-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE TCCN Special Issue on “Intelligent Surfaces for Smart Wireless Communications” [Impact Factor 4.574] Datum: Tue, 4 Aug 2020 09:22:18 +0000 Von: Yuen Chau <0000015a71f8d974-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Yuen Chau <yuenchau(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call For Papers - IEEE TCCN [Impact Factor 4.574] Special Issue on “Intelligent Surfaces for Smart Wireless Communications” https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tccn/cfp/intelligent-surf… While 5G is still at an initial commercialization stage, to maintain the sustainability and competitiveness of wireless communication systems, it is time for both the industry and academia to think about what 6G will be. In contrast to previous generations, 6G will be transformative and will revolutionize the wireless evolution from “connected things” to “connected intelligence.” Specifically, 6G is expected to evolve towards an intelligent and software-based functionality paradigm, where wireless networks are not only allowing people, mobile devices, and objects to communicate with each other, but also capable of sensing, controlling, and optimizing the environment to realize the vision of low powered, high throughput and low latency communications. Achieving this intelligent and software-based functionality paradigm, wireless communication with ultra-low latency as well as spectral and energy efficiency represent the most demanding challenges 6G networks are facing. Following the recent breakthrough on the fabrication of programmable metamaterials, reconfigurable intelligent meta-surfaces have the potential to materialize the intelligent software-based control of the environment in wireless communication systems when coated on the otherwise passive surfaces of various objects. Being a newly proposed concept going beyond massive MIMO, Intelligent Surfaces (including Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface, Intelligent Reflecting Surface, Holographic MIMO Surfaces<javascript:void(0)>, etc.) are low cost, ultra-thin size, light weight, and low power consumption hardware structures that provide a transformative means of the wireless environment into a programmable smart entity. This special issue aims at reporting the latest most promising research advances in modeling, analysis, fabrication design, algorithms, and communication protocols of intelligent surfaces-based future wireless networks, and to envision new research directions in this emerging field of research. The topics of interest include, but are not limited: * Physics- and electromagnetic-compliant modeling of intelligent surfaces * Communication-theoretic foundation of intelligent surfaces-based wireless networks * Fundamental performance limits of intelligent surfaces-based wireless networks * AI-inspired control and orchestration of intelligent surfaces-empowered wireless networks * Optimal configuration and resource allocation for distributed intelligent surfaces networks * Spectrum sharing in intelligent surfaces networks * Algorithms and protocols design for intelligent surfaces-based wireless networks * Massive access for intelligent surfaces-based wireless networks * Hardware architectures and designs of intelligent surfaces * The impact of optical design/feeders/processing with respect to electronic feeders * Experimental results, measurements, and testbed implementations of intelligent surfaces * Software-defined design and implementation of intelligent surfaces-based wireless networks * Definition of uses cases, application scenarios, and techno-economic analysis * Integration of intelligent surfaces with state-of-the-art wireless technologies (e.g., free cells, millimeter-wave communications, visible light communications, Internet of Things) Submission Guidelines - Authors must adhere to the IEEE TCCN guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format.

Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Special Issue on Trends and Challenges in Energy-Efficient UAV Networks Submission due: 30 September 2020 CFP link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/trends-an… Call for Papers: Recent developments in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, a.k.a. drones), sensor and communication technology, coupled with automation and deployment flexibility of UAVs have revolutionized various industries, including agriculture, mobile communications, entertainment and media. The commercial applications of drones providing business solutions is growing rapidly, with an estimated global market value of $127 bn according to a study by PwC. Despite the advantages provided by UAVs in various sectors, they face the challenge of limited operating duration due to the reliance on their on-board battery. This creates interruptions in their missions as battery replacement or recharging is required frequently. Therefore, developments of innovative, energy-efficient methods that will help UAVs to achieve more with their limited-capacity battery or even extend the mission duration, especially for the small-sized UAVs, are essential. Such innovations will enhance the deployment feasibility of UAVs or drone-delivered commercial services. The methods and mechanisms may focus on energy-efficient functioning of UAVs, consider ways of topping up the battery capacity, or even in-situ recharging. This Special Issue aims to publish the latest contributions in the development of methods and mechanisms for energy-efficient UAV Networks. Researchers, developers, and industry practitioners working in this area are invited to present their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in energy-efficient UAV Networks. Due to the complex and dynamic environment that the UAVs operate in, the use of intelligent algorithms, e.g., machine learning/deep learning techniques in optimizing proposed solutions are of high relevance to the special issue. Review papers on the topic are also welcome. Some relevant topics include, but not limited to the following: * Energy-aware UAV network architecture * UAV path-planning and trajectory optimization for energy efficiency * Energy-efficient UAV communication and networking * Energy-efficient UAV communication optimization in 5/6G * Wireless Backscattering for energy-efficient UAV communication * Intelligent power management for UAV communication * Autonomous recharging of UAV batteries * Machine learning for energy-efficient UAV networks * Energy-efficient cellular-assisted UAV communication * Energy-efficient UAV-assisted cellular communication * Energy-efficient UAV-IoT Systems * Energy-friendly UAV-IoT infrastructures in Smart Cities * Energy efficient solutions for swarm of UAVs Important Dates: * Submission opens- 01 August 2020 * Deadline for first submission- 30 September 2020 * Completion of first review round- 24 December 2020 * Deadline for revised manuscripts- 1 March 2021 * Completion of the review and revision process- 1 May 2021 Submission Information: 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.

