-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline: May 31, 2021) Datum: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 14:21:20 +0100 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-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.

11 Mar '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Elsevier Vehicular Communications - Special Issue on Revolutionary Paradigms for Smart Connected Vehicles in the 6G Era (Deadline approaching) Datum: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 17:09:22 +0100 Von: Marica Amadeo <marica.amadeo(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Marica Amadeo <marica.amadeo(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier Vehicular Communications (2019 IF: 4.706) Special Issue on “Revolutionary Paradigms for Smart Connected Vehicles in the 6G Era” https://www.journals.elsevier.com/vehicular-communications/call-for-papers/… ================================================================== By jointly involving multiple challenging requirements, such as ultra-high reliable and ultra-low latency communications, high efficiency and capacity, intelligent driving is one of the most ambitious and attractive applications of the 6G initiatives. Although the convergence of communication, caching, control and computing (4C) resources can be leveraged to effectively enable 6G services and applications over vehicle-to-everything (V2X) channels, multiple challenges must be addressed to allow connected vehicles to meet the 6G requirements, to securely and efficiently orchestrate their resources and to develop self-organizing and self-sustaining capabilities. Emerging communication paradigms that make effective data transmission in very high dynamic contexts include the reprogrammability of the environment by the means of Reprogrammable Intelligent Metasurfaces (RIMs). Moreover, Visible Light Communication (VLC) can improve the reliability of V2X interactions and be effective in terms of security and enhanced data rate. With focus on networking aspects, Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can bring programmability, flexibility and scalability in connected vehicles, simplify network management and promote an efficient and fair use of the distributed 4C resources and programmable metasurfaces. They can be complemented by revolutionary networking models, such as Information Centric Networking (ICN), to provide distributed caching and computing services. This special issue aims to collect proposals that deal with revolutionary communication and networking technologies for connected vehicles, in a holistic fashion or at different layers, to meet the expectations of the 6G era. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Software-defined vehicular networks Vehicular cloud computing in the 6G era Fog/edge computing architectures for connected vehicles Integration of SDN/NFV and vehicular cloud computing Information Centric Networking for Connected Vehicles Impact of connected vehicles on transportation safety, management, characterization, and prediction Mobile sensing networking, sensor data collection and multi-modal fusion Caching strategies for connected vehicles Joint management of communication, control, computing and caching for 6G vehicular applications and services Optical wireless technologies for 6G vehicular applications and services Reprogrammable and Intelligent Metasurfaces for smart connected vehicles Secure and privacy-preserving communications in 6G vehicular networks ================================================================== TIMELINE Paper submission: 31 March 2021 Acceptance notification: 30 June 2021 Final papers: 30 July 2021 ================================================================== SUBMISSION FORMAT AND GUIDELINE All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/vehicular-communications/2214-2096/guide-…. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the paper submission system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/VEHCOM/default.aspx . The authors must select as “VSI: Smart Vehicle - Amadeo” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. The system is open for submissions.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "JeongGil (John) Ko" <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 9. März 2021 03:06:13 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - ACM MobiCom 2021 *Call For Papers – ACM MobiCom 2021* *Winter Deadline Approaching!* *Important Dates (Winter Deadline)* Abstract Registration: March 19, 2021 23:59 EDT Paper Submission: March 26, 2021 23:59 EDT Notification of Acceptance: June 11, 2021 *Important Changes* · *Double-blind.* This CFP has updated its double-blind review policy and particularly added how to handle preprints (such as arXiv). Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Conflict-of-interest (COI).* It is the authors’ responsibility to claim the true COIs from the TPC members. Violated submissions will be returned without reviews. · *Resubmission.* We have added a new policy on previous submissions, which may request the authors to additionally submit the summary of changes from the previous version. · *Anonymous shepherding.* Note that MobiCom performs an anonymous and rigorous shepherding process for all conditionally accepted papers. Shepherded papers will be accepted only after completing a successful shepherding process, which usually takes 4-6 weeks. The ACM MobiCom conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the field of wireless networking and mobile computing. MobiCom solicits papers that address important research challenges, including but not limited to communication networks, energy, computing, security, and user experience. Successful papers should propose novel ideas to attack such problems through rigorous analysis, system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems, and applications. We want MobiCom ’21 to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. The more novel the concept, the harder it can be to fully develop or evaluate all aspects, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss not only the significance but also the limitations of their ideas. We strongly encourage authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. MobiCom continues the two-deadline model and the reviewing process with a one-shot revision to improve