As the relevant environments grow increasingly diverse and dense, we encourage contributions addressing this increased heterogeneity, and ultra dense networks. Papers highlighting novel ideas that are not ready for extensive evaluations, report on new tools and platforms with limited evaluation, or topics that could be adequately described in a short format are invited for submission as short papers. Initial explorations of profound problems in developing countries that have been addressed using IoT solutions may also be appropriate short paper submissions. The conference proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Selected accepted papers will be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN) or ACM Transactions on the Internet of Things (TIOT). SUBMISSION Submissions to EWSN 2020 must be original (i.e., not previously published) and not currently under review by any other conference or journal. EWSN 2020 will adopt a double-blind review process. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions to ensure that their identities are not disclosed to reviewers and reviewers are discouraged from actively working to uncover author identities. To promote early dissemination, submission to arXiv (or similar) is allowed, provided cross-citations are not made. Formatting requirements. Both full (10-12 pages) and short papers (4-6 pages) are welcome. Authors should carefully consider this choice as full papers will not be considered as short paper candidates during the review phase. Pages must use 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] EWSN 2020 Dependability Competition - Call for Competitors Datum: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 06:06:39 -0400 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)TUGRAZ.AT> Antwort an: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)TUGRAZ.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Competitors 5th Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) February 17-19, 2020 - Lyon, France http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the success of the previous four editions, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance of state-of-the-art low-power wireless protocols under the same settings and in harsh RF environments. ******** SCENARIO AND CATEGORIES ******** The competition scenario will emulate the operation of a wireless sensor network where several co-existing devices are crowding the RF spectrum. In particular, the messages generated by several source nodes need to be collected at a single destination in a reliable, timely, and energy-efficient way despite the presence of interference. In contrast to the previous editions, this year's competition will make use of nRF52840-DK wireless nodes. Contestants are free to use any of the technologies and physical modes supported by this platform. Two categories are planned for this year's edition: 1) Single-hop data collection. In this category, up to 20 source nodes generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to the same destination. The latter is located in proximity of all source nodes and can be reached directly, i.e., in normal conditions, the sink can be reached by every source node within a single hop. 2) Multi-hop data collection. In this category, up to 60 source nodes generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to the same destination. The latter may be located several hops away from a source node, even when making use of the coded PHY layers available on the nRF52. A detailed description of the scenario and evaluation procedure can be found on: http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html). ******** FORMAT ******** The competition will take place remotely and the final results will be announced during EWSN 2020 in Lyon. Contestants willing to participate to the competition must submit a short entry abstract describing their solution by the competition entry deadline. The entry abstracts will be used to pre-select the teams participating to the competition. Accepted contestants will participate to a remote preparation phase during which they can test and optimize their solution on the competition infrastructure. At the end of this phase, all contestants will be asked to provide a single binary file for the final evaluation phase. Each competing team will have the possibility to publish a competition abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Furthermore, a poster session dedicated to the dependability competition will take place during the main conference. The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session of the main conference and will be able to hold a plenary short presentation about their solution. ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. Any low-power wireless protocol is eligible and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes, nor on the wireless technology used. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing solutions, which can be based on well-known protocols or previously published material. The same team can participate in multiple categories. The EWSN 2020 dependability competition will take place if at least six teams competing in the same category respond to this preliminary call. ******** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ******** Contestants must submit a short entry abstract describing their approach by the competition entry deadline. This entry abstract should prominently include the name of all members of the team, as well as their affiliation and contact information. Furthermore, the entry abstract should clearly state the categories for which the solution is intended. All submissions will be treated as confidential until the camera-ready deadline. Detailed information about the submission instructions can be found on: http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html. ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** - Competition entry deadline: September 27, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Notification of acceptance: October 11, 2019 - Remote preparation phase: from October 28, 2019 to December 19, 2019 - Submission of the final binary file: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Evaluation phase: from December 21, 2019 to February 16, 2020 - Camera-ready abstract: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) - Awards and poster session: February 17-19, 2020 ******** ORGANIZERS ******** - Carlo Alberto Boano and Markus Schuß (TU Graz, Austria) - Nathalie Mitton (Inria, France) An extended PDF version of this call for competitors can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/y6otsd9c. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call --------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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/3a8387_f232b36e50c449aa9f05797a278990c4.pdf Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019 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.

