However, it remains essential that all these devices work in a coherent manner to perform a collective action. This makes the task of resource provisioning extremely important in such a paradigm. The end-user level in IoT mostly comprise of the low computation and communication powered devices. An improper utilization of the available resources in such a scenario burdens the complete system and degrades the quality of service. In such a scenario, the use of cloud computing techniques can help to manage the resources effectively. More so, with the emergence of relatively newer cloud-based technologies such as edge and fog computing, resource management in the IoT has become far more effective. These technologies bring the computation and communication capabilities closer to the IoT devices where some of the services can be offloaded to the edge devices. These devices are called IoT edge devices and they provide a unique opportunity to tackle some of the existing and pertinent issues for resource management in IoT paradigms; yet at the same time, they face their own set of challenges. However, the use of IoT edge devices in a traditional IoT paradigm results in better utilization of the available resources as well as improving the overall quality of service. Keeping this in mind, this special issue will address the resource management in IoT edge devices with the focus on various challenges faced, and potential techniques and solutions to address such challenges by leveraging IoT edge devices. The researchers, both at the academic and industrial level, working on resource management in IoT edge devices can share their latest results to create wider awareness about their schemes. The topics of interest include (but not necessarily limited to): - Resource provisioning using IoT edge devices - Improving quality of service using IoT edge devices - Novel architectures for integrating IoT models with edge devices - Use of advanced learning methods such as artificial intelligence and deep learning for resource management in IoT edge devices - Exploiting edge devices for computation offloading in IoT paradigms - Analysis of overheads and requirements for using IoT edge devices - Security and resilience issues in IoT edge devices *Important Dates * *Submission Due:* December 15, 2019 *Notification Due:* March 15, 2020 *Revision Due: *April 30, 2020 *Notification of Final acceptance: *May 30, 2020 *Final paper due:* June 30, 2020 *Special Issue Paper Submission * We seek submission of papers that present new, original and innovative ideas for the "first" time in SPE.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Gesendet: 20. November 2019 17:45:45 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 4TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2020) =============================================================== 4TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2020) 11-14 May, 2020, Melbourne, Australia In conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2020 URL: http://dream-lab.cds.iisc.ac.in/icfec2020/ ================================================================ We are delighted to invite you to Melbourne, Australia for the 4th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing. The Conference will be held as part of and in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid, 2020, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating “things” from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronics and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In conventional cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latency and bandwidth costs. To meet the ever-increasing demand for computing resources from distributed applications in the wide area network, academics and industry experts are advocating the use of micro data centers to supplement large cloud data centers. These micro data centers, also called fog resources, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user in the spatial and/or network topology than cloud data centers. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize both the edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out on the cloud. 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 fog and edge computing infrastructure, 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 and fog 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 Edge, Fog and Cloud computing. 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 * Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures * Legal issues in Fog/Edge computing * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing * Modelling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments * Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ICFEC will have two rounds of submissions, Early and Regular.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ACCESS SI - Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) Datum: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 09:06:18 +0000 Von: Guo Xuanchen <xuanchen.guo(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Guo Xuanchen <xuanchen.guo(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG https://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/communication-and-fog-edge-com… Submission Deadline: 30 November 2019 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs). With rapid economic development, the number of vehicles on the road has grown dramatically, which introduces an array of traffic-related issues, such as traffic congestion and driving safety. Intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) can provide a safer and greener transportation system, which has been envisioned as an effective measure to resolve traffic problems. ICVs are expected to run many emerging smart applications (e.g., autonomous driving, safety early warning, natural language processing, etc.) to assist both the drivers and passengers in vehicular environments. These kinds of applications typically require significant computing power to perform computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks generated by the vehicle sensors for low-latency response. However, the limited computation capacity of the on-board computer makes it difficult to satisfy the computation requirements of quality-of-experience (QoE)-demanding applications. To tackle this challenge, fog/edge computing are proposed as innovative computing paradigms to extend computing capacity to the network edge in order to meet the requirements. Fog/edge computing is expected to not only maximize the computation capability and alleviate the greenhouse effect, but also achieve sustainable operation by pushing rich computing and storage resources to the edge of the network. The limited computation capacity of the on-board computer brings about an unprecedented challenge for the future development of ICVs. Fog/edge computing provides cloud computing capacity in close proximity to vehicles. Vehicles can migrate the computing to the edge of the network via vehicle to everything (V2X) communication. Processing can be completed at road-side unit (RSU) at the side of the network. The advancement of communication technologies and edge computing, such as Fifth-generation (5G), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), mobile edge/fog computing and so on, makes it possible to enhance computational capabilities, ensure near-real-time responses and realize communication requirements with ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability. The Special Section in IEEE Access aims to provide the latest research findings and solutions, in terms of communication and edge computing for ICVs. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • New architecture and framework establishment based on fog/edge computing for ICVs • Advanced vehicular networks technologies, such as 5G vehicular networks, LTE-V and so on • Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications for ICVs • Resource allocation and management based on fog/edge computing for ICVs • Machine learning, deep learning for intelligent management and control • Joint analysis of communication and computing to improve performance in vehicular networks • Cross-layer optimization for fog/edge computing • Mobility modeling and management for ICVs • SDN and NFV technologies for vehicular networks • Security and privacy challenges We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) integrates the cyber, physical and social spaces together. One of the ultimate goals of cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) is to make our lives more convenient and intelligent by providing prospective and personalized services for users. To achieve this goal, a wide range of data in CPSS are employed as the starting point for research, since the data contains the user’s historical behavior trajectory and the user’s demand preference. Generated and collected from social and physical spaces and integrated in the cyber space, CPSS data are complex and heterogeneous, recording all aspects of users’ lives in the forms of image, audio, video and text. Generally, the collected or generated data in CPSS satisfies 4Vs (volume, variety, velocity, and veracity) of big data. Thus, how to deal with CPSS big data efficiently is the key to provision services for users. >From another perspective, CPSS big data are specified as the global historical data and the local real-time data. Cloud computing, as a powerful paradigm for implementing the data-intensive applications, has an irreplaceable role in processing global historical data. On the other hand, with the increasing computing capacity and communication capabilities of mobile terminal devices, fog-edge computing, as an important and effective supplement of cloud computing, has been widely used to process the local real-time data. Therefore, how to systematically and efficiently process the CPSS big data (including both the global historical data and the local real-time data) in CPSS has become the key for providing services in CPSS. This Special Section in IEEE Access aims to share and discuss recent advances and future trends of Cloud-Fog-Edge Computing in CPSS, and to bring academic researchers and industry developers together. Articles on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems about proximity services are invited. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: •Cloud computing for big data processing in CPSS •Big data management framework for CPSS in cloud-fog-edge environment •Security and privacy issues for CPSS in fog/edge computing •Computation offloading for edge computing in CPSS •Dynamic resource provisioning for CPSS in cloud-fog-edge computing •CPSS big data mining in cloud-fog-edge computing •Service composition for CPSS in cloud-fog-edge computing •Big data applications in CPSS We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

The huge demand for high quality life makes the administrator and the governments to put carefully planning in cities in a smarter way. As a premier agent for stimulating a quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city phenomenon has recently seized the imagination of the academia and the industry significantly. As the Internet of things (IoT) and Tactile Internet are predictable to be a primary driving force for future cities, advanced communication methods will play a crucial role in assisting real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, smart cities will also have to function within the limitations of the national economy and available resources. Consequently, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many and varied. In general, low energy consumption, constrained bandwidth, latency and budgetary limitations are predominant. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new ideas and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral, latency and monetary terms are presented to achieve a robust environmental monitoring and sustainable transportation network, among other provisions. This led the researchers to pave the way for future wireless networks under the umbrella of 5G communications as well. This is an amalgamation of a multitude of technologies ranging from device-level algorithms such as low power transmissions to system-level architectures such as software-defined networking (SDN), the challenges posed by each of these techniques are critical. The smart city idea is also known to work at the intersection of various techniques such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, full-duplex transmissions and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts with an interest in emerging smart cities related areas. The recent advancements in smart cities has boosted the development of a new generation of highly-efficient mobile networks. After the successful editions of this workshop in renowned venues, this workshop will highlight the recent developments in this evolving area. It will provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and research collaboration.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC) 2020 - Deadline Approaching Datum: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 14:39:49 +0000 Von: Blesson Varghese <B.Varghese(a)QUB.AC.UK> Antwort an: Blesson Varghese <B.Varghese(a)QUB.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG =============================================================== 4TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2020) 11-14 May, 2020, Melbourne, Australia In conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2020 URL: http://dream-lab.cds.iisc.ac.in/icfec2020/ ================================================================ We are delighted to invite you to Melbourne, Australia for the 4th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing. The Conference will be held as part of and in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid, 2020, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating “things” from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronics and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In conventional cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latency and bandwidth costs. To meet the ever-increasing demand for computing resources from distributed applications in the wide area network, academics and industry experts are advocating the use of micro data centers to supplement large cloud data centers. These micro data centers, also called fog resources, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user in the spatial and/or network topology than cloud data centers. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize both the edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out on the cloud. 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 fog and edge computing infrastructure, 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 and fog 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 Edge, Fog and Cloud computing. 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 * Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures * Legal issues in Fog/Edge computing * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing * Modelling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments * Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ICFEC will have two rounds of submissions, Early and Regular. Papers submitted to either rounds will be evaluated by the same program committee using the same evaluation criteria. Papers not accepted in the Early Submission round may resubmit a revised version to the Regular submission round provided significant changes have been made to address the reviewer comments.

