDAR, RADAR, and vision systems, these sensors can only collect this data via line-of-sight (LOS). On the other hand, wireless connectivity is not constrained to LOS data gathering and can greatly increase the real-time situational awareness of each vehicle on the road, enhancing its performance and increasing driver/passenger safety. As the number of vehicles on the road become connected to each other, this information sharing will evolve into a Vehicular Internet-of-Things (VIOT) environment. To support the VIOT ecosystem, adequate wireless spectrum is needed to enable this connectivity between vehicles in real-time as they are operating on the road in complex conditions. To achieve this, Vehicular Dynamic Spectrum Access, or VDSA, can be employed, where unoccupied wireless spectrum is temporarily accessed by non-licensed users in order to support data communications during that time interval. Compared to conventional DSA techniques, VDSA needs to be capable of handling significant spectral availability variations during a transmission. Past research has explored the use of VDSA in television white space spectral environments as well as the implementation of VDSA algorithms using machine learning techniques. However, recently a new approach to VDSA has been proposed where each vehicle performs VDSA using an algorithm based on bumblebee-inspired resource foraging. In this talk, the fundamentals of how bumblebee-inspired VDSA will be presented, with several examples shown in order to demonstrate the performance of this approach. <BACK> <#Top> footer Spacer Spacer Copyright © 2011 IEEE To ensure delivery, please add info(a)ieee.org <mailto:info@ieee.org> to your email address book or Safe Sender List.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: China Communications (IF: 2.024) Feature Topic on “Collaborative Intelligence for Vehicular Internet of Things “ Datum: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 13:56:50 +0900 Von: Celimuge Wu <celimuge(a)UEC.AC.JP> Antwort an: Celimuge Wu <celimuge(a)UEC.AC.JP> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers -- China Communications Feature Topic, Vol.18, No.7, 2021 Collaborative Intelligence for Vehicular Internet of Things http://www.cic-chinacommunications.cn/EN/column/item153.shtml Future vehicular Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems feature a large number of devices and multi-access environments where different types of communication, computing, and storage resources must be efficiently utilized. At the same time, novel services, such as cooperative autonomous driving and intelligent transport systems (ITS), that demand unprecedented high accuracy, ultra-low latency, and large bandwidth, are emerging. These services also have an extreme variance in user requirements and resource demands with respect to time, location, and context. Hence, current research is no longer confined to improving reliable communication and system operation in the presence of highly mobile vehicles, which has been the main focus in the past. It is therefore important to empower future vehicular IoT systems with advanced features, such as real-time reactive and proactive cooperation and coordination among different agents (or decision makers), including vehicles, roadside units, base stations, pedestrians, and other entities. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches have been attracting great interest in empowering computer systems. Some collaborative learning approaches, such as federated learning and multi-agent systems, have been used to reduce network traffic and improve learning efficiency of some smartphone applications. In vehicular IoT systems, collaborative intelligence can be achieved via an efficient collaboration among heterogeneous entities, including vehicles, edges, and cloud. This special issue will focus on the technical challenges and the synergistic effect of collaboration among heterogeneous entities and AI in enabling intelligent perception of environment, intelligent networking, and intelligent processing of big data in vehicular IoT systems. We invite researchers to contribute their original research articles that will facilitate the development of vehicular IoT based on collaborative intelligence.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] 5TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2021) Datum: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:23:53 -0500 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG We sincerely apologize if you receive multiple copied of this CFP. ========================================================================= 5TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2021) 10-13 May 2021, Melbourne, Australia In conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2021 URL: https://icfec2021.eeecs.qub.ac.uk ========================================================================= We are delighted to invite you for the 5th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Melbourne, Australia. The conference will be held as part of and in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2021, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. INTRODUCTION Billions of devices and sensors ranging from user gadgets to more complex systems with sensing and actuating capabilities, such as power grids or vehicles, from the physical world are getting connected to the Internet. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous devices and sensors while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the devices and sensors are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology be closer to devices and sensors, such as home router, gateways or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as 'Fog/Edge computing'. The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, make use of opportunistic and cheap computing, and leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which requires the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. Extensions to current programming and storage models are required and new abstractions that will allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven systems need to be developed. Addressing security, privacy and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context for mobile, transient and hardware constrained resources. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and machine/deep learning need to be supported over such platforms. CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over system software and domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for Fog/Edge infrastructures * Programming models for Fog/Edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for Fog/Edge computing * Scheduling for Fog/Edge infrastructures * Distributed and federated machine learning on Fog/Edge * Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures * Legal issues and business aspects of Fog/Edge computing * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing * Modeling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments * Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue.