Vehicular communication is a key technology in intelligent transportation systems. For many years now, the academic and industrial research communities have been investigating these communications in order to improve efficiency and safety of future transportation. Vehicular networking will offer a wide variety of applications, including safety applications as well as infotainment applications. More generally, future communicating cars will evolve in a more intelligent environment also called smart cities. In this context, the interaction between intelligent vehicles and intelligent infrastructures will influence each other, to achieve each other targets. In one hand, the car drivers (or automated cars) want to travel in an efficient and safe manner and in the other hand smart cities would try to offer the best life conditions for citizens by reducing air pollution and noise for the inhabitants, and reducing traffic congestion with a better traffic information system for car drivers. Efficient interaction between vehicles and smart cities infrastructures is naturally needed to reach these goals. At the same time the set of the communicating vehicles is seen as an Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform providing several interesting capacities. First with the increasing number of sensors embedded on vehicles, a large variety of information can be collected and exploited not only by vehicles but also by other stakeholders (car markers, insurance companies, cities authorities, …). Second, the computing and storage capacities available on vehicles can form a vehicular cloud that can be exploited by third parties. Future smart cities are well placed and a natural candidate to take profit from these extraordinary mobile infrastructures. IWVSC'2019 aims at providing a forum and to bring together people from both academia and industry, to discuss recent developments in vehicular networking technologies and their interaction with future smart cities in order to promote further research activities and challenges. We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications for smart cities Medium access control protocols for V2X Routing protocols for active safety in V2X Geographical routing protocols for V2X Architectures, algorithms and protocols design for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks V2X cooperation for automated driving V2X cooperation for extended perception Cybersecurity, privacy in vehicular networks Heterogenous vehicular networks (ITS-G5, 3G/4G/5G, VLC, Satellite ) SDN/NFV for vehicular communication QoS provisioning for vehicular networks Vehicular clouds: architecture design, algorithms and protocols for smart cities DTN/ICN for V2X communications Iinteroperability (Vehicles, Infrastructure, traffic lights, VRU) Vehicular social networks Group mobility/Platooning/Autonomous driving in smart cities Cellular V2X 5G/6G technologies for vehicular communications V2X standards and their evolutions (e.g. 802.11p, ITS G5, LTE-V2X, 802.11bd, 5G-V2X, IEEE 802.15.7, IEEE 802.16.9, Geonetworking, IPv6 over WAVE, DIASER, …) Cooperative ITS solutions Machine Learning for Vehicular Networks V2X Experimental Research using Testbeds IoT for automotive Security in vehicular 4G/5G networks Cyber-attacks modeling Blockchain for V2X Security in vehicular hybrid networks Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submissions may be regular papers or short papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/IEEE SEC '19 Call for Posters/Demos Datum: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:59:35 +0000 Von: Yang, Qing <Qing.Yang(a)UNT.EDU> Antwort an: Yang, Qing <Qing.Yang(a)UNT.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org ACM/IEEE SEC '19 Call for Posters/Demos We invite submissions for posters and live demos to the ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC 2019) Poster session. The poster session provides an opportunity to present early-stage, not-yet-ready-for-prime-time research to receive valuable feedback from the community. Topics must fall within the purview of the SEC 2019 call for papers. Posters are meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with conference attendees. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet validated through extensive evaluation. On the other hand, live demos provide an opportunity to give a flavor of real-life applications made possible by your system. Particularly encouraged are the demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees. Research prototypes as well as commercial products are welcome. Demonstrations of previously published systems are also welcome. Posters and demos will be presented during a specially designated session of the conference. To ensure maximum visibility and to garner high interest in the Poster/Demo Session from all attendees, each accepted poster and demo will have the opportunity to deliver a fast elevator pitch to overview and stir interest in the posters. Submission Instructions Poster/Demo submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than two 8.5x11-inch pages including all figures, but not including references. This abstract should be formatted two-column formatting. IEEE templates for Latex and Word that meet these specifications can be found here. The abstract title should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, and mailed to xchen26 [at] gmu [dot] edu. With subject “SEC 2019 - Poster Submission” or “SEC 2019 - Demo Submission” Submissions will be judged based on their novelty as well as the potential to generate discussions. Early-stage work will be preferred. A good way to think about this is that if you are very close to submitting to SEC, OSDI, SOSP, NSDI, (or similar other high profile conferences), you may be past the sweet spot for the poster session. The abstracts of accepted posters/demos will be posted on the conference website and will appear in the conference proceedings. Best Poster/Demo All posters and demos will be considered for the Best