-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [IWVSC 2019] (Deadline July 15) Call For Papers - Third International Workshop on Vehicular Adhoc Networks for Smart Cities (Paris) Datum: Fri, 28 Jun 2019 15:13:38 +0200 Von: Anis Laouiti <anis.laouiti(a)TELECOM-SUDPARIS.EU> Antwort an: Anis Laouiti <anis.laouiti(a)TELECOM-SUDPARIS.EU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call For Papers - Third International Workshop on Vehicular Adhoc Networks for Smart Cities [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] http://www-lor.int-evry.fr/~laouiti/iwvsc2019/index.html Third International Workshop on Vehicular Adhoc Networks for Smart Cities -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in Paris, France, November 13, 2019. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- After the successful edition of the first and the second IWVSC respectively in 2014 and 2016, the third edition wil be held in Paris, France. 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.

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. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Extended Submission] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0" Datum: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 10:27:01 +0200 Von: Guest Editor <si.journal.ge(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Guest Editor <si.journal.ge(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0 URL: http://www.ieee-ies.org/images/files/tii/ss/2019/Security_and_Privacy_in_In… ================================================================================ 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 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 .

This has originated a progressive shift towards Fog and Smart-Edge nodes, mediating between the cloud and the end devices. The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is a decentralized model that transfers (part of) computing-intensive tasks from the cloud to intermediate (fog) nodes or to edge nodes. It typically leverages the computational capabilities of virtually any networked device, including resources such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and sensors. Within the context of cellular networks, The Edge Computing approach has led to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), enabling operators to run applications and perform related processing tasks closer to the cellular customer, reducing network congestion while improving latency and application performance. Such a vision is further boosted by the advent of 5G technologies, and the relative softwarization and virtualization of the main functionalities within the cellular network. Many research issues are currently open in MEC. At the same time, MEC is paving the way to many disruptive and novel application and business models, unforeseen previously, by boosting the visionary concepts of smart cities and factories. This workshop aims at collecting contributions highlighting challenges, state-of-the-art, and solutions to a set of currently open issues in MEC, including - but not limited to - performance, modelling, optimization, energy-efficiency, reliability, security, privacy and techno-economic aspects of Edge Computing. Through addressing these concerns while understanding their impacts and limitations, technological advancements will be channeled toward more sustainable/efficient platforms for tomorrow's ever-connected systems and industrial applications. This workshop will welcome two kinds of contributions: * Research papers on innovative ideas, applications and solutions within the context of Mobile Edge Computing, which identify challenges, report experiences, and discuss progress towards design, solutions for MEC; * Position papers, describing revolutionary and visionary concepts related to Mobile Edge Computing and its applications, which identify vision/ideas of MEC where novel technologies taken from 5G, or even 6G, blockchain, virtualization are applied. This workshop aims at bringing together leading researchers from both academia and industry, providing an opportunity for them to share their vision on Mobile Edge Computing and novel disruptive ideas, with the potential of opening up novel research directions and/or applications. The goal is to solicit new ideas, insights and inspiration for the current research on Mobile Edge/Fog Computing.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can play an important role in smart agriculture by collecting environmental data. Their ability to carry different type of payloads such as sensors, high definition cameras, antennas, or even sprayers make it a great ally for agriculturalists. In large-scale applications, e.g., wide area farms, forests or even sea farms, a cluster or a network of UAVs is adopted by opening new paths of research and development in a field which is called Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET). FANETs incorporate UAVs and Internet of Things (IoT) as communicating entities for realizing more demanding and large-scale applications. There is no doubt that with the proper collaboration and coordination of multiple UAVs, in a form of FANET, the emerged system would exceed by far the capabilities of a single UAV system. Single UAV systems usually utilize heavier, larger and more expensive UAVs which in case of a fall could pose great danger to human life and property. Using a single UAV, the amount of coverage is limited, while with multi-UAVs the scalability of the operation can be easily extended. Moreover, a failure in singe UAV system means that the whole mission has failed, on the contrary, multiple UAVs can share tasks among themselves, thus the fault tolerant of the system increases significantly. Since the number of applications a single UAV can serve are proportionate to the systems that are installed on its board, it is quite clear that FANETs can server different application in parallel thus reducing significantly the execution time of a mission. It is quite obvious that FANETs can enhance smart farming management process significantly. Prerequisite for their deployment is a network that will guarantee the proper communication between UAVs in order to ensure their efficient collaboration and coordination. FANETs take on the communication among UAV nodes as well as the rest of the nodes (ground sensors, base stations and gateways). Although there are various advantages of FANETs, when compared to single-UAV systems, several challenges are emerged when implementing FANETs in smart farming systems such as the efficient communication and the coordination among the various flying UAVs and among the UAVs and the ground sensors, base stations and gateways. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of FANET in conjunction with smart farming and smart agriculture applications and systems. In the context of this special issue, we intend to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the FANET applications and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the IoT-enabled agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. =Topics= - Real deployments and case studies of FANETs in smart farming. - Regulations and recommendations for FANETs in smart farming applications. - Management of heterogeneous UAVs in FANETs. - Crop models and decision support systems in FANETSs. - Routing models and protocols of FANETs in smart agriculture. - Quality of Service (QoS) in FANET applications. - FANETs-based edge and Fog computing in smart farming. - Coordination of multiple UAVs in smart farming applications and systems. - Communication methods and protocols of FANET UAVs in agricultural domain. - Human-FANETs interaction for smart farming. - Farmers' acceptance and intention to use FANETs. - Big data in agricultural domain using UAVs. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Energy efficiency and management of FANETs in smart farming. - FANET-driven frameworks towards improving the resilience of farming systems. - FANET application in mixed farming systems. - Embedding sensors and actuators on UAVs for smart farming. - UAVs in precise farming in combination with the related climate change mitigation potential. - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in decision-making frameworks for FANETs. - Modern Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques in agriculture for FANETs. - Security issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Privacy issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Schemes and algorithms that enable the participative design of mixed farming and agroforestry systems through UAVs or/and FANETs. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - FANET applications to increase synergies between crops and livestock. - Smart bandwidth utilization by FANETs in smart farming. - Models and tools adapted to real farm management to grasp the inherent complexity of mixed farming and agroforestry systems using UAVs. *Guest Editors* Panagiotis Sarigiannidis University of Western Macedonia, Greece Email: psarigiannidis(a)uowm.gr Anastasios A.

However, the state of the art in Smart Farming should be redefined and revisited since new technologies and tools are coming in the agriculture domain bringing novel and innovative paths for improving the resilience and the efficiency of agriculture. Smart Farming has started to be materialized and not being simply a vague futuristic concept, as different fields such as image processing and machine learning have found a prosperous area of application. Apart from the technical aspects that Smart Farming presents, it also affects the agricultural sector beyond the conventional farming activities, influencing a series of dependent industries, such as food supply chains, weather and climate change, natural resources management and environmental impact. New and various technologies have invaded the agricultural sector as they can offer new and unprecedented opportunities. Smart Farming uses a combination of technological advances, such as sensors, drones, variable-rate application machinery, satellite navigation and positioning technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. All the aforementioned technologies produce a massive amount of data capable of changing the current status of the agriculture sector, but a series of effective actions have to be developed and established for their efficient exploitation. The Big Data era has arrived for the agriculture sector reflecting its changes to a numerous of research fields. The incorporation and the usage of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the agriculture sector takes place for at least a decade as well as the adoption of sensors for monitoring reasons. Furthermore, driven by advanced GIS technologies, emerging image processing techniques adopt neural networks and deep learning approaches for providing new areas of application in the field of computer vision. Tasks such as crop identification and weed discrimination have become easier than ever thanks to the state-of-the-art classification algorithms. Apart from the advantages image processing techniques offer in the field of agriculture, other related areas have significantly benefited as well. Land mapping, insurance of animal feed quality, weather and climate change studies, grassland identification and earth observation are some of the areas where image processing techniques and al gorithms have been successfully applied. The farm industry and Smart Farming expand from the strict limits of the farm location and affect a series of related fields, such as supply chain management, food availability, biodiversity, farmers’ decision making and insurance, environmental studies and various Earth sciences among others. All of the aforementioned fields have significant benefits when they follow a data-driven approach under the condition that the used systems, tools and techniques that will be used have been designed to handle the volume and foremost the variety of the data. Often, smart farming systems are running on unmonitored areas, due to which any attempted or successful breaches go unreported. Worse, since this sector is traditionally not cybersecurity aware, security and privacy by design is not incorporated into the solution requirements. For example, security attacks are feasible by gaining access to irrigation control systems of either a plant or a farm. In the most cases, IoT devices and systems can be manipulated and personal data can be disclosed without the farmer knowing. Even worse, adversaries can gain access to other connected third-party systems, e.g., energy, administration and irrigation systems. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of agriculture in the era of Big Data. We therefore aim to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the application and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the Big Data-driven agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. =Systems= - Cloud- and edge-based systems in smart farming. - Management of heterogeneous Big Data in smart farming. - Crop models and decision support systems in smart farming. - Study of man–machine dialogue systems. - Data-driven methods for anomaly detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. - Role of Big Data in sustainable agriculture. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture. - Environmental Big Data integration. - Smart Farming and its application in Big Data processing. - Big data in agricultural disaster management. - Cyber threats and anomaly detection in smart farming. - Data privacy preserving systems in smart farming. - Deep packet inspection in security systems for Smart Farming applications. =Tools= - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture. - Emerging tools for precision agriculture. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in Smart Farming tools. - Big data online stream processing for precision agriculture and Smart Farming - Machine learning applications in improving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Smart Farming. - Statistical analysis and modeling in Smart Farming applications. - Geospatial analysis in Smart Farming applications. - Advanced image processing techniques and applications in the agricultural domain. - Spectral matching tools in Smart Farming. - Intrusion detection tools. - Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools for smart farming monitoring. =Techniques= - Modern GIS and remote sensing techniques in agriculture. - Classification and change detection of cultivated land. - Data mining and statistical issues in precision agriculture. - Intelligent computational techniques in precision agriculture. - Knowledge discovery in agriculture databases. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture. - Network-based analysis in Smart Farming. - Trust-enabling techniques and methods. - Blockchain techniques for ensuring trust amongst IoT devices in Smart Farming. - Network forensics techniques for Smart Farming applications. *Guest Editors* Panagiotis Sarigiannidis University of Western Macedonia, Greece Email: psarigiannidis(a)uowm.gr Thomas Lagkas The University of Sheffield International Faculty - CITY College, Greece Email: t.lagkas(a)sheffield.ac.uk Konstantinos Rantos Technological Educational Institute of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece Email: krantos(a)teiemt.gr Paolo Bellavista University of Bologna, Italy Email: paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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 June 30, 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 .

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. CHANTS builds on the success of the thirteen previous CHANTS workshops and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing ● Modeling and analysis of challenged networks and protocols for challenged networks ● Communication systems and networks for underground mining ● Underwater communication systems and networks ● Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks ● Networking in polar regions ● Millimeter Wave Networking ● Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing and mobile data offloading ● Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing ● Challenged networking in the Internet of Things and in Cyber-Physical Systems ● Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks ● User behavior modeling and Quality of Service provisioning in challenged networks ● Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks ● Information-centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks ● Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments ● Network coding in challenged networks ● Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use ● Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks ● Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) ● User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks ● Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems Program Committee Chairs Suzan Bayhan (TU Berlin, Germany) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Workshop Web Chair Estefanía Coronado (FBK CREATE-NET, Italy) Publicity Chair Gürkan Gür (ZHAW, Switzerland) Jim Plusquellic (University of New Mexico, USA) Steering Board Kevin Almeroth (UC Santa Barbara, USA) Kevin Fall (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Stephen Farrell (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Jörg Ott (TU München, Germany) Andrea Passarella (IIT-CNR, Italy) Important Dates Abstract Registration: June 28, 2019 Submission Deadline: June 28, 2019 Acceptance Notification: July 31st, 2019 Camera-ready: August 12th, 2019 Workshop: October 25th, 2019 Paper Format and Submission Instructions General Paper Format Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

