-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Nicholas Kolokotronis <nkolok(a)UOP.GR> Gesendet: 31. März 2019 15:11:51 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] 2019 IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Cyber Security and Resilience in the Internet of Things (Deadline Approaching) Dear colleagues, please accept our apologies for cross-postings. =================================================================================== C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE SERVICES Workshop on Cyber Security and Resilience in the Internet of Things Milan, Italy, July 8-13, 2019 http://conferences.computer.org/services/2019/workshops/cybersecurity_works… =================================================================================== DESCRIPTION & SCOPE ------------------- The technological and industrial revolution brought by the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with new forms of threats and attacks that exploit the inherent complexity and heterogeneity of IoT networks. There are many recent examples of attacks that exploit IoT devices to perform large-scale distributed denial of service attacks, to spy on people, and to hijack communication links, therefore delivering full control of anything that is remotely accessible to an attacker. Those attacks deeply affect the operation of a number of services that are vital for the society functioning as energy, transport, communications, and so on. Moreover, IoT is largely used in monitoring activities of complex systems as smart city, industrial plant, health systems, bridges, and so forth. Because of that, if an IoT system experiences an attack, it should still exhibit resilience in the form of grateful degradation and/or survival and fast recovery (bounce-back/bounce-forward) of the functionality from the eventual failure or misbehavior. IoT resilience is here to understand the strategies and methods for a cyber-attack absorption and infrastructure operational recovery and needs to be considered as an integral part of the IOT Cyber Security landscape. The workshop focuses on both the theoretical & practical aspects of the security, privacy, trust and resilience of IoT networks, devices, applications, and services as well as novel ways of dealing with their vulnerabilities and mitigating sophisticated cyber-attacks. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Blockchain applications in IoT * Cyber-threat intelligence * Game-theoretic security for IoT * Identity management and access control for IoT * IoT and cloud forensics * Lightweight cryptography for IoT * Malware detection and mitigation * Network intrusion detection/mitigation * Privacy and data protection in IoT * Security in mobile applications * System and data integrity * Trust management for IOT * Operation recovery and continuity in IOT * Cyber-attack resiliency IoT architecture * Cyber Threat adaptive capacity in IOT IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: April 2, 2019 Notification to Author: April 16, 2019 Camera-ready & Registration: 1 May 2019 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- We call for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair). All papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews per paper. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SPECTS 2019 - IEEE ComSoc Sponsored - July 22-24, 2019, Berlin, Germany. Deadline Approaching Datum: Fri, 29 Mar 2019 13:51:33 +0200 Von: George T. Karetsos <karetsos(a)cs.ntua.gr> Antwort an: George T. Karetsos <karetsos(a)cs.ntua.gr> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2019 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2019/ The goal of this annual conference is to provide a forum for professionals and researchers to discuss and disseminate the most promising contributions on performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modeling, analysis, and simulation studies as well as testbed deployment, field trials and experiences gained are all in the scope of the conference. Work presenting novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime tradeoffs are particularly encouraged. Papers and tutorials are solicited in (but not limited to) the following subjects of interest: Networking Technologies and Telecommunication Systems Future Internet and next Generation Networking 5G & Beyond Hyperdense networks Massive MIMO mm Wave communications Multiple access, multiplexing, modulation and coding techniques Cooperative communications and networking Cognitive radio and networking Autonomic Networks Software Defined Networking Network Function Virtualization Cloud Radio Access Networks Radio over Fiber Flexible optical networks Optical-Wireless communication and systems Visible light communications Internet of Things and enabling technologies Machine to Machine systems Device to Device communications Cyber Physical Systems Wireless ad-hoc Networks Wireless Sensor Networks Delay Tolerant Networks Opportunistic Networks Vehicular ad-hoc networks / connected vehicles Nanonetworks Satellite and Space communications and networking Network design, optimization, management and performance evaluation Traffic engineering, network reliability, Quality of Service / Experience Computer Systems Parallel and Distributed Computing Service Oriented Architectures and Microservices Cloud and Edge Computing High Performance Computing Distributed and Mobile Middleware Computer Architectures Microprocessors Multi-core