The organizing committee (OC) is closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 situation that could impact paper submissions and in-person attendance. In case of travel restrictions, a partially or fully virtual conference could become necessary and video/remote presentations will be accepted. In addition, the OC is also investigating remote participation under all circumstances especially for accepted papers. About ICIN Since 1989, the ICIN conferences have been bringing together leading Internet and telecom experts from industry, academia and government from across the globe. ICIN is a single track conference that is both intimate and global, attracting 100+ delegates, from more than 20 countries. It focuses on leading edge investigations into Internet technologies, from basic networking and cloud services to novel architectures. ICIN uses a rigorous peer-review process and has become an established industry forum to discuss emerging trends in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). It offers an agora for one-on-one discussions and cross-fertilization between participants and leading network visionaries, with the goal of promoting dialogue and ideation about the current and future trends in networking research and development. ICIN conferences are well known for their identification of research challenges and industry trends and their discussion on the impact of cutting-edge technologies on future intelligent and distributed networking, and related computing services. ICIN has an enviable track record of identifying key technologies and services – and analysing their impact on business models – before they become widely recognized in the industry and government communication sectors. The interdisciplinary approach and the cross-fertilization of ideas are the main ingredients that made ICIN a recognized event in the telecommunications, cloud networking and Internet communities. ICIN 2021 For 2021 ICIN is focussing on the melding of network and computing services that is clearly demonstrated by the increasing softwarization of the network services in the core and the access networks, the rise of computing in the network and the growth of cognition in networking for management and control, as well as for value added services at the edge and in the data center. Several innovations are impacting the ongoing transformations toward the network of the future and the evolution of cloud services. More and more the network fabric itself emcompasses functionality usually associated with computing as increased intelligence and cognition are necessary to address emerging requirements of distributed services, automation and network reliability. At the same time, more and more, the cloud is extending to the edge adding a number of heterogeneous networked subsystems to the Internet with a variety of requirements that further highlight the need for novel architectures, e.g., IoT systems, augmented and virtual reality and service delivery platforms. The result is the networking and computing systems becoming one, melding, as a distributed cloud/edge continuum with cognition and intelligence for emerging services. This “Computing and Networking as a Service” is the paradigm that will be central to the deployment of immersive services in many different sectors, such as e-health, self-driving cars, industrial networks, agriculture and cloud robotics. In this regard, there is a need for a variety of mechanisms enabling the new generation of service offerings at different levels (consumer, business, government, social, service provider ecosystem platforms). In this scenario and considering the many challenges that the aforementioned paradigms and technologies will bring, the theme for ICIN 2021 is: “Services everywhere: melding networking and computing in an intelligent cloud-edge continuum” The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and novel approaches for future service concepts, service delivery and their enabling technologies and mechanisms in the emerging scenario of immersive intelligence and service level awareness. With this vision, the conference will look beyond the current state of the art and promote the advances of Computing as a Service technologies for different application service delivery platforms. Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research, research related to business impact or mechanisms of new technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers. Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe practical deployment and implementation experiences as well as demonstrating innovative use-cases are also and especially encouraged. ********************************************************************************** ICIN 2021 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals.

