-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Limei Peng <aurora.plm1(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 22. Juni 2020 01:03:47 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special issue on "Advanced Networking Technologies in the Battle Against the Outbreak of Epidemic Diseases" [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for papers IEEE Transaction on Network Science and Engineering, Special Issue on "Advanced Networking Technologies in the Battle Against the Outbreak of Epidemic Diseases". Deadline: 1 August 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At present, COVID-19 is a major global public health challenge. Worse, this epidemic could last for 2 years, according to US experts. To address it, scientific research institutions attempt to actively leveraged networking technologies to fight the epidemic disease, which have effectively improved the efficiency of epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. For example, in order to make full use of the resources of medical experts, the remote consultation system, supporting live-streaming video and telemedicine by 5G, cloud computing, blockchain and other networking-related technologies, has been quickly implemented in many hospitals all over the word. Although networking technologies have played an important role in the epidemic prevention and control, new challenges arise when billions of people around the world have been ordered to stay at home to help curb the epidemic disease. As the virus spread, the networking demand for HD video conferencing and online teaching has skyrocketed. Moreover, many streaming services — like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, have reduced the quality of their streams to reduce strain on the Internet. Therefore, more advanced networking technologies should be deeply investigated and implemented to help us with fighting COVID-19. This special issue aims to explore recent advances and disseminate state-of-the-art research on advanced networking technologies for epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Advanced networking technologies in public health management - Advanced networking technologies for telemedicine, remote diagnosis and treatment - Cloud-based/Edge-based networking services for online working and learning - Stable heterogeneous networking access for medical information transmission - Edge/mobile computing for detecting and tracking infections - Mobility-aware networking services and applications for epidemic monitoring, prevention and control - Crowdsourcing-based approaches for virus testing and research - Soft caching, proactive caching and other approaches for content-orient networking services - Privacy and security of the medical information transmission The papers for rigorous and well-coordinated peer-review process will be collected through the Manuscript Central System <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnse-cs> for *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering*. *Submission Guidelines* Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically, adhering to the *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering* guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tnse/ieee-transactions-ne…>.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP), Taipei, Taiwan, December 2020