processors Memory systems High performance I/O Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence Applications and Machine Learning Software Engineering, Performance, Evaluation and Testing Verification and Validation Programming Languages Parallel Algorithms Data Storage Systems Fault tolerance, signal processing, and coding techniques Tools & Methodologies Modeling and Analysis Performance Optimization, Bounds and Models Stochastic Models Queuing Systems and Networks Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications Integrated Modeling and Measurement Mathematical Aspects and Integrated Design of Performance Verification and Validation On-Line Performance Adaptation and Tuning Parallel and Distributed Simulation Case studies, Testbed deployments, field trials and experiences Scalability Studies Special Tracks and Areas of Interest Security and Performance in Computer and Telecommunication Systems Chairs: Jean-Pierre Seifert, Altaf Shaik, Robert Buhren Data security is vital to ensure protection against cyber threats that continue to raise and diversify at a rapid speed. But often, while deploying security mechanisms, the performance of the system is affected in adverse ways. A key challenge in the design of computer and telecommunication systems is to identify a neutral ground between security and performance. Whilst the widespread of devices spanning into networks and generating countless amounts of data absolutely require high performance systems. This makes us to rethink our security systems that can guarantee a high level of performance and also an acceptable level of security. In this respect, we invite researchers and security enthusiasts to submit papers that study and analyze various issues but not limited to such as tradeoff between security and performance, new security protocols in secure communication systems. Edge Computing and Edge-enabled AI for Network Management Chairs: Paolo Bellavista, Luca Foschini, Carlo Giannelli Edge computing is rapidly emerging as the most relevant architectural approach to manage some hard and open technical challenges associated with wide-scale and quality-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications, which typically exploit the elastic availability of cloud resources on the server side. EAINM specifically focuses on network quality configuration, optimization, configuration, control, and management enabled by edge computing in three-layer deployment environments (device, edge, cloud). In particular, EAINM considers as central all methodological, design, implementation, and deployment experiences that investigate digital twin creation at the cloud layer and distributed enforcement of twin control actions also at the edge, typically with complex machine learning processing at the cloud side and more lightweight digital twin execution and refinement at edge nodes. Contributions about enabling AI techniques for these architectures and practical application prototyping/deployment experiences (e.g., for manufacturing production quality control and optimized management of distributed caching) are strongly welcome. Aspects and trends of software evaluation Chairs: George Tsihrintzis, Maria Virvou Software applications are evolving rapidly and are expanding their use to all the areas of human activity by the means of all sorts of hardware, including computers, handheld devices, smart things, digital signage etc. The vast use of software in many contexts imposes the need for the development of new evaluation methodologies, frameworks and processes to address software quality characteristics that include reliability, reusability, effectiveness, correctness, accuracy and also security and privacy that conform to new law regulations. Moreover, the important software quality characteristics of usability, user friendliness and utility have to be ensured for end users of a vast range of disciplines and backgrounds. Thus, measuring and evaluating the quality of software applications has become of critical importance and should attract a lot of research energy. The aim of ASE is to address current aspects and trends of software evaluation. Modeling and Evaluation of Wireless Body Area Networks Chair: Yahya Osais Wireless Body Area Not (WBAN) are networks of medical sensors which are attached or implanted into the body of a human being or animal to monitor and control biological processes. Their performance is limited by their constrained resources and side effects such as heat. Before the full potential of WBANs can be realized, many fundamental issues must be studied using performance evaluation tools and measurements. The aim of MEWBAN is to provide the necessary insights to make the needed progress. Social Network Analysis and Performance Aspects of Socially-Aware Networking Chairs: Magdalini Eirinaki, Iraklis Varlamis, Malamati Louta The rapid development of wireless communications and the rise of social networks established a new research field that stands between telecommunications and social network theory. Smart and wearable mobile devices act as alternative gateways for participation in social networks and introduced “mobility” as a new aspect of social networking and applications. The aim of SANet is to provide a forum where researchers from the fields of Social Network Analysis and Telecommunication Systems Performance will come together, exchange ideas and generate new collaborations that bring us a step closer to Socially-Aware Networking.

