-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Valeria Loscri <valeria.loscri(a)INRIA.FR> Gesendet: 18. März 2019 13:56:44 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Cfp 1st workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST-IoT) @ACM MobiHoc 2019 [Our apologizes for multiple copies of this cfp] ****************************************************************************************************** 1st Workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST-IoT) in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2019 2 – 5 July 2019, Catania (Italy) http://www.grc.upv.es/persist-iot2019/ <http://www.grc.upv.es/persist-iot2019/> ****************************************************************************************************** Call for Papers Leveraging on the global interconnection of billions of tiny smart objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is fostering the idea of Pervasive Smart Systems (PSSs), where all the data gathered by different “things” can be analyzed and used to improve the livability, the safety and the security of the environment, and to make IoT user lives easier. However, despite the research advancements in recent years, many open issues still prevent the full realization of such vision. To meet the requirements of PSSs, telecommunication systems should deliver significantly high data rates, traffic capacity, connection density, energy efficiency, as well as small latencies. Being massively distributed into the environment, smart things may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the cloud or at the network edge. In addition to the traditional pull-based data delivery, push-based and publish/subscribe traffic patterns must be supported. To accommodate newly emerging services, the network infrastructure should be agile, cost effective and possibly softwarized. Finally, meeting security and privacy requirements will play a fundamental role in the PSSs; indeed, without effective mechanisms, attacks and malfunctions in the IoT will outweigh any of their benefits. The PERSIST-IoT workshop aims to solicit a collection of innovative papers reporting the most recent advancements in the fields of smart network architecture, protocols and practical implementations enabling IoT for smart systems applications. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following: Topics of interests could be: * Models of network component interactions for IoT systems; * Distributed sensing and control in pervasive systems; * Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for pervasive systems; * Mobile edge computing for smart environments; * Crowdsourcing in smart environments; * Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC communication; * Novel networking paradigms (e.g., ICN, SDN) for IoT; * Energy efficient solutions for IoT; * Reliability, security, privacy and trust in pervasive systems; * Business models to promote user collaboration and resource sharing in pervasive systems; * Interaction of human-IoT for pervasive systems * Social networking in IoT architecture and middleware; * Social IoT models, e.g., co-location, co-work, ownership, and etc. * Cyber-physical-social security for pervasive systems * Social-based routing protocols and architectures for pervasive systems * Testbeds, applications, business, standards, and social issues Important Dates: Abstract Registration: April 1, 2019 Submission deadline: April 7, 2019 Notification of acceptance: May 5, 2019 Camera Ready: May 12, 2019 Program: May 31, 2018 Authors information: Papers should be submitted via the HotCRP submission website.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP JSAC Special Issue on "Millimeter-wave Networking"

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP JSAC Special Issue on "Millimeter-wave Networking" Datum: Sat, 16 Mar 2019 15:47:27 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, Please accept our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *Call For Papers* Special Issue on Millimeter-wave Networking IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-jsac/cfp/millimeter-wave-… *Important Dates* Manuscript Due: April 30, 2019 First revision notification: June 30, 2019 Acceptance notification: August 31, 2019 Final manuscript due: September 30, 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: Fourth Quarter 2019 *Scope and Motivation* The increasing density of wireless devices, ever-growing demands for extremely high-data rates, and the spectrum scarcity at the sub-6 GHz bands are making the use of spectrum-rich millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies among the most important components of future wireless networks. The major commercial potential of mmWave networks has led to mmWave being considered as a key element of 5G-and-beyond mobile cellular networks, as well as for emerging Gbps-speed Wi-Fi networks based on the IEEE 802.11ad and draft IEEE 802.11ay standards. Despite this intense interest in mmWave from both the research community and industry, much fundamental research is still needed, especially at the networking layers. Compared to traditional wireless communication systems, the special propagation features and hardware constraints of mmWave systems introduce many new challenges in the design of efficient and robust medium access control (MAC), routing, and transport protocols. Communication at such high frequencies suffers from high attenuation and signal absorption as well as high penetration loss, requiring the use of highly directional antennas. This move from conventional omnidirectional networks to directional, blockage-prone mmWave connectivity marks a true