-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline EXTENDED: August 31, 2021) Datum: Mon, 24 May 2021 19:57:55 +0200 Von: Anna Kobusińska <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> Antwort an: Anna Kobusińska <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-AUGUST-2021 (EXTENDED) Acceptance deadline: 31-JANUARY-2022 (EXTENDED) Publication: EARLY 2022 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Papers will be peer-reviewed by independent reviewers and selected based on originality, scientific quality, and relevance to this Special Issue. The Guest Editors will make final decisions about the acceptance of the papers. Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Guide for Authors available from the online submission page of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. *GUEST EDITORS* Andrzej Goscinski Deakin University, Australia andrzej.goscinski(a)deakin.edu.au Flavia C.

It aims to bring together researchers working in the smart and connected health area around the world to exchange innovative ideas and begin collaborations. Connected health can be broadly defined as the use of the Internet, sensing, communications, and data analytics in support of medical and health-related applications, systems, and engineering technologies. Connected health is at the convergence of multiple domains and technologies and helps to shape foundational improvements to health delivery. In the future, improvements from Connected Health will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual and by replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring, and assessment. Connected health technologies will enable preventive health and personalized medicine and may significantly reduce healthcare costs. IEEE/ACM CHASE positions itself as a venue for science and engineering researchers to publish their research and discovery related to connected health, including those that have the potential to enable innovations but not yet ready for clinical studies. Building upon the success of its past five years, CHASE 2021 will be held in December 2021 to address challenges for enabling connected health worldwide. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original contributions covering completed or ongoing work related to the connected health area. We especially welcome submissions related to COVID-19 and other novel infectious diseases. CHASE 2021 will accept regular, short, special session, demo, and poster papers. Regular and short papers will have an option to be published in either ACM Proceedings or Elsevier Smart Health Journal. The Best Paper Award, the Best Student Paper Award, and the CHASE service award will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest and submission details are provided on the CHASE 2021 website (https://conferences.computer.org/chase2021/).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP]: MobiArch 21, 16th Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture at MobiCom 21 Datum: Tue, 18 May 2021 12:23:59 +0200 Von: Sahar HOTEIT <sahar.hoteit(a)CENTRALESUPELEC.FR> Antwort an: Sahar HOTEIT <sahar.hoteit(a)CENTRALESUPELEC.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies for cross-posting! Please consider contributing to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to: ================================================================================================== MobiArch 2021 the 16th Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture MobiArch 2021 <https://mobiarch2021.github.io/> co-located with MobiCom 2021 <https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2021/index.html> ================================================================================================== The last two decades have witnessed an extremely fast evolution of network technologies and an unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic. According to Cisco Annual Internet Report, over 70 percent of the global population will have mobile connectivity by 2023 and machine to machine (M2M) connections will be half of the global connected devices and connections. This trend is coming along with increased capabilities and intelligence of devices, hence offering great opportunities for research innovation and development. Globally, 5G network deployment is rapidly moving from trials to early commercialisation and is promising to provide higher data speeds at low latency and enhanced throughput to handle more simultaneous connections without causing disruptions. However, some issues and challenges have not been fully addressed in 5G mobile networks and they are attracting further research efforts. Among these issues, we mention the emerging applications challenges that are pushing the required quality of service QoS to extreme levels, the mobile edge computing issues for user mobility support in small cells, the tendency towards Open and smart RAN enabling interoperable interfaces and RAN virtualisation that are pushing embedded machine learning systems and artificial intelligence back end modules for an enhanced RAN intelligence. Furthermore, given the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the (wireless & wired) broadband Internet and mobility become more than a desired feature but now a mandate, from home office, online education and e-business to gaming and VR/AR/360-degree video for tourists and entertainment; as well as various outdoor activities... Hence, supporting the quality of experience QoE for users and business interactions becomes more critical for Internet-based infrastructure. All these challenges drive the need towards deep research on next generation mobile Internet system that tackles these issues while delivering new mobile services and defining the fundamental architectural components for the next generation mobile Internet. MobiArch'21 workshop will focus on the technical architecture issues for next generation mobile Internet, to tackle the aforementioned challenges. MobiArch 2021 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore the latest developments in mobile communication technologies and architectures. In addition, we encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussion at the workshop…. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on mobile network architecture Future Internet and next-generation networking architectures Mobile computing and networking architectures with 5G and beyond 5G Joint communication, computing, networking and computing architecture design Software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture Terahertz wireless communications Mobile internet architectures and technologies for connected autonomous vehicles and cooperative ITS Next generation heterogenous radio access networks Mobile internet architecture for massive and low-power IoT access and smart cities Mobile data sensing and fusion for big M2M data Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Information-Centric Networking for mobile networks and mobile computing Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning Location management, positioning, and data management for wireless and mobility Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support Resource orchestration in next-generation networks Field trials, deployment and evaluation of innovative mobile Internet architectures Blockchain application and SD-RAN systems Important Dates Deadline for submissions: May 21, 2021 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2021 Camera-ready version due: July 31, 2021 Workshop date: October 25, 2021 Submissions must be limited to 6 pages including references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for NetSys 2021 PhD Forum & Early Work Track (September 13 - 16, Lübeck, Germany) Submission Deadline Early Work: May 28 - PhD Forum Participation: July 23 Datum: Mon, 17 May 2021 11:39:46 +0200 Von: Oliver Hohlfeld <oliver(a)INET.TU-BERLIN.DE> Antwort an: Oliver Hohlfeld <oliver(a)INET.TU-BERLIN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for NetSys 2021 PhD Forum September 13 till 16, 2021 – Lübeck, Germany https://netsys2021.org/phd-forum/ The PhD Forum at the Networked Systems 2021 follows the tradition and format of similar events at international conferences such as ICNP, PerCom, or UbiComp. The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in any phase of their career with an opportunity to discuss the hidden secrets behind doing a PhD and general career advice – topics that are rarely openly discussed (e.g., finding research problems, managing your supervisor, …) - during the PhD Forum on Monday. Second, it additionally provides PhD students the option to present their early work as poster and to discuss it with experts to gain general technical feedback during the Early Work Presentation taking place at the main conference. Beyond, attending the PhD Forum is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. *What can I Expect?* *PhD Forum: The hidden secrets when doing your PhD* This is a dedicated meeting on Monday before the main conference, full of discussions and fun with your direct peers and us. The aim of the PhD Forum is the discussion of meta aspects and experiences regarding a PhD – the hidden secrets when doing your PhD and general career advice. Potential topics will be: - Deep PhD study in the time of digital distraction - Having a family + doing a PhD – are you crazy? - Continuously improving my skills: e.g., speed reading and ultra learning - Doctoral supervision: being supervised and being a supervisor - Best paper stories: targeting high and being rejected - Academic peer review: what are factors that determine paper acceptance / rejection and why are some of them random? - How dare you to steal my contributions?! Working in teams and writing a PhD thesis - Working internationally - Becoming a team leader and how to find good students - Hints on writing papers and making presentations – please don’t overload To tailor the discussion of meta aspects to your interest, attendance requires the submission of input in advance (e.g., questions on which we will organize the day) mentioned in the call below. As done at NetSys 2019, we will also invite keynote speakers who will report about their research journey from a PhD student to a leading expert. *Early Work Poster Presentation:* In addition to the PhD Forum, an early work poster presentation of selected participants will take place during a poster session at the main conference. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) during the main conference program is used to attract attention of conference participants to this early work poster session. The PhD Forum + Early Work Poster Presentation are special opportunities to discuss research plans and results face-to-face with professors and senior researchers in individual groups outside the own lab. *What should I submit – One Forum but Two Calls!* *Call PhD Forum attendance (always required):* The first call concerns the participation at the PhD Forum on Monday that focuses on discussing meta aspects concerning the PhD process (e.g., research, publication strategies, time management, …). If you plan to attend on Monday, submit to this call (no poster abstract required). If you plan to also submit an Early Work Poster Presentation (see next call), you must also submit to this call in addition. *What to submit:* Prospective participants should prepare an application that includes the following information: - Curriculum Vitae: a brief CV that lists the education and research interests of the PhD student. - A motivational letter (~1 page): the motivational letter should discuss the following aspects in the following order: - Motivation: why do do want to attend the PhD Forum and what do you expect from it? (1 paragraph) - Your research area and the specific problem that you would think to work on. (1 paragraph) - Questions you would like to discuss at the PhD Forum (e.g., how to find a good research problem, how to manage time, how to manage your supervisor, …). We will structure the PhD Forum on Monday around discussing your questions (>3 questions) Submission should be done electronically as PDF, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netsys2021 *Call Early Work Poster Presentation (optional, but expected for more experienced (> 1 year) PhD students):* For more experienced PhD students (> 1 year of their PhD) that want to present their preliminary work during our poster and madness session during the main conference. Note, however, also fresh PhD students can submit an early work proposal. *Student research competition:* We will award the best early work poster presentation (i.e., madness presentation and poster). The early work submissions will be peer reviewed by experts from the main conference. Submission implies that the PhD student registered for the PhD forum. That is, when submitting an early work poster, you must additionally have submitted to the PhD Forum call for attendance before (see above). Submission should be done electronically as PDF, via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netsys2021 *Submission Guidelines for Early Work Poster Presentation* All early work poster presentation submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication. Early work submissions are limited to 4 pages including figures and tables (at least 10pt font, one-column format) plus 1 page for references. LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting instructions, are available online here. Accepted and presented extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceeding. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference to present the poster. *Important Dates:* *Call Early Work Poster submissions* Registration & submission: *Friday, May 28th, 2021* Notification of acceptance: July 8, 2021 Camera ready version: July 22, 2021 *Call PhD Forum submissions* Registration & submission: *Friday, July 23, 2021* Notification of acceptance: Friday, July 30, 2021 PhD Forum: Monday, September 13, 2020 *PhD Forum Chairs* - Andreas Blenk – Technical University of Munich, Germany/University of Vienna, Faculty of Computer Science, Austria - Oliver Hohlfeld – Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), Germany -- Prof. Oliver Hohlfeld Chair of Computer Networks Brandenburg University of Technology https://www.b-tu.de/en/fg-rechnernetze www.ohohlfeld.com ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021)

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Anna Kobusińska" <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> Gesendet: 10. Mai 2021 22:09:06 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021) *CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-May-2021 Acceptance deadline: 31-Oct-2021 Publication: late 2021 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought.

The submission due date is 20 June 2021, 11:59:59pm AoE. Best Regards Pietro Manzoni Publicity co-chair, IEEE/ACM CHASE 2021 Universitat Politècnica de València, SPAIN ************************************************************************ IEEE/ACM CHASE 2021 December 17-18, 2021 Washington, D.C., USA https://conferences.computer.org/chase2021/ ************************************************************************ IEEE/ACM CHASE is a leading international conference in the field of connected health. It aims to bring together researchers working in the smart and connected health area around the world to exchange innovative ideas and begin collaborations. Connected health can be broadly defined as the use of the Internet, sensing, communications, and data analytics in support of medical and health-related applications, systems, and engineering technologies. Connected health is at the convergence of multiple domains and technologies and helps to shape foundational improvements to health delivery. In the future, improvements from Connected Health will be realized by providing rich medical information to each individual and by replacing infrequent, clinic-based measurements with unobtrusive, continuous sensing, monitoring, and assessment. Connected health technologies will enable preventive health and personalized medicine and may significantly reduce healthcare costs. IEEE/ACM CHASE positions itself as a venue for science and engineering researchers to publish their research and discovery related to connected health, including those that have the potential to enable innovations but not yet ready for clinical studies.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers *** Now Fully Virtual

08 May '21

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Jiasi Chen <jiasi(a)CS.UCR.EDU> Gesendet: 8. Mai 2021 07:47:10 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers *** Now Fully Virtual IEEE ICNP 2021 Call for Papers *** COVID-19 Update: Due to the current global COVID-19 pandemic situation, IEEE ICNP 2021 conference will be held as a full virtual conference. *** ICNP, the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is the premier conference covering all aspects of network protocol research, including design, analysis, specification, verification, implementation, and performance. ICNP 2021 will be held virtually from November 2-5, 2021. Website: https://icnp21.cs.ucr.edu/ Important Dates - Title/Abstract registration: May 17, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Full paper submission: May 24, 2021 (8:00 p.m. EDT) - Notification of acceptance: August 3, 2021 - Camera ready version: August 24, 2021 Scope The conference is soliciting paper submissions with significant research contributions to the field of network protocol research. Both experimental studies as well as formal investigations are equally welcome. Topics traditionally of interest include, but are not limited to: - All aspects of network protocol research including design, specification, verification, implementation, measurement, testing, and analysis. - Protocols for wireless networks, cellular networks, software-defined networks, data center networks, social networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and Internet of Things. - Domain-specific solutions, including protocols for network security, routing, user privacy, and network management. - Network protocols meet AI/ML, e.g., application of AI/Machine Learning to improve network protocols and operations; networking and protocols for improving the performance of AI/Machine Learning systems. - Contributions to network architecture, e.g., algorithms and protocols for network virtualization or future Internet architectures. - Contributions to other areas of data communications to the extent that they articulate a strong connection to network protocols, for example by discussing potential implications on the design or performance of certain types of network protocols. Authors who are unsure whether or not their submissions might fit the scope of the conference are welcome to contact the Program Committee co-Chairs. Paper Formatting Paper submissions should adhere to the IEEE Conference formatting requirements using the templates available here, and should not exceed 10 pages excluding references. It is the authors' responsibility to produce readable submissions that comply with the formatting constraints. Violating the