Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence to perform required operations. On the one hand, the objects should be able to deal with the possibly unpredictable and intense mobility and can wirelessly communicate with each other in a reliable and secure way. On the other hand, these objects must be socially aware, as we have witnessed a big growth in provisioning social network services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing on mobile objects. The HotSALSA workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of novel systems for smart objects and the social aspects of these systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in the social and mobile connected smart objects arena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - App concepts and algorithm design for mobile social applications and systems - Drone coordination and aerial communication - Interaction between mobile devices and cars - Location- and tracking-based mobile services and social networking - Measurement of social aspects in mobile systems and applications - Mobile centric social networking - Mobile edge/fog computing and networking - Mobile online advertising and payment - Pervasive and ubiquitous mobile social services - Playful social interaction: game, entertainment, and multimedia in mobile applications - Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems - Security and privacy in mobility-aware mobile social networks - Sensors and data collection for social networking applications - Smart cities and urban applications - Social aspects of Mobile AR/VR - User behavior analysis in mobile applications - Wearable devices and computing Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, social networks, or the intersection of both. In particular, innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column format, including references.

Full and short papers ===================== Full paper submissions to ACM WiSec 2019 can be up to 10 pages in the ACM conference style excluding the bibliography and well marked appendices, and up to 12 pages in total. ACM WiSec also encourages the submission of short papers with a length of up to 6 pages, which describe mature work of a more succinct nature. All papers must be thoroughly anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Detailed submission instructions will appear on the conference website. Opinion papers ============== ACM WiSec 2019 invites papers (ACM conference style, up to 3 pages excluding references) that present personal perspectives on all aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks. Opinion papers could also criticize previous research or research directions, as well as highlight possible promising research directions. The opinions expressed in these papers are expected to be anyway corroborated by theoretical foundations, experiments, or experiences. Like the regular papers, the opinion papers will be reviewed by the WiSec Technical Program Committee. The selected opinion papers will be a part of the WiSec technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Opinion papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Opinion:". Replicability label =================== The goal of the replicability label is to support replicability in mobile and wireless security experimental research process and to increase the impact of mobile and wireless research, enable dissemination of research results, sharing of code and experiments setups, and to enable the research community to build on prior experimental results. WiSec will follow the ACM policy on artifact review and badging. Towards this goal, the WiSec replicability label recognizes papers whose results were replicated by an independent group of researchers. Authors of accepted papers can participate in this voluntary process by submitting their experiments according to the replicability evaluation instructions. Authors are encouraged to plan ahead when running their experiments to minimize the overhead of applying for this label.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Datum: Fri, 23 Nov 2018 12:27:32 +0100 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: engelbert.meissl(a)tugraz.at An: iti.announce(a)mlist.tugraz.at ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench - co-located with CPS-IoT Week) April 15, 2019 - Montreal, Canada https://cps-iotbench2019.ethz.ch/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE Over the last decade, research on cyber-physical systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) has led to smart systems at different scales and environments, from smart homes to smart cities and smart factories. Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as control, embedded and real-time systems, wireless communication, and networking. Despite these advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world CPS and IoT applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in CPS and IoT research. The 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing CPS and IoT solutions. CPS-IoTBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system’s perspective. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of CPS and IoT solutions; - offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of experimental comparison; - report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - describe efforts to replicate or reproduce experimental results from published research; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (embedded systems, real-time systems, networking, wireless communication and control, etc.); - benchmark industrial standardized solutions against each other and against academic solutions, and discuss their strengths and weakness for different application use-cases and industry verticals; - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Accepted papers will be published as part of the CPS-IoT Week proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single-spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2019) - workshop in conjunction with Internet Society's NDSS Symposium in San Diego Datum: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 19:32:59 +0200 Von: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> Antwort an: George C. Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2019 NDSS Symposium Workshop Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2019) Call for Papers https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2019/cfp-diss-2019/ The success of the Internet of Things (IoT) depends heavily on the extent of achieved interoperability, as well as on addressing the many security and privacy challenges. Due to the multitude of types of devices, systems, and protocols, and their scale of deployment and limited resources, some of these systems will be extremely challenging to interconnect and secure. The underlying edge network or edge-computing infrastructure, supporting the IoT, will also need to provide security and privacy guarantees. Given that IoT devices and edge networks are deployed by a multitude of players, decentralization has become a key enabling design goal of the system. For example, recent advances in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Blockchains can be incorporated to support decentralized security. In turn, decentralized security through distributed trust can help overcome privacy concerns and scalability bottlenecks, both of which are becoming increasingly serious in large-scale deployments, such as smart cities or Industry 4.0. A decentralized approach to IoT interconnection brings forth many opportunities, but also important challenges, e.g., in state synchronization, trust management, and the difficulties of operating with constrained devices and networking modes. Following the spirit of the NDSS Symposium, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to analyze and discuss the huge potential, but also the inevitable limitations of decentralized operation and security in the IoT space, in edge-computing, as well as in the wider mobile computing environment. The workshop will accept early-stage, novel ideas that are likely to trigger discussion. The proposed topics include the following: + Enabling secure interoperability across IoT ecosystems, including - Applying blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technology to IoT and edge network infrastructure - Security and availability in multi-tiered IoT edge networks - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) security and privacy in IoT - Decentralized trust and rights management, including access control - Decentralized authentication and access management at the IoT edge + Other topics related to decentralized security in IoT, such as - Security and privacy trade-offs related to IoT scalability and decentralization - Cryptocurrencies, crypto-assets and cryptoeconomics in IoT and edge-computing - Secure Service provisioning and migration in edge-computing environments - Sensor and Actuator Key Management and other Security Protocols - Smart Contracts for IoT, including formal verification of smart contracts - Application of concepts from outside of the IoT to decentralized IoT security - Usable security for decentralized IoT and edge-computing Submission Instructions =================== The workshop will accept papers between three to six pages in length, for publication in post-workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the Internet Society with the revised papers based on the workshop discussions and reviewer comments. Papers shall be submitted for review in print-ready form using the NDSS paper template and the review will be single blind.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [INFOCOM19 Workshop IECCO: Deadline Dec. 30, 2018] Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks Datum: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:15:19 +0800 Von: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 3rd Workshop on Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks, at the IEEE INFOCOM 2019, April 29-May 2, 2019, Paris, France Website: http://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-integrating-edge-computing-cac… 1. Call for Papers Cloud computing has been widely adopted to enable convenient access to a shared pool of computing resources. Nevertheless, as the distance between the cloud and the edge device is usually large, cloud computing services may not provide guarantees to low latency applications, and transmitting a large amount of data (e.g., in big data analytics) from the device to the cloud may not be feasible or economical. To address these issues, edge (fog) computing has been proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end users. Edge computing allows edge devices to perform computation offloading to offload their computational tasks to the edge server, which executes the computational tasks on behalf of the edge devices. Another new technology called information-centric networking (ICN) has been extensively studied in recent years. In-network caching is used in ICN to reduce the duplicate content transmission in networks. ICN-based caching has been recognized as one of the promising techniques for future wireless/wired networks. Recently, there is a phenomenal burst of research activities in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. From the perspective of applications (e.g., video), network, cache and compute are underlying resources enabling these applications. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on the performance of applications. The Workshop on "Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks" provides a forum that brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers to discuss up-to-date developments in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. The workshop invites submissions of unpublished works on (but not limited to) the following topics: Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Low-latency offload infrastructure Micro data cells/centers for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Cloudlets for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Supporting real-time multimedia services over edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Edge computing networks for wireless big data applications Machine learning based edge computing, caching, and offloading wireless networks Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and big data analytics in the edge of wireless network AI and machine learning for multimedia services Energy and spectrum efficient wireless network operations and wireless resource allocations via AI and machine learning algorithms Caching, and edge computing using software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) Architectures and protocols for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Designs and optimizations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information-centric and content-centric networks Information theory for caching and offloading Cache-enabled networks Computation offloading in networks Networks for cloud computing Networks for edge/fog computing Integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in 5G cellular networks Energy efficient hardware, software, networks and services QoS provisioning and resource management in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Modeling and performance evaluation of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Performance/complexity/cost tradeoff Pricing and billing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Security and privacy for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Green and sustainable edge computing, caching, and offloading Big data for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Signal processing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information theory for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Interdisciplinary research for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Studies for integrating D2D/M2M and IoT with edge computing, caching, and offloading Implementations and trails for edge computing, caching, and offloading Standards, policies, and regulations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading 2.