paradigm shift for mmWave networking, affecting the design of all aspects of network control and resource management. The extremely high data rates achievable at mmWave come at the price of high coordination overhead. This in turn requires a radical rethinking of the design of all aspects of network coordination and resource management, including cell-discovery and initial access, mobility management, routing, coordination, scheduling, user association, resource allocation, and network planning. Presently, there is arguably an adequate understanding of physical layer issues. By contrast, the upper layers of the protocol stack are still largely unexplored in the context of efficient and robust mmWave networking. The severe channel attenuation, vulnerability to blockage by mobile and environmental obstacles, inherent directionality of mmWave links, the reduced interference footprint, complicated channel establishment and mobility management, and high signaling overhead of mmWave networks demand a thorough reconsideration of traditional protocols and design principles at the MAC as well as the higher layers. This special issue seeks new ideas to address networking challenges of future mmWave networks. The purpose is not only to serve as a collection of recent developments of mmWave communications, but also to inspire readers/researchers to contribute in this exciting and promising field. Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality original manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to: - Network planning, optimization and learning theories for mmWave networks - Performance analysis, optimization, and fundamental limits - Signal processing for effective networking - Measurement studies and deployment experiences of mmWave networks - Routing, scheduling, resource allocation, and interference management - Initial access and link establishment for mmWave networks - Mobility management and seamless handover for mmWave networks - Association and coordination among access points/base stations and terminals/mobile equipment - Spectrum sharing (bandwidth or infrastructure) for mmWave networks - Beam-steering and tracking algorithms for mmWave networks - Scalable wireless access algorithms for large numbers of connected devices - Novel transport protocols for mmWave networks - Cross-layer adaptation for mmWave networks - Coexistence/integration with e.g. microwave technologies in heterogeneous networks *Guest Editors of the Special Issue* Carlo Fischione KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Email: carlofi(a)kth.se Ljiljana Simic RWTH Aachen University, Germany Email: lsi(a)inets.rwth-aachen.de Joerg Widmer IMDEA Networks, Spain Email: joerg.widmer(a)imdea.org Sandeep Rangan NYU Tandon, NY, USA Email: srangan(a)nyu.edu Dimitrios Koutsonikolas University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA Email: dimitrio(a)buffalo.edu Xinyu Zhang UC San Diego, CA, USA Email: xyzhang(a)ucsd.edu Anfu Zhou Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Email: zhouanfu(a)bupt.edu.cn -- http://people.networks.imdea.org/~joerg_widmer/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EAI GOODTECHS 2019, Extended Deadline - Valencia, Spain, 25/09 - 27/09 Datum: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 16:14:45 +0100 Von: Giacomo Quadrio <gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * GoodTechs 2019 * * 5th EAI International Conference on * Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good * * September 25-27, 2019 * * Submissions due: April 10, 2019 [extended] * ******************************************************************** SCOPE ====== By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more. In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it. In GOODTECHS we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. Topics Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas: - App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms - Blockchain for social good - Communication between mobile devices - Content Distribution - E-learning solutions - Data collection, organization and dissemination methods - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Deployment and field-testing - Digital tools for art and feelings - Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation - Experimental results of communication testbeds - Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications - Health and social care - Human-object interaction - ICT for development - Mobile service architectures and frameworks - Mobility and handover management - New application scenarios for vehicular communications - Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT - Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices - Privacy issues and solutions - Protocol design, testing and verification - Security issues, architectures and solutions - Smart cities and transportation - Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business - Smart governance and e-administration - Smart living and E-health - Technology addressing the digital divide SPECIAL SESSIONS ================ In addition to the main conference, GOODTECHS19 features special sessions, aimed to emphasize emerging topics not fully or not specifically covered in the main conference. Special sessions highlight current topics related to experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Presentations delivered during the events should be based on original papers, selected through a peer-review process and that have not been previously published. Accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques, either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks. The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not