According to the American Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the majority of the victims in many different scenarios are untrained rescuers and even professional first responders. Accurate information gathered from sensors may allow first-responders and volunteers to make better and faster decisions, understand the situation, identify the rescue actions with higher success probability, correctly allocate resources such as number of ambulances, and prevent or mitigate personal risks. Today, even commonly available technologies, such as cellular phones, could save many lives if properly adopted. There is a compelling need of exploring the feasibility of new technologies, explicitly designed for working in emergency scenarios. Recently in this wide context, the aerial communication has significantly progressed due to longer battery life-time, new international law regulations and microelectronics evolution with lower prices and higher performance. In particular, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can easily and quickly reach far-away locations, scan carefully the area looking for injured people and autonomously create a communication bridge between first responder networks and victims. However, there are several unaddressed challenges on both communication and computational means that might further improve the reactiveness and efficiency of the first response after a natural disaster or human-driven threat. The workshop is focused on main upcoming activities about the involvement of UAVs as emergency communication means during emergency situations. It is open to both scientific and industrial communities, and will disclose the latest research achievements in the research field of fine-grained localization, advanced communication between moving objects and optimal UAV-cell coverage. The main motivation is to gather people involved in public safety innovative actions, encompassing both the mathematical frameworks and realistic solutions to bring intelligence and efficiency on board of UAVs. The scope of the workshop includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: - Integration of aerial recovery networks in 5G New Radio (5G-NR) - Design and Implementation of self-organized aerial networks for disaster recovery - Mobility and traffic predictions for Disaster recovery networks - Edge and Fog computing for the Disaster recovery aerial networks - Energy management strategies for public safety networks - Trajectory planning and handover management for public safety aerial networks - Network slicing for aerial public safety networks to support low-latency response - Advanced localization technique using UAVs - Age-of-Information aware scheduling for public safety networks - Dynamic spectrum allocation and overlay network formation for public safety networks - Mobility diversity enhancement mechanisms for UAV networks - Experimental case-studies and simulation frameworks for public safety networks - Performance characterization for aerial public safety networks.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Physical Communications: Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management (IF: 1.522) Datum: Sat, 2 Feb 2019 01:41:04 -0500 Von: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management Deadline: June 1, 2019 CFP: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/physical-communication/call-for-papers/sp… In recent years, since 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) is giving high priority to the mission critical communications networks and services to provide communication services in disaster areas. Because, the disaster management organizations such as fire brigades, rescue teams, and emergency medical service providers have high priority and broadband demand to exchange information among team and with the victims by using mission-critical voice and data communication. To fulfill these demands, a standalone architecture is desired that can enable communication during the disaster situations. Moreover, broadband in public safety gives law enforcement the advantage to access information, stream video, and collaborate in real time. Law enforcement and border control remains the largest application of public safety LTE. To develop the standalone architecture and technologies, currently many organizations are developing LTE-based disaster support architecture because of its capability to provide the bandwidth efficient solutions. Technologies used in existing narrowband critical communications networks such as Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) and Project25 (P25) have been in use for about 20 years now. These networks are well developed and effective in supporting only voice applications but are not suitable for future higher bandwidth applications with the requirements of high data/video transmissions. Thus, the MC services are expected to evolve into the future by taking inputs from critical communications industries regarding architecture, technologies, and service requirements. Since, in disaster situation there is a possibility of complete architectural disaster, so to enable voice/data communication in this situation, the unmanned air vehicle (UAV)/robots can be used to provide the communication setup by enabling the path towards the core network. Moreover, Device-to-Device (D2D), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are the key drivers in the emergency situation for exchanging information from the MC site in the absence of network infrastructure to provide MC voice and data services. To provide these services 3GPP included the Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) functionality into LTE standard which is the first major step in a series of MC Services and functionalities demanded by the market. Recently, 3GPP Release 14 added various enhancements to its repertoire related to MCPTT, MC Data, and MC Video. Hence, the Release 14 MC services not only required new protocols and security enhancements but also enhancements in existing MCPTT services to enable reuse of common functionalities. Similarly, the Release 15, that will be the first phase of 5G, is expecting more enhancements in MC services.

June 10-13, 2019 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Italy Section) *IoTNAT 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.