Poster Award and the Best Demo Award respectively. An independent review committee will select the winners at the conference. Poster/Demo Chair Xiang Chen, George Mason University Important Dates Deadline for Submission: August 3rd, 2019, 11:59pm EDT Notifications of Acceptance: August 23rd, 2019 Camera-ready version due: Sep 6th, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Springer JNSM SI on Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge Datum: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 15:34:50 +0000 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> Antwort an: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)UNIBO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp advertisement message ************************************************************ Dear Colleagues, this is an announcement of JNSM SI on Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT (SPRINGER) SPECIAL ISSUE Intelligent and Trustworthy Internet Edge *** Submissions due: December 31, 2019 *** https://www.springer.com/?SGWID=0-102-2-1338221-0 [We encourage early submission, please check the open submission schedule policy below.] The emerging and the ever-growing functionality of Internet edges, where physical and virtual things are connected to the network, are opening a wide set of new opportunities, both for novel services/applications and increased efficiency/scalability. These opportunities include locally sharing information, collaborating, and generating/consuming a huge amount of data, by involving a variety of entities, such as micro-data centers, end devices, and resource-sufficient networking nodes. While Fog/Edge Computing is usually expected to bring the resources, including storage and computation closer to users (in comparison to Cloud Computing), a significant effort is needed at the Internet edge to provide a trustworthy computation edge networking environment able to support new computation technologies. Indeed, distributed big data analytics, modern Machine Learning (ML) technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), real-time data collection and processing, scalable and distributed security solutions such as blockchain, and distributed secure data processing, may play a significant role. Moreover, new networking technologies related to Information-Centric Networking (ICN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and network slicing have emerged as the novel paradigms for fast and efficient delivering and retrieving data. This triggers the convergence between the emerging networking concepts and the new computation technologies to reach the vision of an intelligent and trustworthy Internet edge. In order to implement such trustworthy edge networks and services, several operation and management challenges associated with intelligent and trustworthy Internet edge need to be addressed. These challenges include: trustworthy connectivity and network resource management for heterogeneous networking (HetNet); security monitoring, measurement, and assessment to ensure networking and management functions to protect data; effective ML and computation models to consider different resources (storage, networking, and computing), security requirements, and real-time constraints; trustworthiness of data sources; in-network data processing and aggregation, intelligent planning and decision models to handle security and application requirements. This special issue aims to bring together leading research on management infrastructure, applications and the most recent advances in Internet edge-based secure network management solutions. We hence encourage original paper submissions, which have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, from both academia and industry presenting novel research addressing the aforementioned challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Secure intelligent edge systems and networking architectures/protocols to integrate storage, computation, and networking; - Secure intelligent coordination and networking between edge, fog, and cloud; - Software architectures and toolkits for secure intelligent Internet edge; - Trust management and networking among intelligent edges; - Intelligent and secure service function/computation chaining; - Secure NFV, SDN, and network slicing for distributed computations; - Secure ICN with/for edge-enabled Internet; - Secure in-network computation for future networks, inter-data center networking and 5G; - Privacy management for intelligent Internet edge; - Accountability, reliability, and resiliency for intelligent Internet edge; - Quality of Service/Experience and energy efficiency for secure intelligent Internet edges; - Distributed AI with/for secure edge networking; - Distributed ML with enhanced data privacy, ownership, and obfuscation; - Integrating Blockchain with distributed edges and Internet finance; - Data mining and big data analytics for security management in edge networking; - Trustworthy data collection and processing for big data at the edge; - Privacy-preserving big data processing at the edge; - Emerging applications for intelligent secure Internet edge, such as AR/VR, IoT, industrial IoT for Industry 4.0, 5G, cyber-physical systems, smart cities, vehicular systems, healthcare; - Management framework for intelligent secure Internet edge; - Security performance monitoring, measurements, modelling, and evaluations for intelligent Internet edge; - SDN/NFV security architectures and applications for Internet edge; - Security mechanisms in wireless SDN/NFV. Planned Schedule Open-submission schedule: in this special issue, we implement an “open” submission approach, where we do not have a submission time period. Interested authors can submit the paper any time before a fixed deadline, and the review process will be started right after the paper submission, i.e., in a first-in first-serve fashion. The detailed submission schedule is presented as follows: - Manuscript due: December 31, 2019 - Revision notification: 2-month after the submission - Revised paper due: 1.5-month after the revision notification - Final notification: 1-month after the revised paper notification - Expected Publication of the Special Issue: third-quarter of 2020 (early accepted papers will be accessible online before the deadline) Submission Format and Review Guidelines The submitted manuscripts must be written in English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. All submitted papers, if relevant to the theme and objectives of the special issue, will go through an external peer-review process. Submissions should (i) conform strictly to the Instructions for Authors available on the JNSM website and (ii) be submitted through the Editorial Management system available at http://www.editorialmanager.com/jons.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiCom 2020 in London, UK
