-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-l] Call for NetSys 2021 PhD Forum & Early Work Track (September 13 - 16, Lübeck, Germany) Submission Deadline Early Work: June 13 (extended) - PhD Forum Participation: July 23 Datum: Mon, 7 Jun 2021 10:05:15 +0200 Von: Oliver Hohlfeld <oliver.hohlfeld(a)b-tu.de> An: kuvs-l(a)lists.gi.de Please note that we extended the deadline for the early work poster submission to June 13, 2021 Call for NetSys 2021 PhD … [View More]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, June 13th, 2021* (extended) 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 _______________________________________________ KUVS-L mailing list -- kuvs-l(a)lists.gi.de To unsubscribe send an email to kuvs-l-leave(a)lists.gi.de [View Less]

In the 6G era, with the hyper-connectivity among humans and everything, we are anticipating Internet of Things (IoT) applications in various fields, including smart city, smart factory, smart home, smart grid, e-health, and smart transportation, accompanied by new services with rich experiences, such as truly immersive VR/AR/MR (XR), high-fidelity mobile hologram, and digital twins. However, in order to facilitate these emerging IoT applications, we have to discuss the following issues. First, due to the heterogeneity of networking entities, various application requirements, and limited resources in IoT environments, greener and more advanced networking, caching, and computing technologies are required. Future IoT systems feature a larger number of devices and multi-access environments where different types of wireless spectrum, including Sub-6 GHz, Millimeter-wave, and Terahertz technologies, should be efficiently utilized. At the same time, a resource-efficient task processing architecture should be designed in order to deal with the limited storage and computational capability of mobile devices. All these requirements motivate us to investigate the collaboration among different network entities to achieve joint optimization under heterogeneous communication, caching, and computing resources. As an example, it is crucial to determine the type and amount of data to be shared, stored, and processed among the network entities with heterogeneous characteristics. Second, the network environment and system requirements change with the space and time domains, which require intelligent approaches in perception, networking, and control. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches have been attracting great interest in empowering computer systems. Since the centralized learning approaches face some challenges in terms of scalability, some collaborative learning approaches, such as federated learning and multi-agent systems, have been discussed recently to reduce networking overhead and improve learning efficiency. Based on refined AI technologies, collaborative intelligence can achieve better decisions by aggregating knowledge and enabling efficient coordination among multiple agents with a light communication overhead. It is envisioned that the collaborative intelligence is the enabler for collaborative IoT systems. For instance, it enables: a) collaborative communications over different types of wireless spectrum among multiple transmitters for improving the spectrum utilization efficiency; b) collaborative caching among multiple network entities for reducing service latency; and c) collaborative computing with a resource-efficient end-edge-cloud task processing framework for satisfying diverse requirements on the tremendous amount of real-time data processing, including extremely large throughput, and ultra-low latency. In order to enable a greener and smarter society, more research efforts should be conducted on collaborative intelligence for IoT systems to expedite the applications of emerging IoT technologies. An efficient use of cross-domain big data should be discussed, and academic-industrial collaborations should be promoted to solve the existing problems. This special issue focuses on the technical challenges for enabling collaborative intelligence in IoT systems toward a greener and smarter society. Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that advance the state of the art on topics including, but not limited to: Agent theory and Green IoT applications in the 6G era Cognitive modeling of Green IoT systems in the 6G era Collaborative and distributed IoT systems and control Collaborative Green IoT frameworks in the 6G era Collaborative Green IoT technologies for 6G services Collaborative intelligence based on cross-domain big data for Green IoT Collaborative intelligence for Green IoT systems Collaborative intelligence security of IoT in the 6G era Computation-efficient collaborative intelligence approaches for IoT systems in the 6G era Data driven collaborative intelligence for Green IoT Energy-efficient collaborative intelligence approaches for IoT Group decision making for Green IoT systems Human-machine cooperation for Green IoT systems Intelligent collaborative processing for Green IoT Multi-agent systems for Green IoT in the 6G era Important Dates Manuscript Submission: 10 December 2021 First Review Results: 10 February 2022 Second Review Results: 30 March 2022 Publication: June 2022 GUEST EDITORS  Celimuge Wu, The University of Electro-Communications, Japan  Kok-Lim Alvin Yau, Sunway University, Malaysia  Zonghua Zhang, Huawei France Research Center, France  Damla Turgut, University of Central Florida, USA  Shiwen Mao, Auburn University, USA ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC 2021) Datum: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 13:34:51 +0200 Von: Michele Segata <michele.segata(a)UNIBZ.IT> Antwort an: Michele Segata <michele.segata(a)UNIBZ.