SCOPE The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on the latest research results on embedded systems and wireless networking, key enablers for visionary scenarios such as the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. After last year’s positive experience in China, the 17th edition returns to Europe in Lyon, France. The conference continues its aim for broad, world-wide impact. TOPICS OF INTEREST The conference solicits both full technical papers and short papers describing validated early ideas. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Communication and networking for wireless and embedded systems - Sensing, actuation, and control - Operating systems, middleware, and services - Processing, storage, and management of data - Programming paradigms, languages, and tools - Time and location management - Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety) - Privacy and security in applications and systems - Human-machine interaction with wireless and embedded systems - Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems - Measurement studies and deployment experiences - Green IoT (low-power, harvesting, energy management) - Challenges of ultra dense networks - Heterogeneous networks - Applications and problems from developing countries and emerging markets As always, contributions are welcome across the entire scope of the conference. 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".

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Datum: Sun, 21 Jul 2019 09:14:24 -0400 Von: Sahil Garg <garg.sahil1990(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sahil Garg <garg.sahil1990(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers! IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Link: https://static.wixstatic.com/ugd/3a8387_f232b36e50c449aa9f05797a278990c4.pdf Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019 Overview: With the recent advances in wireless communications, the automotive industry is leading to evolution. To succeed in this emerging era of technology, the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) has emerged as one of the potential applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). It refers to the dynamic mobile communication systems that communicate between vehicles and public networks to enhance the connectivity between cars via technology. By offering a wide variety of infotainment services, fleet operations, and in-vehicle applications, IoCV has gained the tremendous capacity to provide a safer and sustainable transportation system to the society. According to Gartner Inc., “the connected car is already a reality, and in-vehicle wireless connectivity is expanding rapidly”. As a result, the evolution of cars into the IoT will keep on accelerating the global market which is expected to grow by 270 percent by 2022. Further, the increasing deployment of sensors and ever-evolving cognitive technology open up new opportunities for IoCV. Due to these significant developments, connected vehicles are receiving widespread attention from the major automotive giants such as Tesla, BMW, Waymo (Google), Uber, Volvo, etc. Despite all the opportunities offered by the IoCV, their highly dynamic topology and the increasing number of vehicles pose challenges regarding delivering low-latency vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The fifth generation (5G) wireless networks emerge as a critical provider to handle the stringent connectivity requirements of IoCV. Moreover, with the development of massive multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), terahertz (THz) frequencies, millimetre-wave (mmWave), and heterogeneous networks (HetNets), 5G intends to guarantee new capabilities related to connectivity, data rates, transmission delay, throughput and moreover quality of experience (QoE). Thus, integrating 5G cellular systems into IoCV is a promising technology to achieve the goals mentioned above. However, as we are moving towards the 5G communication era, the data generated by connected vehicles is expected to grow exponentially; which in turn brings significant challenges to 5G. Therefore, to promote productivity, improve efficiency, and ensure the efficient handling of continuous growing data, it requires the support of high computing paradigm that can process the data with minimum delays. To accomplish these objectives, a programmable and scalable network paradigm is the need of the hour that can provide a variety of services to 5G-envisioned IoCV in diversified scenarios. In this direction, software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have gained much attention from the research fraternity. They rely more on network programmability to realize efficient network services. However, this traditional device-to-device management paradigm falls short while dealing with 5G mobile networks as it is characterized by a humongous cycle of connected devices. To overcome these problems, intent-based networking (IBN) has evolved as one of the paradigm shifts which combines automation with intelligence. Typically, IBN is composed of four essential elements namely, translation and validation, automated implementation, awareness of network state, and assurance and dynamic optimization/remediation; which takes the networking strategy to a higher level. Due to these fundamental elements, IBN holds excellent potential for reliable network support with quick turnaround and scalable services. Additionally, it also facilitates simplified network operations with seamless integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This, in turn, provides more opportunities to build more robust and efficient network designs for 5G-envisioned IoCV. Thus, this special issue intends to offer an opportunity for researchers (both from industry and academia) to present the dedicated efforts on the key theories, innovative schemes, and significant applications for realizing QoS in 5G-envisioned IoCV communication. This special issue mainly focuses on collecting the original contributions related to IBN-IoCV amalgamation in 5G wireless networks, which aims to provide high-performance scalable computing to connected vehicles while advancing the V2X communication infrastructure. Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: -New opportunities/challenges/ use cases for IBN in 5G enabled IoCV -Machine learning and optimisation-based algorithms, tools and solutions -Distributed mobility management and network intelligence -New architecture and communication protocols -Innovative applications and services -MIMO/massive MIMO/millimeter wave technologies -Big data analytics and Industrial IoT Applications -Role of cloud, edge and fog computing -Secure, dependable and trustable cyber-physical systems -Privacy protection and trust management -Energy-efficient and green communication solutions -Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance support for IBN PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Paper submission should conform to the information for authors available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its.