by Lars Wolf 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Es wäre natürlich sehr gut, hier mit Beiträgen dabei zu sein. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiCom 2020 in London, UK Datum: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:42:04 +0000 Von: Mandalari, Anna Maria <anna-maria.mandalari(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mandalari, Anna Maria <anna-maria.mandalari(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Mobicom 2020 in London, UK! Call for Papers 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’20 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 one-shot revision piloted last year to improve the quality and timeliness of publications. 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 web, video, virtual reality, and other applications * Next-generation 5G mobile networks * 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 MobiCom welcomes contributions 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. Such submissions should be short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. 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. Two Deadlines and Reviewing Process with One-shot Revision MobiCom’20 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. In the meantime, authors are permitted to talk about these upcoming publications, e.g., listing them on CVs. The publications will also be put on the MobiCom website. * Reject: Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted until 11 months have passed since the last MobiCom deadline they were submitted to. Note that, rejected papers from MobiCom 2018 are welcome for submission to MobiCom 2020 in both the rounds. We strongly encourage the authors to consider the feedback they got before submitting the paper to MobiCom 2020. * 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 be required to articulate a maximum of three changes/clarifications that they would like to see. After the resubmission, the same reviewers will evaluate the paper 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. 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. We expect the one-shot revision to be used only for a small fraction of the papers. Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the MobiCom’20 paper submission website<https://mobicom20.hotcrp.com/>. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with the following requirements. You are strongly discouraged from violating these requirements with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed. You can visually inspect a page-by-page report of your paper format using the same tool as the submission system via a separate online form<https://www.sysnet.ucsd.edu/sigops/banal/index.php>. After the submission deadline, we will use the same tool to check the conformance of papers. The format checking tool uses heuristics and can make mistakes. The PC chairs will manually inspect and possibly reject those papers with evident format violations. However, no paper will be rejected due to format violations without first being checked by hand. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be immediately rejected: * Full papers: Contain no more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed. * Experience/Verification/Challenge Papers: Contain no more than eight (8) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than eight pages will not be reviewed. * Font size no smaller than 10 points. * Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. * Submissions must be in PDF (Portable Document Format) authors should ensure that they are compatible with Adobe Acrobat (English version). Any other formats, including Postscript and MS-Word, will not be accepted. * Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches). * Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any embedded hyperlinks, as these may compromise reviewer anonymity. * Limit the file size to less than 15 MB: contact the PC chairs if you have a file larger than this limit. You may find these LaTeX<https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/files/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> and MS-Word<https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/files/word-acm-10pt-on-12pt-7.0x9.25.doc> templates useful in complying with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper checker) that your submission is format-compliant. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs Bozidar Radunovic and Qian Zhang at mobicom20-pc-chairs __at__ acm.org<http://acm.org>. Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the paper's presentation. We will also have a Best Community Paper Award. Among all accepted papers, the program committee will select one that contributes the most to the broader research community in terms of real data, or new software, hardware or other artefacts. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will be asked to submit a one-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website up to two weeks before the conference, and will be played during the conference. A selected set will be featured by the social media channels related to the conference.

