-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Chang, Zheng" <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Gesendet: 7. November 2019 10:32:19 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: 2020 WCNC 3rd Workshop on Intelligent Computing and Caching at the Network Edge Apologies for cross-posting this invite: Dear colleagues: Call for Papers: 2020 WCNC 3rd Workshop on Intelligent Computing and Caching at the Network Edge, 6-9 April 2020, Seoul, South Korea, http://users.jyu.fi/~zhchang/edge2020 With the explosive growth of smart devices and the advent of many new applications, mobile traffic volume has been growing exponentially. The myriad technological advances proposed for the 5G networks still mostly focus on capacity increase, which is constrained by the limited spectrum resources as well as the diminishing profits for operators and, therefore, will always lag behind the growth rate of mobile traffic. Therefore, novel distributed architectures, which bring network functions (such as computing and caching) and contents to the edge, emerges, i.e., mobile edge computing and caching, to confront the aforementioned challenges in the network development and many emerging applications, such as AR/VR, IoT, eHealth, autonomous driving , gaming etc. However, on the way towards efficient and intelligent network edge computing and caching, there are many open problems ahead. From the computing part, how to flexibly utilize the distributed computing resources at the network edge, such as mobile computing or fog computing is of significance. Moreover, what to be offloaded to the edge node and when to offload also call for research attentions. From the caching part, what, when, where and how to cache the contents to reduce the demand for radio resources are vital. Last but not the most, how to efficiently integrate computing and caching at the edge node and utilize the synergy of computing and caching also requires a breakthrough. This workshop aims to consolidate the timely and solid works of the current state-of-the art in terms of fundamental research ideas and network engineering geared towards exploiting intelligent caching and computing at the network edge. The topics of interests related to edge caching and computing include (but are not limited to): System modelling: Computation modelling, caching modelling, energy consumption modelling etc.; Enabling technologies: e.g., SDN, NFV, CRAN, D2D, cloud/fog computing and networking, etc.; Application areas: vehicular networking, IoT, smart grid etc; Novel network architecture: convergence of computing, communications and caching, content/information-centric network, cognitive computing and networking, big data analytic; Context-aware schemes: incentive mechanism for computing and caching, pricing, game theoretic approach, network economic etc, caching placement and delivery; Mobility management for mobile edge computing and proactive caching; Energy efficiency aspects: energy harvesting, energy storage, energy transfer, etc; Security and privacy issue; Prototyping, test-beds and field trials. Important Date Paper Submission Deadline: 31 Dec., 2019 Notification of Acceptance: 31 Jan., 2020 Camera-Ready Submission: 15 Feb., 2020 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original papers of no more than 6 pages (standard IEEE proceedings, two-column, 10 pt font, etc.), including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2020) workshop with NDSS (Feb. 23, 2020, San Diego, CA, USA) Datum: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 22:57:47 +0200 Von: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> Antwort an: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Decentralized IoT Systems and Security A workshop in conjunction with the 2020 Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) (https://www.ndss-symposium.org/) organized by the Internet Society (https://www.internetsociety.org/) February 23, 2020 — San Diego, CA, USA An open full-day workshop with extensive discussion. It is the 3rd in a series with NDSS (the program and papers for the previous ones are available online: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2018/diss-workshop-programme/ and https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-program/workshop-on-decentralised-iot-s…). Revised papers will be published as post-workshop proceedings by the Internet Society. Technical summary The success of the Internet of Things (IoT) depends significantly on solving related decentralization, security and privacy challenges. A key aspect is decentralization, as many if not most of the IoT use cases include big data collection from large-scale and heterogeneous device deployments. Furthermore, decentralized security may help to overcome privacy concerns and scalability bottlenecks, both of which become increasingly serious in large-scale deployments, such as smart cities, Industry 4.0, or next generation business platforms. A decentralized approach to IoT systems and security brings forth many opportunities but also challenges, such as operating with constrained devices, with intermittent network connectivity, state synchronization, and trust management — these and additional challenges listed below would be the scope of the proposed workshop. Following the spirit of NDSS, the goal of this workshop is to bring together academia and industry, researchers and practitioners, to analyze and discuss the potential and limits of decentralization in secure IoT systems. The proposed topics include the following (but relevant papers will not be rejected for not falling under these topics): - Secure interoperability across IoT ecosystems - Security and privacy trade-offs related to IoT scalability and decentralization - Securing the Web of Things - Secure service provisioning and software upgrading for large-scale IoT - Self-awareness and self-adaptation in decentralized IoT - Usable and context-aware security for decentralized IoT - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) security and privacy in IoT - Blockchains and other Distributed Ledger Technologies for secure and trusted interaction in the IoT and edge systems - Security and privacy in multi-tiered edge systems (“fog computing”) - Smart Contracts for the IoT, including formal verification of smart contracts - Decentralized access control and rights management - Decentralized trust management and governance - Authentication and access management at the IoT edge - IoT security and privacy architectures for 5G Networks - IoT Key Management Protocols - Trust, Security, Safety, and Privacy in IoT-enabled tactile and critical infrastructures - Scalable programmable network infrastructures for supporting secure IoT applications - NFV, Management & Orchestration for distributed, scalable and secure IoT architectures - Decentralized (edge & backend) IoT analytics and embedded intelligence - Application of concepts from outside of the IoT to decentralized IoT security - Security & Privacy for Federated/Distributed Machine Learning with Adversarial Agents - Attestation in the large scale decentralized IoT Submission Instructions The workshop will accept papers of between four to six pages in length for publication in post-workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the Internet Society with the revised papers based on the workshop discussions and reviewer comments. Papers shall be submitted for review in print-ready form using the NDSS paper template and the review will be single blind. For a paper to be published, at least one of the authors must attend the entire workshop, the paper must be revised based on the discussion at the workshop, and the revised paper must be submitted in time for the publication deadline. As previously, submissions and reviews will be handled by EasyChair. PC members have been invited and will be announced soon. *** Important dates *** Abstract Submission: December 13, 2019 Paper Submissions Due: December 20, 2019 Decision Notice to Authors: January 17, 2020 Camera-ready paper: March 13, 2020 Organizers: - Farinaz Koushanfar, UCSD, USA (fkoushanfar(a)eng.ucsd.edu) - Pekka Nikander, Aalto University, FI (mailto:pekka.nikander@aalto.fi) - George C.

