September 28-30, 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. All topics are in the context of the IndustrialIoT. *Important Dates: Full Paper Submission deadline* *Submission Date: June 1, 2020* Notification to Authors: July 13, 2020 Camera Ready Submission: August 11, 2020 *Submission* Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format: (see Author’s kit section: http://industrialiot-conf.org/submission/#authorskit).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Network-assisted Collaborative Automated Driving Workshop, Victoria, Canada Datum: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 11:32:58 -0700 Von: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> Antwort an: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We sincerely invite you to submit work to the workshop on Network-assisted Collaborative Automated Driving which will be held in conjunction with VTC-Fall 2020 at Victoria, Canada. Paper Submission Deadline: May 18, 2020 Acceptance Notification: June 8, 2020 Final Paper Submission: June 29, 2020 Paper submission: https://vtc2020-fall-rr.trackchair.com/track/1909 Workshop Dates: October 4, 2020 Call for Papers As cars become increasingly automated and connected, it is anticipated travelling will be safer and more efficient. However, the natural segregation of the two vehicle technology areas has been dragging our pace towards that goal. Vehicular communications, or V2X, which enable vehicles to exchange information in real time with each other and with other road participants in a range of a few hundreds of meters, offers opportunities to augment individual vehicles’ understanding of the environment and to cooperate with the traffic in a more cohesive manner. But its protocol design has largely been independent of actual automated/autonomous driving applications. On the other hand, vehicle automation, a domain used to leverage a vehicle’s own sensor suit to sense and operate, hasn’t gotten many algorithms to handle over the air input of different granularities regarding the environment. Novel cooperative automated driving applications leveraging V2X data are needed. This dedicated workshop concerns the most recent advancements in wireless communications, sensory technologies and information processing. It aims to advance solutions combining the power of wireless communications and traditional vehicle automation for a safer, more efficient automated/autonomous vehicle. Challenges, opportunities and benefits of performing research in this interdisciplinary domain will be analyzed and highlighted. The workshop will invite distinguished speakers. It is expected to be interactive. The technical areas of the workshop include, but not limited to 1) V2X communication protocol design, testing and evaluation 2) V2X assisted/enhanced applications 3) Vehicular cooperative sensory fusion 4) Cooperative automated driving, path planning and control 5) Network-augmented ADAS *Paper Submission Guidelines* Original papers are solicited. Papers must have not been published nor be submitted for publication elsewhere. The workshop Technical Program Committee will review all papers and make selection based on the quality of the submission and its relevance to the workshop scope. Workshop papers will be subject to the same formatting and length requirements as papers for the regular technical sessions of VTC 2020-Fall (5-page limit for paper submissions, plus a maximum of 2 additional pages for $100 per page for the final version).

The scope of the workshop is wide range of topics relating to networks and communication considerations for new and emerging verticals. The best-effort Internet of today is well suited for traditional terminals and web-based applications. However, in large number of emerging applications, the tolerance to network delays, packet losses or outages is extremely low, instead guarantees from the network for precise per-packet delivery become necessary. Hologram-based applications are a natural progression to the evolution of media. The current network infrastructures just barely meet the demands of high bandwidth and low latency combined together for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) but networked-holograms require a paradigm shift in a media communication methodology. The specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture and frameworks for delivering high precision of services - Convergence and optimizations of network protocols for Industrial and Tactile networks - Investigations, survey and techniques in data plane for Industrial and Tactile internet. - Scheduling in networks for high-precision applications - Mechanisms to support ultra-low-latency in packet based networks - Verification and proof of service delivery in high-precision networks - Maximizing link utilization for high-throughput applications - Architecture and protocols for reliable and lossless packet delivery - Network security and privacy issues in Industrial and Tactile internet - Resource allocation mechanisms for deterministic, reliable and lossless data transmission - Requirements and challenges in Holographic type communications - Networking requirements and challenges of VR/AR - Media formats for holographic type communications - Methods for transmission of multi-sensory holographic media - High-throughput transport for VR/AR and Holographic type communications - Adaptive video streaming for network/user dynamics - Video analytics and smart offloading for VR/AR - Measurement study of existing VR/AR and HTC applications ## PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We welcome the submission of both full technical papers, demos and “visionary” position papers. Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must use the new ACM template (using sigconf document type) from the 2018 ACM consolidated template package (you can also use this barebone LaTeX template).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [EW2020 is postponed] [CFP: extended Deadline June, 6] Special Session "Wireless communication with UAVs". Verona, Italy. NEW DATES: September 21-23 Datum: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 09:20:26 +0000 Von: Fakhreddine, Aymen <Aymen.Fakhreddine(a)aau.at> Antwort an: Fakhreddine, Aymen <Aymen.Fakhreddine(a)aau.at> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to submit your original work to the Special Session on "Wireless communication with UAVs" for the 26th European Wireless (EW) conference. New conference dates: September 21-23rd, 2020 New submission deadline: June 6th, 2020 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-enabled solutions are becoming very popular. UAVs (or drones) are attractive owing to their flexibility and potential cost-efficiency in comparison with conventional aircraft. Drones are perceived as game changers and development enablers since they may be used to deploy and optimize the network to improve its coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure the best communication performance, reduce energy consumption, and dynamically respond to detected network problems. The benefits are limited only by imagination.