Regards, Michele Workshop Co-Chair **************************************************************************************************** *Call for Papers* Workshop on Smart Building and Internet of Things to be held in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computing, Communication & Security (ICCCS-2019 - http://www.icccs-conf.in/index.html) October 10 - October 12, 2019, Rome, Italy *Important Dates* Submission Deadline 31 July 2019 Notification of Acceptance 23 August 2019 Camera-Ready Paper Submission 6 September 2019 Date of Conference 10-12 October 2019 *Workshop Description:* Internet of Things (IoT) enables network objects of the most diverse types to dynamically cooperate and make their resources available in order to reach a common goal. Such a paradigm is currently revolutionizing a variety of fields, facilitating and improving human life and work. Among them are Smart Buildings, which are characterized by the presence of smart devices, which give the opportunity to monitor and to remotely control key equipment within buildings. In such an intelligent environment, major goals are to improve the comfort and quality of life of people and to provide decision-support tools in order to aid users in making cost-effective decisions when utilizing electrical energy. Smart Buildings integrate autonomy and adaptive control and are considered as the next generation of buildings that must be allocated in Smart Cities. Smart Building links automation, sustainable development, information technology, security, industrial controllers and communications (among other systems) to achieve an optimal level of comfort and energy consumption. As for now, the research on this topic has a sufficient degree of advancement, however several issues still remain open. Indeed, this scenario is lacking people-centric applications, where the presence of intelligent tools can augment the capabilities of the objects in constructing a relationship with the users and exploit the user profile to construct personalized services; moreover, it is important to define methodologies and algorithms to analyze and exploit the context in which the user lives and works. Based on these considerations, the objective of this workshop is to highlight recent research, development, and evaluation of novel systems in Smart Building scenarios. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in this area. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Active and Collaborative Sensing in Smart Building - Behavioural and Energy Consumption Analytics - Implementation of Social IoT for Smart Building - IoT applications, systems, and testbeds for Smart Building - Models of context and context awareness - IoT for Smart Building devices and accessibility - New design paradigms in human-machine interaction for Smart Building - Cloud and mobile cloud architectures supporting Smart Building through IoT - Privacy-preserving data processing techniques - Big data, analytics, and signal processing for Smart Building enabled by an IoT approach - People-centric applications in Smart Building - Algorithms, architectures and platforms for Active and Assisted Living - Safety and Security preservation in Smart Building - Indoor location and guidance applications *Workshop Chairs* Michele Nitti, University of Cagliari, Italy Virginia Pilloni, University of Cagliari, Italy *Submission Guidelines* The submission guidelines valid for the workshop are the same as for the ICCCS conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ACCESS SI - Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) Datum: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 02:01:46 +0000 Von: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: 杨帆 <fan.yang.nau(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG https://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/communication-and-fog-edge-com… Submission Deadline: 30 November 2019 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Communication and Fog/Edge Computing Towards Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs). With rapid economic development, the number of vehicles on the road has grown dramatically, which introduces an array of traffic-related issues, such as traffic congestion and driving safety. Intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) can provide a safer and greener transportation system, which has been envisioned as an effective measure to resolve traffic problems. ICVs are expected to run many emerging smart applications (e.g., autonomous driving, safety early warning, natural language processing, etc.) to assist both the drivers and passengers in vehicular environments. These kinds of applications typically require significant computing power to perform computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks generated by the vehicle sensors for low-latency response. However, the limited computation capacity of the on-board computer makes it difficult to satisfy the computation requirements of quality-of-experience (QoE)-demanding applications. To tackle this challenge, fog/edge computing are proposed as innovative computing paradigms to extend computing capacity to the network edge in order to meet the requirements. Fog/edge computing is expected to not only maximize the computation capability and alleviate the greenhouse effect, but also achieve sustainable operation by pushing rich computing and storage resources to the edge of the network. The limited computation capacity of the on-board computer brings about an unprecedented challenge for the future development of ICVs. Fog/edge computing provides cloud computing capacity in close proximity to vehicles. Vehicles can migrate the computing to the edge of the network via vehicle to everything (V2X) communication. Processing can be completed at road-side unit (RSU) at the side of the network. The advancement of communication technologies and edge computing, such as Fifth-generation (5G), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), mobile edge/fog computing and so on, makes it possible to enhance computational capabilities, ensure near-real-time responses and realize communication requirements with ultra-low latency and ultra-high reliability. The Special Section in IEEE Access aims to provide the latest research findings and solutions, in terms of communication and edge computing for ICVs. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New architecture and framework establishment based on fog/edge computing for ICVs * Advanced vehicular networks technologies, such as 5G vehicular networks, LTE-V and so on * Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications for ICVs * Resource allocation and management based on fog/edge computing for ICVs * Machine learning, deep learning for intelligent management and control * Joint analysis of communication and computing to improve performance in vehicular networks * Cross-layer optimization for fog/edge computing * Mobility modeling and management for ICVs * SDN and NFV technologies for vehicular networks * Security and privacy challenges We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

The key idea is to provide a higher level of automation by combining technologies such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), cloud computing, machine learning (ML) and advanced robotics to enable the creation of interconnected, responsive, intelligent and self-optimizing manufacturing processes and systems. The increased automation can: 1. Significantly enhance "operational efficiency" through real-time process analytics or even end-to-end process control. 2. Significantly enhance "overall productivity" by realizing zero-downtime through proactive maintenance via the implementation of ‘digital twins'. Implementation of either real-time process analytics or digital twining is geared to generate a huge volume of heterogeneous data flows. Consequently, the design of communication interfaces to support inter-connectivity must be optimized to enable convergence between legacy operations technology (OT) and next-generation IIoT. This special issue solicits original research papers focused on Design and Analysis of: 1. Ultra-reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Interfaces for IIoT Networks 2. Spectrum Management and Coexistence Issues for IIoT Networks 3. Architecture and Protocols for IIoT Networks 4. Novel ML methods for implementing Self-X capabilities in IIoT Networks 5. Resource Allocation and Management for IIoT Networks 6. Security, Privacy and Trust issues in IIoT deployments 7. Interoperability and Convergence Issues for legacy OT and IIoT Networks 8.

October 22-25, 2019* *Call for Papers:* Precision agriculture is becoming as one of the most important tool to satisfy the ever-increasing worldwide demand for food products of good quality. Agriculture needs to be enhanced by new technologies in order to make it sustainable in a smart way. In the last few years, several Internet of Things (IoT)-based products dedicated to farming have appeared, but there are still some remaining issues, ranging from data acquisition, interpretation, and reliable collection in some potentially harsh radio environments. The last few decades have witnessed the advancement of the IoT and multiple wireless sensor networks (WSNs), in both the academic and industrial worlds The use of IoT platform and Remote Sensing Data (RSD) to schedule irrigation and fertilization and predict yield may contribute to a more sustainable agriculture in regions of the Mediterranean where irrigation and fertilization are not optimized in terms of timing and quantity. IoT platforms allow a network of devices to communicate, gather data and process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or processes. Technologies can help farmers to practice a more sustainable agriculture, minimizing risks of losing the harvest by providing the resources (water irrigation and fertilizer) needed to secure yield and at the adequate periods. In addition, prediction of grain yield via RSD has additional applications. Remote Sensing Data may help to yield forecasts before harvest and therefore to predict farmers income. Furthermore, the use of software programs is indispensable for the interpretation of the data derived from the Remote Sensing Technologies and then to make decisions of applications in crop fields. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on on high quality, up-to-date innovative original current advances in solutions and research for smart and sustainable agriculture, ranging from IoT, WSN, efficient sensing, cloud/edge computing, smart actuators, etc. *Topics of interest * ============== Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: · Sensor network deployment for smart agriculture · Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture · Farm services and oriented applications for agri-food systems · Cost-effective sensor development for agriculture · Cloud computing for agriculture · Smart applications for crops monitoring and management · Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for agriculture · Sensors for positioning, navigation, and obstacle detection · New Technologies in Field: A Rapid and Usefulness Tool for Accurate Management of Crops · Remote Sensing Data and Water Irrigation Scheduling · Remote Sensing Data and Fertilization Planning: Adequate Time and Localisation · Use of Remote Sensing Technologies for a Rapid Diseases Localisation in Fields · Remote Sensing Technologies and Plant Breeding (Phenotyping to Water Deficit): Selection of varieties (Tolerant/Susceptible) · Remote Sensing Data and its Influences in Farmers Decisions) · Software and Programs Used in Processing Remote Sensing Data · Statistics Tools: Interpretation of Information Derived from Remote Sensing Data for Making Decision *Paper Submission : * ============= Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience.

