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.

Smart health, smart cities, smart industries, smart agriculture, smart environment, smart transportation, smart homes, smart education, smart business, smart energy, smart grids, and so on are the components that aid the mankind for smart living. However, they require, typically, design and development of innovative technologies, standards, and protocols apart from their architectures and frameworks. IoT has emerged as an extension to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with the low-cost and Internet-enabled solution for connecting and accessible anything from anywhere. In addition, such smartness derived due to the artificial intelligence yields in the production of tremendous amounts of data.

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 algorithms 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.

Februar 2019 23:43:05 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Secure Cities [Call for Papers] [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] 2nd ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (Securing Smart Cities) to be held on July 02-05, 2019 at Catania, Italy. https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2019/workshop-Secure-Cities.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, the Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates: April 1, 2019 Submission deadline May 5, 2019 Acceptance notification May 12, 2019, Camera-ready deadline July 2, 2019 Workshop day Workshop Co-Chairs - Syed Hassan Ahmed, Georgia Southern University, USA - Danda B.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Xenofon (Fontas) Fafoutis" <00000134bbe013e9-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 18. Februar 2019 17:31:07 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE ITSC 2019 - Special Session on Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation CALL FOR PAPERS: ITSC 2019 - The 22nd IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems October 27-30, 2019. Auckland, New Zealand. ------------------------------- Special Session on *Beyond Traditional Sensing for Intelligent Transportation* ------------------------------- Over the past few decades, sensors have not only become more advanced but also made impressive strides across an increasing number of sensing modalities. Despite the improved capabilities and breadth of available sensor systems, those used for intelligent transportation have remained relatively uniform across platforms; as a result, the algorithms and techniques being designed do not take full advantage of the rich information modern sensors can provide. Since all tasks -- including perception, localisation, decision-making, and learning -- are built on top of sensing, exploring alternative approaches to sensing is a compelling research area that can render all subsequent tasks more robust and accurate. The objective of this special session is to explore unconventional sensing for intelligent transportation in three ways. Firstly, it will investigate sensor systems that are not typically applied to certain transportation tasks, such as radar for precise localisation, audio for failure detection, and RF sensing for road traffic estimation. Secondly, it will explore untraditional sensor configurations and placements, such as ground-facing cameras using shadows to detect occluded moving objects. Lastly, it will look into the sensing of commonly overlooked information, such as the use of atmospheric sensors for gauging road surface traction or in-vehicle sensors for driving analysis. Via these three themes, this special session aims to stimulate discussion and research into untraditional sensing in order to improve the reliability and accuracy of transportation systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Localisation and navigation using radars (e.g., scanning, Doppler, and ground-penetrating); * Ego-noise and soundscape modelling and interpretation (e.g., sound-based failure detection, terrain/road surface status classification, urban sound source detection and localisation); * Event-based (neuromorphic) vision for localisation and perception in challenging scenarios; * Multi-spectral imaging (e.g. IR or polarimetric cameras for localisation and perception under difficult visibility); * In-vehicle sensing and wearable computing for failure detection, driver and passenger behaviour modelling; * Far infrared sensing; * Texture odometry; * Novel sensor hardware and designs; * Unconventional sensor placements or multi-sensor systems; * Optimal sensor scheduling and control in complex and/or multi-agent / social environments; * Astronomical (skyward-facing), atmospheric or odor-based sensing; * IoT technology for intelligent transportation and Internet of Vehicles (IoV); * Passive Wireless/RF sensing. ------------------------------- *Important Dates* Paper Submission Deadline: March 31, 2019 Notification of Acceptance: June 30, 2019 Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 15, 2019 Conference Dates: October 27-30, 2019 Authors are kindly invited to notify the organisers of their submissions.

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 users™ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving by design. 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.

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.