An edge system is composed of any computing and networking resources along the path between data sources and cloud data centers. Depending on the specific computing needs, edge computing devices can use either a wireless or a wired connection to exchange messages with the data sources. IoT devices and sensors can then exploit the hierarchical structure of the edge and cloud system to analyze the collected data and provide useful information to users in a timely manner. For example, wearable sensors could use the computing resources of the user’s smartphone, laptop, or even smart vehicle to analyze the collected data. Because a large majority of edge devices are battery operated and have limited connectivity, the energy efficiency of computation becomes critical. To this end, it is important to minimize the energy consumption of all the components of an edge system, including sensors, IoT devices, edge nodes, and network devices while guaranteeing the desired performance. For this special issue we solicit original experimental, conceptual, and theoretical contributions on the following topics related to energy-efficient edge computing: - energy-aware application placement and offloading - energy-aware resource management - energy-aware data management - energy-aware edge2cloud coordination - energy-aware sensing for edge computing systems - energy-efficient hardware architectures for edge computing and devices - energy-efficient edge computing for AI applications - energy-efficient edge computing applications - edge computing powered by distributed renewable energy resources - energy-efficient vehicular edge computing - energy-efficient edge computing for autonomous robots - energy-efficient networks for edge computing Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts via the online system (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tsusc-cs). The manuscript must follow the IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing author guidelines (https://www.computer.org/web/tsusc/author).

The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, the Organizing Committee of IEEE SECON 2020, in concert with the Steering Committee and IEEE, has decided that the conference will run as a virtual conference (i.e., using remote audio/video support) and not as an in-person event. Authors will be required to present their paper remotely, according to IEEE policies and procedures about publication(s). Attendees will still be able to enjoy the presentations and interact with the authors remotely. We will communicate the details of the specific audio/video tools we will be using, as well as, the scheduling and format of paper presentations and other conference events. A registration will still be required for all authors and conference attendees; we are currently re-defining this aspect. For this reason, the registration deadline originally communicated to authors of accepted papers is postponed to a later date. However, the deadline for the camera-ready version remains the same.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Naeem Khademi <naeem.khademi(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 28. März 2020 13:36:55 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] EXTENDED DEADLINE: The Second Workshop on the Future of Internet Transport (FIT 2020) Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. Note that the *submission deadline is approaching soon (06.04.2020).* *The Second Workshop on the Future of Internet Transport (FIT 2020)* *Call for Papers* Workshop homepage: https://networking.ifip.org/2020/workshops/fit-2020 To be held in conjunction with the IFIP Networking 2020 Conference (NETWORKING 2020, https://networking.ifip.org/2020/) June 22, Paris, France Over the last several decades and since its conception, the Internet transport layer has gradually been ossified, where deployment of new protocols and mechanisms has been extremely hard if not impossible. Application developers have traditionally been bound to use either stream-oriented connection-based reliable communication using TCP or datagram-oriented connection-less unreliable communication using UDP, and middleboxes have been mostly configured to allow traffic from these two protocols only, and hence disincentivizing the application developers to use any novel transport protocols and services (e.g., SCTP, DCCP, etc). In recent years, this long-standing stalemate has been broken thanks to the rapid progress made on several fronts amongst them: (1) IETF’s Transport Services working group (TAPS) and several industry stakeholders’ efforts to introduce platform- and protocol-independent transport layer APIs (e.g., Apple’s Network.framework, the IETF TAPS API, and the NEAT API); (2) new transport protocols being deployed on the wire that