the quality and timeliness of publications. *Topics* We invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: · Applications of machine learning to mobile/wireless research · Backscatter communication and wireless power · Edge computing · Embedded and energy-harvesting systems · Experimental platforms and infrastructures for wireless/mobile research · Implanted and wearable computing · Intersection between mobile/wireless research, cloud computing, and software-defined networking · Long-range/Low-power wide-area wireless networking · Low-latency networking · Machine-to-machine communications · Millimeter wave and terahertz communications · Mobile data science & analysis · Mobile health · Mobile networks (5G and beyond) · Mobile web, video, virtual reality, and other applications · Novel applications of wireless signals · Robotic and drone-based networking · Security and privacy issues/solutions for mobile/wireless systems · Sensing with radio, light, sound, and acoustics · Ubiquitous computing and mobile human computer interaction · Visible light communications · Wireless localization and tracking In addition to *full* research papers as described above, MobiCom also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear a "Verification:" as a prefix. Two Deadlines and One-shot Revision MobiCom ’21 offers authors the options of two deadlines and adds a one-shot revision process to enhance the timeliness and quality of the scientific results from the research community. Each paper will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as in previous MobiCom conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: · *Accept*: Accepted papers will be presented at the MobiCom conference and appear as part of the proceedings and the MobiCom website. Note all the papers in this category will initially be *conditionally accepted*. The papers that go through a successful *anonymous* shepherding process will eventually be accepted. · *Reject*: Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted until 11 months have passed since the last MobiCom deadline they were submitted to. We strongly encourage the authors to address the feedback they got before re-submitting the paper to MobiCom. · *One-Shot-Revision*: Papers, where a revision is required, will be given specific action points and can be resubmitted for the *next* deadline. For such papers, the reviewers will articulate a maximum of three major changes/clarifications that they would like to see. After the resubmission, the paper will be evaluated based on whether the authors have properly addressed the reviewers’ requests. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results and could take more than 4-6 weeks. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to MobiCom and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. Additional details on the paper submission process can be found at https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2021/cfp.html. Please refer to the Call for Papers page on the ACM MobiCom 2021 website for important information regarding the paper submission and review process. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

With the widespread use of automobile and other vehicles, research studies of future vehicular networks are urgently needed to meet the service requirements of connected vehicular users pave the way for the future development of autonomous ecosystems. The future vehicular networks can become much more challenging than current conventional vehicular systems in terms of autonomous controls, security, and high mobility, connectivity and compatibility. With the emergence of new communication technologies and applications, the important features such as intelligent network functionalities, large-scale network deployments, and smart integrated services are greatly in demand. Recently, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) enabled distributed intelligence has become a promising approach to address the aforementioned intelligent data and service challenges in the premise of large-scale decentralized vehicular networks. Distributed intelligence exploits the computational capabilities of edge components (e.g., vehicles) in future vehicular networks. Previously unmanageable network and service problems under centralized system architectures can be efficiently solved by applying distributed approaches, e.g., crowd intelligence, multi-agent learning, and edge computing. Future vehicular networks will benefit from distributed intelligence. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel vehicular network techniques enabled by distributed intelligence, addressing various challenges related to future vehicular networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: § Distributed intelligence theories, frameworks, and algorithms for future vehicular networks § Distributed intelligence for physical layer and infrastructure issues in future vehicular networks § Distributed intelligence for MAC and network routing in future vehicular networks § Distributed intelligence empowered vehicular networks in the 5G, 6G systems and beyond § Mobile and edge intelligence frameworks and algorithms design for future vehicular networks § Distributed and collaborative machine learning for future vehicular networks § Distributed data privacy, security, and data persistence approaches in future vehicular networks § Distributed intelligence enabled green and energy-efficient vehicular networks § Market models and network economics in future vehicular networks with distributed intelligence § Simulations, experiments, and testbeds of distributed intelligence for future vehicular networks § Distributed intelligence in automatic driving, traffic engineering, and other related transportation studies § Use cases and applications highlighting distributed intelligence for future vehicular networks IMPORTANT DATES Manuscript submission: 15 April 2021 Notification of Authors: 15 June 2021 Revised Manuscripts Due: 30 June 2021 Final Editorial Decision: 15 July 2021 Final Papers Due: 30 July 2021 Publication Date: Fourth Quarter 2021 ----------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Manuscripts need to be submitted through the journal’s submission website at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ojvt <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ojvt>.