ICN may appear as a promising candidate to solve many issues of the current Push/IP/Client-Server-based, connection-oriented regid network architecture. Adopting the ICN architecture for resource-constrained wireless sensor-based IoT networks may further improve the data access mechanisms, reliability issues in case of mobility events, and high latency in case of multihop communication. However, integrating both technologies has not extensively been studied, especially for resource-constraint wireless sensor networks. The scope of this Special Issue is the examination of the challenges presented by the synergy between ICNs and wireless sensor-based IoT networks. Therefore, we invite researchers and experts to contribute original research articles as well as review articles about the research topics related to ICWSN. It is intended that this Special Issue of the IEEE IoT Journal will show the state-of-the-art in ICWSNs. Original research contributions, tutorials and review papers are sought in ICWSN-related areas including (but not limited to): • Architecture and protocol designs for ICWSN • Cross-layer protocol designs for ICWSN • Naming schemes for ICWSN • Caching schemes for ICWSN • Protocol Designs for cluster-based ICWSN • Architecture and protocol designs of ICWSNs with various radios, such as LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE, NB-IoT, etc. • Distributed Computing over ICWSN • Resources Orchestration over ICWSN • Producer mobility in ICWSN • Reliability, QoS support, sustainability, and energy efficiency in ICWSN • Security and privacy in ICWSN • Multimedia support in ICWSN • Forwarding and Routing for ICWSN • Test-Bed implementation and measurements ICWSN Schedule Submissions Deadline: November 15, 2020 First Reviews Due: January 31, 2021 Revision Due: March 15, 2021 Second Reviews Due/Notification: April 15, 2021 Final Manuscript Due: April 30, 2021 Publication Date: 2021 Submission All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Elsevier PMC Journal: SI on "Pervasive Mobile Energy Sharing" Datum: Mon, 27 Jul 2020 10:17:49 -0400 Von: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ====================================================================== Call For Papers Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) Journal: Special Issue on "Pervasive Mobile Energy Sharing" https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-p… ====================================================================== Energy is a scarce resource in any pervasive mobile and wireless networks that consist of devices/vehicles mainly powered by their batteries. Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With recent advances in energy sharing technologies through both wired and wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other mobile agents) within the network. Such pervasive energy sharing models become particularly important for emerging use cases on circular economy paradigms, such as smart climate-neutral cities or clean connected mobility, where valuable resources including energy need to be administered in optimal manners. Energy sharing can be considered for various types of pervasive mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and electric vehicles (EVs).

In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay.

Fwd: [ACM SenSys 2020] Call for Workshop Papers
by Lars Wolf 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ACM SenSys 2020] Call for Workshop Papers Datum: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 04:46:30 -0000 Von: yuukin(a)iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Dr. Wolf, [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Hope you are well and healthy. I would like to share workshops that will be held in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2020. Please kindly forward this list to your community if you do not mind. ============================================== ACM SenSys2020: Call for Workshop Papers ============================================== [Workshops] - The 1st ACM International Workshop on Nanoscale Computing, Communication, and Applications (ACM NanoCoCoA 2020) - The 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting and Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems（ENSsys) - The 3rd ACM International Workshop on Blockchain-enabled Networked Sensor Systems (BlockSys) - The 3rd International SenSys+BuildSys Workshop on Data: Acquisition to Analysis (DATA) - Cloud Continuum Services for Smart IoT Systems - The 1st International Workshop on Physical-Layer Augmented Security for Sensor Systems (PLAS) - The 1st ACM International Workshop on Security and Safety for Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (SecICPS) - The 2nd International Workshop on Challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Internet of Things (AIChallengeIoT 2020) http://sensys.acm.org/2020 [The 1st ACM International Workshop on Nanoscale Computing, Communication, and Applications (ACM NanoCoCoA 2020)] Nanotechnology continues to revolutionize a wide variety of fields by paving the way toward sub-μm scale devices (i.e., in the order of a few hundred nanometers). Controlling materials on such a scale is expected to give rise to integrated nanodevices with simple sensing, actuation, data processing and storage, and communication capabilities, opening the horizon to a variety of ground-breaking applications. By equipping nanodevices with wireless communications capabilities, nanotechnology will facilitate the advance of multiple disruptive applications, the most prominent ones being in-body communication, software-defined metamaterials, wireless robotic materials, and on-chip communication. Communication among the nanodevices, as well as between them and the macroscale world, will be required to achieve the promise of the above-mentioned application domains. Predominantly due to the small size and limited capabilities of nanodevices, classical communication paradigms are not directly applicable to nanocommunication and networking. Thus, several alternative nanocommunication paradigms have emerged, with the most promising one for enabling all of the envisioned applications being high-frequency (mmWave and terahertz (THz)) electromagnetic nanocommunication. The overall objective of the ACM NanoCoCoA is to bring together a broad range of experts on nanoscale computing, high frequency electromagnetic (mmWave, THz) nanocommunication and networking, and the promising application domains, in order to outline, discuss, and address emerging topics pertaining to designing nanodevices and wireless systems of nanodevices for this novel set