Vehicular communication is a key technology in intelligent transportation systems. For many years now, the academic and industrial research communities have been investigating these communications in order to improve efficiency and safety of future transportation. Vehicular networking will offer a wide variety of applications, including safety applications as well as infotainment applications. More generally, future communicating cars will evolve in a more intelligent environment also called smart cities. In this context, the interaction between intelligent vehicles and intelligent infrastructures will influence each other, to achieve each other targets. In one hand, the car drivers (or automated cars) want to travel in an efficient and safe manner and in the other hand smart cities would try to offer the best life conditions for citizens by reducing air pollution and noise for the inhabitants, and reducing traffic congestion with a better traffic information system for car drivers. Efficient interaction between vehicles and smart cities infrastructures is naturally needed to reach these goals. At the same time the set of the communicating vehicles is seen as an Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform providing several interesting capacities. First with the increasing number of sensors embedded on vehicles, a large variety of information can be collected and exploited not only by vehicles but also by other stakeholders (car markers, insurance companies, cities authorities, …). Second, the computing and storage capacities available on vehicles can form a vehicular cloud that can be exploited by third parties. Future smart cities are well placed and a natural candidate to take profit from these extraordinary mobile infrastructures. IWVSC'2019 aims at providing a forum and to bring together people from both academia and industry, to discuss recent developments in vehicular networking technologies and their interaction with future smart cities in order to promote further research activities and challenges. We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications for smart cities Medium access control protocols for V2X Routing protocols for active safety in V2X Geographical routing protocols for V2X Architectures, algorithms and protocols design for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks V2X cooperation for automated driving V2X cooperation for extended perception Cybersecurity, privacy in vehicular networks Heterogenous vehicular networks (ITS-G5, 3G/4G/5G, VLC, Satellite ) SDN/NFV for vehicular communication QoS provisioning for vehicular networks Vehicular clouds: architecture design, algorithms and protocols for smart cities DTN/ICN for V2X communications Iinteroperability (Vehicles, Infrastructure, traffic lights, VRU) Vehicular social networks Group mobility/Platooning/Autonomous driving in smart cities Cellular V2X 5G/6G technologies for vehicular communications V2X standards and their evolutions (e.g. 802.11p, ITS G5, LTE-V2X, 802.11bd, 5G-V2X, IEEE 802.15.7, IEEE 802.16.9, Geonetworking, IPv6 over WAVE, DIASER, …) Cooperative ITS solutions Machine Learning for Vehicular Networks V2X Experimental Research using Testbeds IoT for automotive Security in vehicular 4G/5G networks Cyber-attacks modeling Blockchain for V2X Security in vehicular hybrid networks Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submissions may be regular papers or short papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/IEEE SEC '19 Call for Posters/Demos Datum: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:59:35 +0000 Von: Yang, Qing <Qing.Yang(a)UNT.EDU> Antwort an: Yang, Qing <Qing.Yang(a)UNT.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org ACM/IEEE SEC '19 Call for Posters/Demos We invite submissions for posters and live demos to the ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC 2019) Poster session. The poster session provides an opportunity to present early-stage, not-yet-ready-for-prime-time research to receive valuable feedback from the community. Topics must fall within the purview of the SEC 2019 call for papers. Posters are meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with conference attendees. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet validated through extensive evaluation. On the other hand, live demos provide an opportunity to give a flavor of real-life applications made possible by your system. Particularly encouraged are the demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. Demonstrations of previously published systems are also welcome. Posters and demos will be presented during a specially designated session of the conference. To ensure maximum visibility and to garner high interest in the Poster/Demo Session from all attendees, each accepted poster and demo will have the opportunity to deliver a fast elevator pitch to overview and stir interest in the posters. Submission Instructions Poster/Demo submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than two 8.5x11-inch pages including all figures, but not including references. This abstract should be formatted two-column formatting. IEEE templates for Latex and Word that meet these specifications can be found here. The abstract title should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, and mailed to xchen26 [at] gmu [dot] edu. With subject “SEC 2019 - Poster Submission” or “SEC 2019 - Demo Submission” Submissions will be judged based on their novelty as well as the potential to generate discussions. Early-stage work will be preferred. A good way to think about this is that if you are very close to submitting to SEC, OSDI, SOSP, NSDI, (or similar other high profile conferences), you may be past the sweet spot for the poster session. The abstracts of accepted posters/demos will be posted on the conference website and will appear in the conference proceedings. Best Poster/Demo All posters and demos will be considered for the Best Poster Award and the Best Demo Award