Although the convergence of communication, caching, control and computing (4C) resources can be leveraged to effectively enable 6G services and applications over vehicle-to-everything (V2X) channels, multiple challenges must be addressed to allow connected vehicles to meet the 6G requirements, to securely and efficiently orchestrate their resources and to develop self-organizing and self-sustaining capabilities. Emerging communication paradigms that make effective data transmission in very high dynamic contexts include the reprogrammability of the environment by the means of Reprogrammable Intelligent Metasurfaces (RIMs). Moreover, Visible Light Communication (VLC) can improve the reliability of V2X interactions and be effective in terms of security and enhanced data rate. With focus on networking aspects, Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can bring programmability, flexibility and scalability in connected vehicles, simplify network management and promote an efficient and fair use of the distributed 4C resources and programmable metasurfaces. They can be complemented by revolutionary networking models, such as Information Centric Networking (ICN), to provide distributed caching and computing services. This special issue aims to collect proposals that deal with revolutionary communication and networking technologies for connected vehicles, in a holistic fashion or at different layers, to meet the expectations of the 6G era. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Software-defined vehicular networks Vehicular cloud computing in the 6G era Fog/edge computing architectures for connected vehicles Integration of SDN/NFV and vehicular cloud computing Information Centric Networking for Connected Vehicles Impact of connected vehicles on transportation safety, management, characterization, and prediction Mobile sensing networking, sensor data collection and multi-modal fusion Caching strategies for connected vehicles Joint management of communication, control, computing and caching for 6G vehicular applications and services Optical wireless technologies for 6G vehicular applications and services Reprogrammable and Intelligent Metasurfaces for smart connected vehicles Secure and privacy-preserving communications in 6G vehicular networks ================================================================== TIMELINE Paper submission: 31 March 2021 Acceptance notification: 30 June 2021 Final papers: 30 July 2021 ================================================================== SUBMISSION FORMAT AND GUIDELINE All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference.

We sincerely hope that by that time, we are able to travel and to meet up with friends and colleagues in person in Avignon. For now, we want to be open to the option for ITC to be an in-person event and we are proceeding with the plans for the conference under that assumption. However, we will grant virtual conference attendance to be possible as well for those unable or unwilling to travel by means of virtual attendance. The International Teletraffic Congress ITC 33, to be held during 31/08-03/09 2021, at the Avignon University, France, is the 33th edition of this international flagship congress in the field of networking science and practice. ITC was founded back in 1955 by enthusiastic scientists and engineers who were willing to deploy networks in a holistic way. Since then, it has established a multi-decade tradition as the primary forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in the broad areas of teletraffic models, network systems, and measurements. ITC 33 focuses on the future networks taking advantage of 5G and artificial intelligence (AI), towards “AI-integrated Networks”. Indeed, service providers from all over the world are already reaping the benefits of integrating AI into their networks. For ITC 33, cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking, ranging from traffic engineering and control with application also to emerging softwarized/virtualized network paradigms, up to innovative wireless scenarios brought about by the emergence of 5G and IoT systems. We especially encourage original contributions which bridge the gap between performance modeling and real-life operational aspects, including works which leverage measurement data to provide a better understanding of the wired and wireless networks operation under realistic conditions. ITC 33 solicits original contributions that address the latest changes and developments in design, modelling, measurement, and performance evaluation of communication systems, networks, and services. ITC 33 is structured into eight different areas. The objectives in these areas include, among others, energy-efficiency and green IT, network security and privacy, QoS and QoE, and resilience. The technical sessions will be structured around, but are not limited to, the following topics: • Performance Evaluation, Control and Optimization • Network Measurements and Big Data • Networking Architectures and Paradigms • Wireless and Cellular Networks • Data Center Networking for Cloud Computing Design and Operation • Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization • Networking for Edge and Fog Computing • Network Economics Besides the general submissions, ITC33 encourages submissions for the *Ph.D. workshop* and special sessions which will be detailed in the upcoming communications. Finally, ITC 33 will offer a number of *student travel grants* that will be available to support full-time students for attending the conference. A dedicated call for workshops will be detailed in the upcoming communications. The conference will feature a best paper award and a best student paper award. Papers receiving best paper awards of the conference will be invited for fast-track reviews by IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering. Important dates Friday April 2, 2021: Paper registration deadline Friday April 9, 2021: Submission deadline Monday May 31, 2021: Expected notification date Monday June 21, 2021: Camera-ready deadline Tuesday August 31 - Friday September 3, 2021: Conference dates For detailed information and deadlines, please check the website.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems
by Lars Wolf 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 03:58:39 -0800 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org> Antwort an: mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Call for papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) Special Issue on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scope --------- Several recent developments like the advent of the Internet-of-Things, network softwarization, mission-critical applications, and artificial intelligence have posed challenges for the Internet, and more generally for networks and distributed systems: (1: IoT) The Internet-of-Things will boost the number of Internet nodes well beyond the billions, leads to new traffic patterns (e.g., high-frequency low-volume), and accelerates the other developments described hereafter. (2: SDN++) Softwarization "conquers" the net. What has started with SDN and NFV will continue to lead to more flexibility and enable disruptive change, such as the competitive co-existence of old and new, e.g., content-centric, world-wide networks. As this softwarization significantly increases the complexity of today's networks, new and more security problems will result. Moreover, softwarization comes at a performance price, which is at odds with mission-critical, real-time communication. (3: MCA) Mission-critical applications, formerly confined to dedicated real-time systems and (TSN, industrial Ethernet, ...) networks, are conquering public and wide area networks. This impacts technologies and protocols (such as 5G URLLC) as well as architectures, such as approaches to move cloud functionality closer to the action scene, e.g., via fog and edge computing. (4: AI.net) The resurgence of AI, evoked by stunning successes of machine learning, boosts the need for computing resources that cannot be embedded in myriads of IoT devices and energy-critical handhelds like smartphones. This and the need for joint processing, requires shuffling 'big data' from the action scene to those resources, accelerating the need for offloading approaches and, depending on the application and the distribution of stakeholders, aggravating the three afore-mentioned challenges. These four challenges - abbreviated as IoT, SDN++, MCA, and AI - are densely interwoven, both mutually supporting and mutually aggravating each other. In the TOIT special issue, we bring together contributions to all four challenges and seek to track down their positive and negative interdependencies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --------------------------------------------------- * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and their application in, and impacts on, networking * Evolution from cloud computing to mobile cloud, fog and edge computing * Consistency, reliability, availability, and programming support for meeting the MCA challenge in networks * Contributions to the four challenges in context of cyber-physical systems * Emerging networked applications * Green and energy-efficient networks and networked systems * Information-centric networking, content distribution and retrieval, and their co-existence with classical networks * Network architectures and protocols * Approaches to the pertinent network security and privacy aspects * Methods for design, implementation, and analysis of networked systems considering the recent challenges and advances * Pertinent middleware architectures and platforms for networked systems * Pertinent concepts for mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular, sensor networks * Advancements to software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and further network softwarization * Reflection of recent challenges in SoA, web services, and mobile services * Advancements in social networks, social computing, data-intensive computing * Novel concepts for tactile and low-latency communication * Transport- and application-layer protocols in response to the four challenges Submission Instructions ----------------------- Please refer to http://toit.acm.org/authors.cfm for submission instructions. Submit your paper at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acm/toit and select the SI “Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems”. However, please be aware that the submission will not be possible until one month before the actual deadline. Important Dates --------------- * Manuscript submission: 31 March 2021 * First notification: 31 June 2021 * Revised version: 31 August 2021 * Final notification: 30 September 2021 * Final paper due: 15 October 2021 * Publication date: To be scheduled 2021/2022 Guest Editors ------------- * Prof. Jörg Liebherr, University of Toronto, Canada * Prof. Mathias Fischer, Universität Hamburg, Germany * Prof. Max Mühlhäuser, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Prof. Winfried Lamersdorf, Universität Hamburg, Germany Fur further information, please email mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org <https://drive.google.com/u/0/settings/storage?hl=de&utm_medium=web&utm_sour…> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Final CFP: The 4th Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21) co-located with ACM EuroSys 2021 Datum: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 11:59:59 +0100 Von: Matthew Danish <mrd45(a)CAM.