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 20. Juni 2020 18:03:12 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP), Taipei, Taiwan, December 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Call For Papers* IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP) 7-11 December 2020 // Taipei, Taiwan URL: https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo… Unlike existing driving and transportation frameworks, new paradigm shifts and vertical technological revolution in vehicular services have emerged toward unmanned driving, automated transportation, and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). In addition to equipping with advanced environmental sensing/reasoning apparatuses (e.g., high definition (HD) cameras, three-divisional (3D) panorama videos, point-cloud scanners, or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanners) to facilitate autonomous driving, the next-generation driving vehicles may also rely on mobile network infrastructures to achieve ubiquitous and prompt information exchanges. For example, all-optical indicators (such as turn signals and brake light on a vehicle, and traffic lights on intersections) may be replaced by wireless signals through device-to-device (D2D) transmissions. Vehicles may also exchange their perception data or maneuver plans with other vehicles, or acquire information (such as 3D scenes at interactions) from remote cloud servers or road-site units (RSUs) though mobile networks. To align with this trend, 3GPP has released the service requirements to sustain the next-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications in June 2018, which include 28 use cases to involve advanced driving, remote control, vehicle platooning and extended sensors. To support all these use cases, the service requirements of V2X may include extremely high throughput (for 3D panorama videos or point-cloud data), low latency (maneuver data for platooning), high reliability (control signals for remote driving), aperiodic transmissions (for emergency trajectory alignment), and high connection density. Since August 2018, 3GPP has launched the normative works of New Radio (NR) V2X and enhanced ultra-reliable and low latency communication (eURLLC) in 3GPP Release 16. To satisfy these unprecedented V2X requirements, several new features will be introduced in both academic research and industrial practice, including new system architecture of V2X (e.g., mobile edge computing, cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network, network slicing, software-defined network, etc.), new radio access schemes (e.g., millimeter-wave access, sidelink transmissions, URLLC, massive connections), harmonization among various technologies (e.g., point-cloud compression, multi-view video, 3D vision, environmental perception/cognition, machine learning and artificial intelligent), and new designs for security. The Internet of Things evolution has given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart cities, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). The proliferation of IoV-based applications magnifies the importance and irreplaceability of IoV. Considering the dynamic nature of entities in the IoV, there are a series of challenges including security, privacy, decentralization, trust management, and so on. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, we use Vehicle to Vehicle/Others (V2V/V2X) communication to complement on-board sensor inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on sensor data is vulnerable to data. Malicious actors tend to inject false data or alter communication among normal vehicles. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art innovations, research activities (both in academia and industry), and the corresponding standardization impacts of V2X for the next generation driving paradigm, to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost and enrich activities in the area of V2X. This workshop will also provide a forum for exchanging ideas and networking experts/researchers/engineers/students involved in the emerging field of V2X. We want to collate and publish consolidated research results focusing on analyzing security and privacy threats, applying cutting-edge technologies to provide secure and privacy-preserving communications in the relevant fields. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of the area. Topics of interest (include but not limited to) - Machine learning, artificial intelligence, cognition, and optimization technologies for V2X and CAV - Security issues and designs for V2X and CAV - Mobile edge computing (MEC), cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network (LADN), network slicing, software-defined network (SDN) for V2X and CAV - New waveforms, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), sidelink/D2D transmissions, massive/dense connections, full-duplex radios for V2X and CAV - URLLC, machine-type communications (MTC), tactile Internet, and advanced caching for V2X and CAV - Signal processing for V2X and CAV - Point-cloud compression, multi-view video, and 3D panorama enabled technologies for V2X and CAV - Standardizations, field-trials, prototypes, deployment and performance evaluation of V2X and CAV - Secure end-to-end communication protocols in IoVs - Blockchain enabled-security solutions for IoV - Efficient secure data dissemination mechanisms for IoV - Intrusion detection technologies for IoV - New Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and services based on IoV - Optimization techniques for sustainable security solutions - Privacy-preserving data aggregation for IoV - Security in cloud-based IoV - Sustainable security solutions for electric/hybrid vehicles - Trust and reputation in IoV - SDN/NFV based security solutions for IoV Workshop Organizers: + Shih-Chun Lin, North Carolina State University, USA, slin23(a)ncsu.edu + Shao-Yu Lien, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan, sylien(a)ccu.edu.tw + Igor Alvarado, National Instruments, USA, igor.alvarado(a)ni.com + Uttam Ghosh, Vanderbilt University, USA, ghosh.uttam(a)ieee.org + Ali Kashif Bashir, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, dr.alikashif.b(a)ieee.org + Zhaolong Ning, Dalian University of Technology, China, zhaolongning(a)dlut.edu.cn + Joel J.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With recent advances in energy sharing technologies through both wired and wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other mobile agents) within the network. Such pervasive energy sharing models become particularly important for emerging use cases on circular economy paradigms, such as smart climate-neutral cities or clean connected mobility, where valuable resources including energy need to be administered in optimal manners. Energy sharing can be considered for various types of pervasive mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and electric vehicles (EVs). However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different challenges need to be addressed under different optimization goals. This special issue invites technical papers that will address these challenges in pervasive mobile energy sharing in various network domains. The special issue will span the topics including but are not limited to: - Charger scheduling and placement in wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks - Network-wide distributed energy management through energy sharing - Large-scale energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms - Crowd charging solutions for pervasive devices and vehicles - Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing in pervasive mobile networks - Opportunistic energy sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) - Cooperative energy management and storage in pervasive mobile networks - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) mobile energy sharing and trading - Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) mobile energy sharing (for Electric Vehicles) - Ubiquitous dynamic wireless charging of EVs - Pervasive energy sharing and management in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks - UAV-assisted wirelessly powered networks and systems - Near and far-field wireless power transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks - Energy harvesting and sharing for pervasive mobile devices - New models for distributed pervasive batteryless sensing and computation - Energy sharing solutions for green cellular networks - Hybrid mobile energy sharing networks - Privacy and security issues in pervasive mobile energy sharing - Software/hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers - Energy trading and economy models among peers - Incentive models for energy sharing and smart energy pricing - SWIPT solutions for pervasive energy sharing - Pervasive energy sharing in wearable computing - Pervasive energy sharing in smart micro-grids Submission Guidelines: ------------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version. The published conference article(s) are also required to be submitted together with the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www.evise.com/profile/#/PMC/login. Please select “VSI:Energy-Sharing" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

City planners and traffic operators could use these simulations to explore transportation what-if scenarios, e.g., investment in a new motorway. Driver-level simulation (microscopic) has been shown to be the most accurate approach; however, it is considered too computationally expensive to be deployed in Intelligent Transportation products. Macroscopic simulations on the other hand take into account spatial density and velocity on road segments, and use various flow management methods to propagate the load of vehicles to the next segments. The simplicity of the macroscopic models makes it less expensive in term of processing power required than more complex simulation models. However, they are not as accurate as microscopic simulation models. This special session will explore new advances in these two models (as well as hybrid models) of traffic simulation. We are looking for contributions that describe novel techniques, new applications, interesting applications etc. List of Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Microscopic and macroscopic models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Traffic modeling and engineering; • Mobility modeling and management; • Automatic performance analysis; • Measurement architectures and systems; • Predictive performance models; • Evaluation and Simulation tools; • Validation through modeling and prototyping.

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: China Communications (IF: 1.514) Feature Topic on “Collaborative Intelligence for Vehicular Internet of Things “ Datum: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 10:57:33 +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.
