Februar 2019 23:43:05 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Secure Cities [Call for Papers] [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] 2nd ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (Securing Smart Cities) to be held on July 02-05, 2019 at Catania, Italy. https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2019/workshop-Secure-Cities.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, the Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates: April 1, 2019 Submission deadline May 5, 2019 Acceptance notification May 12, 2019, Camera-ready deadline July 2, 2019 Workshop day Workshop Co-Chairs - Syed Hassan Ahmed, Georgia Southern University, USA - Danda B.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Xenofon (Fontas) Fafoutis" <00000134bbe013e9-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 18. Februar 2019 17:31:07 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ITSC 2019 - Special Session on Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation CALL FOR PAPERS: ITSC 2019 - The 22nd IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems October 27-30, 2019. Auckland, New Zealand. ------------------------------- Special Session on *Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation* ------------------------------- 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: March 31, 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.

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.

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.

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. > Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering etc. The goal 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 fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems and future of work.. > Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to smart human services and systems, including: > • Innovative technologies, tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes personalized healthcare, smart energy, smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision medicine and agriculture, national security etc. > • Information extraction and interpretation from sensors, actuators, smart phones, smart watch, and human > • Context and situational-awareness of smart service systems > • Design of people-centric services and technologies for providing better services such as food, transportation and places to live > • Novel architectures and interoperable solutions for internet of things > • Models and methodologies for designing complex smart systems > • Big data analytics approaches for innovative smart services > • Modeling, analysis, co-production, and co-evolution of human activity, behavior and interaction for the effective adaptation and percolation of longitudinal smart service systems > • Role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, pervasive computing, control theory, information and communications technologies > • Design and developments of intelligent systems, intelligent enterprises and cyber-physical-social-systems > • Design of inter-dependent complex global systems such as healthcare, smart gird, computer networks, logistics and supply-chains, financial markets etc. > • Smart infrastructure and testbed to support the integration and test of autonomous systems and innovative applications > > Important Dates > Paper submission: March 10, 2019 > Notification: April 10, 2019 > Camera Ready: April 28, 2019 > Workshop Date: June 12th or June 15th, 2019 > > Organizing Committees > Workshop Co-Organizers > Nirmalya Roy, University of Maryland, Baltimore County > Gurdip Singh, Syracuse University > Sajal Das, Missouri University of Science and Technology > > Technical Program Co-Chairs: > Kunal Mankodiya, University of Rhode Island, USA > Carlo Vallati, University of Pisa, Italy > > Publicity Co-chairs > Antonio Arena, University of Pisa, Italy > Mohammadreza Abtahi, University of Rhode Island, USA > > Technical Program Committee > TBD > > ______________________________________________________________ > IEEE Communications Society Tech.

June 10-13, 2019 [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2019) <http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTNAT2019/index.php> in conjunction with The 4th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2019) <http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2019/index.php> Rome, Italy. 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. The IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2019) Symposium will be held in conjunction with The Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2019). The IoTNAT 2019 Symposium aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.