However, the state of the art in Smart Farming should be redefined and revisited since new technologies and tools are coming in the agriculture domain bringing novel and innovative paths for improving the resilience and the efficiency of agriculture. Smart Farming has started to be materialized and not being simply a vague futuristic concept, as different fields such as image processing and machine learning have found a prosperous area of application. Apart from the technical aspects that Smart Farming presents, it also affects the agricultural sector beyond the conventional farming activities, influencing a series of dependent industries, such as food supply chains, weather and climate change, natural resources management and environmental impact. New and various technologies have invaded the agricultural sector as they can offer new and unprecedented opportunities. Smart Farming uses a combination of technological advances, such as sensors, drones, variable-rate application machinery, satellite navigation and positioning technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. All the aforementioned technologies produce a massive amount of data capable of changing the current status of the agriculture sector, but a series of effective actions have to be developed and established for their efficient exploitation. The Big Data era has arrived for the agriculture sector reflecting its changes to a numerous of research fields. The incorporation and the usage of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the agriculture sector takes place for at least a decade as well as the adoption of sensors for monitoring reasons. Furthermore, driven by advanced GIS technologies, emerging image processing techniques adopt neural networks and deep learning approaches for providing new areas of application in the field of computer vision. Tasks such as crop identification and weed discrimination have become easier than ever thanks to the state-of-the-art classification algorithms. Apart from the advantages image processing techniques offer in the field of agriculture, other related areas have significantly benefited as well. Land mapping, insurance of animal feed quality, weather and climate change studies, grassland identification and earth observation are some of the areas where image processing techniques and algorithms have been successfully applied. The farm industry and Smart Farming expand from the strict limits of the farm location and affect a series of related fields, such as supply chain management, food availability, biodiversity, farmers’ decision making and insurance, environmental studies and various Earth sciences among others. All of the aforementioned fields have significant benefits when they follow a data-driven approach under the condition that the used systems, tools and techniques that will be used have been designed to handle the volume and foremost the variety of the data. Often, smart farming systems are running on unmonitored areas, due to which any attempted or successful breaches go unreported. Worse, since this sector is traditionally not cybersecurity aware, security and privacy by design is not incorporated into the solution requirements. For example, security attacks are feasible by gaining access to irrigation control systems of either a plant or a farm. In the most cases, IoT devices and systems can be manipulated and personal data can be disclosed without the farmer knowing. Even worse, adversaries can gain access to other connected third-party systems, e.g., energy, administration and irrigation systems. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of agriculture in the era of Big Data. We therefore aim to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the application and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the Big Data-driven agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. *Systems* - Cloud- and edge-based systems in smart farming. - Management of heterogeneous Big Data in smart farming. - Crop models and decision support systems in smart farming. - Study of man-machine dialogue systems. - Data-driven methods for anomaly detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. - Role of Big Data in sustainable agriculture. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture. - Environmental Big Data integration. - Smart Farming and its application in Big Data processing. - Big data in agricultural disaster management. - Cyber threats and anomaly detection in smart farming. - Data privacy preserving systems in smart farming. - Deep packet inspection in security systems for Smart Farming applications. *Tools* - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture. - Emerging tools for precision agriculture. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in Smart Farming tools. - Big data online stream processing for precision agriculture and Smart Farming - Machine learning applications in improving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Smart Farming. - Statistical analysis and modeling in Smart Farming applications. - Geospatial analysis in Smart Farming applications. - Advanced image processing techniques and applications in the agricultural domain. - Spectral matching tools in Smart Farming. - Intrusion detection tools. - Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools for smart farming monitoring. *Techniques* - Modern GIS and remote sensing techniques in agriculture. - Classification and change detection of cultivated land. - Data mining and statistical issues in precision agriculture. - Intelligent computational techniques in precision agriculture. - Knowledge discovery in agriculture databases. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture. - Network-based analysis in Smart Farming. - Trust-enabling techniques and methods. - Blockchain techniques for ensuring trust amongst IoT devices in Smart Farming. - Network forensics techniques for Smart Farming applications. *Guest Editors* - Dr. Panagiotis Sarigiannidis: Assistant Professor in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications Department of University of Western Macedonia, Kozani, Greece - Dr. Thomas Lagkas: Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of The University of Sheffield International Faculty - CITY College, Thessaloniki, Greece - Dr. Konstantinos Rantos: Associate Professor at the Department of Computer and Informatics Engineering at Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology, Kavala, Greece - Dr. Paolo Bellavista: Full Professor of distributed and mobile systems at DISI - UNIBO, Bologna, Italy ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Auckland, New Zealand. ------------------------------- Special Session on *Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation* ------------------------------- https://bit.ly/2IoOn5n ------------------------------ Over the past few decades, sensors have not only become more advanced but also made impressive strides across an increasing number of sensing modalities. Despite the improved capabilities and breadth of available sensor systems, those used for intelligent transportation have remained relatively uniform across platforms; as a result, the algorithms and techniques being designed do not take full advantage of the rich information modern sensors can provide. Since all tasks -- including perception, localisation, decision-making, and learning -- are built on top of sensing, exploring alternative approaches to sensing is a compelling research area that can render all subsequent tasks more robust and accurate. The objective of this special session is to explore unconventional sensing for intelligent transportation in three ways. Firstly, it will investigate sensor systems that are not typically applied to certain transportation tasks, such as radar for precise localisation, audio for failure detection, and RF sensing for road traffic estimation. Secondly, it will explore untraditional sensor configurations and placements, such as ground-facing cameras using shadows to detect occluded moving objects. Lastly, it will look into the sensing of commonly overlooked information, such as the use of atmospheric sensors for gauging road surface traction or in-vehicle sensors for driving analysis. Via these three themes, this special session aims to stimulate discussion and research into untraditional sensing in order to improve the reliability and accuracy of transportation systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Localisation and navigation using radars (e.g., scanning, Doppler, and ground-penetrating); * Ego-noise and soundscape modelling and interpretation (e.g., sound-based failure detection, terrain/road surface status classification, urban sound source detection and localisation); * Event-based (neuromorphic) vision for localisation and perception in challenging scenarios; * Multi-spectral imaging (e.g. IR or polarimetric cameras for localisation and perception under difficult visibility); * In-vehicle sensing and wearable computing for failure detection, driver and passenger behaviour modelling; * Far infrared sensing; * Texture odometry; * Novel sensor hardware and designs; * Unconventional sensor placements or multi-sensor systems; * Optimal sensor scheduling and control in complex and/or multi-agent / social environments; * Astronomical (skyward-facing), atmospheric or odor-based sensing; * IoT technology for intelligent transportation and Internet of Vehicles (IoV); * Passive Wireless/RF sensing. ------------------------------- *Important Dates* Paper Submission Deadline: Extended to April 15, 2019 Notification of Acceptance: June 30, 2019 Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2019 Conference Dates: October 27-30, 2019 Authors are kindly invited to notify the organisers of their submissions.

Email: zhanglin(a)buaa.edu.cn TOPIC SUMMARY: The Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to improve the quality of human lives through billions of Internet-based devices. To satisfy the computation and storage requirements of IoT, cloud computing has served as the most important computing infrastructure. However, with the explosion of the number of devices in IoT (expected to reach 50 billion by 2020), a large volume of raw data will be continuously generated by IoT devices, consequently making cloud computing inadequate to efficiently and securely handle the data. In particular, cloud computing will be highly limited in terms of network bandwidth and privacy protection in IoT. To solve this problem, many researchers have attempted to move data computation and service provisioning from the cloud to the edge, which results in the area of edge computing and the related fog computing. Early-stage research has indicated that edge computing could potentially enable IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve the scalability and energy efficiency of IoT systems, and facilitate contextual information processing. Nevertheless, a series of challenging problems need to be addressed in order to fully utilize edge computing for IoT. For instance, most of the computation resources in edge computing are heterogeneous mobile devices that are highly energy-hungry, which means that edge computing tends to be unreliable. Moreover, how to efficiently distribute computation/data storage and how to combine edge computing with cloud computing in order to provide scalable services need to be further studied. In addition, how to support services without compromising privacy and security is a challenging problem in edge computing. This special issue aims to provide a prime venue for researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the key problems and present the innovative solutions in the area of edge computing for IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Edge/Fog computing architecture for IoT Modeling and performance analysis of edge computing for IoT Communication and networking technologies in edge computing for IoT Mobile computing resource management in edge computing for IoT Machine learning and deep learning in edge computing for IoT QoS and QoE provisioning in edge computing for IoT Trust, security and privacy in edge computing for IoT Energy management in edge computing for IoT Collaboration of edge computing and cloud computing for IoT Experiences in delivering edge/fog-based services Open issues and challenges in edge computing for IoT IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscripts due: 05/01/2019 Peer reviews to authors: 07/01/2019 Revised manuscripts due: 08/01/2019 Second-round reviews to authors: 10/01/2019 Final accepted manuscript due: 10/31/2019 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically before the submission due date, adhering to the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering guidelines (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6488902).

