-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 28th, 2020, EAI ADHOCNETS 2020 - 12th EAI International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks Datum: Wed, 8 Jul 2020 22:55:43 +0000 Von: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> Antwort an: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 12th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS 2020) November 17-18, 2020 (will be held virtually) https://adhocnets.org/<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fadhocnets…> Paper submission deadline: July 28, 2020 (extended) EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event. EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions.

Today’s cloud-centric paradigm, however, does not genetically support trust management and privacy preservation; it also does not encourage information sharing in multi-stakeholder settings through incentives and payment mechanisms. As a result, complementary technologies that can offer to ensure data protection, incentivize information exchange, and reduce sharing and maintenance costs are highly desired. We have seen the increasing interest in tackling such problems by using emerging blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies. BlockSys’20 aims to set up a stage for industry and academia to share wins and lessons: we solicit high quality research and position papers that address opportunities and challenges at the intersection of networked sensing/IoT and blockchain. We also welcome on-going work, demos and tutorials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Blockchain in networked sensor system and other IoT environments * Blockchain in 5G systems * Blockchain in smart cities * Blockchain in edge computing * Blockchain in mobile systems and general ad-hoc networks * Blockchain in vehicular networks * Blockchain in intelligent supply chain * New protocols and consensus algorithms providing fault-tolerance for sensing and IoT systems * Blockchain-based sensor data-tampering protection * Security issues of using blockchain * Incentives and reward mechanisms for sharing sensing data * Blockchain in participatory sensing and crowd-sourcing * Smart contract design and implementation in sensing systems * Formal verification on smart contracts in sensing systems * Decentralized sensing data storage * Decentralized sensing data transmission * Performance issues of using blockchain * Scalability issues of using blockchain * Using blockchain in resource/energy-constraint systems Contact: blocksys.inform(a)gmail.com Organizers General Chairs Bhaskar Krishnamachari (University of Southern California) Salil Kanhere (The University of New South Wales) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extended- Call for Papers for IEEE Communication Magazine FT on Communication for RAS Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 12:49:17 +0100 Von: Ali Zaidi <s.alirzaidi(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ali Zaidi <s.alirzaidi(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Communication Technologies for Robotics and Autonomous Systems https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-communications-magazine /cfp/communication-technologies-robotics-and Distributed intelligence in robotics and autonomous systems applications heavily relies upon seamless wireless connectivity. In particular, the emerging cloud robotics paradigm aims to employ communication technologies for offloading high complexity computation tasks to the edge/cloud platform. Cloud robotics is considered as one of the mainstream use-case for 5G and beyond networks which requires ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Currently, the design of URLLC protocols has been explored by the research community in an application-agnostic manner. While promising, these horizontal design approaches can only provide limited performance gains. Consequently, alternative approaches that are based on co-design of control systems, inference engines, and communication protocols must be explored. These new approaches are envisioned to enable the rapid deployment of new robotics applications. While new robotics applications are benefiting from the advancements in communication technology, communication networks are also hugely benefiting from the recent advancement in mobile robotics platforms. Low-cost commercially available robotics platforms are increasingly being employed for the rapid deployment of mobile connectivity services. The applications for such deployments range from flash crowd events to public safety systems. Integration of robotics and autonomous systems into communication network architecture while addressing issues such as interference and mobility management is therefore as crucial. This feature topic (FT) aims to provide a platform for presenting recent advancements that tackle the design and implementation of: i. communication protocols for robotics and autonomous systems; and ii. architectures/deployment modalities that exploit robotics and autonomous systems for provisioning communication services. This FT uniquely calls for the study of both wireless communication solutions for and through robotic platforms. Consequently, the topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: • Spectrum and Resource management for MEC enabled robotics applications; • Co-design of control, communication, and edge inference mechanisms; • Network slicing for robotics applications; • Design and implementation of mobility aware communication protocols; • Design and development of high precision localization services; • Coverage aware trajectory planners for robotics and autonomous systems; • Network architecture with mobile base-stations and management protocols; • Security and resilience mechanisms for MEC enabled robotics applications; • Optimization of connectivity protocol for Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR) robotics applications; • Time-sensitive and Deterministic Wireless Networks; Important Dates: Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15th July 2020 (Firm) Decision Notification: 1 October 2020 Final Manuscript Due: 15 November 2020 Publication Date: January 2021 Guest Editors: Syed Ali Raza Zaidi, University of Leeds, UK Ursula Challita, Ericsson, Sweden Jemin Lee, DGIST, South Korea Moe Z. Win, MIT, USA Submission Guidelines Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Manuscript Submission Guidelines. Please, check these guidelines carefully before submitting since submissions not complying with them will be administratively rejected without review. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted by the deadline through Manuscript Central. Select the “December 2020/Robotics & Autonomous” topic from the drop-down menu of Topic/Series titles.