run over UDP as a substrate (e.g., Google’s QUIC) to get around middleboxes; (3) new congestion control mechanisms other than NewReno and Linux’ CUBIC (e.g., Google’s BBR) and finally (4) HTTP3 that is an effort to port HTTP2 over QUIC. This has coincided with the introduction of new network technologies such as emerging 5G mobile networks currently being standardized by the 3GPP, and the network softwarization movement using virtualization and containerization techniques (e.g., SDN, NFV). With the emergence of networks that offer much faster PHY bitrates and aggregate capacity (e.g., 5G, WiFi6), and with emerging applications that require much more stringent latency requirements (e.g., AR/VR/XR or automotive V2X), the need for an efficient transport layer stack – that is likely to run in the userland instead of the OS kernel – will become much more significantly highlighted. *Topics of interest* include, but *are not limited to*: - Technical issues and challenges that arise in the transport layer with the emergence of high-speed and high-capacity networks (e.g., 5G) - Transport protocols and their performance in emergent latency-sensitive and bandwidth-consuming application use-cases (e.g., V2X communication and high-fidelity AR/VR/XR) - Design, deployment, and evaluation of state-of-the-art transport protocols (e.g., QUIC) and their congestion control mechanisms (e.g., BBR) - The performance of transport protocols in virtual environments; especially novel userland transport protocols such as QUIC - Design and evaluation of new transport layer APIs for future Internet and strategies for their deployment - Design, evaluation, deployment, and measurement studies of transport-layer security mechanisms (e.g., TLS 1.3) *Paper format and submission instructions* Submitted papers should be unpublished work and they should not be under review by any other conference or journal. They must be *no more than 6 pages* (IEEE two-column format, 10pt) in total including references and figures. Papers will be reviewed single-blind.

The Extended deadline is June 6, 2020! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-enabled solutions are becoming very popular. UAVs (or drones) are attractive owing to their flexibility and potential cost-efficiency in comparison with conventional aircraft. Drones are perceived as game changers and development enablers since they may be used to deploy and optimize the network to improve its coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure the best communication performance, reduce energy consumption, and dynamically respond to detected network problems. The benefits are limited only by imagination. This special session welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of wireless communication with drones, including channel modeling, integration into cellular networks (4G, 5G, and b5G), system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this session will be on civilian applications of drones. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - UAV integration in Cellular and Vehicular Networks - Path/trajectory planning - Radio resource management for UAV communications - Interference management, localization and positioning for UAVs - Backhaul for aerial BS (UAVs) - Visible Light Communication with UAVs - Channel modeling and propagation (Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground) - 5G and b5G, mmWave and Massive MIMO for drones - UAVs for IoT applications - EC schemes for UAV-enabled networks - Testbeds, demonstrations, field trials, and prototyping - Machine learning for UAV communications - Economical frameworks for UAV communications (e.g., cost studies, business model) - Regulatory schemes for UAV communications (e.g., safety operation, privacy protection) We invite submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 6-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through the EDAS submission system. Papers exceeding the maximum length of six pages will be subject to an over-length charge of 100 euro per additional page (a maximum of two pages can be added). All papers selected for publication will be published together with European Wireless 2020 proceedings and available on IEEE Xplore database (approval pending) and will be indexed in the abstract and citation database Scopus (approval pending). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important dates: Paper submission: June 6, 2020 Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2020 Camera ready due: June 31, 2020 Conference: September 21-23, 2020 Useful Links: Submission https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26840&track=100859 Conference web-site https://ew2020.european-wireless.org/call-for-special-sessions/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