of disruptive nanoscale applications. Workshop web page: https://www.nanococoa.org/ Program Chairs: * Chong Han (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) * Jeroen Famaey (University of Antwerp - imec, Belgium) * Sergi Abadal (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) * Filip Lemic (University of Antwerp - imec, Belgium and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting and Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems（ENSsys)] ENSsys will be held as a virtual and on-site event in Tokyo, Japan, co-located with ACM SenSys. Complementing the topics of SenSys 2020, this workshop will bring researchers together to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities in the research, design, and engineering of energy-harvesting, energy-neutral and intermittent sensing systems. These are enabling technologies for future applications in smart energy, transportation, environmental monitoring and smart cities. Innovative solutions in hardware for energy scavenging, adaptive algorithms, and power management policies are needed to enable either uninterrupted or intermittent operation. High quality technical articles are solicited, describing advances in sensing systems powered by energy harvesting, as well as those which describe practical deployments and implementation experiences. Moreover, ENSsys offers a platform for innovative future directions by soliciting position papers. Workshop web page: https://enssys20.hotcrp.com/ Workshop paper submission link: https://enssys20.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Alex S. Weddell (University of Southampton, UK) * Josiah Hester (Northwestern University, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 3rd ACM International Workshop on Blockchain-enabled Networked Sensor Systems (BlockSys)] Sensing technologies are being widely used in environments such as smart home, smart building, vehicular network, etc. Information collected from networked sensor systems are valuable if shared and tracked correctly. However, today’s sensing-cloud paradigm does not genetically support trust management and privacy preservation; it also does not encourage information sharing in multi-stakeholder settings through incentives and payment mechanisms. The emerging blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies offer a possibility to 1) ensure data protection, 2) monetize information exchange, 3) reduce sharing and maintenance costs, and 4) to manage trust in multi-stakeholder settings. Workshop web page: https://sensysblockchain.github.io/ Workshop paper submission link: https://blocksys20.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Bhaskar Krishnamachari (University of Southern California, USA) * Salil Kanhere (UNSW Sydney, Australia) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 3rd International SenSys+BuildSys Workshop on Data: Acquisition to Analysis (DATA)] As the enthusiasm for and success of the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Smart Buildings grows, so too does the volume and variety of data collected by these systems. How do we ensure that this data is of high quality, and how do we maximize the utility of collected data such that many projects can benefit from the time, cost, and effort of deployments? The Data: Acquisition To Analysis (DATA) workshop aims to look broadly at interesting data from interesting sensing systems. The workshop considers problems, solutions, and results from all across the real-world data pipeline. We solicit submissions on unexpected challenges and solutions in the collection of datasets, on new and novel datasets of interest to the community, and on experiences and results—explicitly including negative results—in using prior datasets to develop new insights. The workshop aims to bring together a community of application researchers and algorithm researchers in the sensing systems and building domains to promote breakthroughs from integration of the generators and users of datasets. The workshop will foster cross-domain understanding by enabling both the understanding of application needs and data collection limitations. Workshop web page: https://workshopdata.github.io/DATA2020/ Program Chairs: * Gabe Fierro (UC Berkeley, USA) * Mostafa Mirshekari (Stanford University, USA) * Pat Pannuto (UCSD, USA) * Yang Zhao (General Electric Research, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Cloud Continuum Services for Smart IoT Systems (CCIoT)] Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hottest topic in the field of communications and computing. Many cloud providers offers cloud/edge services for IoT, to handle big data, to apply AI technologies, to support massive IoT devices, and to provide low-latency control. At the same time 5G cellular networks have Massive IoT as reference scenario, for which a huge number of smart sensors/actuators must be connected with low latency. Cloud and edge computing on the one and 5G on the other hand push for an IoT cloud continuum aimed at simplifying the integration, development and delivery processes of future, cloud-native, IoT applications, also considering related security and privacy issues. There are many alternatives for cloud and networking services and technologies in forming cloud continuum for IoT. The objectives of this workshop are to create a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss issues in applying cloud/edge computing and AI technologies to IoT systems, in networking IoT devices and federating IoT systems, and in development of IoT services exploiting the computing and networking capabilities of IoT systems, and to set a direction in forming a cloud continuum where IoT systems work together towards well-being of humankind.

Although security was originally viewed as a high-layer problem to be solved using key-based cryptographic techniques, physical-layer security is now emerging as a complementary approach to further enhance secrecy performance. The breakthrough idea of physical-layer security is to exploit the intrinsic characteristics of the wireless channels, such as fading, path loss, or noise, to transmit a message from a source to the intended receiver while keeping confidentiality from both passive and active eavesdroppers. Physical-layer security owns its advantages in terms of no need for distributing/managing secret keys, low computational complexity, and easy implementation in a wireless environment, so it is highly promising for implementing secure communication in sensor systems. Moreover, it will be more advantageous by combining physical-layer and upper-layer security techniques via cross-layer design.

