Task offloading technology can break through the resource limitations of IoT devices, reduce the computing load and improve the task processing efficiency. Optimizing DNNs through task offloading has become a new direction in edge intelligence research. Deep learning driven approaches can facilitate offloading decision making, dynamic resource allocation and content caching, benefit in coping with the growth in volumes of communication and computation for emerging IoT applications. However, how to customize deep learning techniques for task offloading in IoTs is still under discussion. Learning algorithms in edge computing are still immature and inefficient. The goal of the IOIoT Workshop is devoted to the most recent developments of intelligent offloading technologies for IoT and and edge computing. Industry experience reports and empirical studies are also welcome. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest advancements and identify further challenges for task offloading in IoTs that must be overcome.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] European Wireless 2020 - Special Session on Future Trends for Standardization and Design of Vehicular Networks Datum: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:37:52 +0100 Von: Michele Polese <michele.polese(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Michele Polese <michele.polese(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear all, please find below a call for paper for a Special Session on Vehicular Networks that is being organized for European Wireless 2020 (Verona, Italy - May 6-8). Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. Best, Michele Polese, Marco Giordani, Michele Zorzi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Session – Future trends for standardization and design of vehicular networks Recent evolution of the automotive industry have enabled the development of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), with the goal to promote increased traffic efficiency and enhanced safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Wireless networks can fully unleash the potential of CAVs by promoting cooperation among vehicles and the fixed infrastructure on roads and highways, and this has motivated the study of different technologies for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications (also jointly referred to as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networking). As of today, the two main radio technologies that support V2X communications are 3GPP Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) and IEEE 802.11p. These, however, will not completely fulfill the foreseen challenging requirements (in terms of, e.g., ultra low latency, and ultra high reliability and throughput) of future vehicular services. This motivates the design and analysis of next-generation V2I and V2V networks, with the introduction of new, more capable technologies. In this regard, the 3GPP and the IEEE are presenting new study items, specifications and standard drafts on future vehicular networks. 3GPP NR-V2X extends the specifications of 3GPP NR to support sidelink communications, and integrates in vehicular networks the flexibility of the NR frame, protocol stack and spectrum usage. Similarly, IEEE 802.11bd targets communications in the usual 5.9 GHz band, but also in the unlicensed mmWave spectrum. The usage of a heterogeneous set of spectrum bands and technologies (sub-6 GHz, mmWaves, VLC) could benefit future connected services, but, at the same time, introduces the need for new research and standardization efforts that range from channel modeling, to the design of the full-protocol stack, with challenges at the physical, MAC, network and transport layers. This special session aims at collecting original contributions that can advance the state of the art on the design challenges for V2X networks, with a focus on three main areas of interest. First of all, we look forward to submissions that discuss 3GPP and IEEE standardization efforts, as well as of new services, applications, business models and trials of V2X networks. Second, it is of particular interest the analysis and design of channel models, physical layer, beam and/or mobility management, resource allocation, network and transport layer schemes for next-generation V2X, with a focus also on mmWave and VLC communications. Finally, this special session welcomes papers on the application of learning techniques in vehicular scenarios, and on security and privacy concerns for V2X, especially if linked to standard proposals and developments. Topics of interest for the special session include, but are not limited to: - IEEE and 3GPP vehicular standards - New services and applications for connected cars - Cooperative services in vehicular networks - Millimeter waves for vehicular networks - Visible light communication (VLC) for vehicular networks - Spectrum coexistence and spectrum sharing among V2X technologies - Channel models for vehicular networks - Beam management in vehicular networks - Resource allocation and mobility management in vehicular networks - Routing and transport protocols in vehicular networks - Security/trust/privacy in vehicular networks - Bringing learning to connected cars - Trials and business models in vehicular networks The papers of this special session will go through the same rigorous single-blind peer-review process of the main conference. Submitted manuscripts must be original and not be published or under review elsewhere. Papers must not infringe any copyright or third party right. The proceedings of EW 2020 will be published and will be made available on IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ICC 2020 Workshop on Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for Futuristic 6G Networks (ULMC6GN) Datum: Thu, 16 Jan 2020 17:08:17 -0500 Von: Haris Pervaiz <h.b.pervaiz(a)LANCASTER.AC.UK> Antwort an: Haris Pervaiz <h.b.pervaiz(a)LANCASTER.