Smart health, smart cities, smart industries, smart agriculture, smart environment, smart transportation, smart homes, smart education, smart business, smart energy, smart grids, and so on are the components that aid the mankind for smart living. However, they require, typically, design and development of innovative technologies, standards, and protocols apart from their architectures and frameworks. IoT has emerged as an extension to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with the low-cost and Internet-enabled solution for connecting and accessible anything from anywhere. In addition, such smartness derived due to the artificial intelligence yields in the production of tremendous amounts of data. The data increases as a baby-boomer requiring efficient tools to analyze and extract suitable inferences for services in order to extend smart living. Cloud, Edge and Big Data acquired enormous attention in light of massive data storage and analytics. With the large cohorts of gazette shrewdness and hi-tech population, the infrastructure, service delivery becomes expensive and difficult to manage for cities and governments.

Best regards, Marilia Curado & Giacomo Tanganelli ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IoT-SoS 2019 8th IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2019 <http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2019> co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2019 June 10, 2019 WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES EDAS Submission Link: https://edas.info/N25775 <https://edas.info/N25775> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users™ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving by design. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT - Service platforms for IoT applications - Business models and processes for IoT applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices - Access network issues including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT context - Experimental IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applicationsÍ¾ including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration of IoT, Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT - System architectures for massive IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

We cite as example of CPS smart grid in energy sector, smart factory and industry 4.0, intelligent transportation systems, healthcare and medical systems, and robotic systems. The CPSs offer very complex interaction between heterogeneous cyber and physical components; additionally to this complexity they are exposed to important disturbances due to unintentional and intentional events which lead the prediction of their behaviors (categorized as "Normal" or "Faulty") a very difficult task. Meanwhile, cyber security for CPS is attracting the attention of research scientists in both industry and academia since the number of cyber-attacks have increased and their behaviors have become more sophisticated commonly known as zero-day threats. Conventional cyber security mechanisms, such Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), and access control have not the capability to detect, prevent and block this category of cyber-attacks since the zero-day threats exhibit an unknown misbehavior that are not defined in signatures’ database of the security systems. Recently, a new era of cyber security mechanisms based on Artificial Intelligent (AI) are under development to protect the CPSs from these zero-day attacks. In the context of cyber security, the machine learning technologies are used to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources of information with a goal of generating automatically different attacks patents and hence predict accurately the future attackers’ misbehavior. Meanwhile, game-theoretic approaches have been used in the context of cyber defense to solve the decision-making issues (i.e., the suspect device is an attacker or not) and attacks prediction. In decision-making issue, the cyber security game is used to study the interaction between the security agents (e.g., IDS and IPS) and their opponents (e.g. attackers) with a goal to determine the optimal decision making of security agent to classify the suspected opponent as attacker or not. Preventing the occurrence of zero-day attacks requires the collaboration between different AI systems including machine learning and game theory, as well as security expert intervention. In fact, the involving of human intervention in the decision-making leads an improvement of attacks detection since the purpose of human-machine interaction is to reduce the number of false positives. Another example to illustrate the migration of security solutions to use more intelligent principles and technologies, the Identity Management & Access control (IAM) which switch from a simple login/password checking to voice and facial recognition. This Special Issue (SI) aims to bring together researchers from academic and industrial to share their visions of the AI application in cyber security context, present challenges and recent works and advances related to AI-based cyber security applied to CPSs. Potential topics include, but not limited to the following: * Design and verification of AI-based security solutions, * Impact of AI-based security solutions on CPS performances, * Safety of AI-based security solutions. * IDS/IPS based on machine learning, * IDS/IPS based on deep and reinforcement learning, * Cyber security game to protect the CPS, * Authentication and Access Control, * AI modeling for attack behavior, * Attacks prediction based on machine learning and game theory, * Human-machine interaction in the context of cyber security, * Application of AI-based security in internet of things and transportation segments * AI-based Solution for Physical layer security Important dates: ---------------------- *Manuscript Submission Deadline:*1 May 2019 *Initial Decision:* 1 August 2019 *Revised Manuscript Due:* 1 September 2019 *Decision Notification:* 1 November 2019 *Final Manuscript Due:* 1 December 2019 *Publication Date:* May 2020 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Paper Submission Guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/netmag/paper-submission-guidelines>.