formatting requirements to squeeze in additional materials will result in a submission being returned without being reviewed. Submission and Anonymity Policy Papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers (and that of the reviewers from the authors). Achieving this goal requires some care to, on the one hand, preserve the anonymity of your submission, and on the other hand ensuring proper coverage of related past work, including your own. While this requirement may seem challenging, the few basic steps listed below will go a long way towards achieving the desired outcome: - Remove all authors' identifiers, e.g., names, emails, and affiliations, from the title page. - Remove acknowledgments of and identifiers of funding sources. - Use anonymous names for your files, as source file names are often embedded in the final output you generate, and therefore accessible as comments. - When referring to your own related work, refer to it in the third person as you would with any other related work by another author. Besides anonymizing your submission, double-blind reviewing also imposes additional requirements on both authors and reviewers. Specifically, while it is permissible for authors to give local talks on their work and release their paper on a non-peer-reviewed location, e.g., an institutional repository or even arXiv, care should be exercised to limit public exposure as much as possible. This requirement includes refraining from advertising the work on mailing lists and public forums, and in general limiting as much as possible the odds that program committee members be exposed to the work and the authors’ identity. Conversely, program committee members will be advised to neither actively seek to “reverse engineer” the authors’ identity, nor to directly share with other program committee members any such information they may have acquired. All questions regarding possible breaches of the anonymity covenant that underlies the double-blind review process will be adjudicated by the Program Committee co-Chairs. All papers will be provisionally accepted and the final acceptance of any paper will be subject to shepherding by a member of the program committee. Submission and Plagiarism Policy Papers must present original contributions and can neither be previously published nor under review by another conference or journal. Papers containing plagiarized materials will be subject to the IEEE plagiarism policy and possible penalties and will be rejected without being reviewed. Best Paper Award and Fast-Track Journal Publication One of the accepted papers will be selected for the Best Paper award, and will be fast tracked to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, with a streamlined journal review process. Presentation and Registration Requirements IEEE ICNP requires that at least one of the authors of any accepted paper must register for the conference at the full rate and be available to present the paper at the conference. Due to ICNP 2021 being held virtually because of health considerations, authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their papers remotely, and those papers will be included in the conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore. However, any paper that is not presented by an author of the paper will be withdrawn from the proceedings and thus from IEEE Xplore. At least one author from each accepted paper will be expected to register at the full rate. Technical Program Chairs Y.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Wi-DroIT 2021 Datum: Fri, 30 Apr 2021 13:04:22 +0200 Von: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] CALL FOR PAPERS Wi-DroIT 2021 – 3rd International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things July 14–16, 2021 – Virtual Event co-located with DCOSS 2021 Website: https://widroit2021.github.io Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2021 Due to the evolution of the health pandemic, the event will be held fully on-line. This will not impact the publication of the DCOSS 2021 proceedings and accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore Proceedings. The virtual program will include live sessions of invited speakers and author presentations, possibly supplemented by online material such as the papers, presentation slides and videos. Aims and Scope Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted for. For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing. Topics of Interest - Autonomous sensing via UAVs - Topology monitoring with UAVs - Remote sensing networks via UAVs - Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT - Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT - Precision agriculture and UAVs - Crops monitoring in agriculture - Bugs monitoring in agriculture - UAVs for environmental monitoring - Autopilot and UAS autonomy - UAVs path planning and scheduling - Parcel delivery using UAVs - Cellular networks and UAVs - Constrained and multi-objectives problems - Sensors localization with UAVs - UAVs tracking techniques - Cooperative control of multiple UAVs - Cyber-security communications and UAVs - Optimal UAV deployment strategies - Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs - Single UAV applications - Multi-UAV applications - Energy-efficient UAV communications - Machine learning for UAV communications Important dates - Abstract Submission: May 14, 2021 - Paper Submission: May 21, 2021 - Acceptance Notification: June 11, 2021 - Final manuscript, camera ready: June 18, 2021 Submission Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to Wi-DroIT topics of interest.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FMEC 2021 CFP: The Sixth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing Datum: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 06:24:15 -0400 Von: Stanley Ewenike <stanley.ewenike92(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Stanley Ewenike <stanley.ewenike92(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Sixth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2021) http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2021/index.php Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021 *FMEC 2021 CFP:* Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or the Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2021 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2021 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).

Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations can support the possibility of the paper’s claims. > > We seek early-stage work, where the authors can benefit from community feedback. An ideal submission has the potential to open a line of inquiry for the community that results in multiple conference papers in related venues (SIGCOMM, NSDI, CoNEXT, SOSP, OSDI, MobiCom, MobiSys, etc.), rather than a single follow-on conference paper. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over “conference papers in miniature”. Finished work that fits in a short paper is likely a better fit with the short-paper tracks at either CoNEXT or IMC, for example. > > HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) mobile, wide-area, data-center, home, and enterprise networks using a variety of link technologies (wired, wireless, visual, and acoustic), as well as social networks and network architecture. It encompasses all aspects of networks, including (but not limited to) packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, provisioning and resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness and security, measurement, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics and evolution, interactions with applications, and usability of underlying networking technologies. > > Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of stimulating insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and will be published in the ACM Digital Library to facilitate wide dissemination of the ideas discussed at the workshop. > > Policy on Concurrent Submissions > Concurrent submissions to HotNets 2021 and any other peer-reviewed venue that cover the same work (differences in the degree of detail given the two venues’ length limits notwithstanding) are prohibited, and will result in the immediate rejection of the HotNets submission in question. “Concurrent” means any other peer-reviewed venue whose reviewing period (i.e., between submission and notification) overlaps with that of HotNets. The “same work” means, for example, a submission overlapping significantly in content with a conference submission. However, a position paper submitted to HotNets (e.g., that reflects broadly on the state of some aspect of the field, adopts a position as to how the field should move forward, or articulates a broad avenue of future work) will not be considered the “same work” as a conference-length paper on a specific system that addresses a point under the broad umbrella covered by the position paper. Authors with questions about the concurrent submission policy are encouraged to contact the PC chairs (Minlan and Laurent) prior to submitting. > > Ethical Concerns > As part of the submission process, authors must attest that their work complies with all applicable ethical standards of their home institution(s), including, but not limited to privacy policies and policies on experiments involving humans. Note that submitting research for approval by one’s institution’s ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient – in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will have its own discussion of the ethics of that work. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and authors agree to be available at any time during the review process to rapidly respond to queries from the PC chairs regarding ethical standards. > > Submission and Formatting > Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages (10 point font, 12 point leading, 7 inch by 9.25 inch text block) including all content except references. There are no limits for reference pages. The archive (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2021/hotnets21-template.zip) contains a LaTeX class file that follows the prescribed submission format and an example of a paper formatted using that class. > > All submissions must be blind: they must not indicate the names or affiliations of the authors in the paper. Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submissions must be written in English, render without error using standard tools (e.g., Acrobat Reader), and print on US Letter paper. Papers must contain novel ideas and must differ significantly in content from previously published papers. > > Submit papers on the HotNets 2021 HotCRP web site: > https://hotnets21.hotcrp.com/ > > Important Dates > Abstract deadline: June 18, 2021 (6 pm EDT) > Paper submission deadline: June 25, 2021 (6 pm EDT) > Acceptance/rejection notification: August 27, 2021 > Camera-ready deadline: TBD > > > General Chairs > Andrew Moore (Cambridge) > Srinivasan Keshav (Cambridge) > > Program Chairs > Minlan Yu (Harvard) > Laurent Vanbever (ETH Zurich) > > Publicity Chair > Aaron Ding (TU Delft) > > Publications Chair > Gianni Antichi (Queen Mary University London) > > Program Committee > Amin Vahdat (Google) > Anees Shaikh (Google) > Anja Feldmann (MPI) > Aurojit Panda (NYU) > Behnaz Arzani (Microsoft Research) > Brighten Godfrey (UIUC and VMware) > Bruce Maggs (Duke University, Emerald Innovations and MIT) > Chunyi Peng (Purdue University) > Costin Raiciu (University Politehnica of Bucharest) > Dongsu Han (KAIST) > Ellen Zegura (Georgia Institute of Technology) > Fadel Adib (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) > Junchen Jiang (University of Chicago) > Kai Chen (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) > Kyle Jamieson (Princeton) > Larry Peterson (Open Networking Foundation) > Michael Schapira (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) > Mina Tahmasbi Arashloo (Cornell University) > Nick Feamster (University of Chicago) > Ori Rottenstreich (Technion) > Paolo Costa (Microsoft Research) > Peter Steenkiste (CMU) > Phillipa Gill (Google) > Radhika Niranjan Mysore (VMWare) > Rajalakshmi Nandakumar (Cornell Tech) > Ratul Mahajan (University of Washington, Intentionet) > Srinivas Narayana (Rutgers University) > Xin Jin (Peking University) > Ying Zhang (Facebook) > Zafar Ayyub Qazi (LUMS) > > > ______________________________________________________________ > IEEE Communications Society Tech.