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.. > Research contributions are solicited in all areas pertinent to smart human services and systems, including: > • Innovative technologies, tools, methodologies and solutions for smart service systems; example includes personalized healthcare, smart energy, smart cities, smart manufacturing, intelligent transportation, education, precision medicine and agriculture, national security etc. > • Information extraction and interpretation from sensors, actuators, smart phones, smart watch, and human > • Context and situational-awareness of smart service systems > • Design of people-centric services and technologies for providing better services such as food, transportation and places to live > • Novel architectures and interoperable solutions for internet of things > • Models and methodologies for designing complex smart systems > • Big data analytics approaches for innovative smart services > • Modeling, analysis, co-production, and co-evolution of human activity, behavior and interaction for the effective adaptation and percolation of longitudinal smart service systems > • Role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, pervasive computing, control theory, information and communications technologies > • Design and developments of intelligent systems, intelligent enterprises and cyber-physical-social-systems > • Design of inter-dependent complex global systems such as healthcare, smart gird, computer networks, logistics and supply-chains, financial markets etc. > • Smart infrastructure and testbed to support the integration and test of autonomous systems and innovative applications > > Important Dates > Paper submission: March 10, 2019 > Notification: April 10, 2019 > Camera Ready: April 28, 2019 > Workshop Date: June 12th or June 15th, 2019 > > Organizing Committees > Workshop Co-Organizers > Nirmalya Roy, University of Maryland, Baltimore County > Gurdip Singh, Syracuse University > Sajal Das, Missouri University of Science and Technology > > Technical Program Co-Chairs: > Kunal Mankodiya, University of Rhode Island, USA > Carlo Vallati, University of Pisa, Italy > > Publicity Co-chairs > Antonio Arena, University of Pisa, Italy > Mohammadreza Abtahi, University of Rhode Island, USA > > Technical Program Committee > TBD > > ______________________________________________________________ > IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Smart health, smart cities, smart industries, smart agriculture, smart environment, smart transportation, smart homes, smart education, smart business, smart energy, smart grids, and so on are the components that aid the mankind for smart living. However, they require, typically, design and development of innovative technologies, standards, and protocols apart from their architectures and frameworks. IoT has emerged as an extension to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with the low-cost and Internet-enabled solution for connecting and accessible anything from anywhere. In addition, such smartness derived due to the artificial intelligence yields in the production of tremendous amounts of data. The data increases as a baby-boomer requiring efficient tools to analyze and extract suitable inferences for services in order to extend smart living. Cloud, Edge and Big Data acquired enormous attention in light of massive data storage and analytics. With the large cohorts of gazette shrewdness and hi-tech population, the infrastructure, service delivery becomes expensive and difficult to manage for cities and governments. Automating systems through utilization of IoT, Cloud, Edge, Big Data, and M2M tools and technologies demonstrate great opportunity to reduce operating costs significantly, utilize those savings more effectively, and provide better services to communities for the smarter living.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP SPECTS 2019: 2019 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems Datum: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:37:32 +0200 Von: George T. Karetsos <karetsos(a)CS.NTUA.GR> Antwort an: George T. Karetsos <karetsos(a)CS.NTUA.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The goal of this annual conference is to provide a forum for professionals and researchers to discuss and disseminate the most promising contributions on performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modeling, analysis, and simulation studies as well as testbed deployment, field trials and experiences gained are all in the scope of the conference. Work presenting novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime tradeoffs are particularly encouraged. Papers and tutorials are solicited in (but not limited to) the following subjects of interest: Networking Technologies and Telecommunication Systems Future Internet and next Generation Networking 5G & Beyond Hyperdense networks Massive MIMO mm Wave communications Multiple access, multiplexing, modulation and coding techniques Cooperative communications and networking Cognitive radio and networking Autonomic Networks Software Defined Networking Network Function Virtualization Cloud Radio Access Networks Radio over Fiber Flexible optical networks Optical-Wireless communication and systems Visible light communications Internet of Things and enabling technologies Machine to Machine systems Device to Device communications Cyber Physical Systems Wireless ad-hoc Networks Wireless Sensor Networks Delay Tolerant Networks Opportunistic Networks Vehicular ad-hoc networks / connected vehicles Nanonetworks Satellite and Space communications and networking Network design, optimization, management and performance evaluation Traffic engineering, network reliability, Quality of