-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFC: EWSN 2020 Dependability Competition Datum: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 05:20:43 -0400 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)TUGRAZ.AT> Antwort an: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)TUGRAZ.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Competitors 5th Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 17-19, 2020 - Lyon, France http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the previous four editions, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance of state-of-the-art low-power wireless protocols under the same settings and in harsh RF environments. ******** SCENARIO AND CATEGORIES ******** The competition scenario will emulate the operation of a wireless sensor network where several co-existing devices are crowding the RF spectrum. In particular, the messages generated by several source nodes need to be collected at a single destination in a reliable, timely, and energy-efficient way despite the presence of interference. In contrast to the previous editions, this year's competition will make use of nRF52840-DK wireless nodes. Contestants are free to use any of the technologies and physical modes supported by this platform. Two categories are planned for this year's edition: 1) Single-hop data collection. In this category, up to 20 source nodes generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to the same destination. The latter is located in proximity of all source nodes and can be reached directly, i.e., in normal conditions, the sink can be reached by every source node within a single hop. 2) Multi-hop data collection. In this category, up to 60 source nodes generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to the same destination. The latter may be located several hops away from a source node, even when making use of the coded PHY layers available on the nRF52. A detailed description of the scenario and evaluation procedure can be found on: http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html). ******** FORMAT ******** The competition will take place remotely and the final results will be announced during EWSN 2020 in Lyon. Contestants willing to participate to the competition must submit a short entry abstract describing their solution by the competition entry deadline. The entry abstracts will be used to pre-select the teams participating to the competition. Accepted contestants will participate to a remote preparation phase during which they can test and optimize their solution on the competition infrastructure. At the end of this phase, all contestants will be asked to provide a single binary file for the final evaluation phase. Each competing team will have the possibility to publish a competition abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Furthermore, a poster session dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the main conference. The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session of the main conference and will be able to hold a plenary short presentation about their solution. ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. Any low-power wireless protocol is eligible and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes, nor on the wireless technology used. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing solutions, which can be based on well-known protocols or previously published material. The same team can participate in multiple categories. The EWSN 2020 dependability competition will take place if at least six teams competing in the same category respond to this preliminary call. ******** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ******** Contestants must submit a short entry abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline. This entry abstract should prominently include the name of all members of the team, as well as their affiliation and contact information. Furthermore, the entry abstract should clearly state the categories for which the solution is intended. All submissions will be treated as confidential until the camera-ready deadline. Detailed information about the submission instructions can be found on: http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html. ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Competition entry deadline: October 1, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Notification of acceptance: October 11, 2019 - Remote preparation phase: from October 28, 2019 to December 19, 2019 - Submission of the final binary file: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Camera-ready abstract: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Evaluation phase: from December 21, 2019 to February 16, 2020 - Awards and poster session: February 17-19, 2020 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** - Carlo Alberto Boano and Markus Schuß (TU Graz, Austria) - Nathalie Mitton (Inria, France) An extended PDF version of this call for competitors can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/y6otsd9c. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call --------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In addition to the inter-node communication, it assumes that nodes are connected to other smart objects equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communication technologies, computation units, and IP-based connectivity to the Internet, thereby creating a network called Mobile Internet of Things (MIoT). MIoT applications are also based on cooperation-aware communication where information is exchanged among communicating nodes. This phenomenon advocates for a content-centric communication paradigm for MIoT applications where the focus is on information itself rather than the source and/or location of information. As a result, owing to the Future Internet Architecture (FIA), content-centric networking (CCN) and named data networking (NDN) have recently been considered to be the architectural backbones for SONs and its breeds. This Special Issue is soliciting original technical papers addressing the main research challenges in the Mobile Internet of Things and its applications over Future Internet Architectures. *Topics:* - ICN-based Wireless Networking and Internet of Things - Mobile Named Data Networking - Vehicular, Flying, and Underwater Named Data Networking - Mobile networks communication architectures and algorithms over ICN. - Security, privacy, and trust in Mobile Networks over ICN. - ICN-Enabled 5G-IoT. - ICN for delay tolerant and opportunistic networks. - Cross-layer protocol design - Multimedia communications in Mobile Networks over ICN. - Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of Mobile Networks communications over ICN. - Caching and Forwarding Issues in Mobile Information Centric Networks. - Testbeds and validation. *Submission instructions:* Elsevier Computer Communications submission system will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from 01 04 2019. When submitting your manuscript please select the article type “VSI: Mobile ICN”. Please submit your manuscript before 01 10 2019.