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue in Wiley ETT (IF = 1.61) Special Issue on Context-Aware Mobility in Internet of Things: Enabling Technologies, Applications and Challenges Submission Deadline: * February 28, 2019* This CFP can be seen at the website of IJDSN at *https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Proposed%20Special%20Issue%20(Context-aware%20mobility%20in%20IoT)%20-%20Final%20-%20CFP%20171218.pdf <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Propose…>* Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary paradigm for connected objects that enables diverse communication between heterogeneous devices. Continuous connectivity empowers these devices to socialize with each other by sharing information from distinct sources. IoT has played a profound role in diverse domains of life ranging from healthcare to agriculture, education to enterprise and transportation to engineering and many more. A progressive embracement of IoT by industry and individuals has enabled the realization of concepts such as Smart Cities and Smart Industries that were considered a mere dream decade ago. Further, mobility in IoT brings a lot of challenges when it comes to providing generic frameworks, protocols, applications and services such as uncertainty, dynamicity, disruptions, scalability and reliability etc. Highly mobile objects have tendency to change their context at a rapid pace that brings the challenge of realizing the applications that require contextual information for their operations and functionality. Generating context information requires extensive data analysis, high energy consumption, intelligent sensing and large storages to ensure appropriate information dissemination entities involved in the system. Context-aware mobility has gained tremendous attention with the advent of new generation of portal devices, e.g., smart phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness bands and smart cars etc. Change in the context can significantly transform the overall outcome of the system based on the devices, users, applications and environmental parameters. Recent advancements in IoT are still in their fancy and require standardization, benchmarking, architectural designs, models, guidelines, policies and measurement criteria for development and deployment of context-aware applications and services. This special issue is expected to provide a platform for academics and industry researchers to identify and debate enabling technologies, technical and non-technical challenges and recent accomplishments associated with contextaware mobility in IoT. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: • Architectural Design for Context-Aware Mobile IoT systems • Data Processing and Analytics for Mobile Contextualization • Context-aware mobility in IoT using Fog Computing • Security, Privacy and Trust Management in Context-aware Mobility • Social and Ethical implications of Context-aware Mobility in IoT Devices • Applications and Use Case Scenarios of Context-aware Mobile IoT Systems • Communication Technologies for Mobile IoT based on Context Intelligence • Context-Aware Mobility in Transportation • Context-Aware Mobility in Healthcare • Context-aware Mobility based Business Models for IoT applications • Wearable IoT based applications for context intelligence The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: (Hard Deadline Feb 5) IEEE VTC Workshop, Heterogenous Mobile/Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 05:15:39 -0500 Von: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG OVERVIEW ======== The recent development of wireless networking and mobile cloud computing initiates an emerging cyber system called mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC). MEC moves computing and data processing capability from distant cloud datacenters to edge servers that are closer to the mobile devices to offer users the lowest possible latency, the highest possible bandwidth, and direct access to real-time network services. Although MEC is expected to largely improve the QoE for mobile users, it is challenging to realize and utilize the MEC systems effectively and efficiently due to its inherent heterogeneities. First, since a typical MEC datacenter is composed of heterogenous resources such as CPU/GPU clusters, FPGAs, programable network routers, etc., this heterogeneity is big challenge to the traditional orchestration systems. In addition, due to the differences in scales, architectures, and Internet access technologies, it is challenging to realize the coordination of multiple MEC datacenters for conducting complicated tasks. Finally, the applications using MEC are also heterogenous. Different applications have different objectives and metrics, and correspondingly different flavors to specific MEC servers. Therefore, joint optimization of multiple applications and the MEC orchestration has to be considered. Addressing these issues efficiently will have significant importance to the future mobile computing and communications technologies. The objective of this workshop is to identify and address the challenges and opportunities of developing and utilizing HMEC. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - Theory, architecture, platform, application, and tools for MEC - Cloud computing and MEC in heterogenous environment - Novel network architecture, protocol, and the other related technologies for MEC - Vehicular network technologies employing MEC - Heterogenous networks - Theory, platform, and applications of Internet of things based on MEC - Energy harvesting technologies and communications related to MEC - Safety, security, and privacy for MEC - Cooperative computing and communications for heterogenous MEC - The practice and experience of Proof-of-Concept projects of MEC - Related future trends and emerging technologies of MEC All manuscripts should be converted to PDF format and uploaded to the Trackchair system. Each submission must be at most 5 pages in length and conforms to the double-column template provided by IEEE. You can download a template from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC Spring 2018 Conference Proceedings (Ei Compendex source) and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques, either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks. The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not limited to: · Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks · Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks · Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks · Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks · Incentive models for energy sharing by peers · Energy trading and economy models among peers · Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks · Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks · Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks · Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks · Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers · Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Manuscripts must be written in English, are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the IEEE template format available here. All accepted papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation.