limited to: · Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks · Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks · Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks · Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks · Incentive models for energy sharing by peers · Energy trading and economy models among peers · Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks · Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks · Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks · Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks · Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers · Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Manuscripts must be written in English, are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the IEEE template format available here. All accepted papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend and present his/her work at the workshop.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering - Special Issue on Edge computing for Internet of Things
by Lars Wolf 12 Mar '19

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering - Special Issue on Edge computing for Internet of Things Datum: Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:16:24 -0300 Von: Qiang Ye <qiangye(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Qiang Ye <qiangye(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *CALL FOR PAPERS* *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering* *Special Issue on Edge computing for Internet of Things* *TOPIC SUMMARY:* The Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to improve the quality of human lives through billions of Internet-based devices. To satisfy the computation and storage requirements of IoT, cloud computing has served as the most important computing infrastructure. However, with the explosion of the number of devices in IoT (expected to reach 50 billion by 2020), a large volume of raw data will be continuously generated by IoT devices, consequently making cloud computing inadequate to efficiently and securely handle the data. In particular, cloud computing will be highly limited in terms of network bandwidth and privacy protection in IoT. To solve this problem, many researchers have attempted to move data computation and service provisioning from the cloud to the edge, which results in the area of edge computing and the related fog computing. Early-stage research has indicated that edge computing could potentially enable IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve the scalability and energy efficiency of IoT systems, and facilitate contextual information processing. Nevertheless, a series of challenging problems need to be addressed in order to fully utilize edge computing for IoT. For instance, most of the computation resources in edge computing are heterogeneous mobile devices that are highly energy-hungry, which means that edge computing tends to be unreliable. Moreover, how to efficiently distribute computation/data storage and how to combine edge computing with cloud computing in order to provide scalable services need to be further studied. In addition, how to support services without compromising privacy and security is a challenging problem in edge computing.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the usersâ€™ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving â€œby designâ€ . The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT - Service platforms for IoT applications - Business models and processes for IoT applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices - Access network issues including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT context - Experimental IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applicationsÍ¾ including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration of IoT, Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT - System architectures for massive IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors. Nurturing the development of smart service systems seeks for inter- and trans-disciplinary crosscutting research threads from system and operational engineering, computer science and information systems, social and behavioral science, computational modeling and industrial engineering etc. The goal of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the fundamental knowledge and principles of smart service systems that enable the value co-creation in sensing, actuating, data analytics, learning, cognition, and control of human centric cyber-physical-social systems and future of work..

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 4th Workshop on Security and Dependability of Critical Embedded Real-Time Systems (CERTS 2019). Datum: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:58:25 +0000 Von: Mikael Asplund <mikael.asplund(a)liu.se> Antwort an: Mikael Asplund <mikael.asplund(a)liu.se> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS CERTS2019 4th Workshop on Security and Dependability of Critical Embedded Real-Time Systems In conjunction with ECRTS2019 Stuttgart, Germany, July 9, 2019 https://www.ecrts.org/certs/ ====================================================================== Welcome to the fourth round of the CERTS workshop! Following a successful series of workshops that co-locate with conferences in the fields of real-time and embedded systems, security, and dependability, we are now happy to be one of the workshops at ECRTS’19. =============== Themes =============== At their heart, many critical systems and system infrastructures are composed of real-time and embedded systems (RTES). For