02 Jul '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - ACM MobiCom 2021 Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 10:24:28 +0900 Von: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call For Papers – ACM MobiCom 2021* *Important Dates* *Summer* *Winter* *Abstract Registration * August 14, 2020 23:59 EDT March 19, 2021 23:59 EDT *Paper Submission* August 21, 2020 23:59 EDT March 26, 2021 23:59 EDT *Notification of Acceptance * November 13, 2020 June 11, 2021 *Important Changes* · *Double-blind.* This CFP has updated its double-blind review policy and particularly added how to handle preprints (such as arXiv). Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Conflict-of-interest (COI).* It is the authors’ responsibility to claim the true COIs from the TPC members. Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Resubmission.* We have added a new policy on previous submissions, which may request the authors to additionally submit the summary of changes from the previous version. · *Anonymous shepherding.* Note that MobiCom performs an anonymous and rigorous shepherding process for all conditionally accepted papers. Shepherded papers will be accepted only after completing a successful shepherding process, which usually takes 4-6 weeks. The ACM MobiCom conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the field of wireless networking and mobile computing. MobiCom solicits papers that address important research challenges, including but not limited to communication networks, energy, computing, security, and user experience. Successful papers should propose novel ideas to attack such problems through rigorous analysis, system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems, and applications. We want MobiCom ’21 to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. The more novel the concept, the harder it can be to fully develop or evaluate all aspects, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss not only the significance but also the limitations of their ideas. We strongly encourage authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. MobiCom continues the two-deadline model and the reviewing process with a one-shot revision to improve the quality and timeliness of publications. *Topics* We invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: · Applications of machine learning to mobile/wireless research · Backscatter communication and wireless power · Edge computing · Embedded and energy-harvesting systems · Experimental platforms and infrastructures for wireless/mobile research · Implanted and wearable computing · Intersection between mobile/wireless research, cloud computing, and software-defined networking · Long-range/Low-power wide-area wireless networking · Low-latency networking · Machine-to-machine communications · Millimeter wave and terahertz communications · Mobile data science & analysis · Mobile health · Mobile networks (5G and beyond) · Mobile web, video, virtual reality, and other applications · Novel applications of wireless signals · Robotic and drone-based networking · Security and privacy issues/solutions for mobile/wireless systems · Sensing with radio, light, sound, and acoustics · Ubiquitous computing and mobile human computer interaction · Visible light communications · Wireless localization and tracking In addition to *full* research papers as described above, MobiCom also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear a "Verification:" as a prefix. Two Deadlines and One-shot Revision MobiCom ’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 MobiCom conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: · *Accept*: Accepted papers will be presented at the MobiCom conference and appear as part of the proceedings and the MobiCom website. Note all the papers in this category will initially be *conditionally accepted*. The papers that go through a successful *anonymous* shepherding process will eventually be accepted. · *Reject*: Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted until 11 months have passed since the last MobiCom deadline they were submitted to. We strongly encourage the authors to address the feedback they got before re-submitting the paper to MobiCom. · *One-Shot-Revision*: Papers, where a revision is required, will be given specific action points and can be resubmitted for the *next* deadline. For such papers, the reviewers will articulate a maximum of three major changes/clarifications that they would like to see. After the resubmission, the paper will be evaluated based on whether the authors have properly addressed the reviewers’ requests. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results and could take more than 4-6 weeks. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to MobiCom and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. Additional details on the paper submission process can be found at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2021/cfp.html. Please refer to the Call for Papers page on the ACM MobiCom 2021 website for important information regarding the paper submission and review process. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions. Topics: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP][Deadline extended to July 3] IEEE ICNP 2020 Workshop AIMCOM2 Datum: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 02:18:36 +0100 Von: LI Rongpeng <rongpeng.vip(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: LI Rongpeng <rongpeng.vip(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, Just FYI -- the submission deadline of *IEEE ICNP 2020 Workshop AIMCOM2* has been extended to 3 July. Please accept our sincere apologies for sending multiple copies of this CFP. Best regards, Rongpeng --- *Riding with AI towards Mission-Critical Communications and Computing at the Edge(AIMCOM2, https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html <https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html>) * *Aim and Scope* The ever-growing mission-critical services, like the Internet of vehicles, AR/VR and haptic communications, have sprung recently and required the communications and computing framework to be more reliable, efficient and secure. However, it raises severe challenges due to the spatial and/or temporal diversity of the entities possibly involved in communications and computing, such as the possibly high mobility of nodes, the varying and uneven-distributed number of devices, and the limitations of propagation media and other resources. To address these challenges, one potential solution is to provision at the edge (i.e., in proximity of end devices), where the demands from end devices can be served locally in real-time, rather than being served by the remote cloud through latency-plagued core networks. But the occurrence of mobile edge poses many new challenges in terms of deployment, management and coordination of the heterogeneous and distributed resources. The artificial intelligence (AI) for mission-critical communications and computing is expected to fundamentally address these increasing challenges. Various issues like edge intelligence, AI-assisted PHY design, AI-based resource management are being explosively explored to shorten the transmission latency. Approaches like federated learning and distributed learning are being heavily investigated for superior performance of communications and computing at the edge as well. Faced with security concerns, the interpretability of AI in the context of communications and networks is also a fast-developing hot topic. This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in this field. We invite researchers to contribute their novel research results that advance the development of mission-critical communications and computations at the edge. *Topic of Interests* This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in AI-powered mission-critical communications, networking and computing. Topics of interests include, but not limited to, - Edge intelligence for mission-critical communications and networking - AI-assisted PHY design for mission-critical communications - AI-based resource management for mission-critical communications and computing - Trustworthy AI for mission-critical communications and networks - Network slicing for mission-critical service provisioning - Distributed Learning for mission-critical computing - Evolutionary models for mission-critical communications and computing - Learning theory for mission-critical communications and computing - Age of information theory and algorithm for mission-critical communications and computing *Important Dates* Paper submission deadline: June 26, 2020 *Extended to July 3* Notification of acceptance: August 3, 2020 Camera-ready copy due: August 24, 2020 Workshop date: October 13, 2020 *Workshop Chairs* Jon Crowcroft, Cambridge University, UK Shuguang Cui, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), China Hulya Seferoglu, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA *Workshop Program Committee Chairs* Rongpeng Li, Zhejiang University, China Salim El Rouayheb, Rutgers University, USA Venkat Dasari, CCDC Army Research Laboratory Meddhi Bennis, University of Oulu, Finland Macro Di Renzo, CentraleSupelec, France *Workshop Publicity Chairs* Xianfu Chen, VTT, Finland Guoru Ding, Army Engineering University, China *Submission guidelines* All submitted papers must adhere to https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/submission.html instructions for format except in the following aspects. Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages, including all figures, tables, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Submissions should be in IEEE Computer Society format, and include authors’ names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IEEE Xplore. Please submit your paper via https://aimcom2.hotcrp.com Please make note about the possibility of the conference and, therefore, the workshop going virtual as per https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/cfp.html, that is, We are closely monitoring the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on conferences and travel. We also recognize the legitimate concerns of authors and participants regarding their own health and safety. While we prefer to have an in-person conference to the maximum extent possible, we will decide on a particular format for the conference later based on information available closer to the conference dates. Regardless of the eventual format for the conference, we will allow authors to present their accepted work remotely. ---- LI Rongpeng, Ph.D Assistant Professor Networked Intelligence for Communications Evolving (NICE) College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering Zhejiang University Email: lirongpeng(a)zju.edu.cn WebSite: https://rongpeng.info/ <https://www.rongpeng.info/li> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