Datum: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:40:46 +0000 Von: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> Antwort an: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WF-IoT) April 15, 2019 - Limerick, Ireland https://newnets2019.github.io/ !!!DEADLINE EXTENDED!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing both sensing and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The 1st on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets) brings together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - protocol design; - hardware platform design; - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication; - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions; - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming); - radio resource management; - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned; - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing; - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication. Paper submission deadline [EXTENDED!]: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 (11:59:59PM EST) Notification to authors: Sunday, February 17, 2019 Camera-ready submission deadline: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 ORGANIZERS TPC Co-chairs: Oana Iova (INSA Lyon, France) Ramona Marfievici (Nimbus Research Center, Ireland) Usman Raza (Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK) TPC MEMBERS Matteo Ceriotti (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) Victor Cionca (Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland) Evgeny Khorov (IITP RAS and NRU HSE, Russia) Gaia Maselli (University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy) Konstantin Mikhaylov (University of Oulu, Finland) Georgios Papadopoulus (IMT Atlantique, France) Rajeev Pyiare (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy) Vijay Rao (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) Felix Sutton (ABB Corporate Research, Switzerland) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Ambuj Varshney (Uppsala University, Sweden) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019)
by Lars Wolf 25 Jan '19

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) Datum: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:52:52 -0500 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *[Please accept apologies for cross-postings, share the news and thanks for your attention.]* ========================================== The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) May 14th-17th, 2019, Larnaca, Cyprus In conjunction with The 19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) http://www.cloudbus.org/fog/icfec2019/ ========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The organizing committee is delighted to invite paper submissions for the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC), that will be held as part of IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating "things" from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronic and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latencies and bandwidth costs. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for computing resources from emerging applications such as IoT, academics and industry experts are now advocating to supplement large cloud data centers with micro data centres. These micro data centres, also called Fogs, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user (in the spatial and/or network topology) than cloud data centres. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize such edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out at the cloud. Referred to as "Fog/Edge computing", this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments, make use of opportunistic and cheap computing, and leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. On the one hand, the development of fog and edge computing infrastructure requires examining operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. On the other hand, the use of fog and edge computing paradigm requires extensions to current programming models and development of new abstractions that will allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from such massively distributed systems. This also opens up other challenges in: security, privacy and trust of the edge and fog resources; resource management for mobile, transient and constrained resources; distributed data, state and context management; and emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and deep learning over such platforms. TOPICS ------ The conference seeks to attract research contributions covering both theory and practice over system software and domain-specific applications in these areas. Some representative topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Programming Models for Internet of Things (IoT) & Fog/Edge environments IoT gateways and hubs: architecture, performance, deployment Performance models for integration IoT & Cloud systems Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing Middleware for IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Scheduling for IoT, Fog/Edge resources Storage and metadata management for Fog/Edge Computing Monitoring/metering of IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Real-time, locality-sensitive and mission-critical applications Legal and management/governance issues Security, privacy and trust Modelling and simulation environments Important Dates --------------- Early Submission [Closed] Papers due: November 30, 2018 (Extended to December 21, 2018) [closed] Author notifications of Acceptance: February 8, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Regular Submission [Open] Papers due: January 31, 2019 Author notifications of Acceptance: March 15, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Registration will be aligned with CCGRID Deadlines: http://www.ccgrid2019.org Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format for peer-review.