respectively. An independent review committee will select the winners at the conference. Poster/Demo Chair Xiang Chen, George Mason University Important Dates Deadline for Submission: August 3rd, 2019, 11:59pm EDT Notifications of Acceptance: August 23rd, 2019 Camera-ready version due: Sep 6th, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Springer JNSM SI on Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge Datum: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 15:34:50 +0000 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> Antwort an: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp advertisement message ************************************************************ Dear Colleagues, this is an announcement of JNSM SI on Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT (SPRINGER) SPECIAL ISSUE Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge *** Submissions due: December 31, 2019 *** https://www.springer.com/?SGWID=0-102-2-1338221-0 [We encourage early submission, please check the open submission schedule policy below.] The emerging and the ever-growing functionality of Internet edges, where physical and virtual things are connected to the network, are opening a wide set of new opportunities, both for novel services/applications and increased efficiency/scalability. These opportunities include locally sharing information, collaborating, and generating/consuming a huge amount of data, by involving a variety of entities, such as micro-data centers, end devices, and resource-sufficient networking nodes. While Fog/Edge Computing is usually expected to bring the resources, including storage and computation closer to users (in comparison to Cloud Computing), a significant effort is needed at the Internet edge to provide a trustworthy computation edge networking environment able to support new computation technologies. Indeed, distributed big data analytics, modern Machine Learning (ML) technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), real-time data collection and processing, scalable and distributed security solutions such as blockchain, and distributed secure data processing, may play a significant role. Moreover, new networking technologies related to Information-Centric Networking (ICN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and network slicing have emerged as the novel paradigms for fast and efficient delivering and retrieving data. This triggers the convergence between the emerging networking concepts and the new computation technologies to reach the vision of an intelligent and trustworthy Internet edge. In order to implement such trustworthy edge networks and services, several operation and management challenges associated with intelligent and trustworthy Internet edge need to be addressed. These challenges include: trustworthy connectivity and network resource management for heterogeneous networking (HetNet); security monitoring, measurement, and assessment to ensure networking and management functions to protect data; effective ML and computation models to consider different resources (storage, networking, and computing), security requirements, and real-time constraints; trustworthiness of data sources; in-network data processing and aggregation, intelligent planning and decision models to handle security and application requirements. This special issue aims to bring together leading research on management infrastructure, applications and the most recent advances in Internet edge-based secure network management solutions. We hence encourage original paper submissions, which have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, from both academia and industry presenting novel research addressing the aforementioned challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Secure intelligent edge systems and networking architectures/protocols to integrate storage, computation, and networking; - Secure intelligent coordination and networking between edge, fog, and cloud; - Software architectures and toolkits for secure intelligent Internet edge; - Trust management and networking among intelligent edges; - Intelligent and secure service function/computation chaining; - Secure NFV, SDN, and network slicing for distributed computations; - Secure ICN with/for edge-enabled Internet; - Secure in-network computation for future networks, inter-data center networking and 5G; - Privacy management for intelligent Internet edge; - Accountability, reliability, and resiliency for intelligent Internet edge; - Quality of Service/Experience and energy efficiency for secure intelligent Internet edges; - Distributed AI with/for secure edge networking; - Distributed ML with enhanced data privacy, ownership, and obfuscation; - Integrating Blockchain with distributed edges and Internet finance; - Data mining and big data analytics for security management in edge networking; - Trustworthy data collection and processing for big data at the edge; - Privacy-preserving big data processing at the edge; - Emerging applications for intelligent secure Internet edge, such as AR/VR, IoT, industrial IoT for Industry 4.0, 5G, cyber-physical systems, smart cities, vehicular systems, healthcare; - Management framework for intelligent secure Internet edge; - Security performance monitoring, measurements, modelling, and evaluations for intelligent Internet edge; - SDN/NFV security architectures and applications for Internet edge; - Security mechanisms in wireless SDN/NFV. Planned Schedule Open-submission schedule: in this special issue, we implement an “open” submission approach, where we do not have a submission time period. Interested authors can submit the paper any time before a fixed deadline, and the review process will be started right after the paper submission, i.e., in a first-in first-serve fashion. The detailed submission schedule is presented as follows: - Manuscript due: December 31, 2019 - Revision notification: 2-month after the submission - Revised paper due: 1.5-month after the revision notification - Final notification: 1-month after the revised paper notification - Expected Publication of the Special Issue: third-quarter of 2020 (early accepted papers will be accessible online before the deadline) Submission Format and Review Guidelines The submitted manuscripts must be written in English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

