According to the American Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the majority of the victims in many different scenarios are untrained rescuers and even professional first responders. Accurate information gathered from sensors may allow first-responders and volunteers to make better and faster decisions, understand the situation, identify the rescue actions with higher success probability, correctly allocate resources such as number of ambulances, and prevent or mitigate personal risks. Today, even commonly available technologies, such as cellular phones, could save many lives if properly adopted. There is a compelling need of exploring the feasibility of new technologies, explicitly designed for working in emergency scenarios. Recently in this wide context, the aerial communication has significantly progressed due to longer battery life-time, new international law regulations and microelectronics evolution with lower prices and higher performance. In particular, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can easily and quickly reach far-away locations, scan carefully the area looking for injured people and autonomously create a communication bridge between first responder networks and victims. However, there are several unaddressed challenges on both communication and computational means that might further improve the reactiveness and efficiency of the first response after a natural disaster or human-driven threat. The workshop is focused on main upcoming activities about the involvement of UAVs as emergency communication means during emergency situations. It is open to both scientific and industrial communities, and will disclose the latest research achievements in the research field of fine-grained localization, advanced communication between moving objects and optimal UAV-cell coverage. The main motivation is to gather people involved in public safety innovative actions, encompassing both the mathematical frameworks and realistic solutions to bring intelligence and efficiency on board of UAVs. The scope of the workshop includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: - Integration of aerial recovery networks in 5G New Radio (5G-NR) - Design and Implementation of self-organized aerial networks for disaster recovery - Mobility and traffic predictions for Disaster recovery networks - Edge and Fog computing for the Disaster recovery aerial networks - Energy management strategies for public safety networks - Trajectory planning and handover management for public safety aerial networks - Network slicing for aerial public safety networks to support low-latency response - Advanced localization technique using UAVs - Age-of-Information aware scheduling for public safety networks - Dynamic spectrum allocation and overlay network formation for public safety networks - Mobility diversity enhancement mechanisms for UAV networks - Experimental case-studies and simulation frameworks for public safety networks - Performance characterization for aerial public safety networks.

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

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Physical Communications: Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management (IF: 1.522) Datum: Sat, 2 Feb 2019 01:41:04 -0500 Von: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Mission Critical Communications and Networking for Disaster Management Deadline: June 1, 2019 CFP: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/physical-communication/call-for-papers/sp… In recent years, since 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) is giving high priority to the mission critical communications networks and services to provide communication services in disaster areas. Because, the disaster management organizations such as fire brigades, rescue teams, and emergency medical service providers have high priority and broadband demand to exchange information among team and with the victims by using mission-critical voice and data communication. To fulfill these demands, a standalone architecture is desired that can enable communication during the disaster situations. Moreover, broadband in public safety gives law enforcement the advantage to access information, stream video, and collaborate in real time. Law enforcement and border control remains the largest application of public safety LTE. To develop the standalone architecture and technologies, currently many organizations are developing LTE-based disaster support architecture because of its capability to provide the bandwidth efficient solutions. Technologies used in existing narrowband critical communications networks such as Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) and Project25 (P25) have been in use for about 20 years now. These networks are well developed and effective in supporting only voice applications but are not suitable for future higher bandwidth applications with the requirements of high data/video transmissions. Thus, the MC services are expected to evolve into the future by taking inputs from critical communications industries regarding architecture, technologies, and service requirements. Since, in disaster situation there is a possibility of complete architectural disaster, so to enable voice/data communication in this situation, the unmanned air vehicle (UAV)/robots can be used to provide the communication setup by enabling the path towards the core network. Moreover, Device-to-Device (D2D), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are the key drivers in the emergency situation for exchanging information from the MC site in the absence of network infrastructure to provide MC voice and data services. To provide these services 3GPP included the Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) functionality into LTE standard which is the first major step in a series of MC Services and functionalities demanded by the market. Recently, 3GPP Release 14 added various enhancements to its repertoire related to MCPTT, MC Data, and MC Video. Hence, the Release 14 MC services not only required new protocols and security enhancements but also enhancements in existing MCPTT services to enable reuse of common functionalities. Similarly, the Release 15, that will be the first phase of 5G, is expecting more enhancements in MC services. The main objective of this special section is to bring most recent advances in physical layer of mission critical communication technologies. Moreover, its goal is to address the challenges related to mission critical services. Authors are required to submit previously unpublished papers in this special issue. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: • Physical layer issues for mission critical communications and network • Radio resource management schemes for mission critical communications and network • Spectrum sharing and future spectrum requirements for mission critical communications and network • UAV/robots detection and localizations protocols for mission critical communications and network • Location-based services: indoor positioning, navigation and mapping for mission critical communications and network • Stochastic geometry models for mission critical communications and network • Disaster resilient 3D location detection protocols suitable for mission critical communications and network • Channel measurements and modeling for mission critical communications and network • Mission critical communications and network optimization by targeting low latency applications • Opportunistic offloading schemes for mission critical communications and network • Device-to-device (D2D) discovery and communications for mission critical communications and network • Full duplex communications for mission critical communications and network • Deep learning algorithms for mission critical communications and network • Real-time video analytics for situation-aware mission critical communications and network • Information-driven video communication for mission critical communications and network • Heterogeneous fog communications and computing for mission critical communications and network • Connected vehicle and computing platform for mission critical communications and network • Wireless power transfer protocols for mission critical communications and network • Software defined radio (SDR) based prototype development for mission critical communications and network Editor in Chief Tolga M.