We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.” We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: · Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility. · Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing. · Wearable computing, internet of things, edge computing, sensing, and context-awareness. · HCI issues related to mobile computing. · Security and privacy of mobile computing. · Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility. · Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. The deadline for submissions is *October 15, 2019, 11:59pm EDT*. Acceptance notifications will be sent by December 15, 2018. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature ideas to warrant publication. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. The submissions must meet the following formatting requirements: · Font size no smaller than 10pt. · Font size of the bibliography no smaller than 9pt. · Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. · Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). We recommend the use of the "sigconf" ACM proceedings template, available at: http://www.acm.org/, with the font size of the main body amended to 10pt. An example Tex document can be found here. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Please note that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that the submissions are meeting all formatting requirements. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2020 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please contact the PC chair at qin.lv(a)colorado.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The communication in ICN is mainly based on the content name instead of using host addresses. Hence, the content is decoupled from its original location and may be cached in the network infrastructure. Also, the use of content-based security makes ICN a strong candidate for the future Internet, to fulfill user requirements, improve the content distribution, and the overall network performance. Under the concept of ICN, various architectures have been implemented such as Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Named Data Networking (NDN). On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is being widely applied to diverse domain-applications including smart cities, smart homes, smart healthcare, smart grids, and smart transportation. Things in the IoT ecosystem can collect data, interconnect between each other and the Internet, processing and taking decisions without human interaction. IoT communications and applications are, in nature, information-based and follow content-oriented paradigm. Hence, ICN may show promising performance on IoT, and help to overcome different IoT challenges and application requirement including addressing, heterogeneity, mobility, security, and scalability. Potential topics include but not limited to the following: • Advances architecture and application design for ICN-IoT. • Standardized and unified content naming schemes. • Energy and resource efficiency forwarding scheme. • Distributed in-network caching placement strategies. • Efficient cache replacement policies. • Forwarding/caching in resource-constrained IoT devices. • Secure pub-sub communication among IoT applications. • Novel QoS provisioning for CCN/NDN architecture. • Privacy, security, and trust for IoT applications. • Resource constraints access control policies for IoT. • Enable ICN communication for 5G-IoT networks. • Lightweight cryptography algorithms for ICN-IoT networks. • Experimental prototypes and test-bed for CCN/NDN in IoT. • Analysis and evaluation of running CCN/NDN in large scale IoT networks. • Business models of applying ICN in real IoT environment. _*Submission Guidelines:*_ All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EVISE), available https://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/FGCS.

As the relevant environments grow increasingly diverse and dense, we encourage contributions addressing this increased heterogeneity, and ultra dense networks. Papers highlighting novel ideas that are not ready for extensive evaluations, report on new tools and platforms with limited evaluation, or topics that could be adequately described in a short format are invited for submission as short papers. Initial explorations of profound problems in developing countries that have been addressed using IoT solutions may also be appropriate short paper submissions. The conference proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Selected accepted papers will be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN) or ACM Transactions on the Internet of Things (TIOT). SUBMISSION Submissions to EWSN 2020 must be original (i.e., not previously published) and not currently under review by any other conference or journal. EWSN 2020 will adopt a double-blind review process. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions to ensure that their identities are not disclosed to reviewers and reviewers are discouraged from actively working to uncover author identities. To promote early dissemination, submission to arXiv (or similar) is allowed, provided cross-citations are not made. Formatting requirements. Both full (10-12 pages) and short papers (4-6 pages) are welcome. Authors should carefully consider this choice as full papers will not be considered as short paper candidates during the review phase. Pages must use 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [PAM 2020] CFP: 21st Passive and Active Measurement Conference, PAM 2020, paper registration deadline 25.10.19 Datum: Mon, 16 Sep 2019 08:04:42 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Passive and Active Measurement Conference (PAM 2020) Conference date and location: To be announced soon Paper registration deadline --> 25 October 2019, 22:59 EDT Paper submission deadline --> 1st November 2019, 22:59 EDT Author notification --> 20th December 2019 ***Call for Papers*** The Passive and Active Measurement (PAM) conference brings together researchers and operators to discuss novel and emerging work in the area of network measurement and analysis. PAM is inclusive of all areas of network measurement, but focuses on systems-based research and real-world data. Indeed, measurement technology is needed at all layers of the network stack, ranging from power profiling of hardware components to virtualization in data centers to application profiling and even user experience. Work with operational impact or relevance to the broader network research community is especially welcome, as is early and promising measurement technique. Original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the following areas are invited: + Applications, e.g., web, streaming, games + Data centers and cloud computing + Energy + IoT, e.g., SCADA, ICS, and embedded systems + Measurement tools and software + Network security and privacy + Overlays, e.g., P2P, CDNs + Physical Layer + Routing + Social networks + Topology + Transport/congestion control + User behavior and experience, QoE + Virtualization, e.g., SDN, NFV + Visualization + Wireless and mobile Although PAM traditionally attracts early stage contributions, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's scope. ***Important Dates*** + Paper Registration: 25th October 2019, 22:59 EDT + Paper Submission: 1st November 2019, 22:59 EDT + Notification: 20th December 2018 + Camera-ready Due: 31st January 2019 ***Submission Guidelines*** Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: + Follow Springer LNCS format (see https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) + Up to 12 pages for technical content (+ up to 5 pages for appendices and references) * Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 12 pages. + NOTE: Anonymization; as started in PAM 2019, reviewing will be double-blind: * Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission. * Refer to your prior work in the third person. * Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away. * If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs. + Submit via HotCRP: http://hotcrp.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/pam2020/ ***Ethical Considerations*** Following the standard set by the Internet Measurement Conference (from which we base this section), papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation. When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a subsection describing these issues. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatted/) for further information on ethical principles and the Allman/Paxson IMC 07 paper (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) for guidance on ethical data sharing. Note that submitting research for approval by each author's institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient - in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. ***Awards*** There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The Best Paper award will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. The Best Dataset Award will be given to the best paper that makes datasets and corresponding code available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted. These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g., Github, Bitbucket, or CRAWDAD). ***Poster Session*** As in previous years, PAM will include a poster session featuring peer-reviewed submissions. Stay tuned for further details and the separate call for posters. ***Organization Committee*** + General Chairs TBD + Program Chairs Anna Sperotto (University of Twente, The Netherlands) Alberto Dainotti (CAIDA, UC San Diego, USA) + Publicity Chair Pedro Casas (AIT, Austria) ***Program Committee*** Amogh Dhamdhere (Amazon, USA) Anja Feldmann (MPI Informatik, Germany) Balakrishnan Chandrasekaran (Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany) Brian Trammell (Google, Switzerland) Casey Deccio (Brigham Young University, USA) Cristel Pelsser (Universite of Strasbourg, France) Cristian Hesselman (University of Twente, SIDNLabs, The Netherlands) Dario Rossi (Huwaei, France) Dave Levin (University of Maryland, USA) David Choffnes (Northeastern University, USA) Fabian Bustamante (Northwestern University, USA) Georgios Smaragdakis (MIT/TU Berlin, Germany) Giovane Moura (Delft University, SIDNLabs, The Netherlands) Idilio Drago (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) Ignacio Castro (Queen Mary - University of London, UK) Italo Cunha (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil) Jeroen van der Ham (University of Twente, National Cyber Security Center, The Netherlands) Johanna Amann (ICSI, USA) John Heideman (USC/ISI, USA) Kensuke Fukuda (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) Luca Vassio (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) Maciej Korczyński (Grenoble Institute of Technology, France) Marinho Barcellos (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) Mark Allman (ICSI, USA) Matthew Luckie (University of Waikato, New Zealand) Mirja Kühlewind (Ericsson, Switzerland) Oliver Hohlfeld (Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany) Philipp Richter (MIT, USA) Ralph Holz (University of Sydney, Australia) Ramakrishna Padmanabhan (CAIDA, UC San Diego, USA) Ramakrishnan Durairajan (University of Oregon, USA) Ramin Sadre (KU Louvain, Belgium) Renata Cruz Teixeira (Inria Paris, France) Ricardo de Oliveira Schmidt (University of Passo Fundo, Brazil) Ricky Mok (CAIDA, UC San Diego, USA) Robert Beverly (Naval Postgraduate School, USA) Romain Fontugne (Internet Initiative Japan, Japan) Roland van Rijswijk-Deij (University of Twente, NLNetLabs, The Netherlands) Stephen Strowes (RIPE NCC, The Netherlands) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary - University of London, UK) Taejoong Chung (RIT, USA) Thomas Karagiannakis (MSR, UK) Vaibhav Bajpai (TU München, Germany) Xenofontas Dimitropoulos (FORTH and ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Pedro Casas PAM 2020 Publicity Chair PEDRO CASAS Scientist Information Management Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Giefinggasse 4 | 1210 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at/> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