The key idea is to provide a higher level of automation by combining technologies such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), cloud computing, machine learning (ML) and advanced robotics to enable the creation of interconnected, responsive, intelligent and self-optimizing manufacturing processes and systems. The increased automation can: 1. Significantly enhance "operational efficiency" through real-time process analytics or even end-to-end process control. 2. Significantly enhance "overall productivity" by realizing zero-downtime through proactive maintenance via the implementation of ‘digital twins'. Implementation of either real-time process analytics or digital twining is geared to generate a huge volume of heterogeneous data flows. Consequently, the design of communication interfaces to support inter-connectivity must be optimized to enable convergence between legacy operations technology (OT) and next-generation IIoT. This special issue solicits original research papers focused on Design and Analysis of: 1. Ultra-reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Interfaces for IIoT Networks 2. Spectrum Management and Coexistence Issues for IIoT Networks 3. Architecture and Protocols for IIoT Networks 4. Novel ML methods for implementing Self-X capabilities in IIoT Networks 5. Resource Allocation and Management for IIoT Networks 6. Security, Privacy and Trust issues in IIoT deployments 7. Interoperability and Convergence Issues for legacy OT and IIoT Networks 8. Application and Deployment Specific Issues for IIoT Networks Submission Guidelines All submissions have to be prepared according to the Information for Authors as published in the Journal website and must be submitted via EDAS. Important Dates Manuscript Due: 1 July 2019 Acceptance Notification: 30 September 2019 Final Manuscript Due: 15 November 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: First/Second Quarter 2020 Guest Editors Syed A.

The goal is to connect devices that are able to self-configure and self-adapt to contextual changes through collaboration, instead of expecting direct human input. Nevertheless, this seamless integration of the cyber capabilities of the corresponding devices with the physical world, is poised to take the threats against this technology to the next level. In this context, every threat against IoT may constitute a threat against the physical assets of systems and such threats may be even translated to loss of human lives. The focus of SPIoT is on high quality research papers about state of the art in a wide range of IoT-related technologies: - Security and privacy in heterogeneous IoT. - Secure and Privacy Preserving Data Mining and Aggregation in IoT applications. - Cross-domain trust management in smart networks. - Secure authentication of IoT devices. - MAC layer security protocols for the IoT applications. - IoT security mechanisms targeting application layer protocols. - Resource-savvy Intrusion Detection for Networks of Things. - IoT-based malware mitigation. Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) in SpaCCS 2019 Workshops Proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex). ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

At the same time, the edge of the Internet is increasingly empowered with new capabilities, like pervasive sensing and computing power, which opens the way to new domains, services and business models beyond traditional mobile Internet, such as connected cars, participatory and urban sensing, industrial IoT. As a consequence, new types of information have to be delivered by the network with varying requirements in terms of reliability, transmission rates and latency. To cope with the exponential growth of devices and mobile data traffic, there is a need for clean-slate or evolutionary Internet architectures merging and assembling different network technologies, supporting new paradigms for wired/wireless system planning and optimization, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, efficient and quality-aware content distribution, and new approaches for unified operations and management of the heterogeneous components, like software-defined systems and network function virtualization.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Valeria Loscri <valeria.loscri(a)INRIA.FR> Gesendet: 18. März 2019 13:56:44 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Cfp 1st workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST-IoT) @ACM MobiHoc 2019 [Our apologizes for multiple copies of this cfp] ****************************************************************************************************** 1st Workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST-IoT) in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2019 2 – 5 July 2019, Catania (Italy) http://www.grc.upv.es/persist-iot2019/ <http://www.grc.upv.es/persist-iot2019/> ****************************************************************************************************** Call for Papers Leveraging on the global interconnection of billions of tiny smart objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is fostering the idea of Pervasive Smart Systems (PSSs), where all the data gathered by different “things” can be analyzed and used to improve the livability, the safety and the security of the environment, and to make IoT user lives easier. However, despite the research advancements in recent years, many open issues still prevent the full realization of such vision. To meet the requirements of PSSs, telecommunication systems should deliver significantly high data rates, traffic capacity, connection density, energy efficiency, as well as small latencies. Being massively distributed into the environment, smart things may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the cloud or at the network edge. In addition to the traditional pull-based data delivery, push-based and publish/subscribe traffic patterns must be supported. To accommodate newly emerging services, the network infrastructure should be agile, cost effective and possibly softwarized. Finally, meeting security and privacy requirements will play a fundamental role in the PSSs; indeed, without effective mechanisms, attacks and malfunctions in the IoT will outweigh any of their benefits. The PERSIST-IoT workshop aims to solicit a collection of innovative papers reporting the most recent advancements