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.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] cfp: SI on Mobile and Social Sensing Datum: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 10:28:56 +0000 Von: Anna Maria Vegni <annamaria.vegni(a)UNIROMA3.IT> Antwort an: Anna Maria Vegni <annamaria.vegni(a)UNIROMA3.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Our apologizes for cross-posting] ************************************************************************************************************************************************** Pervasive and Mobile Computing CALL FOR PAPERS for Special Issue on Mobile and Social Sensing https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-p… ************************************************************************************************************************************************** The ubiquity of smart phones together with the popularity of social media heralds an era of mobile and social sensing. 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. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version. The published conference article(s) are also required to be submitted together with the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www.evise.com/profile/api/navigate/PMC. Please select “VSI:Mobile&SocialSensing" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Andreas Willig <andreas.willig(a)CANTERBURY.AC.NZ> Gesendet: 20. August 2019 23:19:12 GMT-04:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (We apologize for possible cross-posting) ============================================ Call for Papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special issue on "Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: new trends in computing and communications" Submission deadline: October 30, 2019 ============================================ Scope and topics ---------------- Stimulated by the rise of Industry 4.0, as well as by the pervasiveness of Information Communication Technologies (ICT), intense research in Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) is emerging for several applications. The further integration of the Internet of Things within the ICPS scenario triggered considerable research efforts within the new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm, with application scenarios like smart factories, smart energy grids, smart transportation systems, etc. One of the defining features of ICPS is the involvement of a large amount of cooperative computational elements tasked with the control of time-critical and mission-critical physical entities. These strict requirements are also shared by the IIoT scenario to provide unprecedented vertical integration, specialized high-level services, enhanced interoperability and availability. Furthermore, an ever more rising and ubiquitous trend in this IIoT context is represented by Digital Twins, where a real-time update of a large amount of data from the physical system is required to update the corresponding digital replica. As a consequence, both the computing architecture and the communication networks and protocols call for novel paradigms, albeit satisfying stringent low latency, high reliability and availability, safety, and security requirements. Traditional computing and communication and paradigms are not properly equipped to fulfill all these requirements, as they are typically designed to optimize different performance metrics and application scenarios. Hence, new paradigms are emerging, significantly changing the landscape of industrial automation systems and networks. In the computational realm, edge/fog computing is gaining popularity to leverage the enhanced capabilities of end devices, and at the same time, the interest in virtualization techniques is steadily increasing, with the aim of increasing the quality, timeliness and reliability of time-critical tasks. The new generations of communication systems, both wired and wireless, are also focused on ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency information delivery, as well as on enhanced features to enable time- sensitive operations, highlighted by the developing 5G and TSN standards. A common trend in both areas is the increasing adoption of approaches based on machine/deep learning to improve the adaptiveness of such system to different applications and environments. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Concepts, modeling, simulation and validation of ICPS and IIoT - Emerging applications of industrial and smart CPS in healthcare, mining, logistics, transportation, energy, manufacturing, etc. - Security and safety solutions for ICPS - Interoperability and standardization for computing, intelligence and communication in the ICPS and IIoT scenarios - Cloud, edge and fog computing for ICPS and IIoT: resource allocation and management, network slicing, etc. - Big data analysis for ICPS real-time control - Fog-based deployment and management of AI applications in ICPS - Machine learning techniques in real-time closed loop control - Partitioning of machine learning frameworks over fog/edge infrastructure - Real-time data storage, distribution, and analytics - Virtualization of computing resources - Digital Twins in the IIoT scenario - Blockchain technologies for the Industry 4.0 - High performance industrial wireless and wired communications - Emerging cellular networks for critical control systems - Convergence of industrial wired and wireless networks - Cross layer design of computing and communications with enhanced performance Manuscript Preparation and Submission ------------------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics, see http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems: New Trends in Computing and Communications Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Future Generation Computer Systems - Special Issue on Information-Centric Network enabler Communication for Internet of Things, Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2019 Datum: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:50:28 +0000 Von: Boubakr Nour <n.boubakr(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Boubakr Nour <n.boubakr(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for Papers Future Generation Computer Systems - Special Issue on “Information-Centric Network enabler Communication for Internet of Things” Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems/call-f… Scope: Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has been proposed as an alternative paradigm for future Internet and promising to replace the current host-centric model. 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. Important Dates: • Submission deadline: October 01, 2019 • First round notification: December 15, 2019 • Second round due: February 15, 2020 • Final notification: March 15, 2020 • Final Manuscript: April 15, 2020 Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EVISE), available at: https://www.evise.com/evise/jrnl/FGCS.