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the 3rd IEEE Workshop on Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for Futuristic 6G Networks (ULMC6GN) will be held on  7-11 June 2020, in Dublin, Ireland (with IEEE ICC 2020). The workshop website is available at  [https://icc2020.ieee-icc.org/workshop/ws-15-workshop-ultra-high-speed-low-l…] --------------------------------------------------- Scope and Topics of Interest --------------------------------------------------- The International workshop on Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for futuristic 6G Networks (ULMC6GN) will take place during IEEE ICC 2020 in Dublin, Ireland, on June 11, 2020. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the recent developments in ultra high speed, low latency, and massive connectivity communication with a vision of their potential advancement into beyond 5G and towards 6G. Considering the great success of the 1st and 2nd Workshops on “Ultra-High Speed, Low Latency and Massive Connectivity Communication for 5G & B5G” at Globecom 2018 and WCNC 2019, we aim to organize the 3rd Workshop on “Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for futuristic 6G Networks (ULMC6GN)” in ICC 2020 to bring together academic researchers, industrial practitioners, and individuals working on this emerging exciting research areas to share their new ideas, latest findings, identify and discuss potential use cases, open research problems, technical challenges, and solution methods in this context. Today’s wireless services and systems have come a long way since the rollout of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and multimedia applications has increased tremendously. In addition to these, new application classes, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) communication, ultra-reliable and low latency communications (uRLLC), massive machine type communications (mMTC), and the Internet of Things (IoT), have gained significant interest recently for 5G wireless networks. The trend on the variety and the number of mobile devices along with the mobile applications will certainly continue beyond 5G, creating a wide range of technical challenges like cost, power efficiency, spectrum efficiency, extreme reliability, low latency, robustness against diverse channel conditions, cooperative networking capability and coexistence, dynamic and flexible utilization of wireless spectrum, etc. In order to address these technical challenges, 5G waveforms and radio access technologies (RATs) should be much more flexible. In the enhanced Mobile Broadband scenario, the user experienced data rate (from 100 Mbit/s, in urban and sub-urban areas, to 1 Gbit/s, in indoor cases) – defined as achievable data rate that is available ubiquitously across the related considered target coverage area to a mobile user/device – has the highest importance, especially in hotspots. In the massive machine type communication scenario, the high connection density (up to 10^6/km2), very high link budget as well as long battery life time are the most important parameter. For the ultra-reliable low latency communication scenarios, low latency (ms level) and reliability (five nines, and beyond) together with zero mobility interruption gab are of highest importance, e.g. in order to connect cars, in some high mobility cases, drones or mobile service robots. Therefore, this workshop aims at presenting the most relevant scenarios, prominent research outcomes and state-of-the-art advances of 5G related to ultra-reliable low latency communication. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -Integrated Aerial/Terrestrial Networks -6G wireless networks -Connected and Autonomous Aerial Networks -AI & Data Analytics in Intelligent, Adaptive, and Efficient Networks of 2030s -Ubiquitous 3D Super-Connectivity for networks of 2030s -Predictive Resource Allocation and Scheduling for 6G -Novel and Innovative NOMA solutions for 6G -MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING for Future Networking -Connected, autonomous, networked vehicles and UAVs -Radio access network (RAN) architecture -Energy and spectral efficient low latency communications -Novel hybrid and flexible waveforms for low latency communications -Cross-Layer design and performance analysis for low latency applications -Protocol stack restructure and procedures for low latency communication -Coverage improvement techniques for low latency communication -Spectrum aspects of URLLC – carrier frequency and spectrum requirements -Network slicing and network functions virtualization – with focus on low latency -Novel approaches towards session management and protocol stack, -Network infrastructure and core network concepts, -Cloud-RAN concepts in the context of latency- or reliability-critical applications, -Architectural enablers for distributed or edge computing, -Technical solutions to allow for a co-existence of traffic with stringent latency/reliability requirements and other traffic (e.g. with ultra-high throughput requirements). -Enabling technologies: e.g., SDN, NFV, CRAN, D2D, cloud/fog computing and networking -Emerging cellular architectures for distributed and flexible network functions in 5G/B5G -Network/Resource slicing and network functions virtualization with focus on low latency -Advanced radio resource management techniques for URLLC -Low latency industrial control systems -Information theoretic results for low latency communications -Joint Control and Communication management for 5G use cases such as V2V, V2X and V2I -Risk-Aware Resource Allocation for URLLC -Dynamic resource allocation for optimized latency and reliability in vehicular networks -Marriage between NOMA, URLLC and Mobile Edge Computing --------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------------------------------- Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Suzan Bayhan <suzan.bayhan(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 15. Januar 2020 17:34:27 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 3rd Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'20) co-located with ACM EuroSys 2020 (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call.) =========================== The 3rd Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'20) co-located with ACM EuroSys 2020 April 27-30, 2020 | Heraklion, Crete, Greece https://edge-sys.github.io/2020/ =========================== 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 3rd Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics, and Networking (EdgeSys'20) 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. EdgeSys 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. The topics include but are not limited to the following: - System Architecture for Edge Computing - Serverless and In-network Computing (P4) - Edge Storage Systems - Edge-driven Data Analytics - Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services - Edge Security and Privacy - Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing - Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies - Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics - System Performance and Measurement - Edge Networking and IoT Communications - (Autonomous) Management for Edge Systems - Security and Trust Management Workshop & TPC Chairs: Aaron Ding (TU Delft, Netherlands) Richard Mortier (University of Cambridge, UK) Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Henning Schulzrinne (Columbia University, USA) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Peter Pietzuch (Imperial College London, UK) Dieter Kranzlmüller (University of Munich / LRZ, Germany) Dirk Kutscher (Hochschule Emden/Leer, Germany) Technical Program Committee: Babak Alipour (Apple, USA) Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) Jana Giceva (TU Munich, Germany) Ionel Gog (UC Berkeley, USA) Yao Guo (Peking University, China) Tim Harris (Amazon, UK) Volker Hilt (Nokia Bell Labs, Germany) Kleomenis Katevas (Imperial, UK) Asterios Katsifodimos (TU Delft, Netherlands) Nic Lane (University of Oxford, UK) Ilias Leontiadis (Samsung AI, UK) Yong Li (Tsinghua, China) Jonathan Mace (Max Planck Institute, Germany) Jukka Manner (Aalto, Finland) Roberto Morabito (Princeton, USA) Diana Popescu (University of Cambridge, UK) Qifan Pu (Google, USA) Etienne Rivière (UCLouvain, Belgium) Andreas Seitz (Siemens, Germany) Maarten van Steen (University of Twente, Netherlands) Fusang Zhang (Chinese Academy of Science, China) Marco Zimmerling (TU Dresden, Germany) Matthias Waehlisch (FU Berlin, Germany) Michael Welzl (University of Oslo, Norway) Tianyin Xu (UIUC, USA) Publicity Chair: Suzan Bayhan (University of Twente, Netherlands) Web Chair: Vittorio Cozzolino (TU Munich, Germany) Submission Guidelines: ------------ Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Trans. on Sustainable Computing Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Edge Computing Datum: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 16:15:15 +0000 Von: Daniel Grosu <dgrosu(a)WAYNE.EDU> Antwort an: Daniel Grosu <dgrosu(a)WAYNE.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS =============== ================================================ IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Edge Computing ================================================ The future increase in the amount of data and workloads generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices and connected sensors will lead to the necessity to move computational nodes from the cloud data centers closer to the data source, i.e., at the edge of the cloud, for reduced latency. 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). When submitting the manuscript please select the special issue on Energy-Efficient Edge Computing. The submission should be original work by the authors, not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: March 15, 2020 Preliminary notification: July 15, 2020 Revision deadline: August 15, 2020 Final notification: September 15, 2020 Publication: April - June 2021 (subject to editorial calendar) Guest Co-Editors: ----------------- Daniel Grosu, Wayne State University, USA. <dgrosu(a)wayne.edu> Jiannong Cao, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong <csjcao(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk> Marco Brocanelli, Wayne State University, USA. <brok(a)wayne.edu> ========================================================================= ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

EDAS link for submissions: https://edas.info/N26864 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wireless Sensor, Robot and UAV networks are characterized by the coordination and mobility of nodes that are able to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Specialized networked systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and to respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. Also, they might be able to integrate within existing and upcoming mobile infrastructures (e.g. the 5G), by enabling the sensing operations on complex and dynamic scenarios, and to process the data on the edge or to offload them toward existing cloud services. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, ground and aerial robotic systems are in need of new networking techniques as well as of novel cloud/edge architectures for data gathering and processing that might unlock the potentials of such systems. To this purpose, WiSARN aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of sensor robotic and aerial networks.