Juli 2019 17:19:21 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 2nd Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) ====================================================== DFSD 2019 The 2nd Int. Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) Co-located with 20th Int. ACM/IFIP Middleware Conference (MIDDLEWARE 2019) December 9-13 2019, UC Davis, CA http://www.dilute.no/dfsd CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================================================== Smart spaces, such as smart cities and smart buildings, are proliferating into a massive scale, thereby, Internet of Things (IoT) data, services and applications are being pressed to move to the Cloud. IoT Cloud integration can enable ubiquitous cyber-physical services and powerful processing of IoT data beyond the capability of individual things. This has been recently extended from the core of the network to the edge of the network (i.e., Fog Computing) to address better mobility support, locationawareness and low latency. Therefore, IoT applications will be further distributed throughout the network, including routers and dedicated computing nodes. With this new trend in sight, developing applications using cloud and fog computing resources introduces many challenges with respect to programing, networking, and service abstraction and distribution. In particular, in large-scale IoT applications with massive number of services, the way to model, develop and distributed services at device-, fog-, and cloud-levels is a top priority design challenge in this area. This workshop aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in distributed computing aspects of fog platforms, including middleware-related design concerns. The goal is to present and explore novel approaches and recent results of the research community and the industry bodies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Fog computing distributed architectures and frameworks - Fog-level task and service modeling and distribution - Large-scale deployments and Fog - Distributed resource management models for Fog - Machine learning for Fog mobility and resource allocation - Cloud and Fog integration - Middleware for Fog infrastructures - Programming models and abstractions for Fog - Dynamic programming models for Fog - Fog mobility - Performance (low latency and scalability) - Heterogeneity and Interoperability of Fog devices *Organizers* Amir Taherkordi, University of Oslo, Norway Schahram Dustdar, TU Wien, Austria *Important Dates* Paper submissions: Aug. 23, 2019 Notification:Sep. 30, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Social Internet of Things, Social Internet of Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

Papadopoulos <georgios.papadopoulos(a)IMT-ATLANTIQUE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on Industrial Internet of Things Internet Technology Letters Call for Papers More than one decade ago emerged the Internet of Things (IoT), setting the basis for innovative applications for our everyday life. We have now a large variety of both wired (e.g. IEEE802.1TSN, IEEE802.1Qbu, IEEE802.1Qbv, Detnet) and wireless (e.g. IEEE802.15.4, 6TiSCH, WirelessHART, Z-Wave, WiSUN, WirelessMBUS, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 RTA, LoRa, ETSI LTN, mmWave) technologies to connect more and more smart and uniquely identifiable objects. After providing best-effort connectivity, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires a network infrastructure which supports real-time communications. Most critical applications require high-reliability, and an upper-bounded end-to-end latency has to be respected. The Industrial Internet of Things is expected to support many critical applications. Industry 4.0 will rely on wireless and wired infrastructure to interconnect all the actuators, sensors and controllers, even for the control loops. To a greater extent, IIoT is particularly relevant also for e.g. robot control loops, reliable industrial monitoring, critical operation/actuation, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Resilient Systems, Dependable networking, Automated Diagnostics and Predictions; Quality of Service, Quality of Experience, Service Level Agreements; Implementation details and benchmarking of Industrial IoT protocols; Efficient communication protocols for industrial IoT; 5G: architecture, medium access, virtualization; Performance Bounds, Soft/Hard Real-time, Formal Methods; Security: privacy, policy management, IDS; OS and Middleware, industrial cloud; Real-world deployments, Lessons Learnt; Standards-based solutions, Interoperability and Integration; Seamless wired and wireless real-time infrastructure; Handling mobility in industrial networks; Interconnection of legacy and novel network technologies; Applications: reliable monitoring, low latency control, automation, robotics, etc. Manuscript Due Dec 15, 2019 First Round of Reviews March 15, 2020 Revised Paper due May 15, 2020 Final notification July 15, 2020 Guest Editors Georgios Z.