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call.) This is the final call for papers. ----------------------------------------------- The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21) co-located with EuroSys 2021 26 April, 2021 | Edinburgh, Scotland, UK https://edge-sys.github.io/2021/ ----------------------------------------------- Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the decentralized edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. In this context, the EdgeSys workshop focuses on the confluence of edge computing, decentralized communication and distributed computing. For example, there are several industry-led edge computing and orchestration platforms such as KubeEdge, Firecracker, and Azure Sphere. In the decentralized communication space, systems such as Mastodon and Matrix have been developed. There are also lots of academic research activities on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Talket, ThinkAir, MAUI, and MADNet) and systems that combine decentralization and computation/storage offloading together, such as IPFS. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21), in conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2021, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys'21 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis. Over the past three years, EdgeSys has been gathering substantial community contributions in edge computing domain - especially with high quality TPC, keynotes, panel and technical papers from US, Europe, and Asia, including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft Research, Intel, IBM, Nokia, Samsung, Toyota, Telefonica, MIT, Berkeley, Columbia, Yale, UCLA, Cambridge, Imperial, EPFL, TU Delft, MPI, TUM, Tsinghua, Peking and Fudan.

In the past decade, the research community has produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - protocol design - hardware platform design - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming) - wake-up radios for short- or/and long-range technologies - radio resource management - applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) - anomaly detection - security solutions - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing - business case analysis that is more well suited for certain vertical markets.

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Issue on “Security and Privacy of Federated Learning Solutions for Industrial IoT Applications” Submission Deadline: 30 June 2021 Link: http://www.ieee-ies.org/images/files/tii/ss/2021/Security_and_Privacy_of_Fe… *************** Call for Paper Industrial Internet of Things typically consists of several thousands of heterogeneous devices, such as sensors, actuators, access points, machinery, end-user's hand held equipment, and supply chain. In such industrial environment, multitude of data is generated from massive IoT devices, e.g., sensors for monitoring environment, reading temperature, and gauging pressure. Most of data is from delay-sensitive and computation intensive applications, such as real-time manufacturing and automated diagnostics, which require big data analytics with low latency. Machine learning has been witnessed as an efficient solution for big data analytics. The majority of such ML algorithms are centralized methods, meaning that they first gather data from different users for use as a training dataset, which is placed on the ML server, and then build a model to classify new data samples by applying ML algorithms to this training dataset. However, the access to these datasets in centralized ML methods raises concerns about data privacy for users. To address a part of these issues, federated learning (FL) was designed to protect data privacy. In FL, each participant uses a global training model, without needing to upload their private data to a third-party server. Compared with conventional ML, FL can preserve data security, especially in terms of participant data during the learning process. FL can also help in updating server side data for the global model, and the participant is not required to provide their data. However, in FL, individual computing units may show abnormal actions, for example due to faulty software, hardware invasions, unreliable communication channels, malicious samples deliberately craft the model. To mitigate these challenges, we require robust policies to control the learning phases in FL.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments
by Lars Wolf 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TGCN Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 09:36:16 +0100 Von: Carlo Mastroianni <carlo.mastroianni(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Carlo Mastroianni <carlo.mastroianni(a)ICAR.CNR.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG **Apologies for cross postings IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking Special Issue on Edge Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Environments <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/cfp/edge-intelligenc e-sustainable-smart-environments> https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/cfp/edge-intelligence -sustainable-smart-environments CALL FOR PAPERS *************** Edge Computing is emerging due to the great availability of computational resources, mobile devices, sensors and actuators that are pervasively deployed and today amount to more than 7 billion interfaces with the network. It enables the pushing of computation to the edge of the network, away from data centers and close to people and data sources. Edge Intelligence derives from the convergence of Edge Computing with the smart exploitation of artificial intelligence methodologies and cognitive technologies, involving sensing/actuation, learning and reasoning on distributed data and Internet of Things devices. A new generation of smart environments, empowered with Edge Intelligence capabilities, can assist the effective management of a modern society, by combining the development of advanced services able to satisfy user needs and preferences dynamically, with undelayable aspects like better exploitation of renewable energy sources, energy optimization, environment sustainability, people's safety, quality of life and comfort. Edge Intelligence helps service provisioning, computation and communications to become efficient, green and sustainable in different ways, among which: (i) Edge Intelligence can contribute to optimize data center usage and reduce the amount of data needing to traverse the network, leading to a reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions; (ii) applications enriched by Edge Intelligence can satisfy user needs through a more sustainable use of environmental resources; (iii) based on predictions performed by Edge Intelligence algorithms, data and computation can be brought closer to the sites where green energy is available. Edge Intelligence offers an unprecedented opportunity to offer cutting edge services to individuals and organizations and, at the same time, to contrast the continuous growth in the exchange of data and use of communication and network infrastructures. The energy consumption and the greenhouse gas emissions related to ICT technologies are estimated to amount, respectively, to 3% and 4% of the total, and these figures are being further increased by the Covid 19 pandemic. This Special Issue aims to be a valuable venue for novel and original research works in the field of Edge Intelligence and its exploitation for the design and development of sustainable and smart environments like smart cities and cognitive buildings. *************** TOPICS - green communication and networking for edge intelligence - edge intelligence in energy-efficient internet of things - edge and fog computing for green smart environments - mobile edge computing for green smart environments - energy-efficient computation, communication, and caching at the edge - energy-efficient coordination and orchestration of the intelligence at the edge - edge intelligence for energy-efficient resource management - edge intelligence supported by green clouds and data centers - sustainable continuum computing between the edge and the cloud - simulation and analysis techniques for sustainable edge intelligence - green and energy-efficient internet of things - energy optimization for edge intelligence - artificial intelligence and machine learning for sustainable smart systems - green artificial intelligence for edge systems - energy harvesting, storage, and recycling in sustainable smart systems - deployment, management and maintenance of sustainable edge intelligent systems - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart cities - edge intelligence for green and energy-efficient smart buildings - edge intelligence exploiting green mobile computing and 5G - cyber security, data privacy and integrity in green edge systems - securing the integrity of devices for sustainable edge systems - use of blockchains in sustainable edge systems - trusted and verifiable services for sustainable intelligent systems at the edge - energy-efficient cognitive radio for satellite and terrestrial networking SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at the IEEE TGCN Information for Authors page: <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/ieee-transactions-gr een-communications-and-networking-information> https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/ieee-transactions-gre en-communications-and-networking-information To submit a manuscript for consideration for the Special Issue, please visit the journal submission website at Manuscript Central <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgcn> https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tgcn IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscript submission: 15 May 2021 First Review Results: 15 July 2021 Second Review Results: 31 August 2021 Publication: December 2021 (tentative) Guest Editors: Franco Cicirelli, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, <mailto:franco.cicirelli@icar.cnr.it> franco.cicirelli(a)icar.cnr.it Min Jia, Harbin Institute of Technology, China, <mailto:jiamin@hit.edu.cn> jiamin(a)hit.edu.cn Sabita Maharjan, University of Oslo, Norway, <mailto:sabita@ifi.uio.no> sabita(a)ifi.uio.no Carlo Mastroianni, ICAR-CNR, National Research Council of Italy, <mailto:carlo.mastroianni@icar.cnr.it> carlo.mastroianni(a)icar.cnr.it Ian Taylor, University of Notre Dame, IN, USA and Cardiff University, UK, <mailto:ian.j.taylor@nd.edu> ian.j.taylor(a)nd.edu Carlo Mastroianni ICAR-CNR Via P.

Cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking. In keeping with the heritage of the symposium, there will be a central theme, and in 2021 the theme is “Networking in the New Normal.” The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world to a new normal. Not only are research, business, education, and entertainment being shifted online, but also many of our daily activities are. Recent technological advances in networking present unique opportunities to bring us to this new normal. At the same time, they still pose numerous challenges to be addressed, such as scalable and pervasive connectivity, sustainable networking, and new application paradigms for online activities. The intimate single-track format of the symposium encourages stimulating exchanges between researchers. The event is expected to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on network access protocols, network management and control, services and applications. Speculative and potentially transformative ideas are particularly encouraged, as are studies reporting measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Papers are solicited on any topic in networking, including, but not limited to: Networking for online education and entertainment Networking protocols and architectures for the IoTs Machine-to-machine communication Cloud, edge and fog computing integration Co-existence and heterogeneity support at the edge (HetNets) Energy efficiency for local and metropolitan area networking 5G and 6G localization, device-free localization, and privacy-aware localization Information security for local and metropolitan area networking Intelligent routing, forwarding, and scheduling Named data networking Network and transport mechanisms for latency reduction Network virtualization in local and metropolitan areas Performance and reliability of local and metropolitan area networks Software-defined networking in local and metropolitan areas IEEE LANMAN 2021 solicits paper submissions of papers up to 6 pages.

Best, Stefano Avallone and Michele Polese ----- Call for Papers The Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3) will be held as a fully virtual event, starting on June 23, 2021 and tentatively planned for two days. The objective of the workshop is to gather ns-3 users and developers, together with networking simulation practitioners and users, and developers of other network simulation tools, to discuss the ns-3 simulator and related activities. As in past years, the conference organizers will apply to ACM to publish accepted papers in the ACM ICPS series. WNS3 invites authors to submit original high quality papers presenting different aspects of developing and using ns-3. In such papers, reproducibility and methodology will be a key reviewing criteria, as explained below. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - new models, devices, protocols and applications for ns-3 - using ns-3 in modern networking research - comparison with other network simulators and emulators - speed and scalability issues for ns-3 - multiprocessor and distributed simulation with ns-3, including use of GPUs - validation of ns-3 models - credibility and reproducibility issues for ns-3 simulations - user experience issues of ns-3 - frameworks for the definition and automation of ns-3 simulations - post-processing, visualisation and statistical analysis tools for ns-3 - models ported from other simulators to ns-3 - using real code for simulation with ns-3 and using ns-3 code in network applications - integration of ns-3 with testbeds, emulators, and other simulators or tools - using ns-3 API from programming languages other than C++ or Python - porting ns-3 to unsupported platforms - network emulation with ns-3 - using ns-3 in education and teaching We also solicit novel papers with a focus on an industrial application of ns-3 (use of ns-3 within industry). Papers in this category must address these questions: - What specific R&D questions did you or do you want to answer by simulation? - Why and how did you choose ns-3 as the appropriate tool for your application? - What surprises did you find, in correctness/behavior? in implementation? in learning curve? - What are the remaining barriers to fully addressing your R&D questions? - What general capabilities would have made your work easier/faster? Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 8 pages. Every paper will be peer-reviewed. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the workshop. Submission instructions Authors should submit papers through EasyChair in PDF format, complying with ACM “sigconf” Proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Acceptance Criteria Papers will be accepted based on the relevance, novelty, and impact of the contribution, as well as the quality of writing and presentation. Authors presenting new ns-3 models, frameworks, integration setups, etc. are encouraged to include all traditional parts of a scientific paper: introduction, motivation, related work, assumptions, verification and validation, conclusions and references. As a general rule, papers that only document source code will be rejected. Authors presenting networking research using ns-3 are encouraged to follow best simulation practices and focus particularly on the credibility and reproducibility of simulation results. We strongly encourage authors of all papers, demonstrations, and posters to include links to relevant source code and instructions on how to use it. This will make contributions more useful for the ns-3 community.