Es wäre natürlich sehr gut, hier mit Beiträgen dabei zu sein. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiCom 2020 in London, UK Datum: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:42:04 +0000 Von: Mandalari, Anna Maria <anna-maria.mandalari(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mandalari, Anna Maria <anna-maria.mandalari(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Mobicom 2020 in London, UK! Call for Papers The ACM MobiCom conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the field of wireless networking and mobile computing. MobiCom solicits papers that address important research challenges, including but not limited to communication networks, energy, computing, security and user experience. Successful papers should propose novel ideas to attack such problems through rigorous analysis, system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. We want MobiCom’20 to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. The more novel the concept, the harder it can be to fully develop or evaluate all aspects, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss not only the significance but also the limitations of their ideas. We strongly encourage authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. MobiCom continues the two-deadline model and the reviewing process with one-shot revision piloted last year to improve the quality and timeliness of publications. We invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: * Applications of machine learning to mobile/wireless research * Backscatter communication and wireless power * Edge computing * Embedded and energy-harvesting systems * Experimental platforms and infrastructures for wireless/mobile research * Implanted and wearable computing * Intersection between mobile/wireless research, cloud computing, and software-defined networking * Long-range/Low-power wide-area wireless networking * Low-latency networking * Machine-to-machine communications * Millimeter wave and terahertz communications * Mobile data science & analysis * Mobile health * Mobile web, video, virtual reality, and other applications * Next-generation 5G mobile networks * Novel applications of wireless signals * Robotic and drone-based networking * Security and privacy issues/solutions for mobile/wireless systems * Sensing with radio, light, sound, and acoustics * Ubiquitous computing and mobile human computer interaction * Visible light communications * Wireless localization and tracking In addition to full research papers as described above, MobiCom also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers MobiCom welcomes contributions that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Such submissions should be short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers. Two Deadlines and Reviewing Process with One-shot Revision MobiCom’20 offers authors the options of two deadlines and adds a one-shot revision process to enhance the timeliness and quality of the scientific results from the research community. Each paper will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as in previous MobiCom conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: * Accept: Accepted papers will be presented at the MobiCom conference and appear as part of the proceedings. In the meantime, authors are permitted to talk about these upcoming publications, e.g., listing them on CVs. The publications will also be put on the MobiCom website. * Reject: Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted until 11 months have passed since the last MobiCom deadline they were submitted to. Note that, rejected papers from MobiCom 2018 are welcome for submission to MobiCom 2020 in both the rounds. We strongly encourage the authors to consider the feedback they got before submitting the paper to MobiCom 2020. * One-Shot-Revision: Papers where a revision is required will be given specific action points and can be resubmitted for the next deadline. For such papers, the reviewers will be required to articulate a maximum of three changes/clarifications that they would like to see. After the resubmission, the same reviewers will evaluate the paper based on whether the authors have properly addressed the reviewers’ requests. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to MobiCom and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. We expect the one-shot revision to be used only for a small fraction of the papers. Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the MobiCom’20 paper submission website<https://mobicom20.hotcrp.com/>. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with the following requirements. You are strongly discouraged from violating these requirements with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed. You can visually inspect a page-by-page report of your paper format using the same tool as the submission system via a separate online form<https://www.sysnet.ucsd.edu/sigops/banal/index.php>. After the submission deadline, we will use the same tool to check the conformance of papers. The format checking tool uses heuristics and can make mistakes. The PC chairs will manually inspect and possibly reject those papers with evident format violations. However, no paper will be rejected due to format violations without first being checked by hand. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be immediately rejected: * Full papers: Contain no more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed. * Experience/Verification/Challenge Papers: Contain no more than eight (8) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than eight pages will not be reviewed. * Font size no smaller than 10 points. * 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. * Submissions must be in PDF (Portable Document Format) authors should ensure that they are compatible with Adobe Acrobat (English version). Any other formats, including Postscript and MS-Word, will not be accepted. * Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches). * Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any embedded hyperlinks, as these may compromise reviewer anonymity. * Limit the file size to less than 15 MB: contact the PC chairs if you have a file larger than this limit. You may find these LaTeX<https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/files/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> and MS-Word<https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/files/word-acm-10pt-on-12pt-7.0x9.25.doc> templates useful in complying with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper checker) that your submission is format-compliant. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs Bozidar Radunovic and Qian Zhang at mobicom20-pc-chairs __at__ acm.org<http://acm.org>. Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the paper's presentation. We will also have a Best Community Paper Award. Among all accepted papers, the program committee will select one that contributes the most to the broader research community in terms of real data, or new software, hardware or other artefacts. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will be asked to submit a one-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website up to two weeks before the conference, and will be played during the conference. A selected set will be featured by the social media channels related to the conference.

October 22-25, 2019 The Second IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Transportation and Connected Vehicles Technologies (ITCVT 2019) http://emergingtechnet.org/ITCVT2019/index.php Granada, Spain. October 22-25, 2019 in conjunction with The Sixth IEEE Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTSMS2019/ ============================================= *IOTSMS 2019 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.

Regards, Michele Workshop Co-Chair **************************************************************************************************** *Call for Papers* Workshop on Smart Building and Internet of Things to be held in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computing, Communication & Security (ICCCS-2019 - http://www.icccs-conf.in/index.html) October 10 - October 12, 2019, Rome, Italy *Important Dates* Submission Deadline 31 July 2019 Notification of Acceptance 23 August 2019 Camera-Ready Paper Submission 6 September 2019 Date of Conference 10-12 October 2019 *Workshop Description:* Internet of Things (IoT) enables network objects of the most diverse types to dynamically cooperate and make their resources available in order to reach a common goal. Such a paradigm is currently revolutionizing a variety of fields, facilitating and improving human life and work. Among them are Smart Buildings, which are characterized by the presence of smart devices, which give the opportunity to monitor and to remotely control key equipment within buildings. In such an intelligent environment, major goals are to improve the comfort and quality of life of people and to provide decision-support tools in order to aid users in making cost-effective decisions when utilizing electrical energy. Smart Buildings integrate autonomy and adaptive control and are considered as the next generation of buildings that must be allocated in Smart Cities. Smart Building links automation, sustainable development, information technology, security, industrial controllers and communications (among other systems) to achieve an optimal level of comfort and energy consumption. As for now, the research on this topic has a sufficient degree of advancement, however several issues still remain open. Indeed, this scenario is lacking people-centric applications, where the presence of intelligent tools can augment the capabilities of the objects in constructing a relationship with the users and exploit the user profile to construct personalized services; moreover, it is important to define methodologies and algorithms to analyze and exploit the context in which the user lives and works. Based on these considerations, the objective of this workshop is to highlight recent research, development, and evaluation of novel systems in Smart Building scenarios. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in this area. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Active and Collaborative Sensing in Smart Building - Behavioural and Energy Consumption Analytics - Implementation of Social IoT for Smart Building - IoT applications, systems, and testbeds for Smart Building - Models of context and context awareness - IoT for Smart Building devices and accessibility - New design paradigms in human-machine interaction for Smart Building - Cloud and mobile cloud architectures supporting Smart Building through IoT - Privacy-preserving data processing techniques - Big data, analytics, and signal processing for Smart Building enabled by an IoT approach - People-centric applications in Smart Building - Algorithms, architectures and platforms for Active and Assisted Living - Safety and Security preservation in Smart Building - Indoor location and guidance applications *Workshop Chairs* Michele Nitti, University of Cagliari, Italy Virginia Pilloni, University of Cagliari, Italy *Submission Guidelines* The submission guidelines valid for the workshop are the same as for the ICCCS conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ACCESS SI - Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) Datum: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 02:01:46 +0000 Von: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(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.