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: 2020 WCNC 3rd Workshop on Intelligent Computing and Caching at the Network Edge (Deadline extended to 12 Jan 2020) Datum: Fri, 3 Jan 2020 12:44:27 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies for cross-posting this invite: Dear colleagues: Call for Papers: 2020 WCNC 3rd Workshop on Intelligent Computing and Caching at the Network Edge, 6-9 April 2020, Seoul, South Korea, <http://users.jyu.fi/~zhchang/edge2020> https://wcnc2020.ieee-wcnc.org/workshop/3rd-workshop-intelligent-computing-… With the explosive growth of smart devices and the advent of many new applications, mobile traffic volume has been growing exponentially. The myriad technological advances proposed for the 5G networks still mostly focus on capacity increase, which is constrained by the limited spectrum resources as well as the diminishing profits for operators and, therefore, will always lag behind the growth rate of mobile traffic. Therefore, novel distributed architectures, which bring network functions (such as computing and caching) and contents to the edge, emerges, i.e., mobile edge computing and caching, to confront the aforementioned challenges in the network development and many emerging applications, such as AR/VR, IoT, eHealth, autonomous driving , gaming etc. However, on the way towards efficient and intelligent network edge computing and caching, there are many open problems ahead. From the computing part, how to flexibly utilize the distributed computing resources at the network edge, such as mobile computing or fog computing is of significance. Moreover, what to be offloaded to the edge node and when to offload also call for research attentions. From the caching part, what, when, where and how to cache the contents to reduce the demand for radio resources are vital. Last but not the most, how to efficiently integrate computing and caching at the edge node and utilize the synergy of computing and caching also requires a breakthrough. This workshop aims to consolidate the timely and solid works of the current state-of-the art in terms of fundamental research ideas and network engineering geared towards exploiting intelligent caching and computing at the network edge. The topics of interests related to edge caching and computing include (but are not limited to): System modelling: Computation modelling, caching modelling, energy consumption modelling etc.; Enabling technologies: e.g., SDN, NFV, CRAN, D2D, cloud/fog computing and networking, etc.; Application areas: vehicular networking, IoT, smart grid etc; Novel network architecture: convergence of computing, communications and caching, content/information-centric network, cognitive computing and networking, big data analytic; Context-aware schemes: incentive mechanism for computing and caching, pricing, game theoretic approach, network economic etc, caching placement and delivery; Mobility management for mobile edge computing and proactive caching; Energy efficiency aspects: energy harvesting, energy storage, energy transfer, etc; Security and privacy issue; Prototyping, test-beds and field trials. Important Date Paper Submission Deadline:12 Jan., 2020 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: 31 Jan., 2020 Camera-Ready Submission: 15 Feb., 2020 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original papers of no more than 6 pages (standard IEEE proceedings, two-column, 10 pt font, etc.), including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format.

However, despite the research advancements in recent years, many open issues still prevent the full realization of such vision. To meet the requirements of SEs, telecommunication systems should support significantly high data rates, traffic capacity, connection density, energy efficiency, as well as small latency. Being massively distributed into the environment, smart objects may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the cloud or at the network edge. In addition to the traditional pull-based data delivery, push-based and publish/subscribe traffic patterns must be supported. To accommodate newly emerging more demanding services the network infrastructure should be agile, cost effective and possibly softwarized. The satisfaction of security and privacy requirements will play a fundamental role in the SEs; indeed, without effective mechanisms, attacks and malfunctions in the IoT will outweigh any of their benefits. The PERSIST-IoT workshop aims to solicit a collection of innovative papers reporting the most recent advancements in the fields of smart architecture, protocols and practical implementations enabling IoT for smart environments. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following: · Models of network component interactions on smart environments; · Distributed sensing and control in smart environments; · Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart environments; · Mobile edge computing for smart environments; · Crowdsourcing in smart environments; · IoT architecture and middleware; · Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC communication; · Novel networking paradigms (e.g., ICN, SDN) for IoT; · Energy efficient solutions for IoT; · Device-2-device communications (D2D); · Reliability, security, privacy and trust in smart environment ecosystems; · Business models to promote user collaboration and resource sharing in smart environments; · Testbeds demonstrating the feasibility of smart environments; · Applications, business, standards, and social issues. ******************************************************************************* * Important dates * Abstract Registration: January 7, 2020 Submission Deadline: January 15, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 2020 Camera Ready: March 6, 2020 ******************************************************************************* * Submission instructions * Submissions will be accepted through EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=26855).