Service / Experience Computer Systems Parallel and Distributed Computing Service Oriented Architectures and Microservices Cloud and Edge Computing High Performance Computing Distributed and Mobile Middleware Computer Architectures Microprocessors Multi-core processors Memory systems High performance I/O Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence Applications and Machine Learning Software Engineering, Performance, Evaluation and Testing Verification and Validation Programming Languages Parallel Algorithms Data Storage Systems Fault tolerance, signal processing, and coding techniques Tools & Methodologies Modeling and Analysis Performance Optimization, Bounds and Models Stochastic Models Queuing Systems and Networks Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applications Integrated Modeling and Measurement Mathematical Aspects and Integrated Design of Performance Verification and Validation On-Line Performance Adaptation and Tuning Parallel and Distributed Simulation Case studies, Testbed deployments, field trials and experiences Scalability Studies Special Tracks and Areas of Interest Security and Performance in Computer and Telecommunication Systems Chairs: Jean-Pierre Seifert, Altaf Shaik, Robert Buhren Data security is vital to ensure protection against cyber threats that continue to raise and diversify at a rapid speed. But often, while deploying security mechanisms, the performance of the system is affected in adverse ways. A key challenge in the design of computer and telecommunication systems is to identify a neutral ground between security and performance. Whilst the widespread of devices spanning into networks and generating countless amounts of data absolutely require high performance systems. This makes us to rethink our security systems that can guarantee a high level of performance and also an acceptable level of security. In this respect, we invite researchers and security enthusiasts to submit papers that study and analyze various issues but not limited to such as tradeoff between security and performance, new security protocols in secure communication systems. Edge Computing and Edge-enabled AI for Network Management Chairs: Paolo Bellavista, Luca Foschini, Carlo Giannelli Edge computing is rapidly emerging as the most relevant architectural approach to manage some hard and open technical challenges associated with wide-scale and quality-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications, which typically exploit the elastic availability of cloud resources on the server side. EAINM specifically focuses on network quality configuration, optimization, configuration, control, and management enabled by edge computing in three-layer deployment environments (device, edge, cloud). In particular, EAINM considers as central all methodological, design, implementation, and deployment experiences that investigate digital twin creation at the cloud layer and distributed enforcement of twin control actions also at the edge, typically with complex machine learning processing at the cloud side and more lightweight digital twin execution and refinement at edge nodes. Contributions about enabling AI techniques for these architectures and practical application prototyping/deployment experiences (e.g., for manufacturing production quality control and optimized management of distributed caching) are strongly welcome. Aspects and trends of software evaluation Chairs: George Tsihrintzis, Maria Virvou Software applications are evolving rapidly and are expanding their use to all the areas of human activity by the means of all sorts of hardware, including computers, handheld devices, smart things, digital signage etc. The vast use of software in many contexts imposes the need for the development of new evaluation methodologies, frameworks and processes to address software quality characteristics that include reliability, reusability, effectiveness, correctness, accuracy and also security and privacy that conform to new law regulations. Moreover, the important software quality characteristics of usability, user friendliness and utility have to be ensured for end users of a vast range of disciplines and backgrounds. Thus, measuring and evaluating the quality of software applications has become of critical importance and should attract a lot of research energy. The aim of ASE is to address current aspects and trends of software evaluation. Modeling and Evaluation of Wireless Body Area Networks Chair: Yahya Osais Wireless Body Area Not (WBAN) are networks of medical sensors which are attached or implanted into the body of a human being or animal to monitor and control biological processes. Their performance is limited by their constrained resources and side effects such as heat. Before the full potential of WBANs can be realized, many fundamental issues must be studied using performance evaluation tools and measurements. The aim of MEWBAN is to provide the necessary insights to make the needed progress. Social Network Analysis and Performance Aspects of Socially-Aware Networking Chairs: Magdalini Eirinaki, Iraklis Varlamis, Malamati Louta The rapid development of wireless communications and the rise of social networks established a new research field that stands between telecommunications and social network theory. Smart and wearable mobile devices act as alternative gateways for participation in social networks and introduced “mobility” as a new aspect of social networking and applications. The aim of SANet is to provide a forum where researchers from the fields of Social Network Analysis and Telecommunication Systems Performance will come together, exchange ideas and generate new collaborations that bring us a step closer to Socially-Aware Networking.