The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions August 31, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Internet of Social Things, Internet of Social Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- 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: Mon, 1 Jul 2019 21:28:21 -0400 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/3a8387_f232b36e50c449aa9f05797a278990c4.pdf Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019 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 goal! s 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.

The new deadline is 15th July 2019. Regards, Virginia Workshop Co-Chair **************************************************************************************************** *Call for Papers* Workshop on Smart Building and Internet of Things to be held in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Computing, Communication & Security (ICCCS-2019 - http://www.icccs-conf.in/index.html) October 10 - October 12, 2019, Rome, Italy *Important Dates* Submission Deadline 15 July 2019 Notification of Acceptance 31 July 2019 Camera-Ready Paper Submission 20 August 2019 Date of Conference 10-12 October 2019 *Workshop Description:* Internet of Things (IoT) enables network objects of the most diverse types to dynamically cooperate and make their resources available in order to reach a common goal. Such a paradigm is currently revolutionizing a variety of fields, facilitating and improving human life and work. Among them are Smart Buildings, which are characterized by the presence of smart devices, which give the opportunity to monitor and to remotely control key equipment within buildings. In such an intelligent environment, major goals are to improve the comfort and quality of life of people and to provide decision-support tools in order to aid users in making cost-effective decisions when utilizing electrical energy. Smart Buildings integrate autonomy and adaptive control and are considered as the next generation of buildings that must be allocated in Smart Cities. Smart Building links automation, sustainable development, information technology, security, industrial controllers and communications (among other systems) to achieve an optimal level of comfort and energy consumption. As for now, the research on this topic has a sufficient degree of advancement, however several issues still remain open. Indeed, this scenario is lacking people-centric applications, where the presence of intelligent tools can augment the capabilities of the objects in constructing a relationship with the users and exploit the user profile to construct personalized services; moreover, it is important to define methodologies and algorithms to analyze and exploit the context in which the user lives and works. Based on these considerations, the objective of this workshop is to highlight recent research, development, and evaluation of novel systems in Smart Building scenarios. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in this area. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Active and Collaborative Sensing in Smart Building - Behavioural and Energy Consumption Analytics - Implementation of Social IoT for Smart Building - IoT applications, systems, and testbeds for Smart Building - Models of context and context awareness - IoT for Smart Building devices and accessibility - New design paradigms in human-machine interaction for Smart Building - Cloud and mobile cloud architectures supporting Smart Building through IoT - Privacy-preserving data processing techniques - Big data, analytics, and signal processing for Smart Building enabled by an IoT approach - People-centric applications in Smart Building - Algorithms, architectures and platforms for Active and Assisted Living - Safety and Security preservation in Smart Building - Indoor location and guidance applications *Workshop Chairs* Michele Nitti, University of Cagliari, Italy Virginia Pilloni, University of Cagliari, Italy *Submission Guidelines* The submission guidelines valid for the workshop are the same as for the ICCCS conference.