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Social Internet of Things, Social Internet of Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing 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.

Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agricultural ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii. On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on *Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture* Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal. Regular manuscript length is 8 pages. *Note: *The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Some papers may be published outside the special section, at the EIC discretion. *Timetable:* *Deadline for manuscript submissions February 25, 2020* *Expected publication date (tentative) July, 2020* *Guest Editors:* l Prof. Lei Shu, Nanjing Agricultural University, China / University of Lincoln, UK lei.shu(a)njau.edu.cn l Dr. Gerhard Petrus Hancke, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China gp.hancke(a)cityu.edu.hk l Dr. Adnan M.

However, despite the research advancements in recent years, many open issues still prevent the full realization of such vision. To meet the requirements of SEs, telecommunication systems should support significantly high data rates, traffic capacity, connection density, energy efficiency, as well as small latency. Being massively distributed into the environment, smart objects may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the cloud or at the network edge. In addition to the traditional pull-based data delivery, push-based and publish/subscribe traffic patterns must be supported. To accommodate newly emerging more demanding services the network infrastructure should be agile, cost effective and possibly softwarized. The satisfaction of security and privacy requirements will play a fundamental role in the SEs; indeed, without effective mechanisms, attacks and malfunctions in the IoT will outweigh any of their benefits. The PERSIST-IoT workshop aims to solicit a collection of innovative papers reporting the most recent advancements in the fields of smart architecture, protocols and practical implementations enabling IoT for smart environments. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following: · Models of network component interactions on smart environments; · Distributed sensing and control in smart environments; · Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart environments; · Mobile edge computing for smart environments; · Crowdsourcing in smart environments; · IoT architecture and middleware; · Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC communication; · Novel networking paradigms (e.g., ICN, SDN) for IoT; · Energy efficient solutions for IoT; · Device-2-device communications (D2D); · Reliability, security, privacy and trust in smart environment ecosystems; · Business models to promote user collaboration and resource sharing in smart environments; · Testbeds demonstrating the feasibility of smart environments; · Applications, business, standards, and social issues. ******************************************************************************* * Important dates * Abstract Registration: January 7, 2020 Submission Deadline: January 15, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 2020 Camera Ready: March 6, 2020 ******************************************************************************* * Submission instructions * Submissions will be accepted through EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26855).

Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks.

Papers whose contributions overlap with an earlier published paper will be considered only if (1) the previous paper was published (not just accepted) at a workshop at least 6 months before our submission date and (2) it adds significant new contributions over the previous paper. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. MobiSys will use a double-blind review policy during the initial paper review. Authors are instructed to not include their names, affiliations and contact information on the manuscript they submit for review. Authors should also anonymize the content of their paper to hide their identity. Reviewers will not know the identity of the authors during the initial phase of the review process, however, anonymity will expire after the majority of the reviews have been submitted and preliminary outcomes decided. The identities of the authors will be revealed to the reviewers toward the end of the review process. Submissions which are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed. Submissions must be in PDF. We will not accept papers in any other format. Submissions must use a 10pt font (or larger) and be correctly formatted for printing on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11") paper. Paper text blocks must follow ACM guidelines: double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns and single-spaced. Submissions MUST be *no more than twelve (12) pages + unlimited number of pages for bibliography references*. The 12-page limit includes everything (e.g., abstract, text, appendix, etc.) except for the bibliography references. Submissions can use this LaTex template <http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2013/misc/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> that is known to comply with the formatting requirements. Authors remain responsible for checking that their resulting PDF meets our formatting and anonymity specifications. Submissions not following these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Papers may be conditionally accepted and shepherded by a member of the program committee, with final acceptance determined by consent of the shepherd. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to register for the conference (at non-student rate) and present the paper in person. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference.
