Demonstrations should showcase highly innovative research or prototypes, platforms, and applications in the areas of mobile computing and wireless networking. The presenter should focus on how the demonstration supports innovative research results or original applications and/or the value for the community of the test platform. We strongly encourage live demos based on novel applications in the domain of pervasive computing, mobile computing and wireless systems. We also welcome live demos reproducing evaluation results of papers appearing in ACM MobiHoc 2020 or past editions, as well as other relevant venues. The poster session at MobiHoc 2020 will provide an excellent opportunity for initial feedback on your early research results and give your ongoing projects early visibility. Your poster will help you concisely share late-breaking results or work-in-progress on any topic related to mobile computing and wireless networks. Posters should provide a chance for in-depth research discussions and are therefore especially well suited for obtaining feedback on ongoing research or controversial ideas. As MobiHoc 2020 will take place virtually, each poster/demo awardee will have a slot in a virtual room, where the demo/poster can be presented. Attendees will be given the opportunity to join the virtual room and visit the virtual room. The MobiHoc 2020 Demo and Poster committee will review all submissions to select the accepted demos and posters. All accepted submissions will be considered for Best Demo and Best Poster Awards. A committee will decide the winner after evaluating all presentations. Please refer to the main conference introduction and CFP for the general areas that are relevant to the typical MobiHoc audience. *** *Demo and Poster Submissions and Selection* *** A demo and poster submission requires an extended abstract with a maximum length of 2 pages, including all figures and references. The extended abstract should be formatted with the ACM style sheet. If you are using LaTeX, you can make use of a simplified ACM conference template. The demo and poster title should begin with "Demo: " and "Poster: ", respectively. The demo submission should include the names, affiliations, and email addresses of the authors, as well as the equipment that will be used for the demo. Authors of accepted demo proposals are encouraged to submit a companion video clip showcasing their demo. Video clips should highlight the technical contributions of the demo and be no more than 90 seconds in length. Demo video clips will be posted on the conference website.

Despite many successes, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem inhibits evaluation against the state-of-the-art, the comparability of different integrated designs (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to present and future real-world cyber-physical applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming, it significantly hinders further progress in CPS and IoT systems research. ******** TOPICS ******** The Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing cyber-physical networks and systems. Unique to this workshop, we seek reports describing the reproduction of experimental results reported in published papers. Examples of this include researchers looking to validate another piece of work before comparing their own to it, or industrial organizations evaluating a new technology or demonstrating the robustness of their technology before customer delivery. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit papers focusing on one of the following topics: - describe an attempt to reproduce experimental results from published work; - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of cyber-physical networks and systems; - report on success stories/failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any relevant community (embedded systems, networking, control, robotics, machine learning); - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results; - report on examples of best practices in different CPS sub-communities towards achieving the repeatability of results; - present models to capture & compare the properties of algorithms and systems; Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper's claims. Submitted papers must be written in English and may contain up to 6 pages, including references, figures, and tables. We will follow a double-blind reviewing process, therefore authors must anonymize their submissions. References to the authors' own previous work must not be omitted, but referred to in third person. Accepted papers will be published either on OpenReview.net. ******** EXTENDED DEADLINE IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Extended Paper submission deadline: June 5, 2020 (11:59:59PM EST) - Notification of acceptance: July 6, 2020 - Camera-ready versions: July 31, 2020 - Workshop date: September 25, 2020 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** Workshop co-organizers: - Carlo Alberto Boano (Graz University of Technology, Austria) - Michael Breza (Imperial College London, United Kingdom) - Romain Jacob (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Ramona Marfievici (Digital Catapult, United Kingdom) - Marco Zimmerling (TU Dresden, Germany) Technical Program Committee: - Brad Campbell (University of Virginia, USA) - Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA) - Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt, Germany) - Roman Kolcun (Imperial College London, UK) - Amy Murphy (Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italy) - Pat Pannuto (University of California, San Diego, USA) - Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy) - Usman Raza (Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK) - Vijay Rao (TU Delft, The Netherlands) - Alexandru Uta (Leiden University, The Netherlands) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call --------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] GOODTECHS [virtual] going full online - new submission deadline Datum: Sun, 3 May 2020 10:32:37 -0300 Von: Daniel Fernandes Macedo <damacedo(a)DCC.UFMG.BR> Antwort an: Daniel Fernandes Macedo <damacedo(a)DCC.UFMG.BR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, GOODTECHS Steering and Organizing committees, due to the current COVID-19 situation, have decided to make our 2020 Edition fully virtual to eliminate uncertainty and to ensure the health, safety, and well- being of our research community and society in general. GOODTECHS has a new firm paper submission deadline: June 1st, 2020. The dates of the virtual conference remain the same: September 14-16, 2020. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceeding Series — ICPS and made available through the ACM Digital Library. A mechanism for virtual presentation and participation will be provided. More details will be announced in a timely manner, so please stay tuned to the official website for more updates. Best regards, The Organizing Committee GOODTECHS 2020 14-16/09/2020 Antwerp, Belgium http://goodtechs.eu/ ==== SCOPE ==== By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more. In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it. In GOODTECHS (http://www.goodtechs.eu) we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. Inside GOODTECHS, the Work-in-Progress and Ph.D. Track provides an opportunity to showcase interesting new work that is still at an early stage. We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit to the Work-in-Progress venue as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Moreover, this track provides a platform for Ph.D. students to present and receive feedback on their ongoing research. Students at different stages of their research will have the opportunity to present and discuss their research questions, goals, methods and results. This is an opportunity to obtain guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and other Ph.D. students working in research areas related to technologies for social good. ==== TOPICS OF INTEREST ==== Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas: App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms Blockchain for social good Communication between mobile devices Content Distribution E-learning solutions Data collection, organization and dissemination methods Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches Deployment and field-testing Digital tools for art and feelings Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation Experimental results of communication testbeds Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications Health and social care Human-object interaction ICT for development Mobile service architectures and frameworks Mobility and handover management New application scenarios for vehicular communications Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices Privacy issues and solutions Protocol design, testing and verification Security issues, architectures and solutions Smart cities and transportation Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business Smart governance and e-administration Smart living and E-health Technology addressing the digital divide ==== PUBLICATION ==== All accepted and presented papers will be published in ACM International Conference Proceeding Series — ICPS and made available through the ACM Digital Library. Papers should be in English. Regular papers should be up to 6 pages in length. WIP and PhD track papers should be up to 4 pages in length. Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review. Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL). Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal (IF: 2.390) ==== COMMUNITY REVIEW ==== Community Review is a service offered to Program Committees and submitting Authors of all EAI conferences designed to improve the speed and the quality of the review process. Abstracts of all authors who opt in to Community Review during submission will be published and available for Bidding here. Learn more about the Community Review process ==== IMPORTANT DATES ==== Full Paper Submission Deadline 1 June 2020 WIP and PhD Track Paper Submission Deadline 15 June 2020 Notification Deadline 13 July 2020 Camera-ready Deadline 30 July 2020 Start of Conference 14 September 2020 End of Conference 16 September 2020 -- Daniel Fernandes Macedo Professor Associado Computer Science Department Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil E-mail: damacedo(a)dcc.ufmg.br Web page: http://homepages.dcc.ufmg.br/~damacedo/ Telephone: +553134097584 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP SI on Edge Computing in Pervasive Systems (PMC, Elsevier) -- Deadline extended Datum: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 09:47:38 +0200 Von: Claudio Cicconetti <c.cicconetti(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Claudio Cicconetti <c.cicconetti(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [apologies for cross-posting] +++ Submission deadline EXTENDED to June 1, 2020 +++ Special issue on EDGE COMPUTING IN PERVASIVE SYSTEMS Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Elsevier) - IF 2.769 https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-p… SCOPE AND TOPICS Edge computing is the utilization of computation / storage / connectivity resources available at the "edge" of the Internet: mobile user terminals (e.g., smart phones, tablets), smart objects (e.g., IoT sensors and actuators), access network devices (e.g., WiFi routers, cellular base stations). Calling back from remote datacenter cloud functions and deploying them on edge devices create a new world of opportunities for pervasive and mobile computing applications and services, which may benefit from very low latency, increased bandwidth, and immediate availability of user context (e.g., geographical position, radio network information, local network topology). This new network calls for novel control and data forwarding mechanisms to account for its intrinsic characteristics such as volatility, its distributed nature, and the decoupling of functions among heterogeneous hardware infrastructures. This special issue invites technical papers that focus on both theoretical and applied research contributions and that present original ideas, analytical and simulation results, and real-world experiences in the context of smart edge computing. This special issue will focus on (but will not be limited to) the following topics: - Integration of edge computing in 5G (and beyond) technologies - Analytics, streaming, and real-time processing at the edge - Data storage, distribution, and management in edge systems - Edge computing for IoT and Industrial IoT applications - Distributed AI / ML solutions for edge systems - Security, privacy, and trustworthiness at the edge - Edge for the realization of cyber-physical pervasive systems - Distributed consensus and ledger technologies for edge computing - Communication protocols and technologies for edge networking - Programming and computation abstractions for edge computing - Modeling and performance evaluation of pervasive edge computing - Integration of edge computing in fog / (multi-)cloud scenarios - Lightweight edge virtualization to enable pervasive applications - New network architectures for distributed cellular deployments TIMELINE Submission deadline: June 1, 2020 <<< EXTENDED <<< Notification to authors: September, 2020 GUEST EDITORS Claudio Cicconetti (National Research Council, Italy) Antonio de la Oliva (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain) Dario Pompili (Rutgers University, USA) SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing. Authors should select "VSI: Edge Computing", from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Datum: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 10:09:31 +0200 Von: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2nd Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WoWMoM) August 31 - September 3, 2020 - Cork, Ireland https://newnets2020.github.io/ AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing sensing, communication, and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, and ZWave.). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range low power radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, NB-IoT, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - protocol design - hardware platform design - modeling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming) - wake-up radios for short- or/and long-range technologies - radio resource management - applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned - evaluation and testbeds - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English.
