Link: http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/network-resource-management-in-… Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Call for Paper -------------------- Submission Deadline: 01 April, 2019 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Network Resource Management in Flying Ad Hoc Networks: Challenges, Potentials, Future Applications, and Wayforward. INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------- With the rapid development in the fields of wireless ad hoc networks that do not rely on any pre-existing infrastructure, Flying Ad hoc networks (FANETs) have recently captured the attention of vendors and investors due to the flying nature of entities in the network. FANET is composed of nodes that fly at high altitude platforms such as balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, which have the ability to fly without a human pilot aboard. The network of nodes that fly at high altitude has gained commercial and industrial popularity because of its applications in surveillance, agriculture, photography, etc. For instance, the new applications that are being developed for FANET bring up the new challenges such as multipath propagation, severe shadowing, traffic load balancing, mobility, congestion, high error rates, etc., that usually results in the performance degradation of the network. However, the applications developed and used in FANET may also result in collision with the commercial flights due to the above challenges. The Federal Aviation Administration has been reported about the tremendous increase of more than 50% in the air traffic specifically the unmanned vehicles in 2017. However, such an increase in the UAVs results in an increase in the network traffic of FANET that may lead to an unbalanced traffic distribution, resulting in an increase in packet loss due to collision. Furthermore, the high data traffic generated by the number of nodes in FANET is one of the leading causes of accidents with the commercial flights. In order to cope with such kind of challenges, the network traffic of FANET must be distributed in such a way that it should neither disturb the commercial flights nor the communication among the nodes that fly at high altitudes in a network. This Special Issue therefore solicits original research work, novel protocols, methodologies and survey papers addressing the future challenges and solutions that embark on network resource management in FANETs. The topics of Special Issue include, but are not limited to: - Efficient deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at high altitude platforms (HAPs) for congestion avoidance and control - Dynamic traffic load balancing for congestion avoidance through routing in Flying Ad hoc Networks - Performance investigation of 5G systems with flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) - An optimal data collection and dissemination technique for balanced traffic utilization in FANETs - Distributed congestion-aware position oriented MAC/Routing protocols for FANETs - Performance evaluation of layered protocols of TCP/IP for multimedia traffic in flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) at different altitude platforms - Analysis of Reactive, proactive, and hybrid routing protocols for flying Ad Hoc networks - Opportunistic routing for distributed video traffic dissemination over flying ad hoc networks - A cross layer design for distributed information dissemination over flying ad hoc networks - Agricultural environment monitoring system based on UAV in FANETs - Congestion avoidance, detection, and mitigation in Flying Ad-Hoc Network for efficient utilization of network resources - Distributed clustering approach for FANETs - Enhanced connectivity for robust multimedia transmission in UAV networks - Active Queue Management for resource sharing in Flying Ad hoc Networks - Bio-inspired routing protocols for FANET routing - Multi-hop and relay-based communications for distributed traffic load balancing - Smart solutions to reduce congestion in FANETs - Interaction of FANET with IoT - Distributed Emergency Message Dissemination in FANET Associate Editor: Omer Chughtai, COMSATS University Islamabad, Wah Campus, Wah Cantt, Pakistan.