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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xiaokang Wang <wangxiaokang1002(a)163.COM> Gesendet: 12. November 2019 22:55:10 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM 2020 Workshop NI-CPS Dear Colleagues: Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ====================================================================== Call for Papers: IEEE INFOCOM 2020 Workshop NI-CPS: Modeling, Analysis and Advancement of Network Infrastructure in Cyber-Physical Systems ====================================================================== Modern societies are witnessing the prevalence of a wide assortment of cyber-physical systems (CPS) built upon network infrastructure for mission-critical applications, such as industrial control systems (ICS), and society-enabling services, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Such applications and services may demand various levels of performance of their CPS network infrastructure, from strict and deterministic to lenient or probabilistic ones, for system agility, safety, stability and resilience. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in modeling and analyzing network infrastructure in CPS and advancing its design and application. For example, there is a technological convergence in realizing delay-constrained CPS based on real-time-capable Ethernet. IEEE TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) technologies have been discussed to be incorporated into Profinet (Process Field Net) and AFDX (Avionic Full-Duplex Ethernet). Moreover, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has established a working group for Deterministic Networking (DetNet) that is closely collaborating with IEEE TSN in order to bring its concepts to the Internet. Additionally, in the context of 5G networks, the Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) require new methods to prove guaranteed low latency for safety-critical CPS (e.g. self-driving vehicles) in the presence of highly volatile wireless channels potentially affected by deep fades and cell edge situations. In this workshop, any topics related to modeling, analysis, and advancement of network infrastructure in CPS will be considered. For example: · Delay performance or timeliness property of network infrastructure in CPS · Time-sensitive networking · Reliability analysis of network infrastructure in CPS · Ultra-reliable and low-latency communication networks · Modeling, analysis, and advancement of SDN (Software Defined Networks) in CPS · Deterministic networking · Modeling, analysis, and advancement of 5G and beyond for CPS · Network infrastructure and ad-hoc networking for industrial control systems · Application, comparison and advancement of CPS-specific performance evaluation methodologies, such as network calculus, rare-event simulation, extreme value theory, reinforcement learning, etc. · Standards for network infrastructure in CPS Important dates and submission link related to the workshop are listed below. · Submission Deadline: January 15, 2020 · Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26847&track=99565 · Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 2020 · Camera ready: March 6, 2020 Workshop Organizers · Prof. Liang Cheng, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, USA · Prof. Christian Wietfeld, Technische Universität Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany Program Committee · Prof. Mehdi Bennis, University of Oulo, Finland · Prof. Qi Han, Colorado School of Mines, USA · Prof. Wolfgang Kellerer, TU Munich University, Germany · Prof. Fanxin Kong, Syracuse University, USA · Prof. Bin Liu, Tsinghua University, China · Prof. Xiaoguang Ma, University of Wisconsin Platteville, USA · Prof. Miroslav Pajic, Duke University, USA · Prof. Petar Popokski, University of Aalborg, Denmark · Prof. Hao Wang, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway · Prof. Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen University, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