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, please find below the CfP for IEEE VNC 2021. IEEE VNC 2021 - Call for Papers 13th IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) … [View More] November 10-12, 2021 Ulm, Germany https://ieee-vnc.org/2021/ Now in its 13th year, VNC has been the primary venue for people interested in vehicular communication to meet. Last year, VNC 2020 featured a very different format. While some attendees called it the best online-conference they attended in 2020, not meeting in person is only the second best option. In 2021, the organizing team is therefore committed to bring back the opportunity to meet in-person again. As the development of the pandemic over the next months and thus the possibilities to travel to and meet in a conference venue in November are hard to predict, we made the decision to plan VNC 2021 in a hybrid format where we aim for an equally good conference experience for both presenters and attendees no matter if you attend on-site or remotely. You will be able to register for the online conference and book an add-on package for on-site participation even on relatively short notice, leaving you all options open as long as possible. We therefore encourage authors to submit their papers to VNC 2021 and enjoy the best of both worlds: on-site presentations and meetings with the VNC community if possible; or an excellent online experience if travel cannot be arranged. VNC 2021 is seeking for full and short papers, poster and demo papers about the following topics. Connectivity - 5G and beyond-5G technologies for connected vehicles - Emerging V2X communication technologies, including dynamic spectrum sharing, mmWave, massive MIMO, beamforming, and vehicular visible light communications - Networking, transport and QoS management for vehicular networks - In-vehicle communication and networking systems - Radio for vehicular networks (e.g., channel measurements, propagation models, antenna design) Architecture and System Design - Heterogeneous vehicular networking (e.g., multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology, multi-operator) and coexistence of access technologies - Architectures and system designs for connected automated driving - Cloud and edge computing for vehicular applications - Security, privacy, liability, and dependability of vehicular networks - Integration of V2C communications with on-board systems and networks Tools & Methods - Hardware and software platforms for simulation, emulation, prototyping, measurement, and/or real-world deployment of vehicular networks and applications - Field measurements and/or real-world deployments of vehicular networks and applications - Optimization techniques (e.g., linear programming, machine learning) with unique benefits for vehicular applications - Modeling, design, and analysis of vehicular networks and applications Applications - Cooperative perception and cooperative driving - Innovative vehicular network applications and their communication requirements - Vulnerable road user protection - Vehicular networks and IoT integration - Impact assessments of vehicular networks on transportation (e.g., safety, efficiency, comfort, privacy, and environmental sustainability) All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The Best Paper Award, selected by a committee, will be given to the paper with the highest impact. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Deadlines: ---------- 10 Jul 2021: Paper submissions due 1 Sep 2021: Poster and Demo submissions due 16 Sep 2021: Acceptance notifications 30 Sep 2021: Camera ready versions due 10 Nov 2021: Conference starts (virtually and in Ulm, Germany) Submission Types: ----------------- The conference will consider four categories of submissions: Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will be declined automatically and will not be reviewed. Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work-in-progress without fully finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussions about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. They are limited to at most two (2) pages and their title must begin with "Poster:". Demonstration (demo) papers are suited for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. They are limited to at most two (2) pages and their title must begin with "Demo:". Please note that these categories (in particular: full paper and short paper) target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to one category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted in the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected (in particular: full papers will not be "downgraded" to short papers). Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. Submission Process: ------------------- Submitted papers must be IEEE compliant Adobe PDF files written in English, formatted in standard IEEE two-column format with a font size no less than 10-point. Reviewing is not double-blind, so authors may include their names, affiliations, and other identifying information in submitted manuscripts. Only compliant files will be accepted for review. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS.

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….

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.