The symbiosis between Drones and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) started quite naturally as more and more networks of wireless sensors are scattered to detect special events and the areas that need to be monitored increase. In WSNs, Drones can act as a mobile sensor node that carry the data collected by the WSN towards the external world saving extra sensors to guarantee the full connectivity of the WSN and the full coverage of the deployment area. However, flying over the deployment area, a single small drone can also act as a collector or replace several anchors, i.e., special sensors equipped with GPS module, for localizing all the network sensors, saving the cost of the anchor nodes and the cost of their deployment. Thus, in WSN scenario, the drone can be regarded as the light infrastructure that closes the loop towards the autonomous WSNs or the mobile carrier that virtually replicate sensing equipment. Evolving WSNs in Internet of Things (IoT), the drones may become terminal devices at the edge of the ubiquitous IoT network. Having the ability to sense/measure just about anything and anywhere, drones may act as wireless sensor network deployed, at need, in remote locations, with the extra capability of carrying flexible payloads and the strong ability to be re-programmable during missions. Drones can play the role of quickly distributing critical information at the edge of the network, quickly checking status (detecting anomalies) of durable goods connected to IoT network. Drones and UAVs can become the backbone of the communication infrastructure for the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks in an emergency. For this reason, Drones/UAVs have also been included in 4G and 5G research and development activities. Connected to the IoT, Drones can be part of autonomous delivery on-demand systems and instead of operating individually (navigating in the line-of-sight controlled by a ground station) they operate in fleets that communicate, and navigate in real-time, beyond the line-of-sight. Single or multiple Drones/UAVs can cooperatively provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted. With this in mind, Drones and UAVs will grow in the future and they will become ever-more numerous in our skies. For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the drone systems operating in symbiosis with WSN in IoT applications. The numerous emergent applications nurtured by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations as well as different areas, like robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling. Applications in complex domains lead to situations where multiple optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed solutions. Decentralized and distributed, robust and secure algorithms are searched for drones systems that operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain, and potentially adversarial environments. Topics (Not limited to) * Autonomous WSN via Drones * Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones * Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones * Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT * Modelling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT * Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight of Drones * Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems * Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones * Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity) in emergency * Drones for detecting or discovering events * Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems * 4G-5G networks and UAVs * UAV assisted networks * Drones for environment (crop/forest) monitoring * Constraints and multiobjective optimization problems in UAVs * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning of UAVs over IoT * Ground Localization with Drones * Cooperative control of multiple UAVs * UAV secure communication techniques * Optimal UAV deployment strategies * High-accuracy navigation techniques * Real-time surveillance techniques * Performance, scalability, energy, and reliability in Drones’ systems * Anomaly detection, network monitoring and forecasting * Trust, security, and privacy * Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks * Cooperative Rendezvous for secure drone to drone communications * Secure communication between the drone and the ground networks Program Chairs Enrico Natalizio, University of Lorraine/LORIA, France; enrico.natalizio(a)loria.fr<mailto:enrico.natalizio@loria.fr> Cristina M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extension for [INFOCOM19 Workshop IECCO: Deadline Jan. 18, 2019] Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks Datum: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 12:52:26 +0800 Von: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Deadline Extension* for The 3rd Workshop on Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks, at the IEEE INFOCOM 2019, April 29-May 2, 2019, Paris, France Website: http://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-integrating-edge-computing-cac… 1. Call for Papers Cloud computing has been widely adopted to enable convenient access to a shared pool of computing resources. Nevertheless, as the distance between the cloud and the edge device is usually large, cloud computing services may not provide guarantees to low latency applications, and transmitting a large amount of data (e.g., in big data analytics) from the device to the cloud may not be feasible or economical. To address these issues, edge (fog) computing has been proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end users. Edge computing allows edge devices to perform computation offloading to offload their computational tasks to the edge server, which executes the computational tasks on behalf of the edge devices. Another new technology called information-centric networking (ICN) has been extensively studied in recent years. In-network caching is used in ICN to reduce the duplicate content transmission in networks. ICN-based caching has been recognized as one of the promising techniques for future wireless/wired networks. Recently, there is a phenomenal burst of research activities in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. From the perspective of applications (e.g., video), network, cache and compute are underlying resources enabling these applications. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on the performance of applications. The Workshop on "Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks" provides a forum that brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers to discuss up-to-date developments in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. The workshop invites submissions of unpublished works on (but not limited to) the following topics: Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Low-latency offload infrastructure Micro data cells/centers for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Cloudlets for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Supporting real-time multimedia services over edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Edge computing networks for wireless big data applications Machine learning based edge computing, caching, and offloading wireless networks Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and big data analytics in the edge of wireless network AI and machine learning for multimedia services Energy and spectrum efficient wireless network operations and wireless resource allocations via AI and machine learning algorithms Caching, and edge computing using software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) Architectures and protocols for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Designs and optimizations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information-centric and content-centric networks Information theory for caching and offloading Cache-enabled networks Computation offloading in networks Networks for cloud computing Networks for edge/fog computing Integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in 5G cellular networks Energy efficient hardware, software, networks and services QoS provisioning and resource management in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Modeling and performance evaluation of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Performance/complexity/cost tradeoff Pricing and billing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Security and privacy for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Green and sustainable edge computing, caching, and offloading Big data for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Signal processing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information theory for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Interdisciplinary research for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Studies for integrating D2D/M2M and IoT with edge computing, caching, and offloading Implementations and trails for edge computing, caching, and offloading Standards, policies, and regulations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading 2.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence to perform required operations. On the one hand, the objects should be able to deal with the possibly unpredictable and intense mobility and can wirelessly communicate with each other in a reliable and secure way. On the other hand, these objects must be socially aware, as we have witnessed a big growth in provisioning social network services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing on mobile objects. The HotSALSA workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of novel systems for smart objects and the social aspects of these systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in the social and mobile connected smart objects arena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - App concepts and algorithm design for mobile social applications and systems - Drone coordination and aerial communication - Interaction between mobile devices and cars - Location- and tracking-based mobile services and social networking - Measurement of social aspects in mobile systems and applications - Mobile centric social networking - Mobile edge/fog computing and networking - Mobile online advertising and payment - Pervasive and ubiquitous mobile social services - Playful social interaction: game, entertainment, and multimedia in mobile applications - Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems - Security and privacy in mobility-aware mobile social networks - Sensors and data collection for social networking applications - Smart cities and urban applications - Social aspects of Mobile AR/VR - User behavior analysis in mobile applications - Wearable devices and computing Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, social networks, or the intersection of both. In particular, innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format, including references.

Ammari <ammari.habib(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers for the 1st Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor, UAV and Robot Networking (MiSARN 2019) In conjunction with the IEEE INFOCOM 2019 ( http://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org) Joint 7th International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor and Cyber-Physical System Networking (MiSeNet) and 12th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV Networks (WiSARN) 29th April 2019, Paris, France Website: http://misarn2019.nws.cs.unibo.it Submission deadline: January 18th (Extended) Notification: February 11th Camera ready: March 3rd Workshop Day: April 29th EDAS link for submissions: http://edas.info/N25568 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Over the last two decades, the recent and fast advances in inexpensive sensor technology and wireless communications has made the design and development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and cyber-physical systems (CPS) cost-effective and appealing to a wide range of mission-critical situations, including civilian, natural, industrial, and military applications, such as health and environmental monitoring, seism monitoring, industrial process automation, and battlefields surveillance. Some of these mission-critical applications include the utilization of ground sensor, robot and UAV networks, which are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless communications, robotics and control theory meet. Autonomous cooperative systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, the 5G architecture foresees explicitly the usage of these specialized systems and offer new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. Starting from the tradition of MiSeNet and WiSARN workshops, IEEE MiSARN 2018 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking, combining both research and practice.