Some of these mission-critical applications include the utilization of ground sensor, robot and UAV networks, which are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless communications, robotics and control theory meet. Autonomous cooperative systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, the 5G architecture foresees explicitly the usage of these specialized systems and offer new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. Starting from the tradition of MiSeNet and WiSARN workshops, IEEE MiSARN 2018 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking, combining both research and practice. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshops topics. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications and cyber-physical systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Theoretical foundations, modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs - System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs - Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs - Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs - Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs - Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs - In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs - Localization, detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs - Cryptography, privacy, robustness, security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs - Internet and cloud computing, cloud of Things in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor-enabled robots and drones in mission-oriented WSNs - Wearable computing and human centricity in mission-oriented WSNs - Cyber-physical systems in mission-oriented WSNs - Theoretical foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems - Signal Processing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Mechanism Design for Cyber-Physical Systems - Control and Optimization of Cyber-Physical Systems - Data Mining and Analytics Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Game Theory Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Mobile and Cloud Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Security of Cyber-Physical Systems - Model-Based Design and Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems - Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs - Autonomous sensor networks - Emergent behavior in robotic systems - UAV-aided wireless sensor networks - Optimal control of networked robots - Robot advanced motion control - Modeling and control of fleet of UAVs - Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication in Robot and UAV networks - Sensor-robot and robot-robot coordination - Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols in Robot and UAV networks - Distributed control and management for Robot and UAV network deployments - Communication protocols for swarms of mobile nodes - Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots - Robot task assignment - Biologically inspired communication systems for Robot and UAV networks - Software-Defined Aerial Networks - Endurance Management - Ground sensors to UAVs communication and data gathering - Context-awareness and decision making for UAV systems - Path planning, and target tracking in UAV networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is required that the manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF file (formatted for 8.5-11 inch paper) as well as the requirement set by the EDAS paper submission system.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019
by Lars Wolf 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> Gesendet: 10. November 2018 14:43:48 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPER AT SIGCOMM 2019 The ACM SIGCOMM 2019 conference seeks papers making significant research contributions to the field of data communication networks and networked systems. The conference takes a broad view of networking research, which includes new ideas relating (but not limited) to: . Different network types, layers, and devices: o Wide-area, data-center, home, enterprise o Sensors and Internet of Things o Network access in remote or under-served areas o Wireless and mobility o Routers, middleboxes, network functions, end-host network stacks o Link and transport layers o Applications, including distributed systems and social networks o Virtual networks and SDNs o Future network architectures: clean slate and evolution . Aspects and properties of networks: o Correctness and performance o Security and privacy o Fault tolerance o Energy consumption o Usability o Emergent properties o Management o Resource allocation, provisioning and planning o Economics o Topology . Different evaluation methods: o Theory o Experiments o Measurement o Deployment and experience We expect submissions to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. We recognize that more novel concepts can be harder to fully develop and evaluate, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss the limitations of their ideas in addition to the benefits. Unlike some previous years, SIGCOMM 2019 will not have a separate experience track. However, we do encourage the submission of experience papers, particularly from industry, that provide detailed technical insight into real-world deployments of novel networking technologies and systems. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2019 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. For more information about SIGCOMM 2019, please see https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/. Submissions Submissions should report novel results that are supported by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. Submissions must be in 2-column, 10-point format and can be up to 12 pages long, with as many additional pages as necessary for references. New in 2019: Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, also not counting against the 12 pages). Appendices will not be considered in reviews, so we caution authors to ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. (For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result.) For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, code, etc. Detailed submission instructions can be found https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/submission.html. Ethical Concerns New in 2019: All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues. This could be simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or any potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harms to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Research Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the TPC will still evaluate ethical soundness of the work, just as they evaluate technical soundness. If there are questions about the ethics process, please contact the program committee co-chairs. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the TPC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise. Research Reproducibility ACM is promoting research reproducibility by encouraging papers to document the artifacts needed for others to reproduce their work. ACM has details at https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging. They will award accepted papers a â€œreproducibility badgeâ€ if the paper provides pointers to public code and other information as described at the above link. Authors who wish to participate in this process should document such information in an appendix to the paper. Information about reproducibility is not required at paper submission, but is required at camera ready. As an appendix, it will need to be provided to the shepherd with adequate time for review. While we encourage authors to participate, formal participation is not a factor in SIGCOMM reviewing. Important dates January 24, 2019, Abstract submission deadline January 31, 2019, Paper submission deadline May 10, 2019, Reviews returned to authors June 20, 2019, Camera-ready papers due August 19, 2019, Conference -------------------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 SIGCOMM 2019 plans to hold multiple one-day workshops in conjunction with the conference, to be held in Beijing, China, August 19-23, 2019. Workshops will take place on Monday, August 19 and Friday, August 23.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Datum: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 14:48:11 +0000 Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Antwort an: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Paris, France April 29, 2019 In order to handle the ever-increasing traffic load, existing wireless networks have typically been designed and planned with a focus on improving throughput and increasing coverage. Achieving ultra-low latencies – often together with unprecedented levels of reliability, has not been in the mainstream in most wireless networks, due to the focus on human-centric communications and delay-tolerant content. However, a plethora of socially useful applications and new uses of wireless communication are envisioned in areas such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), industrial control, automated driving or flying, mission-critical IoT, remote robotics, smart grid and tactile Internet. In response, new releases of mobile cellular networks (mainly focusing on 5G new radio and beyond) are envisaged to support scenarios with extremely strict requirements in terms of latency (ranging from 1 ms and below to few milliseconds end-to-end latency depending on the use cases). Low latency communication poses significant theoretical and practical challenges, requiring a departure from throughput-oriented system design towards a holistic view (network architecture, control, and data) for guaranteed and reliable end-to-end latency. Cooperative networking can maintain the robustness of network connectivity, since in cooperation, wireless nodes assist each other for improved connectivity and increased diversity. Most present systems employ centralized resource allocation, which is inappropriate for such applications though, as it relies on a significant control-layer overhead and incurs severe latency. The ULWWN workshop will be held in Paris on April 29, 2019, in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2019. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Low latency communication in mission-critical and emergency applications * Cooperative networks for achieving ultra-low latencies * Buffer-aided cooperative networks with stringent delay constraints * Fundamental limits, performance analysis, network theoretic approaches (e.g. stochastic network calculus, timely throughput) * Anticipatory network models for low-latency networking * Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for achieving ultra-low latencies * Edge caching and content replication for low latency * Network slicing and network function virtualization * Applications * Factory automation and industrial control * Tactile Internet * Industry 4.0 * Intelligent transportation * V2X communications * Remote robotics * Smart grid * eHealth * Mobile edge cloud computing * Safety-critical avionics The proposed workshop will provide a forum where researchers, technical experts, and practitioners could share the latest results and insights on how to achieve ultra-low latencies in wireless networks. In addition to presenting key and emerging results, the workshop (through its keynote, panel and regular sessions) is expected to identify new challenges and opportunities in this area. Submission Guidelines The ULLWN Workshop calls for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages. The review process is single blind. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper). Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files through the EDAS website. Important dates Submission: December 30th, 2018 Decisions: February 22nd, 2019 Camera ready: March 10th, 2019 Workshop Organizers Prof. Nikolaos Pappas (Linkoping University, Sweden) Prof. Themistoklis Charalambous (Aalto University, Finland) Dr. Marios Kountouris (Huawei Technologies, France) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Objects need to be smart, with enough intelligence to perform required operations. On the one hand, the objects should be able to deal with the possibly unpredictable and intense mobility and can wirelessly communicate with each other in a reliable and secure way. On the other hand, these objects must be socially aware, as we have witnessed a big growth in provisioning social network services including messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content sharing on mobile objects. The HotSALSA workshop focuses on experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of novel systems for smart objects and the social aspects of these systems in the emerging cooperative environments. We are seeking for original, previously unpublished work, addressing key issues and challenges in the social and mobile connected smart objects arena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - App concepts and algorithm design for mobile social applications and systems - Drone coordination and aerial communication - Interaction between mobile devices and cars - Location- and tracking-based mobile services and social networking - Measurement of social aspects in mobile systems and applications - Mobile centric social networking - Mobile edge/fog computing and networking - Mobile online advertising and payment - Pervasive and ubiquitous mobile social services - Playful social interaction: game, entertainment, and multimedia in mobile applications - Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems - Security and privacy in mobility-aware mobile social networks - Sensors and data collection for social networking applications - Smart cities and urban applications - Social aspects of Mobile AR/VR - User behavior analysis in mobile applications - Wearable devices and computing Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, social networks, or the intersection of both.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elisabetta Biondi <e.biondi(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Gesendet: 29. Oktober 2018 13:20:01 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Extended deadline: PMC journal SI on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) Call for papers Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 2.974) https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Edge Computing-Assisted Internet of Things (IoT) ***** Extended deadline: November 15, 2018 ******* Cloud has been popularly used for handling computation-intensive tasks and providing intelligence to distributed IoT devices. However, as the number of Internet-connected devices is dramatically growing, cloud shows its limit on handling the daunting amount of computation loads on the one hand and the network bandwidth for moving huge volume of data from end devices to cloud becomes the bottleneck on the other hand. Edge computing is an emerging paradigm to optimize cloud-IoT ecosystems for tackling both network bottleneck and reducing data volume. The basic idea behind the edge computing lies in that the data processing such as analytics and knowledge generation are performed in the proximity of data origins. One can see edge devices as small-scale clouds providing comparatively limited functionality and capability, as compared to the centralized cloud. The use of edge devices in the proximity of data origins thus improves network latency. Moreover, the amount of data that need to be processed by each edge device will be substantially less than the amount of data that need to be processed by single cloud. Despite numerous benefits from edge computing, this paradigm also brings new security and privacy challenges. While edge devices might be smartphones, smart gates, or even PC/laptop, together with the numerous kinds of end IoT devices such as smart watch (e.g., Apple iWatch), implantable medical devices (e.g., fitbit), voice assistants (e.g., Google Home), one can imagine various scenarios with sensitive data usage. For example, the smart watch collects sensitive physiological information. Meanwhile, distributed edge devices need to cooperate with each other without the involvement of the data center. These scenarios obviously result in a high concern of security and privacy, especially on, for example, access control of edge devices, data abuse/misuse, DoS resistance on edge devices. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent research on security and privacy of edge computing, with particular emphasis on security and privacy issues on edge/end devices. More specifically, we invite recent advanced research on privacy enhancing technologies and secure cryptographic techniques to address security and privacy challenges in the field of edge computing. The following themes are of particular interest: Authentication, auditing and accountability in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Edge computing architectures and solution design patterns Edge computing for IoT Communication and networking protocols for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Fine-grained access control mechanism in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-preserving computation in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Trust and reputation issues in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security architecture for Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Key management in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT IoT communication in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Incentive models or techniques for data processing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Privacy-Enhancing Cryptographic Techniques in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Security for Crowdsourcing in Edge Computing-Assisted IoT Guest Editors: Claudio A.