example, RTES control our power grids, maintain our smart homes, steer our vehicles or they host the software in road-side units that allow our vehicles to drive more safely and more efficiently. For sure, they will open the way to even more challenging applications, such as in autonomous and cooperating vehicles, terrestrial or aerial. However, most of these RTES are distributed and networked, which makes them vulnerable to accidental faults, targeted attacks, and advanced and persistent threats. Worse, compromise of a few nodes may bring down the entire system, in particular if attacks persist. The grand challenges brought in by these scenarios include ensuring continuous unmaintained operation under faults and attacks. Systems may possibly utilize easier to upgrade computation resources in mobile phones or road side units whose trustworthiness needs to be established while the RTES approaches these units. And while attackers may try to compromise the RTES’ functionality or timing, we seek to protect the integrity and timeliness of systems and the privacy of their users. Mastering these challenges requires the expertise of several research areas, and so, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers from the security and dependability, distributed systems and real-time communities, in order to discuss and promote new and exciting research ideas and initiatives, and to identify and discuss the challenges that lie ahead for such critical applications. Additionally new artificial-intelligence-based sensing, control, and decisions introduces new challenges in real-time guarantees, dependability and security threats. CERTS’19 strives for an inclusive and diverse program and solicits short and long technical papers on open problems, experiments, case studies, new ideas, or future challenges. =============== Important dates =============== Submission deadline: April 16, 2019 Notification: May 14, 2019 Camera ready deadline: May 29, 2019 Workshops: July 9, 2019 =============== Scope and topics of interest =============== CERTS’19 is open to all topics at the intersection of security and dependability of embedded and real-time systems, with an emphasis on criticality and distribution. As such, areas of interest include but are not limited to the following topics: * Security and dependability of cyber-physical and other real-time and embedded systems, * Vulnerabilities and protective measures of CPS infrastructure, * Fault and intrusion tolerant distributed real-time systems, * Confidentiality and privacy in real-time and embedded systems, * System architectures encompassing combinations of distribution, security, dependability and timeliness, and * Threats and vulnerabilities due to the use of artificial intelligence techniques Contribution formats include technical presentations of systems, system models and architectures, methods, tools, protocols and infrastructures to improve the dependability and security of real-time systems but also open problems and future challenges papers and experimental papers including experience reports and negative results. =============== Committees =============== Workshop Chairs Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Michael Paulitsch, Intel, Germany Program Committee Antônio Augusto Fröhlich, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil Rakesh Bobba, Oregon State University, US Christian Esposito, University of Naples Federico II, Italy Marisol Garcia Valls, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Martin Gilje Jaatun, University of Stavanger, Norway Karl Goeschka, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Gert Jervan, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia Zbigniew Kalbarczyk, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US Martina Maggio, Lund University, Sweden Sibin Mohan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US Sasikumar Punnekkat, Maelardalen University, Sweden Hans Reiser, Universität Passau, Germany Soheil Samii, General Motors, US Elena Troubitsyna, KTH, Sweden Bryan Ward, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, US Saman Zonouz, Rutgers University, US Steering Committee Marcus Voelp, SnT – University of Luxembourg Paulo Esteves-Verissimo, SnT – University of Luxembourg Antonio Casimiro, University of Lisboa Rodolfo Pellizzoni, University of Waterloo ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends.

FANET is composed of nodes that fly at high altitude platforms such as balloons, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, which have the ability to fly without a human pilot aboard. The network of nodes that fly at high altitude has gained commercial and industrial popularity because of its applications in surveillance, agriculture, photography, etc. For instance, the new applications that are being developed for FANET bring up the new challenges such as multipath propagation, severe shadowing, traffic load balancing, mobility, congestion, high error rates, etc., that usually results in the performance degradation of the network. However, the applications developed and used in FANET may also result in collision with the commercial flights due to the above challenges. > > The Federal Aviation Administration has been reported about the tremendous increase of more than 50% in the air traffic specifically the unmanned vehicles in 2017. However, such an increase in the UAVs results in an increase in the network traffic of FANET that may lead to an unbalanced traffic distribution, resulting in an increase in packet loss due to collision. Furthermore, the high data traffic generated by the number of nodes in FANET is one of the leading causes of accidents