Februar 2019 00:21:14 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Cfp: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on Cyber-Physical Security in Industrial Environments IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics CALL FOR PAPERS for Special Section on Cyber-Physical Security in Industrial Environments Timetable: Deadline for manuscript submissions: May 1, 2019 Expected publication date (tentative): October 2019 Overview “Smart” is slowly becoming a concept that infiltrates all branches of everyday life and environments in which we are living. The “Smart Industrial Environments” term can be coined to describe everything every aspect of future-focused industrial environments, being it smart transportation systems, smart vehicles, smart factories, smart grids, smart devices (smartphones, wearables), smart services (e.g. individual just-in-time production piplines adjusted to the needs of the supply-chain) to smart management of plants using information technology. In addition of being a term that contains all these aspects, it also includes the inter-connection of all these smart technologies, crossing any kind of technological and political borders. The Smart Industrial Environments, developed under the support of a new generation of cyber-physical systems, can realize information resource in a highly concentrated manner. With the increase of information sharing, this underpins the increasing importance of information and network security. Securing a Smart Industrial Environment is a great challenge as there are many actors, complex systems, and interplays between them. One of the key issues in a Smart Industrial Environments is to ensure users’ information security and privacy as well as security of systems that it consists of.

Cooperative collision avoidance aims at protecting VRUs by assuming that they are able to communicate their position with nearby cars by using mobile devices. In this approach, vehicles and VRUs exchange information, like their respective movement vectors for detecting whether a collision is possible or not. Mobile devices offer a wide range of sensors, which enable the recognition of specific contexts of VRUs, like for example whether a pedestrian runs towards an intersection or crosses a curb. Those contexts indicate unsafe VRU movements and can be used to improve collision avoidance in terms of collision detection performance, position accuracy, energy efficiency and more. This workshop aims at addressing these and similar challenges for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Car2VRU related scenarios. Topics of interest for the submissions include, but are not limited to: * Car2VRU architectures, applications and use cases * Car2X, Car2VRU (Car2P, Car2B) communications * Analysis of latency, overhead and message frequencies for Car2VRU communication * Machine learning and context modelling for pedestrians and bicyclists * Localization, GNSS improvements * Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) * Mobile edge computing (MEC) IMPORTANT DATES: *Paper Submission Deadline: April 19, 2019* Author Notification: May 05, 2019 Camera-ready version due: June 20, 2019 Workshop: September 23-24, 2019 TPC, SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: See workshop website: _https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/ <https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ict4vru/index.html>_ CHAIRS Klaus David, University of Kassel Falko Dressler, Paderborn University CONTACT INFO: ict4vru-workshop(a)informatik2019.de <mailto:ict4vru-workshop@informatik2019.de> Viele Grüße Klaus/ David -- Prof. Dr. Klaus David University of Kassel Faculty of Electrical Engineering/ Computer Science Chair for Communication Technology (ComTec) Wilhelmshöher Allee 73 34121 Kassel - Germany Phone:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6314 Phone2:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6446 (Secretary) Fax:+49 - 561 - 804 - 6360 Mobile:+49 - 170 - 2901602 Email:david@uni-kassel.de <mailto:david@uni-kassel.de> WWW:http://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• INFORMATIK 2019 • 23.-26.09.2019 • Kassel • www.informatik2019.de <http://www.informatik2019.de/> 50 Jahre Gesellschaft für Informatik - Informatik für Gesellschaft ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

At the same time, the edge of the Internet is increasingly empowered with new capabilities, like pervasive sensing and computing power, which opens the way to new domains, services and business models beyond traditional mobile Internet, such as connected cars, participatory and urban sensing, industrial IoT. As a consequence, new types of information have to be delivered by the network with varying requirements in terms of reliability, transmission rates and latency. To cope with the exponential growth of devices and mobile data traffic, there is a need for clean-slate or evolutionary Internet architectures merging and assembling different network technologies, supporting new paradigms for wired/wireless system planning and optimization, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, efficient and quality-aware content distribution, and new approaches for unified operations and management of the heterogeneous components, like software-defined systems and network function virtualization.

These systems operate under continuous perturbations making manual adjustments infeasible. For a collective system to be resilient, its *adaptation* must also be collective, in the sense that multiple entities must adapt in a way that addresses critical runtime conditions while preserving the benefits of collaborative interdependencies. Decision-making in such systems is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the entities may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. In such systems, a new approach for adaptation is needed to allow: (i) multiple entities to collectively adapt with; (ii) negotiations to decide which collective changes are best. Collective adaptation also raises a second important challenge: Which parts of the system (things, services, people) should be engaged in an adaptation? This is nontrivial, as multiple solutions to the same problem may be generated at different levels. The challenge is to understand these levels and create mechanisms to decide the right scope for an adaptation for a given problem. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that they can be better designed, built, and analyzed, as well as case studies and applications showing such approaches in action. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcomed. Suggested Topics (but not limited to): * Novel theories relating to operating principles of CAS * Novel design principles for building CAS systems * Insights into the short and long-term adaptation of CAS systems * Insights into emergent properties of CAS * Insights into general properties of large scale, distributed CAS * Decision-making approaches in CAS * Methodologies for studying, analyzing, and building CAS * Frameworks for analyzing or developing CAS case studies * Languages, platforms, APIs and other tools for CAS * Scenarios, case studies, and experience reports of CAS in different contexts (e.g., Smart Mobility, Smart Energy/Smart Grid, Smart Buildings, traffic management, emergency response, etc.) ============================================================== Submission Instructions and Review Criteria ============================================================== The length of a workshop paper may not exceed *6 pages* including references and follow the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. All papers should be submitted in PDF format. You can submit the paper through EasyChair using this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecas2019 By submitting a paper, the authors confirm that in case of acceptance, at least one author will attend the workshop to present the work.