Sincerely, Wenjia Li, Ph.D., SMIEEE Publicity chair, IEEE/ACM CHASE 2021 Associate Professor, Computer Science New York Institute of Technology New York City, NY, USA ************************************************************************ 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. 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/). Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Applications * Healthcare data mining * Medical imaging * Personalized medicine & preventive treatment * Evolutionary and longitudinal patient and disease models * Security, privacy, and trust for connected health services/applications * Systems * Biomedical sensor systems * Body area and implantable sensor networks * Remote medical diagnosis systems * Communication and decision support systems for connected health * Datasets, measurement, testbed and performance evaluation * Engineering Technologies * Machine learning for connected health * Social interactions and interventions * Smart garments/textiles * Virtual and augmented reality for health systems * Communication/network infrastructures and protocols * Robotics for connected health All submissions must be formatted in standard IEEE style (double column, 10pt font).

Please consider contributing to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to … [View More]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, … [View More]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.

-------- 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:* … [View More]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.

We require each paper to be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and submitted through the conference submission system. Papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), should briefly describe how the research protocol addresses ethical considerations and whether their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library at most two weeks before the conference.

The proliferation of IoT devices as well as the numerous use cases reveal the very promising potentials of IoT in revolutionizing several aspects of common activities as well as business processes. The vision of interconnecting billions of devices in a holistic network, where machines communicate along with traditional human communications is now being realized, towards the formation of the Internet of Everything (as called by Cisco). The workshop focuses on Industrial Internet of Things systems and applications, which represent the highest value segment of the IoT market. The heavy research endeavors of last years have provided efficient solutions and enhanced technologies that enable the creation of such a network, overcoming several challenges stemming from the special attributes of device-to-device communications, embedded devices, and big data management. The new challenge is to identify efficient ways of integrating IoT technologies in contemporary applications exploiting the potentials of real-time monitoring, interactive control, self-management, and data analytics towards “smart” behavior and enhanced performance. The main scope of the “IoT Applications and Industry 4.0” (IoTI4) workshop is to identify and promote new techniques for the realization of promising IoT applications in various areas, including Industry 4.0 scenarios. ***Topics of Interest (not limited to)*** The topics of interest revolve around IoT techniques (including networking, platforms, middleware, data analysis, security) for all applications such as: - Industry 4.0 - Smart Electric Grids - Smart Farming - Environmental Telemetry - Smart City - Smart Home - Renewable Energy - Remote E-health - Vehicular Networks - Autonomous Vehicles - Flying Networks - Sensor Networks - Wearables - Smart Retails and Supply Chain - Industrial Internet of Things Architectures - Design and Implementation of Cyber Physical Production Systems - Multi-Sensor Systems for Automated Data Collection in Industrial Environment. - Industrial Internet of Things Systems that comprise Smart Objects (Drones, Robots, Autonomous Guided Vehicle) - Performance Analysis and Evaluation of Industrial Internet of Things Systems - Cybersecurity in Industrial Internet of Things Environments - Framework for Convergence of IT and OT Security - Distributed Data Analytics for Machine Intelligence - Industrial IoT Technologies for Flexible Production Lines - Internet of Things Analytics for Digital Simulations and Digital Twins - Analytics for Production Monitoring - Advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Approaches for Industrial Use Cases - Industrial IoT Use Cases like digital automation, predictive maintenance and zero defect production - Industrial IoT cases studies in sectors like manufacturing, energy, oil & gas, mining and supply chain management ***Organizing Committee*** - Thomas Lagkas, International Hellenic University, Greece - Panagiotis Sarigiannidis, University of Western Macedonia, Greece - John Soldatos, INTRASOFT International, Luxemburg ***Technical Program Committee (to be updated)*** - Vasileios Argyriou, Kingston University, UK - Paolo Bellavista, University of Bologna, Italy - Stamatia Bibi, University of Western Macedonia, Greece - George Eleftherakis, University of York Europe Campus - CITY College, Greece - Carlo Giannelli, University of Ferrara, Italy - Fabrizio Granelli, University of Trento, Italy - Dimitris Karampatzakis, International Hellenic University, Greece - Konstantinos Loupos, INLECOM, Greece - Pierluigi Petrali, Whirlpool Europe Srl, Italy - Konstantinos Rantos, International Hellenic University, Greece - Ivana Podnar Zarko, University of Zagreb, Croatia - Jie Zhang, University of Sheffield, UK - Urko Zurutuza, Mondragon University, Spain ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