with the commercial flights. In order to cope with such kind of challenges, the network traffic of FANET must be distributed in such a way that it should neither disturb the commercial flights nor the communication among the nodes that fly at high altitudes in a network. > This Special Issue therefore solicits original research work, novel protocols, methodologies and survey papers addressing the future challenges and solutions that embark on network resource management in FANETs. The topics of Special Issue include, but are not limited to: > > - Efficient deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at high altitude platforms (HAPs) for congestion avoidance and control > - Dynamic traffic load balancing for congestion avoidance through routing in Flying Ad hoc Networks > - Performance investigation of 5G systems with flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) > - An optimal data collection and dissemination technique for balanced traffic utilization in FANETs > - Distributed congestion-aware position oriented MAC/Routing protocols for FANETs > - Performance evaluation of layered protocols of TCP/IP for multimedia traffic in flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) at different altitude platforms > - Analysis of Reactive, proactive, and hybrid routing protocols for flying Ad Hoc networks > - Opportunistic routing for distributed video traffic dissemination over flying ad hoc networks > - A cross layer design for distributed information dissemination over flying ad hoc networks > - Agricultural environment monitoring system based on UAV in FANETs > - Congestion avoidance, detection, and mitigation in Flying Ad-Hoc Network for efficient utilization of network resources > - Distributed clustering approach for FANETs > - Enhanced connectivity for robust multimedia transmission in UAV networks > - Active Queue Management for resource sharing in Flying Ad hoc Networks > - Bio-inspired routing protocols for FANET routing > - Multi-hop and relay-based communications for distributed traffic load balancing > - Smart solutions to reduce congestion in FANETs > - Interaction of FANET with IoT > - Distributed Emergency Message Dissemination in FANET > > > Associate Editor: Omer Chughtai, COMSATS University Islamabad, Wah Campus, Wah Cantt, Pakistan. > > GUEST EDITORS > -------------------------- > Mubashir Husain Rehmani, Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland. > Leila Musavian, University of Essex, United Kingdom (UK). > Sidi-Mohammed Senouci, University of Bourgogne, France. > Soumaya Cherkaoui, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada. > Shiwen Mao, Auburn University, USA. > Onur Alparslan, Osaka University, Japan. > > > IEEE Access Editor-in-Chief: Michael Pecht, Professor and Director, CALCE, University of Maryland > > > Paper submission: Contact Associate Editor and submit manuscript to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-access > > For information regarding IEEE Access including its publication policy and fees, please visit the website http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org > > For inquiries regarding this Special Section, please contact the Associate Editor: umar.chughtai(a)gmail.com. > > > ================================================= > Mubashir Husain Rehmani, Ph.D., Senior Member IEEE > Assistant Lecturer, Department of Computer Science, > Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Ireland > Area Editor, IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials > Associate Editor, IEEE Communications Magazine > Associate Editor, IEEE Access > Associate Editor, Elsevier CAEE, FGCS & JNCA Journals > Associate Editor, Springer Wireless Networks > Associate Editor, AHSWN Journal and JCN Journal > https://sites.google.com/site/mshrehmani/ > ================================================= > > > ______________________________________________________________ > IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The goal is to connect devices that are able to self-configure and self-adapt to contextual changes through collaboration, instead of expecting direct human input. Nevertheless, this seamless integration of the cyber capabilities of the corresponding devices with the physical world, is poised to take the threats against this technology to the next level. In this context, every threat against IoT may constitute a threat against the physical assets of systems and such threats may be even translated to loss of human lives. The focus of SPIoT is on high quality research papers about state of the art in a wide range of IoT-related technologies: - Security and privacy in heterogeneous IoT. - Secure and Privacy Preserving Data Mining and Aggregation in IoT applications. - Cross-domain trust management in smart networks. - Secure authentication of IoT devices. - MAC layer security protocols for the IoT applications. - IoT security mechanisms targeting application layer protocols. - Resource-savvy Intrusion Detection for Networks of Things. - IoT-based malware mitigation. Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) in SpaCCS 2019 Workshops Proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex). ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The scientific evolution of digital, analog, and physical components with the interactions between networks created the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Even though the benefits of the cyber and physical world interactions are noticeable, new security challenges have arisen: typical vulnerabilities from the cyber domain emerged in CPS. Cyber-attacks over CPS pose different security challenges. In particular, classic Information Technology (IT) cyber security tools are considered partially or totally ineffective in CPS scenarios because complex cyber-physical attacks could avoid security detection methodologies developed specifically for the IT world. The prevention, detection, and mitigation of cyber-attacks encompass both the physical and the cyber layers of a system: to this end, approaches to securing CPS consider techniques adopted in the physical domain and in the cyber space. Following the success of the previous editions, the IEEE International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security 2019 (CPS-Sec 2019) aims to represent a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry and academia interested in the areas of CPS security. CPS-Sec 2019 seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cyber-physical security challenges. A submission may represent any CPS domain, including embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), SCADA Systems, Smart-Grid Systems, Critical Infrastructure, Automotive and Transportation Systems, Medical applications. Example topics of interest are given below, but are not limited to: * Secure CPS architectures * Authentication mechanisms for CPS * Access control for CPS * Key management in CPS * Data security and privacy for CPS * Forensics for CPS * Intrusion detection for CPS * Trusted-computing in CPS * Energy-efficient and secure CPS * Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS * Distributed secure solutions for CPS * Threat models for CPS * Physical layer security for CPS * Security on heterogeneous CPS * Secure protocol design in CPS * Vulnerability analysis of CPS * Anonymization in CPS * Security of CPS in automotive systems * Security of CPS in aerospace systems * Security of embedded systems * Security of CPS in medical devices/systems * Security of CPS in civil engineering systems/devices * Security of industrial control systems * Security of Internet-of-Things ================================================================= IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline: 15 March, 2019 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: 26 March, 2019 Camera-Ready: 2 April, 2019 ================================================================= STEERING COMMITTEE: Kemal Akkaya, Florida International University, USA Selcuk Uluagac, Florida International University, USA Mauro Conti, University of Padua, Italy ================================================================= GENERAL CHAIR: Mauro Conti, University of Padua, Italy ================================================================= PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS: Mohammad Ashiqur Rahman, Florida International University, USA Tooska Dargahi, University of Salford, UK Giuseppe Bernieri, University of Padua, Italy ================================================================= PUBLICITY CHAIR: Eleonora Losiouk, University of Padua, Italy ================================================================= WEB CHAIR: Amit Sikder, Florida International University, USA ================================================================= TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Cristina Alcaraz, University of Malaga, Spain Mohammed Al-Saleh, Eastern Michigan University, USA Daniele Antonioli, SUTD, Singapore Sana Belguith, University of Salford, UK Alvaro Cárdenas, University of Texas, Dallas, USA Carol Fung, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA Tarek Gabber, University of Salford, UK Uttam Ghosh, Vanderbilt University, USA Mohammad Hammoudeh, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Nesrine Kaaniche, Telecom SudParis, France Marina Krotofil, BASF, Germany Javier Lopez, University of Malaga, Spain Mohamed Mahmoud, Tennessee Tech University, USA Mohammad Manshaei, Florida International University, USA Nick Multary, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA Khaled Rabieh, Sam Houston State University, USA Yogachandran Rahulamathavan, Loughborough University, UK Nils Ole Tippenhauer, CISPA, Germany Deepak Tosh, University of Texas at El Paso, USA Xuhang Ying, University of Washington, USA Chia-Mu Yu, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan ================================================================= SUBMISSION Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

Understanding the societal and economic impact and human-centered aspects of a smart system or technology in advance and designing the system a-priori with potential value-added services help spur the discoveries of new tools, methodologies and innovative services. Smart service systems span across a variety of socio-technical facets comprising of devices, people, organizations, environments, and technologies to sense, actuate, control and assess the physical, cyber and societal artifacts of the human service systems. Besides the systems being self-adaptive and fault-tolerant, need to be designed in such a way that it can continuously increase the quality and productivity, the compliance and sustainability of the smart services it offers. While human-centered perspective and cognitive learning help create multi-facet value added services and catalyze the sustained economic growth of smart service systems, understanding the multi-modal sensing, control, heterogeneity and interdependency between different physical, virtual and logical components of such a complex system will enable the realization of new transformative smarter service systems. If successful, this can help improve the quality-of-service of the customers, quality-of-life of the citizens and quality-of returns of the stakeholders and investors.