Especially in recent years, Intelligent Cyber-Physical System (ICPS), such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and robots, have emerged for various applications without surveillance by human. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of these intelligent systems strongly depend on the security and safety of the cyber-physical devices, system software, and application software. These systems are prone to suffering from various security and safety issues, such as hardware defects, system and application vulnerabilities, network eavesdropping, side-channel attacks and so on. These successful attacks targeted to the Intelligent CPS do not only affect the security of information but also the safety of system, which may lead to malfunction of systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses. The goal of the 2020 SecICPS workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results to meet the security and safety requirements of future ICPS’s applications in various fields. Workshop web page: https://secicps.github.io/ Workshop paper submission link: https://secicps2020.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Jianfeng Ma (Xidian University, China) * Wenjing Lou (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，USA) * Liangmin Wang (Jiangsu University, China) * Jian Weng (Jinan University, China) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 2nd International Workshop on Challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Internet of Things (AIChallengeIoT 2020)] Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are key enabling technologies for many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, the collection and processing of data for AI and ML is very challenging in the IoT domain. For example, there are usually a large number of low-powered sensors deployed in large geographical areas with possibly intermittent network connectivity. The sensors and their collected data may be owned by different users or organizations, which can bring further obstacles to data collection due to privacy concerns and noisy labels provided by different users. The successful application of AI/ML approaches in such scenarios with noisy and decentralized data is difficult. In addition, the amount of collected data that can be used for training AI/ML models is usually proportional to the number of users in the system, but the system may not be able to attract many users without a well-trained AI/ML model, and it is challenging to solve this dilemma.

Watson Research Center, USA) * Poonam Yadav (University of York, UK) * Ludmila (Lucy) Cherkasova (ARM Research, USA) * Valerie Liptak (Amazon, USA) * Jorge Ortiz (Rutgers University, USA) * Shaswot Shresthamali (The University of Tokyo, Japan) * Mani Srivastava (University of California, Los Angeles, USA) * Vinesh Sukumar (Intel, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SenSys2020 goes to entirely online: We've been monitoring the progress of COVID-19 pandemic. It is a very dynamic target and the risk of mass physical gathering remains high. Putting the wellbeing of the community above all, we, the entire OC and SC, have decided to take SenSys2020 entirely virtual. With the change, we'll also be able to offer a discount registration fee while you worry less about travel restrictions/costs. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contribute your latest research result to the conference! We believe the decision is the best, albeit difficult, for us all, and the local OC members hope sincerely that there will be other opportunities to welcome you all to Japan.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Deadline extended for IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Age of Information and Data Semantics for Sensing, Communication and Control Co-Design in IoT" Datum: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 22:42:12 +0000 Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Antwort an: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on “Age of Information and Data Semantics for Sensing, Communication and Control Co-Design in IoT” Submission deadline extended July 31 A typical Internet-of-Things (IoT) system consists of three major layers: sensing, communication and application (i.e., actuation and control) layers. Nowadays, with the emergence of more and more wireless-networked machine-type applications such as connected autonomous driving and factory automation, this co-design is more urgently desired than ever to meet the stringent quality of service requirement thereof. The 5G wireless network of today has mainly focused on the communication part and strive to reliably achieve low air-interface communication delay, i.e., ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (uRLLC). However, the current uRLLC design is insufficient to characterize the status update quality, therefore the performance of computing and control in IoT networks that rely highly on wireless communications, can hardly be guaranteed. To deal with this challenge, a promising and powerful metric of Age of Information (AoI) has been proposed and studied in recent years. It directly measures the information latency as observed by the control layer, encompassing all factors resulting from the sensing, communication and computation process. Meanwhile, metrics derived from AoI, are being intensively studied recently in the literature in order to better understand and facilitate the convergence. These aspects strongly motivate inter-discipline research across wireless communications, control theory, computing, vertical applications, and etc. This special issue is therefore focused on the AoI-inspired sensing, communication and control co-design in IoT systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ¨ Age of information performance analysis for IoT ¨ Data semantics beyond age of information for timely sensing, computing or control, and etc. ¨ Age of information and control theory for IoT ¨ Age of information and estimation theory for IoT ¨ Age of information and security and privacy for IoT ¨ AI-based information timeliness and data semantics-based optimization for IoT ¨ Age of information and data semantics inspired networking and scheduling for IoT ¨ Age of information and data semantics for vertical applications ¨ Proof-of-concepts and experiments for AoI-inspired sensing, communication and control co-design in IoT Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31, 2020 First Review Due: September 30, 2020 Revision Due: November 15, 2020 Second Review Notification: December 15, 2020 Final Manuscript Due: December 30, 2020 Publication Date: 2021 Submission Guidelines: Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at http://ieeeiotj.org/guidelines-for-authors/.