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 MOTIVATION AND SCOPE: 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE Internet of Things Journal - Special Issue on Emerging Trends and Challenges in Fog Computing for IoT, Submissions Deadline: August 1, 2019 Datum: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:30:26 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Call for papers IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Emerging Trends and Challenges in Fog Computing for IoT http://ieee-iotj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/SpecialIssueonEmergingTrend… SCOPE: Fog and Edge Computing paradigm is regarded as capable of satisfying the resource requirements for the emerging mobile applications such as virtual and augmented reality, vehicular networks, and IoT applications. Such implementations will exploit further the capabilities of Mobile Edge Comping (MEC), wireless virtualization, and Software Defined Systems or Networks (SDNs) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) among others. Due to the non-linearity of the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) model, the resource manipulation with the solution provided within the context of SDN for MEC devices should be solved concurrently so that the associated performance can be assessed and evaluated. The inclusion of MEC, SDN, and NFV and its possible support for 5G systems are emerging as one of the highly active research areas with a large room for improvements. In addition, one important aspect of great importance is the continuously increasing processing, caching and storage capabilities required by emerging applications such as IoT and virtual reality. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities an excellent venue covering all aspects of current work on Fog Computing, Edge Computing and with the long-term architecture that will encompass the differently supported middleware(s). Topics of interest include (but not limited to): - Content and service distribution models for fog computing - Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing - Energy-aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing - Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing - Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing - Fog and MEC security and related considerations - Real-time communication interfaces and protocols - Fog-enabled data services - Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures (i.e., for storage, etc.) - Fog computing as an enabler for 5G - Intelligence in fog computing for IoT - IoT and fog computing convergence mechanisms Important dates: Submissions Deadline: August 1, 2019 First Reviews Due: October 15, 2019 Revision Due: November 15, 2019 Second Reviews Due/Notification: December 15, 2019 Final Manuscript Due: January 15, 2020 Publication Date: 2020 Submission Guidelines: Authors need to follow the manuscript format and allowable number of pages described at: http://ieee-iotj.org/guidelines-for-authors/.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. CHANTS builds on the success of the thirteen previous CHANTS workshops and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ● Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing ● Modeling and analysis of challenged networks and protocols for challenged networks ● Communication systems and networks for underground mining ● Underwater communication systems and networks ● Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks ● Networking in polar regions ● Millimeter Wave Networking ● Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing and mobile data offloading ● Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing ● Challenged networking in the Internet of Things and in Cyber-Physical Systems ● Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks ● User behavior modeling and Quality of Service provisioning in challenged networks ● Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks ● Information-centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks ● Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments ● Network coding in challenged networks ● Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use ● Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks ● Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) ● User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks ● Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems Program Committee Chairs Suzan Bayhan (TU Berlin, Germany) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Workshop Web Chair Estefanía Coronado (FBK CREATE-NET, Italy) Publicity Chair Gürkan Gür (ZHAW, Switzerland) Jim Plusquellic (University of New Mexico, USA) Steering Board Kevin Almeroth (UC Santa Barbara, USA) Kevin Fall (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Stephen Farrell (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Jörg Ott (TU München, Germany) Andrea Passarella (IIT-CNR, Italy) Important Dates Abstract Registration: June 14th, 2019 Submission Deadline: June 21th, 2019 Acceptance Notification: July 31st, 2019 Camera-ready: August 12th, 2019 Workshop: October 25th, 2019 Paper Format and Submission Instructions General Paper Format Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

Link: http://jolfaei.info/IEEE-IoT-J.html Overview: Recent advances in artificial intelligence, edge computing, and big data, have enabled extensive reasoning capabilities at the edge of the network. Edge servers are now capable of extracting meaningful analytics from IoT nodes, which give insights about unprecedented changes of data-driven economy that finds applications in diverse sectors ranging from smart manufacturing and smart transportation to predictive maintenance and precision healthcare. Despite this ongoing advancement, there are growing concerns regarding the privacy of data providers when they grant edge applications direct access to their embedded sensors. Data mining on genuine data could be harmful to data privacy. For example, data mining on time-series data taken from motion sensors, microphones, and GPS sensors could reveal users' activities, demographics, attributes and daily interactions. This could potentially lead to security/privacy concerns in many participatory and opportunistic crowd-sensing applications, where a large group of individuals having mobile devices capable of sensing and computing collectively share data and extract information to measure, map, analyze, estimate or infer any processes of common interest. While privacy preserving has not been the initial focus of traditional data analytics on edge servers, when used in domains such as cyber security, there are incentivized, malicious adversaries present in the system willing to game and exploit edge processing vulnerabilities. This special issue focuses on solutions that leverage techniques and insights from the domains of artificial intelligence, edge computing, and big data to resolve privacy and security challenges in distributed edge computing and evolving IoT applications. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to • Optimization of the utility-privacy tradeoffs • Privacy-preserving data aggregation • Privacy-preserving data mining • Privacy protection in edge computing assisted with evolving IoT • Privacy-preserving solutions for crowdsensing • Privacy preserving in presence of advanced persistent threats • Privacy-enhancing cryptographic techniques • Multiparty access control in edge computing assisted with evolving IoT • Middleware for privacy protection in IoT applications • Future perspectives of privacy issues in IoT applications Important Dates: Submissions Deadline: July 1, 2019 First Reviews Due: September 15, 2019 Revision Due: October 15, 2019 Second Reviews Due/Notification: November 15, 2019 Final Manuscript Due: December 15, 2019 Publication Date: 2020 Submission: All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Syed Ali Zaidi <s.alirzaidi(a)gmail.com> Gesendet: 10. Juni 2019 13:16:03 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] JSAC Special Issue on Industrial Internet-of-Things Special Issue IEEE JSAC issue on Design and Analysis of Communication Interfaces for Industry 4 Call for Papers The fourth industrial revolution also referred to as Industry 4.0 aims to integrate advanced manufacturing techniques with the Internet-of-Things (IoT) to create an agile digital manufacturing ecosystem. 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: Significantly enhance operational efficiency through real-time process analytics or even end-to-end process control. 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: Ultra-reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Interfaces for IIoT Networks Spectrum Management and Coexistence Issues for IIoT Networks Architecture and Protocols for IIoT Networks Novel ML methods for implementing Self-X capabilities in IIoT Networks Resource Allocation and Management for IIoT Networks Security, Privacy and Trust issues in IIoT deployments Interoperability and Convergence Issues for legacy OT and IIoT Networks Application and Deployment Specific Issues for IIoT Networks Submission Guidelines All submissions have to be prepared according to the Information for Authors as published in the Journal website and must be submitted via EDAS. Important Dates Manuscript Due: 1 July 2019 Acceptance Notification: 30 September 2019 Final Manuscript Due: 15 November 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: First/Second Quarter 2020 Guest Editors Syed A.

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, content modelling, energy consumption modelling etc.; · Novel transmission technologies for learning-based applications at the network edge; · Scheduling schemes for efficient training, inference for edge learning/ edge AI; · Timely data acquisition mechanisms to support delay sensitive edge processing; · Coded computing for edge intelligence; · Enabling technologies: e.g., SDN, NFV, CRAN, D2D, cloud/fog computing and networking, etc.; · Emerging applications via edge intelligence: vehicular networking, massive IoT, smart grid, healthcare, intelligent manufactory, 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, the way to exploit the mobility for more computing and caching opportunities; · 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: June 30, 2019 Paper Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2019 Camera-Ready: September 15, 2019 Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit original papers according to the IEEE Globecom guideline .

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 30 June 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.

In the meantime, the network infrastructure is in the process of transforming from a hardware-dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined system with storage and computation being offloaded to the edge/fog to reduce network traffic and latency, promote service elasticity and resource sharing, and alleviating the processing load on resource constrained devices. In a parallel effort, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm has been proposed, providing an alternative to traditional host-centric IP architecture. The recent discussions in the Future Internet Architecture community debated ICN as a perfect candidate for provider-agnostic distributed computation such as fog and edge computing. In ICN, computation can be executed remotely by any node in the network which supports the required compute capabilities which makes the client and the network agnostic of the list of providers and their corresponding IP mapping. The intersection of edge/fog computing and ICN, although compelling, poses new concerns including efficient offloading, security and privacy risks, service orchestration and sharing, and its economical dynamics in multi-stakeholder environments. Given the nascency of the information-centric edge computing domain, further exploration of this integration is imperative; in particular the opportunities and challenges resulting from the need to support massive amounts of shared contents and processing, software defined architectures, virtualized network functions, and the emerging distributed technologies. The IEEE ICEC workshop 2019 has the integration of edge/fog computing and ICN as the central theme, with focus on security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns, service and infrastructure virtualization, data and computation offloading, and economical aspects of resource. The ICEC workshop aims to serve as a place for the meeting of minds from the ICN, NFV, and SDN communities to explore effective integration. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussions. The workshop invites submissions of unpublished work on the following topics (but not limited to): · Architectures and protocols for edge/fog computing in future Internet architectures · Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing in ICN · Computation offloading in the future Internet · Reliability and availability in information-centric mobile edge networks · Trust management, security, and privacy in edge computing enabled ICN · Accounting, access control, and integration of novel technologies, such as distributed ledger technology · Security vulnerability assessment and novel attack vectors of edge computing in ICN · Edge applications in challenged information-centric networks (e.g., disaster scenarios) · Integration of software defined networking in information-centric networking edge · Network function virtualization in an edge-enabled Internet architecture · Service function chaining and orchestration in multi-access edge computing · Optimizing edge infrastructures with SDN and NFV including hardware acceleration technologies · Advanced tools for automated design, deployment, validation and management of edge computing · Edge performance improvement, interoperability, and scalability studies · Improvements in future communication infrastructure enabled by SDN and NFV including 5G, public, private and hybrid edge clouds · Network slicing with mobile edge computing · Industrial Internet-of-things and edge computing · Economic landscape of edge/fog computing in a multi-stakeholder environment · Pricing and billing in multi-tenant edge computing Important dates Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2019 (11:59 PM, EST) Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2019 Camera-ready version: September 15, 2019 Workshop day: December 13, 2019 Submission Technical papers will be presented in the full-day workshop.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: CHANTS 2019 – 14th Workshop on Challenged Networks – co-located with ACM Mobicom 2019 - submission deadline June 14, 2019 - Los Cabos, Mexico Datum: Fri, 31 May 2019 17:13:17 +0000 Von: Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou <eirini(a)UNM.EDU> Antwort an: Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou <eirini(a)UNM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2019) http://conferences.ece.unm.edu/chants2019/ colocated with ACM Mobicom 2019, the 25th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Oct 21-25, Los Cabos, Mexico Scope and Overview Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. CHANTS builds on the success of the thirteen previous CHANTS workshops and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Ubicomp 2019 CPD Workshop CfP] Combining Physical and Data-Driven Knowledge in Ubiquitous Computing Datum: Thu, 30 May 2019 09:31:37 -0400 Von: xinlei.chen(a)sv.cmu.edu An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Lars Wolf, [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] We would like to sincerely invite you to submit paper to our workshop. ================================================================= CPD 2019: The Second Workshop on Combining Physical and Data-Driven Knowledge in Ubiquitous Computing ******Part of Ubicomp 2019****** Sept 9 and 10, 2019 London, UK Website: https://ubicomp-cpd.com/ ================================================================= Many real-world ubiquitous computing systems make use of data-driven algorithms that require a significant amount of data to obtain good performance. System performance of these pure, data-driven systems largely depends on the quantity and quality of the data they use. Under ideal conditions – representative, large, balanced and labeled data – pure data-driven methods perform very well. However, in real-world systems, collecting data can be costly or impossible due to practical limitations. Physical knowledge (strong priors), can help alleviate issues that emerge when good data is limited. This includes 1) domain knowledge from experts, 2) experience-driven heuristics, and 3) analytic models of physical phenomena. With physical knowledge, we can infer target information more accurately compared to purely data-driven models. These priors can also improve performance and robustness when limited labeled data is available. In recent years, researchers have combined physical knowledge with traditional, data-driven approaches to improve model accuracy and system performance. We aim to attract researchers that are exploring fundamental questions about the integration of physical knowledge and data in real-world systems and deployments. We also aim to identify solutions and methodologies that generalize across various application domains. ******Topics of interests****** - Innovations in learning algorithms that combine physical knowledge or models for sensor perception and understanding - Experiences, challenges, analysis, and comparisons of sensor data in terms of its physical properties - Sensor data processing to improve learning accuracy - Machine learning and deep learning with physical knowledge on sensor data - Mobile and pervasive systems that utilize physical knowledge to enhance data acquisition - System services such as time and location estimation enhanced by additional physical knowledge - Heterogeneous collaborative sensing based on physical rules The application areas include but not limited to: - Human-centric sensing applications - Environmental and structural monitoring - Smart cities and urban health - Health, wellness & medical Successful submissions will explain why the topic is relevant to the data limitation caused problem that may be solved through the physical understanding of domain knowledge. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of their own. Ethical approval for experiments with human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission. ******Important Dates****** Submission deadline: June 23, 2019, submit HERE <https://ubicomp-cpd19.hotcrp.com/> Notifications: July 1, 2019. Camera-ready: July 8, 2019. Workshop: Sept 9 and 10, 2019. ******Submission Guidelines****** Please submit short papers that are at most *8 pages* in the ACM *SIGCHI Extended Abstract* format.