Authors are instructed to not include their names, affiliations and contact information on the manuscript they submit for review. Authors should also anonymize the content of their paper to hide their identity. Reviewers will not know the identity of the authors during the initial phase of the review process, however, anonymity will expire after the majority of the reviews have been submitted and preliminary outcomes decided. The identities of the authors will be revealed to the reviewers toward the end of the review process. Submissions who are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. *Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.* Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will submit a 1-minute video that presents their papers' contributions to a general audience. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference and may be played during the conference. Some of the videos will be featured on the social media channels related to the conference. Important Dates *Abstract Registration:* Friday 7th December 2018 -- 23:59 AOE *Paper Submission:* Friday 14th December 2018 -- 23:59 AOE *Notification of acceptance:* March 6th, 2018 Contact If you have any questions, please contact *Rajesh Balan (rajesh(a)smu.edu.sg <mailto:rajesh@smu.edu.sg>)* and *Nicholas Lane (nicholas.lane(a)cs.ox.ac.uk <mailto:nicholas.lane@cs.ox.ac.uk>)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Decentralised IoT Systems and Security - NDSS DISS Workshop 2019 Datum: Wed, 24 Oct 2018 21:01:27 +0000 Von: Psaras, Ioannis <i.psaras(a)UCL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Psaras, Ioannis <i.psaras(a)UCL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2019 NDSS Symposium Workshop Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2019) Call for Papers https://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~ipsaras/ndss-diss19.html The success of the Internet of Things (IoT) depends heavily on the extent of achieved interoperability, as well as on addressing the many security and privacy challenges. Due to the multitude of types of devices, systems, and protocols, and their scale of deployment and limited resources, some of these systems will be extremely challenging to interconnect and secure. The underlying edge network or edge-computing infrastructure, supporting the IoT, will also need to provide security and privacy guarantees. Given that IoT devices and edge networks are deployed by a multitude of players, decentralization has become a key enabling design goal of the system. For example, recent advances in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Blockchains can be incorporated to support decentralized security. In turn, decentralized security through distributed trust can help overcome privacy concerns and scalability bottlenecks, both of which are becoming increasingly serious in large-scale deployments, such as smart cities or Industry 4.0. A decentralized approach to IoT interconnection brings forth many opportunities, but also important challenges, e.g., in state synchronization, trust management, and the difficulties of operating with constrained devices and networking modes. Following the spirit of the NDSS Symposium, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to analyze and discuss the huge potential, but also the inevitable limitations of decentralized operation and security in the IoT space, in edge-computing, as well as in the wider mobile computing environment. The workshop will accept early-stage, novel ideas that are likely to trigger discussion. The proposed topics include the following: + Enabling secure interoperability across IoT ecosystems, including ++ Applying blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technology to IoT and edge network infrastructure ++ Security and availability in multi-tiered IoT edge networks ++ Peer-to-Peer (P2P) security and privacy in IoT ++ Decentralized trust and rights management, including access control ++ Decentralized authentication and access management at the IoT edge + Other topics related to decentralized security in IoT, such as ++ Security and privacy trade-offs related to IoT scalability and decentralization ++ Cryptocurrencies, crypto-assets and cryptoeconomics in IoT and edge-computing ++ Secure Service provisioning and migration in edge-computing environments ++ Sensor and Actuator Key Management and other Security Protocols ++ Smart Contracts for IoT, including formal verification of smart contracts ++ Application of concepts from outside of the IoT to decentralized IoT security ++ Usable security for decentralized IoT and edge-computing Submission Instructions ================== The workshop will accept papers between three to six pages in length, for publication in post-workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the Internet Society with the revised papers based on the workshop discussions and reviewer comments. Papers shall be submitted for review in print-ready form using the NDSS paper template and the review will be single blind. For a paper to be published, at least one of the authors must attend the entire workshop, the paper must be revised based on the discussion at the workshop, and the revised paper must be submitted in time for the publication deadline. Submissions and reviews will be handled by EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=diss2019 Important dates and venue ==================== Abstract submission: 07 December 2018 Paper Submissions Due: 14 December 2018 Decision Notice to Authors: 14 January 2019 The workshop is co-located with the 2019 NDSS Symposium, February 24-27, 2019 in San Diego, CA, USA.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Invitation to submit paper in PerAwareCity 2019 workshop, collocated with IEEE Percom 2019 conference Datum: Tue, 23 Oct 2018 14:43:25 -0400 Von: Gani, Md Osman <ganim(a)MIAMIOH.EDU> Antwort an: Gani, Md Osman <ganim(a)MIAMIOH.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ****************************************************** Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. ****************************************************** Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Pervasive Context-Aware Smart Cities and Intelligent Transportation Systems (PerAwareCity2019) [Along with IEEE Percom 2019] March 11/15, 2019, Kyoto, Japan -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Cities and urban areas are an ideal platform for researchers and practitioners to test new technologies, concepts and applications. In Europe and the US, the population living in urban areas accounts for more than 75 percent. As a consequence, applications that are targeting urban areas can positively impact a significant fraction of the population in terms of various social benefits. In addition, the majority of the planet’s resources are consumed in cities. This, in turn, creates a significant potential for reducing the environmental impact of mankind by enhancing and optimizing the physical infrastructure digitally. The ongoing advances in Pervasive Computing technology have delivered interesting hardware platforms that are suitable for city-scale infrastructure deployments. In