in the fields of smart network architecture, protocols and practical implementations enabling IoT for smart systems applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following: Topics of interests could be: * Models of network component interactions for IoT systems; * Distributed sensing and control in pervasive systems; * Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for pervasive systems; * Mobile edge computing for smart environments; * Crowdsourcing in smart environments; * Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC communication; * Novel networking paradigms (e.g., ICN, SDN) for IoT; * Energy efficient solutions for IoT; * Reliability, security, privacy and trust in pervasive systems; * Business models to promote user collaboration and resource sharing in pervasive systems; * Interaction of human-IoT for pervasive systems * Social networking in IoT architecture and middleware; * Social IoT models, e.g., co-location, co-work, ownership, and etc. * Cyber-physical-social security for pervasive systems * Social-based routing protocols and architectures for pervasive systems * Testbeds, applications, business, standards, and social issues Important Dates: Abstract Registration: April 1, 2019 Submission deadline: April 7, 2019 Notification of acceptance: May 5, 2019 Camera Ready: May 12, 2019 Program: May 31, 2018 Authors information: Papers should be submitted via the HotCRP submission website.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP JSAC Special Issue on "Millimeter-wave Networking" Datum: Sat, 16 Mar 2019 15:47:27 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *Call For Papers* Special Issue on Millimeter-wave Networking IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-jsac/cfp/millimeter-wave-… *Important Dates* Manuscript Due: April 30, 2019 First revision notification: June 30, 2019 Acceptance notification: August 31, 2019 Final manuscript due: September 30, 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: Fourth Quarter 2019 *Scope and Motivation* The increasing density of wireless devices, ever-growing demands for extremely high-data rates, and the spectrum scarcity at the sub-6 GHz bands are making the use of spectrum-rich millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies among the most important components of future wireless networks. The major commercial potential of mmWave networks has led to mmWave being considered as a key element of 5G-and-beyond mobile cellular networks, as well as for emerging Gbps-speed Wi-Fi networks based on the IEEE 802.11ad and draft IEEE 802.11ay standards. Despite this intense interest in mmWave from both the research community and industry, much fundamental research is still needed, especially at the networking layers. Compared to traditional wireless communication systems, the special propagation features and hardware constraints of mmWave systems introduce many new challenges in the design of efficient and robust medium access control (MAC), routing, and transport protocols. Communication at such high frequencies suffers from high attenuation and signal absorption as well as high penetration loss, requiring the use of highly directional antennas. This move from conventional omnidirectional networks to directional, blockage-prone mmWave connectivity marks a true paradigm shift for mmWave networking, affecting the design of all aspects of network control and resource management. The extremely high data rates achievable at mmWave come at the price of high coordination overhead. This in turn requires a radical rethinking of the design of all aspects of network coordination and resource management, including cell-discovery and initial access, mobility management, routing, coordination, scheduling, user association, resource allocation, and network planning. Presently, there is arguably an adequate understanding of physical layer issues. By contrast, the upper layers of the protocol stack are still largely unexplored in the context of efficient and robust mmWave networking. The severe channel attenuation, vulnerability to blockage by mobile and environmental obstacles, inherent directionality of mmWave links, the reduced interference footprint, complicated channel establishment and mobility management, and high signaling overhead of mmWave networks demand a thorough reconsideration of traditional protocols and design principles at the MAC as well as the higher layers. This special issue seeks new ideas to address networking challenges of future mmWave networks. The purpose is not only to serve as a collection of recent developments of mmWave communications, but also to inspire readers/researchers to contribute in this exciting and promising field. Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to: - Network planning, optimization and learning theories for mmWave networks - Performance analysis, optimization, and fundamental limits - Signal processing for effective networking - Measurement studies and deployment experiences of mmWave networks - Routing, scheduling, resource allocation, and interference management - Initial access and link establishment for mmWave networks - Mobility management and seamless handover for mmWave networks - Association and coordination among access points/base stations and terminals/mobile equipment - Spectrum sharing (bandwidth or infrastructure) for mmWave networks - Beam-steering and tracking algorithms for mmWave networks - Scalable wireless access algorithms for large numbers of connected devices - Novel transport protocols for mmWave networks - Cross-layer adaptation for mmWave networks - Coexistence/integration with e.g. microwave technologies in heterogeneous networks *Guest Editors of the Special Issue* Carlo Fischione KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Email: carlofi(a)kth.se Ljiljana Simic RWTH Aachen University, Germany Email: lsi(a)inets.rwth-aachen.de Joerg Widmer IMDEA Networks, Spain Email: joerg.widmer(a)imdea.org Sandeep Rangan NYU Tandon, NY, USA Email: srangan(a)nyu.edu Dimitrios Koutsonikolas University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA Email: dimitrio(a)buffalo.edu Xinyu Zhang UC San Diego, CA, USA Email: xyzhang(a)ucsd.edu Anfu Zhou Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Email: zhouanfu(a)bupt.edu.cn -- http://people.networks.imdea.org/~joerg_widmer/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