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. These are only some examples of the challenges that are of interest to IFIP WWIC 2019. The IFIP WWIC 2019 conference takes a broader view to the merge of wired and wireless technologies and welcomes submissions from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, and technologies for a global wired/wireless Internet network. Papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussions.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Gesendet: 20. Dezember 2018 23:44:14 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Dear Colleagues, We are very pleased to announce that the 2019 IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN 2019) will be held on April 29, 2019, in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2019. --------------------------------------------------- Scope and Topics of Interest --------------------------------------------------- In order to handle the ever-increasing traffic load, existing wireless networks have typically been designed and planned with a focus on improving throughput and increasing coverage. Achieving ultra-low latencies â€“ often together with unprecedented levels of reliability, has not been in the mainstream in most wireless networks, due to the focus on human-centric communications and delay-tolerant content. However, a plethora of socially useful applications and new uses of wireless communication are envisioned in areas such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), industrial control, automated driving or flying, mission-critical IoT, remote robotics, smart grid and tactile Internet. In response, new releases of mobile cellular networks (mainly focusing on 5G new radio and beyond) are envisaged to support scenarios with extremely strict requirements in terms of latency (ranging from 1 ms and below to few milliseconds end-to-end latency depending on the use cases). Low latency communication poses significant theoretical and practical challenges, requiring a departure from throughput-oriented system design towards a holistic view (network architecture, control, and data) for guaranteed and reliable end-to-end latency. Cooperative networking can maintain the robustness of network connectivity, since in cooperation, wireless nodes assist each other for improved connectivity and increased diversity. Most present systems employ centralized resource allocation, which is inappropriate for such applications though, as it relies on a significant control-layer overhead and incurs severe latency. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Low latency communication in mission-critical and emergency applications - Cooperative networks for achieving ultra-low latencies - Buffer-aided cooperative networks with stringent delay constraints - Fundamental limits, performance analysis, network theoretic approaches (e.g. stochastic network calculus, timely throughput) - Anticipatory network models for low-latency networking - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for achieving ultra-low latencies - Edge caching and content replication for low latency - Network slicing and network function virtualization - Applications: Factory automation and industrial control, Tactile Internet, Industry 4.0, Intelligent transportation, V2X communications, Remote robotics, Smart grid, eHealth, Mobile edge cloud computing, Safety-critical avionics. --------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------------------------------- The ULLWN Workshop calls for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages. The review process is single blind. 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). Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files through the EDAS website: http://edas.info/N25584 --------------------------------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------------------------------- Submission: December 30th, 2018 Decisions: February 22nd, 2019 Camera ready: March 10th, 2019 --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Organizers --------------------------------------------------- Prof. Nikolaos Pappas (Linkoping University, Sweden) Prof. Themistoklis Charalambous (Aalto University, Finland) Dr. Marios Kountouris (Huawei Technologies, France) --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Steering Committee --------------------------------------------------- Prof. Gustavo de Veciana (The University of Texas at Austin, USA) Prof. I-Hong Hou (Texas A&M University, USA) Prof. Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (EURECOM, France) Best regards, The ULLWN 2019 Organizers ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence to perform required operations. On the one hand, the objects should be able to deal with the possibly unpredictable and intense mobility and can wirelessly communicate with each other in a reliable and secure way. On the other hand, these objects must be socially aware, as we have witnessed a big growth in provisioning social network services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing on mobile objects. The HotSALSA workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of novel systems for smart objects and the social aspects of these systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in the social and mobile connected smart objects arena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - App concepts and algorithm design for mobile social applications and systems - Drone coordination and aerial communication - Interaction between mobile devices and cars - Location- and tracking-based mobile services and social networking - Measurement of social aspects in mobile systems and applications - Mobile centric social networking - Mobile edge/fog computing and networking - Mobile online advertising and payment - Pervasive and ubiquitous mobile social services - Playful social interaction: game, entertainment, and multimedia in mobile applications - Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems - Security and privacy in mobility-aware mobile social networks - Sensors and data collection for social networking applications - Smart cities and urban applications - Social aspects of Mobile AR/VR - User behavior analysis in mobile applications - Wearable devices and computing Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, social networks, or the intersection of both. In particular, innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format, including references.

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] [CPS-IoTBench 2019] Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 11:16:06 +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 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench - co-located with CPS-IoT Week) April 15, 2019 - Montreal, Canada https://cps-iotbench2019.ethz.ch/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE Over the last decade, research on cyber-physical systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as control, embedded and real-time systems, wireless communication, and networking. Despite these advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world CPS and IoT applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in CPS and IoT research. The 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing CPS and IoT solutions. CPS-IoTBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system’s perspective. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of CPS and IoT solutions; - offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of experimental comparison; - report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - describe efforts to replicate or reproduce experimental results from published research; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (embedded systems, real-time systems, networking, wireless communication and control, etc.); - benchmark industrial standardized solutions against each other and against academic solutions, and discuss their strengths and weakness for different application use-cases and industry verticals; - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Accepted papers will be published in both IEEE Xplore and the ACM Digital Library as part of the CPS-IoT Week proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. 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.