addition, the success of mobile communication devices and mobile broadband connectivity enables citizens to tap into the digital resources that surround them anytime and anywhere. Another foremost important technology for building future generation of smart city applications is intelligent (real time) analytics and decision making by processing streaming sensor data available from the surrounding environment. Fleets of smart cars can be a distributed computational and sensing resource. Also, increasingly large crowds of people are being equipped with sensor-rich mobile and wearable devices, yielding Big Data arising from such environments, e.g., GPS data and social activity data, which can facilitate wide-scale crowd-sensing and crowdsourcing, contributing towards data acquisition in smart city applications. With such data, both centralized analytics and decentralized analytics could play a key role in data sense-making and decision making. Also, such analysis can be combined with data from increasingly deployed fixed sensors or IoT infrastructure in the city. Context-aware applications in the smart city are numerous, from transportation, energy, safety to low-carbon living. There are many context reasoning and data acquisition, analytics and knowledge management issues in ITS and smart cities, such as architectural and algorithmic issues, incentive mechanisms, energy-efficiency, data verification, complex pervasive computing interactions, cost efficiency, urban data issues, data privacy and security, to name a few. Recently researchers are actively engaged in finding the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in solving various data analytics and decision making problems related to Smart Cities which can benefit the society as a whole. E.g, (a) efficient water quality monitoring can ensure proper quality of water served for drinking, industry or agricultural purposes depending on specific requirements; (b) efficient healthcare assistant can track health status of elderly individuals staying alone in home to make decisions during emergency events through continuous learning; or (c) they can provide tailored services to patients in smart hospitals, (d) intelligently choosing proper sensor or communication interface depending on the data volume, communication requirement and importance of the event, (e) providing intelligent road traffic routing depending on action priorities of the user and based on the congestion condition which can further depend on weather or any other unexpected events, such as, accident, strike, etc. This workshop will focus on bringing together researchers and practitioners working on systems and applications in the Smart City domain. All the architectural, networking and decision making aspects will be investigated and discussed. Underlying structure of Smart City systems, including different possible architectural models such as peer-to-peer, location based, server oriented, and hybrid models will be studied. Almost all smart city related problems, which are important for the societal welfare, and could potentially be solved using AI techniques, can be presented in this workshop by researchers from industry and academia. In general, we want to focus on solutions of the following questions: (a) how to design city-scale smart systems with autonomous coordination capabilities; (b) how to develop intelligent decision making abilities in emergency and safety-critical systems or during medium and large-scale disasters, and (c) how to handle real-time conditions innovate computing technology for diverse societal applications to improve the human experience. We also hope to produce a post-workshop position paper providing a summary perspective and future directions for work in the area. A community of researchers and practitioners will also be created and nurtured via this workshop. Smart City as an emerging area attracts researchers to organize several thematic workshops and conferences. The 3rd IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Smart Cities and Urban Computing is focusing on bringing together researchers in the field of system, networking and communication to discuss major challenges, research problems, and potential applications to support smart cities and urban informatics. The First IEEE International Conference on Smart City Innovations (IEEE SCI 2017) focuses on smart city related applications and services. However, large scale data management and decision making for smart cities is not receiving enough attention. So, in this workshop, we propose to include the social good aspects of smart city applications using AI or ML techniques which are novel concepts and will be attractive to the community as a cross-disciplinary perspective. In summary, this workshop is unique (different from other ITS and smart city conferences) in its emphasis on the combination of context-aware computing, ITS and smart cities (IoT), and aims to maintain the important link between smart cities and pervasive computing. Therefore PerAwareCity solicits papers addressing relevant topics, including - but not limited to - the following: Smart City systems and platforms Experiences from real-world experiments and deployments Smart City applications, e.g. smart traffic management, smart healthcare, smart grid, smart waste management, Pollution control and management, Environmental sustainability, Water quality monitoring, Criminal activity profiling Crowdsourcing and human computation Internet of Things, Web and Linked Data technologies for Smart Cities Big data in Smart City, Smart City Intelligent Data Processing Cyber-physical systems and society End user involvement, acceptance and user support aspects Participatory sensing and processing Sensor, Actuators and their networking in Smart Cities Safety, security and privacy for Smart City applications Scalability of Smart City systems and beyond (Smart Regions / Countries) Adaptable, recoverable, and fault tolerant Smart City systems Management, configuration, and deployment of Smart City infrastructures, Smart Infrastructure Health Monitoring We also welcome papers on novel applications or environments that have a strong Smart City component, especially if those novel applications and environments challenge existing ideas and design techniques.