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Sandra Sendra <ssendra(a)UGR.ES> Gesendet: 12. Juli 2020 19:55:47 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IndustrialIoT 2020 (Online Conference) – The 5th International Conference on Industrial IoT Technologies and Applications, December 11-12, 2020. [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] *The 5th International Conference on Industrial IoT Technologies and Applications (IndustrialIoT 2020)* *Online Conference, December 11-12, 2020.* http://industrialiot-conf.org/ *IndustrialIoT 2020* In recent years, the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, industrial cloud, industrial robot, embedded computing and inexpensive sensors has facilitated industrial Internet of Things (IndustrialIoT) technologies and fostered some emerging applications (e.g., product lifecycle management). IndustrialIoT is the direct motivation and drive for the industrial upgrading (e.g., implementing smart factory of Industrie 4.0). With the support of all kinds of emerging technologies, IndustrialIoT is capable of continuously capturing information from various sensors and intelligent units, securely forwarding all the data to industrial cloud centers, and seamlessly adjusting some important parameters via a closed loop system. Also, IndustrialIoT can effectively detect failures and trigger maintenance processes, autonomously reacting to unexpected changes in production. However, we are still facing some challenges, for example, it is very difficult to capture, semantically analyze and employ data in a coherent manner from heterogeneous, sensor-enabled devices (e.g., industrial equipment, assembly lines, and transport trucks) owing to the lack of measurement tools, collection protocols, standardized APIs and security guidelines. The aim of the conference is to stimulate interaction and convergent among researchers active in the areas of control, communications, industrial robot, industrial cloud, smart sensors and actuators, informatics, mobile computing, and security.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop, V2X&ASP - V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy, Taipei, Taiwan, December 2020 Datum: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 22:46:01 +0600 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Colleagues, The submission deadline for IEEE GC workshop, V2X&ASP is approaching soon. Please submit your papers within: 15 July 2020. The CFP is mentioned below. Regards, Sakib Publicity Chair https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo… ================================================== *Call For Papers* *IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP), 7-11 December 2020 // Taipei, Taiwan* URL: https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo… privacy-v2xasp <https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo…> Unlike existing driving and transportation frameworks, new paradigm shifts and vertical technological revolution in vehicular services have emerged toward unmanned driving, automated transportation, and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). In addition to equipping with advanced environmental sensing/reasoning apparatuses (e.g., high definition (HD) cameras, three-divisional (3D) panorama videos, point-cloud scanners, or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanners) to facilitate autonomous driving, the next-generation driving vehicles may also rely on mobile network infrastructures to achieve ubiquitous and prompt information exchanges. For example, all-optical indicators (such as turn signals and brake light on a vehicle, and traffic lights on intersections) may be replaced by wireless signals through device-to-device (D2D) transmissions. Vehicles may also exchange their perception data or maneuver plans with other vehicles, or acquire information (such as 3D scenes at interactions) from remote cloud servers or road-site units (RSUs) though mobile networks. To align with this trend, 3GPP has released the service requirements to sustain the next-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications in June 2018, which include 28 use cases to involve advanced driving, remote control, vehicle platooning and extended sensors. To support all these use cases, the service requirements of V2X may include extremely high throughput (for 3D panorama videos or point-cloud data), low latency (maneuver data for platooning), high reliability (control signals for remote driving), aperiodic transmissions (for emergency trajectory alignment), and high connection density. Since August 2018, 3GPP has launched the normative works of New Radio (NR) V2X and enhanced ultra-reliable and low latency communication (eURLLC) in 3GPP Release 16. To satisfy these unprecedented V2X requirements, several new features will be introduced in both academic research and industrial practice, including new system architecture of V2X (e.g., mobile edge computing, cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network, network slicing, software-defined network, etc.), new radio access schemes (e.g., millimeter-wave access, sidelink transmissions, URLLC, massive connections), harmonization among various technologies (e.g., point-cloud compression, multi-view video, 3D vision, environmental perception/cognition, machine learning and artificial intelligent), and new designs for security. The Internet of Things evolution has given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart cities, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). The proliferation of IoV-based applications magnifies the importance and irreplaceability of IoV. Considering the dynamic nature of entities in the IoV, there are a series of challenges including security, privacy, decentralization, trust management, and so on. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, we use Vehicle to Vehicle/Others (V2V/V2X) communication to complement on-board sensor inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on sensor data is vulnerable to data. Malicious actors tend to inject false data or alter communication among normal vehicles. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art innovations, research activities (both in academia and industry), and the corresponding standardization impacts of V2X for the next generation driving paradigm, to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost and enrich activities in the area of V2X. This workshop will also provide a forum for exchanging ideas and networking experts/researchers/engineers/students involved in the emerging field of V2X. We want to collate and publish consolidated research results focusing on analyzing security and privacy threats, applying cutting-edge technologies to provide secure and privacy-preserving communications in the relevant fields. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of the area. Topics of interest (include but not limited to) - Machine learning, artificial intelligence, cognition, and optimization technologies for V2X and CAV - Security issues and designs for V2X and CAV - Mobile edge computing (MEC), cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network (LADN), network slicing, software-defined network (SDN) for V2X and CAV - New waveforms, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), sidelink/D2D transmissions, massive/dense connections, full-duplex radios for V2X and CAV - URLLC, machine-type communications (MTC), tactile Internet, and advanced caching for V2X and CAV - Signal processing for V2X and CAV - Point-cloud compression, multi-view video, and 3D panorama enabled technologies for V2X and CAV - Standardizations, field-trials, prototypes, deployment and performance evaluation of V2X and CAV - Secure end-to-end communication protocols in IoVs - Blockchain enabled-security solutions for IoV - Efficient secure data dissemination mechanisms for IoV - Intrusion detection technologies for IoV - New Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and services based on IoV - Optimization techniques for sustainable security solutions - Privacy-preserving data aggregation for IoV - Security in cloud-based IoV - Sustainable security solutions for electric/hybrid vehicles - Trust and reputation in IoV - SDN/NFV based security solutions for IoV Workshop Organizers: + Shih-Chun Lin, North Carolina State University, USA, slin23(a)ncsu.edu + Shao-Yu Lien, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan, sylien(a)ccu.edu.tw + Igor Alvarado, National Instruments, USA, igor.alvarado(a)ni.com + Uttam Ghosh, Vanderbilt University, USA, ghosh.uttam(a)ieee.org + Ali Kashif Bashir, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, dr.alikashif.b(a)ieee.org + Zhaolong Ning, Dalian University of Technology, China, zhaolongning(a)dlut.edu.cn + Joel J.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 28th, 2020, EAI ADHOCNETS 2020 - 12th EAI International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks Datum: Wed, 8 Jul 2020 22:55:43 +0000 Von: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> Antwort an: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 12th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS 2020) November 17-18, 2020 (will be held virtually) https://adhocnets.org/<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fadhocnets…> Paper submission deadline: July 28, 2020 (extended) EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event. EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions.

Today’s cloud-centric paradigm, however, does not genetically support trust management and privacy preservation; it also does not encourage information sharing in multi-stakeholder settings through incentives and payment mechanisms. As a result, complementary technologies that can offer to ensure data protection, incentivize information exchange, and reduce sharing and maintenance costs are highly desired. We have seen the increasing interest in tackling such problems by using emerging blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies. BlockSys’20 aims to set up a stage for industry and academia to share wins and lessons: we solicit high quality research and position papers that address opportunities and challenges at the intersection of networked sensing/IoT and blockchain. We also welcome on-going work, demos and tutorials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Blockchain in networked sensor system and other IoT environments * Blockchain in 5G systems * Blockchain in smart cities * Blockchain in edge computing * Blockchain in mobile systems and general ad-hoc networks * Blockchain in vehicular networks * Blockchain in intelligent supply chain * New protocols and consensus algorithms providing fault-tolerance for sensing and IoT systems * Blockchain-based sensor data-tampering protection * Security issues of using blockchain * Incentives and reward mechanisms for sharing sensing data * Blockchain in participatory sensing and crowd-sourcing * Smart contract design and implementation in sensing systems * Formal verification on smart contracts in sensing systems * Decentralized sensing data storage * Decentralized sensing data transmission * Performance issues of using blockchain * Scalability issues of using blockchain * Using blockchain in resource/energy-constraint systems Contact: blocksys.inform(a)gmail.com Organizers General Chairs Bhaskar Krishnamachari (University of Southern California) Salil Kanhere (The University of New South Wales) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

OVERVIEW ======== In recent years, we have seen fast development of wireless communications, networking, and cloud computing: 4G, 5G and multiaccess networks greatly enhance the quality of service (QoS) of wireless access networks; software- defined networking, network function virtualization, and information-centric networking largely reduce the cost of network service providers and improve the quality of experience (QoE) of end-users; the development of mobile devices and mobile cloud computing lead to explosive deployment of mobile services and applications; the recent development of advanced algorithms such as Deep Learning has shown great potential in resource allocation and service orchestration. Deep integration of the above technologies provides a large number of opportunities for realizing the future mobile computing systems. On the other hand, to realize an efficient and sustainable ecosystem, many challenges exist. The challenges lie in a wide range, including devices technologies, communications and networking technologies, cloud and edge computing technologies, energy harvesting technologies, and incentive and marketing mechanisms.