The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) IEEE First International Workshop on Deep Learning in Pervasive Computing (PerDL) https://sites.google.com/view/perdl2021/homepage The PerDL workshop aims to bring together practitioners and researchers working on pervasive computing and on deep learning, by soliciting contributions on the following topics: advances in pervasive and distributed deep learning techniques and algorithms; theories, models and novel algorithms for rendering deep learning suitable to pervasive and distributed computing; novel applications of deep learning techniques in the context of pervasive and distributed computing; technological innovations making possible the integration of deep learning and pervasive computing; fog and edge computing techniques for deep learning; research to make the computational complexity of deep learning methods suitable for distributed devices; studies to efficiently distribute and retrieve great amounts of data useful for deep learning algorithms; deep learning techniques to improve the performance of pervasive and parallel computations. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The 5th International Workshop on Annotation of User Data for Ubiquitous Systems (ARDUOUS ) https://text2hbm.org/arduous/ Labelling user data is a central part of the design and evaluation of pervasive systems that aim to support the user through situation-aware reasoning. It is essential both in designing and training the system to recognise and reason about the situation, either through the definition of a suitable situation model in knowledge-driven applications, or through the preparation of training data for learning tasks in data-driven models. Hence, the quality of annotations can have a significant impact on the performance of the derived systems. Labelling is also vital for validating and quantifying the performance of applications. With pervasive systems relying increasingly on large datasets for designing and testing models of users' activities, the process of data labelling is becoming a major concern for the community. Even more, with the increase of pervasive applications relying on annotated data, it becomes important to develop standards and normalisation methodologies for transferability of annotated data across different applications. To address the problem, this year's workshop focuses on methods for standardisation and normalisation in annotation practices and possible roadmaps and good practices in addressing the associated challenges. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The 5th Workshop on emotion awareness for pervasive computing - beyond traditional approaches (EmotionAware) https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/emotionaware/ An important goal of pervasive computing is to integrate computer devices into the users' everyday life seamlessly. This allows context-aware applications to gather information about the users to support them in their daily tasks. A newly attractive source of information for pervasive computing is provided by mobile devices, wearable devices, and pervasive sensors able to detect the emotional state of the users. In many real-world scenarios, it is essential to use wearable sensors, embedded in mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches, to measure the emotional state of the user. This would help to understand how emotions influence processes such as decision making and reasoning. We aim to have unique contributions addressing this challenge and to provide a discussion space to facilitate collaboration among researchers interested in emotion recognition for pervasive computing.

Pervasive sensors, actuators, and IoT installations are able to provide key information about the environment and those who traverse it, while mobile devices enable general-purpose computing on the move, cutting edge sensing, and persistent connectivity. They are also compact, widespread and socially acceptable, and therefore well suited to provide assistance everywhere and at all times. These qualities can be leveraged to achieve ubiquitous assistance for everyday activities such as mobility, information access, interaction with the environment, or with other people. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) International Workshop on Mobile and Pervasive Internet of Things (PerIoT) https://periot.github.io/2021/ In recent years, the Internet has become increasingly pervasive allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere to achieve pervasiveness and mobility.