We would appreciate if you could circulate this email to colleagues and relevant mailing lists. Call for Papers With smart-phones in their pockets, more than 1 billion people now have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users who contribute sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII). Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large-scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches, which involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. At the same time, with the deployment of a tremendous number of sensing devices collecting a huge amount of data for smart cities, smart home, connected cars, e-halth or Industries, the Internet of Things is also facing similar challenges regarding data privacy, scalability, data processing or visualization. Thus, there is need to provide relevant data science tools for citizens in order to extract all the properties of the data and provide novel integrated services with data from the crowd or sensors. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing and crowdsourcing, as well as Internet of Things and sensed devices. Similarly to our past editions, CASPer 2019 will also feature an invited speech and a panel discussion devoted to the latest key developments in the crowdsensing and crowdsourcing domain. We invite original research contributions that advance the state-of-the-art as well as position papers, which pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets, e.g. big data analytics in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing - Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data - Trust and reputation systems for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data - Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data - Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks - Crowd assisted pervasive systems and communications - Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications - Citizen science and Data science tools for Crowdsourcing and Crowdsensing - Internet of Things, Decision Support System, sustainability support, prototyping, test-beds, and real-world implementations. Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10pt. font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings.

Topics of Interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers: - Communication and networking for wireless and embedded systems - Sensing, actuation, and control - Operating systems, middleware, and services - Processing, storage, and management of data - Programming paradigms, languages, and tools - Emerging computing platforms, e.g., drones and robots - Time and location management - Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety) - Sustainability (low-power operation, energy management, energy harvesting) - Privacy and security in applications and systems - Human-machine interaction with wireless and embedded systems - Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems - Measurement studies and deployment experiences Please ask the poster and demo co-chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits. Submission Instructions and Formatting Requirements Each submission will be reviewed by members of the poster and demo committees and evaluated based on its quality and potential to stimulate lively discussions during the conference. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be available in the ACM Digital Library. We adopt a single-blind review process for poster and demo abstracts. Please do not anonymize your submission and include name, affiliation, and contact information of all authors on the first page. A short abstract must be provided on the first page before the main body of the paper. Submission titles must start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ...", depending on the type of submission. Poster and demo abstracts must be submitted as a single PDF containing no more than 2 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Demos must include one additional page describing the setup of the demo (hardware used, space needed, special equipment, etc.). Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25". Submissions that do not meet these formatting requirements may not be reviewed. Authors may use the LaTex templates provided here: http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/ewsn-template.zip Poster or demo contributions to EWSN 2019 must be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsn2019pd We particularly encourage and welcome contributions from students submitting first results and early stage work. Madness Session Following the past years' convention, EWSN'19 will feature a 1-minute madness session, during which the author of every poster or demo may have EXACTLY one minute to introduce their work at the main conference venue. According to the past years’ experience, the 1-minute madness session is lively and interesting. The details of preparing the 1-minute madness presentation will be announced later.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) Datum: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 11:49:54 +0000 Von: Amirhosein Taherkordi <amirhost(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Amirhosein Taherkordi <amirhost(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ====================================================== DFSD 2019 The 1st Int. Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) Co-located with EWSN 2019 Feb. 25-27, 2019, Beijing, China http://ewsn2019.thss.tsinghua.edu.cn/workshops/dfsd2019.html CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================================================== Smart spaces, such as smart cities, are proliferating into a massive scale, thereby, IoT data, services and applications are being pressed to move to the Cloud. IoT Cloud integration has been recently extended from the core of the network to the edge of the network (i.e., Fog Computing) to address better mobility support, location-awareness and low latency. Developing applications using cloud and fog computing resources introduces many challenges with respect to programming, networking, and service abstraction and distribution. In particular, in large-scale IoT applications with massive number of services, the way to model, develop and distributed services at device-, fog-, and cloud-levels is a top priority design challenge in this area. Topics include but are not limited to: - Fog computing distributed architectures and frameworks - Programming models and abstractions for Fog - Dynamic programming models for Fog - Fog-level task and service modeling and distribution - Large-scale deployments and Fog - Distributed resource management models for Fog - Cloud and Fog integration - Middleware for Fog infrastructures - Fog mobility - Performance (low latency and scalability) - Heterogeneity and Interoperability of Fog devices *Organizers* Amir Taherkordi, University of Oslo, Norway Schahram Dustdar, TU Wien, Austria Lin Wang, TU Darmstadt, Germany *Important Dates* Paper submissions: Oct. 20, 2018 Notification: Nov. 30, 2018 Camera ready: Dec. 18, 2018 *TPC members* Boris Koldehofe, TU Darmstadt, Germany Etienne Elie, Intel, USA Bin Cheng, NEC Labs, Heidelberg, Germany Frank Eliassen, University of Oslo, Norway Shiqiang Wang, IBM T.J.