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extended- Call for Papers for IEEE Communication Magazine FT on Communication for RAS Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 12:49:17 +0100 Von: Ali Zaidi <s.alirzaidi(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ali Zaidi <s.alirzaidi(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers for IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on Communication Technologies for Robotics and Autonomous Systems https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-communications-magazine /cfp/communication-technologies-robotics-and Distributed intelligence in robotics and autonomous systems applications heavily relies upon seamless wireless connectivity. In particular, the emerging cloud robotics paradigm aims to employ communication technologies for offloading high complexity computation tasks to the edge/cloud platform. Cloud robotics is considered as one of the mainstream use-case for 5G and beyond networks which requires ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Currently, the design of URLLC protocols has been explored by the research community in an application-agnostic manner. While promising, these horizontal design approaches can only provide limited performance gains. Consequently, alternative approaches that are based on co-design of control systems, inference engines, and communication protocols must be explored. These new approaches are envisioned to enable the rapid deployment of new robotics applications. While new robotics applications are benefiting from the advancements in communication technology, communication networks are also hugely benefiting from the recent advancement in mobile robotics platforms. Low-cost commercially available robotics platforms are increasingly being employed for the rapid deployment of mobile connectivity services. The applications for such deployments range from flash crowd events to public safety systems. Integration of robotics and autonomous systems into communication network architecture while addressing issues such as interference and mobility management is therefore as crucial. This feature topic (FT) aims to provide a platform for presenting recent advancements that tackle the design and implementation of: i. communication protocols for robotics and autonomous systems; and ii. architectures/deployment modalities that exploit robotics and autonomous systems for provisioning communication services. This FT uniquely calls for the study of both wireless communication solutions for and through robotic platforms. Consequently, the topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: • Spectrum and Resource management for MEC enabled robotics applications; • Co-design of control, communication, and edge inference mechanisms; • Network slicing for robotics applications; • Design and implementation of mobility aware communication protocols; • Design and development of high precision localization services; • Coverage aware trajectory planners for robotics and autonomous systems; • Network architecture with mobile base-stations and management protocols; • Security and resilience mechanisms for MEC enabled robotics applications; • Optimization of connectivity protocol for Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual reality (VR) robotics applications; • Time-sensitive and Deterministic Wireless Networks; Important Dates: Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15th July 2020 (Firm) Decision Notification: 1 October 2020 Final Manuscript Due: 15 November 2020 Publication Date: January 2021 Guest Editors: Syed Ali Raza Zaidi, University of Leeds, UK Ursula Challita, Ericsson, Sweden Jemin Lee, DGIST, South Korea Moe Z. Win, MIT, USA Submission Guidelines Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Manuscript Submission Guidelines. Please, check these guidelines carefully before submitting since submissions not complying with them will be administratively rejected without review. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted by the deadline through Manuscript Central. Select the “December 2020/Robotics & Autonomous” topic from the drop-down menu of Topic/Series titles. Please observe the dates specified here below noting that there will be no extension of submission deadline. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

02 Jul '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers - ACM MobiCom 2021 Datum: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 10:24:28 +0900 Von: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Call For Papers – ACM MobiCom 2021* *Important Dates* *Summer* *Winter* *Abstract Registration * August 14, 2020 23:59 EDT March 19, 2021 23:59 EDT *Paper Submission* August 21, 2020 23:59 EDT March 26, 2021 23:59 EDT *Notification of Acceptance * November 13, 2020 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.

EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP][Deadline extended to July 3] IEEE ICNP 2020 Workshop AIMCOM2 Datum: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 02:18:36 +0100 Von: LI Rongpeng <rongpeng.vip(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: LI Rongpeng <rongpeng.vip(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, Just FYI -- the submission deadline of *IEEE ICNP 2020 Workshop AIMCOM2* has been extended to 3 July. Please accept our sincere apologies for sending multiple copies of this CFP. Best regards, Rongpeng --- *Riding with AI towards Mission-Critical Communications and Computing at the Edge(AIMCOM2, https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html <https://icnp20.cs.ucr.edu/aimcom2.html>) * *Aim and Scope* The ever-growing mission-critical services, like the Internet of vehicles, AR/VR and haptic communications, have sprung recently and required the communications and computing framework to be more reliable, efficient and secure. However, it raises severe challenges due to the spatial and/or temporal diversity of the entities possibly involved in communications and computing, such as the possibly high mobility of nodes, the varying and uneven-distributed number of devices, and the limitations of propagation media and other resources. To address these challenges, one potential solution is to provision at the edge (i.e., in proximity of end devices), where the demands from end devices can be served locally in real-time, rather than being served by the remote cloud through latency-plagued core networks. But the occurrence of mobile edge poses many new challenges in terms of deployment, management and coordination of the heterogeneous and distributed resources. The artificial intelligence (AI) for mission-critical communications and computing is expected to fundamentally address these increasing challenges. Various issues like edge intelligence, AI-assisted PHY design, AI-based resource management are being explosively explored to shorten the transmission latency. Approaches like federated learning and distributed learning are being heavily investigated for superior performance of communications and computing at the edge as well. Faced with security concerns, the interpretability of AI in the context of communications and networks is also a fast-developing hot topic. This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in this field. We invite researchers to contribute their novel research results that advance the development of mission-critical communications and computations at the edge. *Topic of Interests* This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art theory and the systems research in AI-powered mission-critical communications, networking and computing.