26 Sep '20

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Yang, Qing" <Qing.Yang(a)UNT.EDU> Gesendet: 25. September 2020 22:28:54 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The Sixth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing 2020 The Sixth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing <http://acm-ieee-sec.org/2021/call%20for%20papers.php> San Jose, CA, November-December, 2021 SEC takes a broad view of edge computing and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice that embrace 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-e valuated, 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 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 Abstract and title registration January 14, 2021 Paper submission January 21, 2021 Notification of acceptance April 2, 2021 Camera ready May 14, 2021 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.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, the conference will be held virtually on December 14-16, 2020. IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. ============================================================================= IEEE DependSys 2020 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and Engineering Index (EI). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in 14+ SCI & EI indexed prestigious journals (confirmed). 1.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] RoboCom’21 - IEEE CCNC 2021 WKSHPS: 1st International Workshop on Communication and Networking for Swarms Robotics Datum: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 12:51:07 +0200 Von: Angelo Trotta <angelo.trotta(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Angelo Trotta <angelo.trotta(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies if you received duplicate copies of this CFP) We cordially invite you to submit your paper to the *1st International Workshop on Communication and Networking for Swarms Robotics* (RoboCom 2021) Held in conjunction with the IEEE CCNC 2021 (https://ccnc2021.ieee-ccnc.org) 9 January 2021, Virtual Conference Website: http://robocom2021.nws.cs.unibo.it/ - Submission deadline: October 16th, 2020 - Notification: November 2nd, 2020 - Camera ready: November 20th, 2020 - Workshop Day: January 9th, 2021 EDAS link for submissions: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27779&track=103639 =========================== CALL FOR TECHNICAL PAPERS =========================== Recent advances in the field of telecommunications and electronics have led to the proliferation of autonomous robots in numerous novel application fields, from emergency situations to military applications, from infrastructure inspection to ambient monitoring services, where the utilization of multiple robots is essential in order to accomplish the desired task. Recent works have demonstrated the challenges of coordinating multiple robots in order to deploy robot networks with self-configuration and self-healing capabilities to guarantee service continuity, also in case of failures. Starting from the unique requirements of a multi robot system, Swarm Robotics is a complex approach that requires an understanding of how to define distributed systems to define self-organization behaviors. Swarm Robotics studies how to make robots collaborate and collectively solve a task where every robot contributes to the general task sharing the same higher-level objectives. To this end, communication wireless networks must be specifically designed in order to support the cooperation and collaboration inside the swarm. This workshop invites original research articles and review articles that focus on communication networking problems in swarm robotics. =========================== TOPICS =========================== - Communication Models and Protocols for Swarm Robotics - Delay-Tolerant Applications for Swarm Robotics - Fog and Edge Computing in Swarm Robotics - 5G Integration with Swarm Robotics - Integration of Unmanned Aerial, Ground, and Underwater Vehicles in Swarm Robotics - Localization, Navigation, and Dynamic Path Planning in Swarm Robotics - Cooperative Control of Multiple Robots - Security and Privacy in Swarm Robotics - The Internet of Things (IoT) in Swarm Robotics - Swarm Intelligence and Nature-Inspired Algorithm in Swarm Robotics - Artificial Intelligence Applications in Swarm Robotics - Continual Learning and Adaptation for Swarm Robotics =========================== IMPORTANT DATES =========================== - Submission deadline: October 16th, 2020 - Notification: November 2nd, 2020 - Camera ready: November 20th, 2020 - Workshop Day: January 9th, 2021 =========================== FETAURES =========================== - Best-selected papers related to mobile fog and edge computing applied to drone swarm will be invited to submit an extended paper to the Special Issue on “Mobile Fog and Edge Computing in Drone Swarms”, MDPI Drones journal - Best-selected papers related to swarm robotics will be invited to submit an extended paper to the Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Swarm Robotics”, MDPI Applied Sciences journal =========================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE =========================== General Chairs: - Angelo Trotta, University of Bologna, Italy - Gökhan Seçinti, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - Nicola Roberto Zema, University of Paris-Saclay, France - Zhangyu Guan, University at Buffalo, USA Technical Program Committee (to be completed) - Atakan Aral, Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Berk Canberk, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - Brian M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Last Call][** 14+ Special Issues **][** Virtual **] IEEE DependSys 2020: The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications Datum: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 10:13:32 +0800 Von: Jun Feng <junfeng989(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Jun Feng <junfeng989(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ** Last Call ** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call For Papers ============================================================================= The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications (IEEE DependSys 2020), 14-16 December 2020 [**Virtual Conference**][**14+ Special Issues**][**Submission Deadline: Sep. 25**] http://cse.stfx.ca/~dependsys/2020/index.html **NEWS** The IEEE DependSys 2020 Conference was planned to be held in Fiji, December 14-16, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, the conference will be held virtually on December 14-16, 2020. IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on. ============================================================================= IEEE DependSys 2020 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and Engineering Index (EI). Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in 14+ SCI & EI indexed prestigious journals (confirmed). 1.