It also brings into focus the need for usable security mechanisms that scale. Meanwhile, as a fundamental part of numerous services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing, social networking needs to be provisioned and used via mobile devices in any place at any time. From 2016 onwards, Facebook had around one billion monthly active users who accessed Facebook via only mobile devices. Utilizing the emerging mobile technologies to enable pervasive and enriched social interactions has become a vital trend. The 12th Workshop on Hot Topics in Pervasive mObile Social neTworking (HotPOST 2020) aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work on mobile computing, social networks, and the intersection of both, to identify new problems and discuss latest research ideas and results, especially those related to emerging technologies.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Datum: Fri, 27 Dec 2019 04:40:58 -0500 Von: Sahil Garg <garg.sahil1990(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sahil Garg <garg.sahil1990(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers! IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Special Issue on Intent-based Networking for 5G-Envisioned Internet of Connected Vehicles Link: https://static.wixstatic.com/ugd/eaf218_68edd209fdcc49dfa9a7ded565624232.pdf Submission Deadline: March 30, 2020 Overview: With the recent advances in wireless communications, the automotive industry is leading to evolution. To succeed in this emerging era of technology, the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoCV) has emerged as one of the potential applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). It refers to the dynamic mobile communication systems that communicate between vehicles and public networks to enhance the connectivity between cars via technology. By offering a wide variety of infotainment services, fleet operations, and in-vehicle applications, IoCV has gained the tremendous capacity to provide a safer and sustainable transportation system to the society. According to Gartner Inc., “the connected car is already a reality, and in-vehicle wireless connectivity is expanding rapidly”. As a result, the evolution of cars into the IoT will keep on accelerating the global market which is expected to grow by 270 percent by 2022. Further, the increasing deployment of sensors and ever-evolving cognitive technology open up new opportunities for IoCV. Due to these significant developments, connected vehicles are receiving widespread attention from the major automotive giants such as Tesla, BMW, Waymo (Google), Uber, Volvo, etc. Despite all the opportunities offered by the IoCV, their highly dynamic topology and the increasing number of vehicles pose challenges regarding delivering low-latency vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The fifth generation (5G) wireless networks emerge as a critical provider to handle the stringent connectivity requirements of IoCV. Moreover, with the development of massive multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), terahertz (THz) frequencies, millimetre-wave (mmWave), and heterogeneous networks (HetNets), 5G intends to guarantee new capabilities related to connectivity, data rates, transmission delay, throughput and moreover quality of experience (QoE). Thus, integrating 5G cellular systems into IoCV is a promising technology to achieve the goals mentioned above. However, as we are moving towards the 5G communication era, the data generated by connected vehicles is expected to grow exponentially; which in turn brings significant challenges to 5G. Therefore, to promote productivity, improve efficiency, and ensure the efficient handling of continuous growing data, it requires the support of high computing paradigm that can process the data with minimum delays. To accomplish these objectives, a programmable and scalable network paradigm is the need of the hour that can provide a variety of services to 5G-envisioned IoCV in diversified scenarios. In this direction, software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) have gained much attention from the research fraternity. They rely more on network programmability to realize efficient network services. However, this traditional device-to-device management paradigm falls short while dealing with 5G mobile networks as it is characterized by a humongous cycle of connected devices. To overcome these problems, intent-based networking (IBN) has evolved as one of the paradigm shifts which combines automation with intelligence. Typically, IBN is composed of four essential elements namely, translation and validation, automated implementation, awareness of network state, and assurance and dynamic optimization/remediation; which takes the networking strategy to a higher level. Due to these fundamental elements, IBN holds excellent potential for reliable network support with quick turnaround and scalable services. Additionally, it also facilitates simplified network operations with seamless integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This, in turn, provides more opportunities to build more robust and efficient network designs for 5G-envisioned IoCV. Thus, this special issue intends to offer an opportunity for researchers (both from industry and academia) to present the dedicated efforts on the key theories, innovative schemes, and significant applications for realizing QoS in 5G-envisioned IoCV communication. This special issue mainly focuses on collecting the original contributions related to IBN-IoCV amalgamation in 5G wireless networks, which aims to provide high-performance scalable computing to connected vehicles while advancing the V2X communication infrastructure. Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: -New opportunities/challenges/ use cases for IBN in 5G enabled IoCV -Machine learning and optimisation-based algorithms, tools and solutions -Distributed mobility management and network intelligence -New architecture and communication protocols -Innovative applications and services -MIMO/massive MIMO/millimeter wave technologies -Big data analytics and Industrial IoT Applications -Role of cloud, edge and fog computing -Secure, dependable and trustable cyber-physical systems -Privacy protection and trust management -Energy-efficient and green communication solutions -Reliability, dependability, and fault tolerance support for IBN PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Paper submission should conform to the information for authors available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its.