We aim to gather the principal practitioners and their experiences under one roof to discuss their findings, incite collaboration and move the state of the art forward. We plan to position this forum as the premier venue for presenting and discussing work in progress in how to develop and maintain pervasive computing solutions in Smart Health domain. Smart healthcare emerges as a novel technology that aims to provide round-the-clock monitoring of several vital signs of patients using various health sensors, specialized communication protocols, and intelligent context-aware applications. Smart healthcare applications proactively contact the caregiver provided any abnormality arises in the health condition of a monitored patient. It has been a boon to the patients suffering from different diseases and requiring continuous monitoring and care, such as, disabled individuals, assisted living, children of different ages, and adults who are susceptible to near-fatal falls or sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rates, stress level, etc. Since, there are heterogeneous devices and communication technologies introduced by different companies, major issues that need to be addressed are (1) A unified platform to facilitate coordination between the large-scale device distributions, (2) plug-and-play type inclusion of newer health sensors and replacing old ones without destabilizing the system, (3) Securing personal health records collected over multiple devices, and finally (4) collecting, managing, storing and making decisions over several critical healthcare events composing various real-time data traces. Applying machine intelligence techniques by AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) researchers for intelligent and decentralized decision making in Healthcare should also be considered for the distributed Smart Health applications. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Scope of the workshop-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* The workshop is supposed to stir interesting discussions on various challenging topics on smart healthcare, such as, data acquisition and context reasoning, analytics and knowledge management, architectural and algorithmic issues, energy-efficiency, data verification, complex pervasive computing interactions, cost efficiency, data privacy and security, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Wearable and implantable wireless sensors for healthcare • Computing for Health Internet-of-Things • IoT-Health case studies, testbeds & experimental results • Interoperable & connected medical devices • Distributed Smart Health platform comprising multiple sensors • Energy efficiency in wireless health monitoring • Usability, user friendliness and reusability • Safety-critical smart health systems • Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps • Protocols for wireless healthcare • Secure Computing for Healthcare Systems • Securing healthcare data exchange • Interference analysis & mitigation for IoT-health devices • Performance modelling of mobile healthcare systems • Big data in healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of smart health mobile apps • Data fusion, data mining and event detection • Diagnostic and decision support algorithms (using Machine Learning and AI) • Computing platforms for natural language processing on electronic health records • Patient tracking & localization technology • Detection, control and spread of epidemics • Predictive analytics for Rural Healthcare solutions • Multi-modal device interaction • People-Sensing and Crowdsourcing • User experience and adaptation • Accessibility • Decision theoretic models in rural healthcare • Hardware assisted intelligent systems design for smart healthcare applications • Intelligent hardware / embedded systems for smart healthcare • Application of emerging technologies in smart healthcare systems design • Other emerging design / modelling aspects of such systems / applications We also welcome papers on novel applications or environments that have a strong Smart Health component, especially if those novel applications and environments challenge existing ideas and design techniques. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Workshop organizers-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* General Co-Chairs Md Osman Gani, Miami University, USA Vaskar Raychoudhury, Miami University, USA Ferdaus Ahmed Kawsar, East Tennessee State University, USA Keynote Speaker: Adib Zaman, Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering, Purdue University, USA Web Chair Vaskar Raychoudhury, Miami University, USA Program Committee Members • Christian Krupitzer, University of Würzburg, Germany • Shahriar Nirjon, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA • Navrati Saxena, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea • Brian Bennett, East Tennessee State University, USA • Adib Zaman, Purdue University, USA • Janick Edinger, University of Mannheim, Germany • Esra Erdin, East Tennessee State University, USA • Weiping Zhu, Wuhan University, China • Mohammad Khan, East Tennessee State University, USA • Abhishek Roy, Samsung Electronics, South Korea • G M Tanimul Ahsan, University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Important Dates-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Deadline for paper submission: March 31, 2019 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2019 Camera-ready due: May 17, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Explore Digital Library as part of the overall conference proceedings. The list of workshops (with deadlines) are below. Please consider submitting your work to the most appropriate venues. - IEEE Workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber-Physical Systems (IEEE CCNCPS 2019) - 1st International Workshop on Data Distribution in Pervasive and Industrial Internet (DIPI) - IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN'19) - Workshop on Edge Computing and Caching in Communication Networks (E3CN) - SwarmNet: Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarms - 2nd SmartGrid Resilience (SGR) Workshop - The Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE Workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber-Physical Systems (IEEE CCNCPS 