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. Automating systems through utilization of IoT, Cloud, Edge, Big Data, and M2M tools and technologies demonstrate great opportunity to reduce operating costs significantly, utilize those savings more effectively, and provide better services to communities for the smarter living. This workshop provides a platform to the researchers to publish their innovative ideas, extensive analysis of their comparative studies, critical review of existing research and position papers in the above areas to meet the smart living requirements.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP SPECTS 2019: 2019 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems Datum: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:37:32 +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 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-elg]CfP for ICT4VRU Workshop, DL 18.4.19 Datum: Fri, 8 Feb 2019 14:16:07 +0000 Von: David, Klaus, Uni.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. <david(a)uni-kassel.de> An: kuvs-elg(a)lists.gi.de <kuvs-elg(a)lists.gi.de> https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/ICT4VRULogo.PNG *Call For Papers* * * *Workshop on ICT based Collision Avoidance for VRUs (ICT4VRU) in conjunction with INFORMATIK 2019, September 23-26, 2019, Kassel, Germany* According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), 26 % of all road traffic deaths worldwide (about 350,000) involve Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) like pedestrians and bicyclists. Cooperative collision avoidance aims at protecting VRUs by assuming that they are able to communicate their position with nearby cars by using mobile devices. In this approach, vehicles and VRUs exchange information, like their respective movement vectors for detecting whether a collision is possible or not. Mobile devices offer a wide range of sensors, which enable the recognition of specific contexts of VRUs, like for example whether a pedestrian runs towards an intersection or crosses a curb. Those contexts indicate unsafe VRU movements and can be used to improve collision avoidance in terms of collision detection performance, position accuracy, energy efficiency and more. This workshop aims at addressing these and similar challenges for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Car2VRU related scenarios. Topics of interest for the submissions include, but are not limited to: * Car2VRU architectures, applications and use cases * Car2X, Car2VRU (Car2P, Car2B) communications * Analysis of latency, overhead and message frequencies for Car2VRU communication * Machine learning and context modelling for pedestrians and bicyclists * Localization, GNSS improvements * Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) * Mobile edge computing (MEC) IMPORTANT DATES: *Paper Submission Deadline: April 19, 2019* Author Notification: May 05, 2019 Camera-ready version due: June 20, 2019 Workshop: September 23-24, 2019 TPC, SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: See workshop website: _https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/ <https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/index.html>_ CHAIRS Klaus David, University of Kassel Falko Dressler, Paderborn University CONTACT INFO: ict4vru-workshop(a)informatik2019.de <mailto:ict4vru-workshop@informatik2019.de> Viele Grüße Klaus/ David -- Prof. Dr. Klaus David University of Kassel Faculty of Electrical Engineering/ Computer Science Chair for Communication Technology (ComTec) Wilhelmshöher Allee 73 34121 Kassel - Germany Phone:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6314 Phone2:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6446 (Secretary) Fax:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6360 Mobile:+49 - 170 - 2901602 Email:david@uni-kassel.de <mailto:david@uni-kassel.de> WWW:http://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• INFORMATIK 2019 • 23.-26.09.2019 • Kassel • www.informatik2019.de <http://www.informatik2019.de/> 50 Jahre Gesellschaft für Informatik - Informatik für Gesellschaft ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

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.

In conjunction with FAS* (https://www.fasstar.org) - 13th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptiveand Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2019, http://saso2019.cs.umu.se/), and - 16th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2019, http://icac2019.cs.umu.se/) ************************************************************** [Apologies for possible multiple copies of this message] Please share and spread to interested members of your group/institution and colleague researchers. ============================================================== Important dates ============================================================== * Abstract Submission: March 8, 2019 * Submission Deadline: March 15, 2019 * Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2019 * Camera-Ready Version: April 20, 2019 * Workshop: TBD (June 16-20, 2019) ============================================================== Scope ============================================================== Modern software systems are becoming more and more *collective* and are composed of many distributed and heterogeneous entities. These systems operate under continuous perturbations making manual adjustments infeasible. For a collective system to be resilient, its *adaptation* must also be collective, in the sense that multiple entities must adapt in a way that addresses critical runtime conditions while preserving the benefits of collaborative interdependencies. Decision-making in such systems is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the entities may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. In such systems, a new approach for adaptation is needed to allow: (i) multiple entities to collectively adapt with; (ii) negotiations to decide which collective changes are best. Collective adaptation also raises a second important challenge: Which parts of the system (things, services, people) should be engaged in an adaptation? This is nontrivial, as multiple solutions to the same problem may be generated at different levels. The challenge is to understand these levels and create mechanisms to decide the right scope for an adaptation for a given problem. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that they can be better designed, built, and analyzed, as well as case studies and applications showing such approaches in action. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcomed. Suggested Topics (but not limited to): * Novel theories relating to operating principles of CAS * Novel design principles for building CAS systems * Insights into the short and long-term adaptation of CAS systems * Insights into emergent properties of CAS * Insights into general properties of large scale, distributed CAS * Decision-making approaches in CAS * Methodologies for studying, analyzing, and building CAS * Frameworks for analyzing or developing CAS case studies * Languages, platforms, APIs and other tools for CAS * Scenarios, case studies, and experience reports of CAS in different contexts (e.g., Smart Mobility, Smart Energy/Smart Grid, Smart Buildings, traffic management, emergency response, etc.) ============================================================== Submission Instructions and Review Criteria ============================================================== The length of a workshop paper may not exceed *6 pages* including references and follow the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. All papers should be submitted in PDF format. You can submit the paper through EasyChair using this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecas2019 By submitting a paper, the authors confirm that in case of acceptance, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work.
