-------- 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) 2019 - Co-located with IEEE WoWMoM Datum: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 08:16:20 -0500 Von: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE ***** MARCH 11, 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS MESN 2019 1st IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) https://sites.google.com/vcu.edu/mobile-energy-sharing-networks co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2019 June 9-12, 2019 WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES EDAS Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25783 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Energy is a scarce resource in any mobile and wireless networks that consist of devices/vehicles mainly powered by their batteries. 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. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend and present his/her work at the workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS ( https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25783).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [NewNets 2019 co-located with WF-IoT, Limerick, Ireland] Deadline extended! 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.

-------- 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EAI GOODTECHS 2019 - 5th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good Datum: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:49:21 +0100 Von: Giacomo Quadrio <gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * GoodTechs 2019 * * 5th EAI International Conference on * Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good * * September 25-27, 2019 * * Submissions due: March 15, 2019 * ******************************************************************** SCOPE ====== By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more. In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it. In GOODTECHS we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. Topics Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas: - App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms - Blockchain for social good - Communication between mobile devices - Content Distribution - E-learning solutions - Data collection, organization and dissemination methods - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Deployment and field-testing - Digital tools for art and feelings - Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation - Experimental results of communication testbeds - Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications - Health and social care - Human-object interaction - ICT for development - Mobile service architectures and frameworks - Mobility and handover management - New application scenarios for vehicular communications - Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT - Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices - Privacy issues and solutions - Protocol design, testing and verification - Security issues, architectures and solutions - Smart cities and transportation - Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business - Smart governance and e-administration - Smart living and E-health - Technology addressing the digital divide PUBLICATION =========== All registered papers will be published by ACM and made available through ACM Digital Library. Papers should be in English. Regular papers should be up to 6 pages in length. Short papers should be up to 4 pages in length. Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review. Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL). Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to: - Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal (IF: 2.497) All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of: - EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cloud Systems - EAI Endorsed Transactions on Serious Games SUBMISSION ========== Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy‘ system (http://confy.eai.eu/52608), and have to comply with the ACM format (see Author’s kit section).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for papers: VTC2019-Spring Kuala Lumpur: Communications for Networked Smart Cities. Datum: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 10:27:46 +0000 Von: Syed Ali Hassan <0000003c60556067-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Ali Hassan <ali.hassan(a)SEECS.EDU.PK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 5th International Workshop on Communications for Networked Smart Cities (CorNer) *in Conjunction with IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Spring) 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia* _________________________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: The demands for high data rates and ultra-reliable coverage become demanding issues due to increase number of population in the world by 2020. The huge demand for high quality life makes the administrator and the governments to put carefully planning in cities in a smarter way. As a premier agent for stimulating a quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city phenomenon has recently seized the imagination of the academia and the industry significantly. As the Internet of things (IoT) and Tactile Internet are predictable to be a primary driving force for future cities, advanced communication methods will play a crucial role in assisting real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, smart cities will also have to function within the limitations of the national economy and available resources. Consequently, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many and varied. In general, low energy consumption, constrained bandwidth, latency and budgetary limitations are predominate. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new ideas and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral, latency and monetary terms are presented to achieve a robust environment monitoring and sustainable transportation network, among other provisions. This led the researchers to pave the way for future wireless networks under the umbrella of 5G communications as well. This is an amalgamation of a multitude of technologies ranging from device-level algorithms such as low power transmissions to system-level architectures such as software-defined networking (SDN), the challenges posed by each of these techniques are critical. The smart city idea is also known to work at the intersection of various techniques such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, full-duplex transmissions and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts with interest in emerging smart cities related areas. The recent advancement in smart cities has boosted the development of a new generation of highly-efficient mobile networks. After the successful editions of this workshop in renowned venues, this workshop will highlight the recent developments in this evolving area. It will provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and research collaboration. Topic are not limited to the following areas: *5G oriented smart cities *Big data and cloud computing in smart cities *Internet of things and automation in smart cities *Cognitive radio in smart cities, and ultra-dense network *Energy harvesting technologies and communications *Communication in smart grid and green communications and computing *Novel network architecture design *Resource-efficient cross-layer optimization *Cooperative communications, mmWave and Massive MIMO design for transmissions *Energy-efficiency and spectral-efficiency *Antennas design and channel modeling *Machine-to-machine communications and Smart Drones Communications *Safety, security, and privacy for smart Cities *Smart transportation systems and infrastructure (V2V, V2I) *Applications, deployments, test-beds and experimental experience for communications in smart cities Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Spring 2019 Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] SIGCOMM 2019 Submission Deadline Approaching Datum: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 23:30:12 +0800 Von: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> Antwort an: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPER AT SIGCOMM 2019 The ACM SIGCOMM 2019 conference seeks papers making significant research contributions to the field of data communication networks and networked systems. The conference takes a broad view of networking research, which includes new ideas relating (but not limited) to: . Different network types, layers, and devices: o Wide-area, data-center, home, enterprise o Sensors and Internet of Things o Network access in remote or under-served areas o Wireless and mobility o Routers, middleboxes, network functions, end-host network stacks o Link and transport layers o Applications, including distributed systems and social networks o Virtual networks and SDNs o Future network architectures: clean slate and evolution . Aspects and properties of networks: o Correctness and performance o Security and privacy o Fault tolerance o Energy consumption o Usability o Emergent properties o Management o Resource allocation, provisioning and planning o Economics o Topology . Different evaluation methods: o Theory o Experiments o Measurement o Deployment and experience We expect submissions to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. We recognize that more novel concepts can be harder to fully develop and evaluate, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss the limitations of their ideas in addition to the benefits. Unlike some previous years, SIGCOMM 2019 will not have a separate experience track. However, we do encourage the submission of experience papers, particularly from industry, that provide detailed technical insight into real-world deployments of novel networking technologies and systems. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2019 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. For more information about SIGCOMM 2019, please see https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/. Submissions Submissions should report novel results that are supported by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. Submissions must be in 2-column, 10-point format and can be up to 12 pages long, with as many additional pages as necessary for references. New in 2019: Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, also not counting against the 12 pages). Appendices will not be considered in reviews, so we caution authors to ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. (For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result.) For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, code, etc. Detailed submission instructions can be found https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/submission.html. Ethical Concerns New in 2019: All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues. This could be simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or any potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harms to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Research Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the TPC will still evaluate ethical soundness of the work, just as they evaluate technical soundness. If there are questions about the ethics process, please contact the program committee co-chairs. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the TPC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise. Research Reproducibility ACM is promoting research reproducibility by encouraging papers to document the artifacts needed for others to reproduce their work. ACM has details at https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging. They will award accepted papers a "reproducibility badge" if the paper provides pointers to public code and other information as described at the above link. Authors who wish to participate in this process should document such information in an appendix to the paper. Information about reproducibility is not required at paper submission, but is required at camera ready. As an appendix, it will need to be provided to the shepherd with adequate time for review. While we encourage authors to participate, formal participation is not a factor in SIGCOMM reviewing. Important dates January 24, 2019, Abstract submission deadline January 31, 2019, Paper submission deadline May 10, 2019, Reviews returned to authors June 20, 2019, Camera-ready papers due August 19, 2019, Conference ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