We have now a large variety of both wired (e.g. IEEE802.1TSN, IEEE802.1Qbu, IEEE802.1Qbv, Detnet) and wireless (e.g. IEEE802.15.4, 6TiSCH, WirelessHART, Z-Wave, WiSUN, WirelessMBUS, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 RTA, LoRa, ETSI LTN, mmWave) technologies to connect more and more smart and uniquely identifiable objects. After providing best-effort connectivity, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires a network infrastructure which supports real-time communications. Most critical applications require high-reliability, and an upper-bounded end-to-end latency has to be respected. The Industrial Internet of Things is expected to support many critical applications. Industry 4.0 will rely on wireless and wired infrastructure to interconnect all the actuators, sensors and controllers, even for the control loops. To a greater extent, IIoT is particularly relevant also for e.g. robot control loops, reliable industrial monitoring, critical operation/actuation, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Resilient Systems, Dependable networking, Automated Diagnostics and Predictions; Quality of Service, Quality of Experience, Service Level Agreements; Implementation details and benchmarking of Industrial IoT protocols; Efficient communication protocols for industrial IoT; 5G: architecture, medium access, virtualization; Performance Bounds, Soft/Hard Real-time, Formal Methods; Security: privacy, policy management, IDS; OS and Middleware, industrial cloud; Real-world deployments, Lessons Learnt; Standards-based solutions, Interoperability and Integration; Seamless wired and wireless real-time infrastructure; Handling mobility in industrial networks; Interconnection of legacy and novel network technologies; Applications: reliable monitoring, low latency control, automation, robotics, etc. Manuscript Due Dec 15, 2019 First Round of Reviews March 15, 2020 Revised Paper due May 15, 2020 Final notification July 15, 2020 Guest Editors Georgios Z.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Anish Jindal <anish.jindal(a)THAPAR.EDU> Gesendet: 4. September 2019 17:51:54 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) - "Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions" *Special Issue on * Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions *Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) * *Call for Papers * With the growth of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm, there has been a tremendous makeshift in how the distributed devices work to achieve a common goal. 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.

The communication in ICN is mainly based on the content name instead of using host addresses. Hence, the content is decoupled from its original location and may be cached in the network infrastructure. Also, the use of content-based security makes ICN a strong candidate for the future Internet, to fulfill user requirements, improve the content distribution, and the overall network performance. Under the concept of ICN, various architectures have been implemented such as Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and Named Data Networking (NDN). On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is being widely applied to diverse domain-applications including smart cities, smart homes, smart healthcare, smart grids, and smart transportation. Things in the IoT ecosystem can collect data, interconnect between each other and the Internet, processing and taking decisions without human interaction. IoT communications and applications are, in nature, information-based and follow content-oriented paradigm. Hence, ICN may show promising performance on IoT, and help to overcome different IoT challenges and application requirement including addressing, heterogeneity, mobility, security, and scalability. Potential topics include but not limited to the following: • Advances architecture and application design for ICN-IoT. • Standardized and unified content naming schemes. • Energy and resource efficiency forwarding scheme. • Distributed in-network caching placement strategies. • Efficient cache replacement policies. • Forwarding/caching in resource-constrained IoT devices. • Secure pub-sub communication among IoT applications. • Novel QoS provisioning for CCN/NDN architecture. • Privacy, security, and trust for IoT applications. • Resource constraints access control policies for IoT. • Enable ICN communication for 5G-IoT networks. • Lightweight cryptography algorithms for ICN-IoT networks. • Experimental prototypes and test-bed for CCN/NDN in IoT. • Analysis and evaluation of running CCN/NDN in large scale IoT networks. • Business models of applying ICN in real IoT environment. _*Submission Guidelines:*_ All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EVISE), available https://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/FGCS.