2019) The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of life, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems using cutting edge technologies. This requires the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervention, and interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment. CPS has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in CPS will continue to increase due to the integration of cyber components with physical and industrial systems. This workshop solicits unpublished research work related to the latest challenges, technologies, solutions, techniques and fundamentals pertaining to communication, computing, networking, control. URL: https://sites.google.com/site/ccncps/2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1st International Workshop on Data Distribution in Pervasive and Industrial Internet (DIPI) The ubiquitous presence of data originating from the integration of wireless networks, pervasive computing, industrial equipment and people has led to an increased interest in solutions for distributed data management and efficient data distribution at the edge of the networked environments. At the same time, the cyber-physical convergence, which assists cyber components such as sensing systems and dynamic physical components such as industrial and mechanical systems to achieve close interactions and feedback loops, leads to the industry's transition towards industrial integration and informatization. Those advancements encompass not only hardware and software, but also data integration and embrace a collection of techniques that use data analysis, manipulation, and distribution to achieve higher efficiency, effectiveness, reliability, and security within the industrial and pervasive internet. The essence of this vision is the creation of data-driven networks saturated with pervasive sensing, computing, and wireless communication that ideally support the needs of individuals, societies and industries. The existence of large volumes of data in the industrial and pervasive internet has already found its way into many current commercial systems due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies including industrial internet of things, pervasive computing and communications, and industrial cyber-physical systems. DIPI 2019 will provide a leading edge technical forum for researchers, engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work in the area of data distribution in industrial and pervasive internet. The workshop intends to attract research contributions focusing on data distribution in pervasive and industrial internet from the following the communities of Industrial Internet, Pervasive Computing and Communications, Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things. URL: http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/dipi2019/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN'19) The organizing committee of the IEEE WoWMoM workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) is glad to welcome you to the first of this workshop series, which will be held in June 2019 in Washington D.C., USA. The MESN 2019 workshop will 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. URL: https://sites.google.com/vcu.edu/mobile-energy-sharing-networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop on Edge Computing and Caching in Communication Networks (E3CN) Edge Computing is among the most active research fields today and is an essential technology in the next-generation communication systems. Edge computing deploys cloud functions in edge nodes such as base stations, access points, routers and smart phones, which is a promising expectation to provide low latency, low cost, proximity and high bandwidth network service. However, transforming this expectation into reality requires significant research efforts. This workshop will be devoted to the presentation of pioneering works targeting edge computing in communication networks. Additionally, the increasing demand for massive multimedia services in cellular networks poses great challenges on network capacity and backhaul links. URL: http://cie.shmtu.edu.cn/e3cn/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SwarmNet: Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarms Recent advances in embedded computing, wireless communication, flight controllers, and miniaturized sensing have enabled the growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Networked swarms of such UAVs promise breakthroughs in public safety, commercial, and military applications including search-and-rescue, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, virtual/augmented reality, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working at the intersection of wireless networking, mobile computing, sensing, robotics, and/or planning to address a myriad of fundamental technical challenges that must be solved before UAV swarms and, more broadly, multi-UAV systems can be safely, effectively, and widely deployed. Since many of these challenges will not be able to be addressed without the help of UAV swarm simulation platforms, experimental testbeds/prototypes, and experimental evaluations, papers on these topics are especially encouraged. URL: https://swarmnet-workshop.github.io/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd SmartGrid Resilience (SGR) Workshop The workshop will take place during WoWMoM 2019 in Washington DC, USA.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Cfp 1st workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST-IoT) @ACM MobiHoc 2019 Datum: Thu, 7 Feb 2019 10:23:12 +0000 Von: Anna Maria Vegni <annamaria.vegni(a)UNIROMA3.IT> Antwort an: Anna Maria Vegni <annamaria.vegni(a)UNIROMA3.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [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/ ****************************************************************************************************** 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 27, 2019 Program: May 31, 2018 Authors information: Papers should be submitted via the HotCRP submission website.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP JSAC Special Issue on "Millimeter-wave Networking" Datum: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 10:48:57 +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.