June 10-13, 2019 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Italy Section) *IoTNAT 2019 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2019) Symposium will be held in conjunction with The Second International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2019).

We look forward for your high quality submissions. Best regards, Marilia Curado & Giacomo Tanganelli ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IoT-SoS 2019 8th IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2019 <http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2019> co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2019 June 10, 2019 WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES EDAS Submission Link: https://edas.info/N25775 <https://edas.info/N25775> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. 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.

We cite as example of CPS smart grid in energy sector, smart factory and industry 4.0, intelligent transportation systems, healthcare and medical systems, and robotic systems. The CPSs offer very complex interaction between heterogeneous cyber and physical components; additionally to this complexity they are exposed to important disturbances due to unintentional and intentional events which lead the prediction of their behaviors (categorized as "Normal" or "Faulty") a very difficult task. Meanwhile, cyber security for CPS is attracting the attention of research scientists in both industry and academia since the number of cyber-attacks have increased and their behaviors have become more sophisticated commonly known as zero-day threats. Conventional cyber security mechanisms, such Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), and access control have not the capability to detect, prevent and block this category of cyber-attacks since the zero-day threats exhibit an unknown misbehavior that are not defined in signatures’ database of the security systems. Recently, a new era of cyber security mechanisms based on Artificial Intelligent (AI) are under development to protect the CPSs from these zero-day attacks. In the context of cyber security, the machine learning technologies are used to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources of information with a goal of generating automatically different attacks patents and hence predict accurately the future attackers’ misbehavior. Meanwhile, game-theoretic approaches have been used in the context of cyber defense to solve the decision-making issues (i.e., the suspect device is an attacker or not) and attacks prediction. In decision-making issue, the cyber security game is used to study the interaction between the security agents (e.g., IDS and IPS) and their opponents (e.g. attackers) with a goal to determine the optimal decision making of security agent to classify the suspected opponent as attacker or not. Preventing the occurrence of zero-day attacks requires the collaboration between different AI systems including machine learning and game theory, as well as security expert intervention. In fact, the involving of human intervention in the decision-making leads an improvement of attacks detection since the purpose of human-machine interaction is to reduce the number of false positives. Another example to illustrate the migration of security solutions to use more intelligent principles and technologies, the Identity Management & Access control (IAM) which switch from a simple login/password checking to voice and facial recognition. This Special Issue (SI) aims to bring together researchers from academic and industrial to share their visions of the AI application in cyber security context, present challenges and recent works and advances related to AI-based cyber security applied to CPSs. Potential topics include, but not limited to the following: * Design and verification of AI-based security solutions, * Impact of AI-based security solutions on CPS performances, * Safety of AI-based security solutions. * IDS/IPS based on machine learning, * IDS/IPS based on deep and reinforcement learning, * Cyber security game to protect the CPS, * Authentication and Access Control, * AI modeling for attack behavior, * Attacks prediction based on machine learning and game theory, * Human-machine interaction in the context of cyber security, * Application of AI-based security in internet of things and transportation segments * AI-based Solution for Physical layer security Important dates: ---------------------- *Manuscript Submission Deadline:*1 May 2019 *Initial Decision:* 1 August 2019 *Revised Manuscript Due:* 1 September 2019 *Decision Notification:* 1 November 2019 *Final Manuscript Due:* 1 December 2019 *Publication Date:* May 2020 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Paper Submission Guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/netmag/paper-submission-guidelines>.

Continuous connectivity empowers these devices to socialize with each other by sharing information from distinct sources. IoT has played a profound role in diverse domains of life ranging from healthcare to agriculture, education to enterprise and transportation to engineering and many more. A progressive embracement of IoT by industry and individuals has enabled the realization of concepts such as Smart Cities and Smart Industries that were considered a mere dream decade ago. Further, mobility in IoT brings a lot of challenges when it comes to providing generic frameworks, protocols, applications and services such as uncertainty, dynamicity, disruptions, scalability and reliability etc. Highly mobile objects have tendency to change their context at a rapid pace that brings the challenge of realizing the applications that require contextual information for their operations and functionality. Generating context information requires extensive data analysis, high energy consumption, intelligent sensing and large storages to ensure appropriate information dissemination entities involved in the system. Context-aware mobility has gained tremendous attention with the advent of new generation of portal devices, e.g., smart phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness bands and smart cars etc. Change in the context can significantly transform the overall outcome of the system based on the devices, users, applications and environmental parameters. Recent advancements in IoT are still in their fancy and require standardization, benchmarking, architectural designs, models, guidelines, policies and measurement criteria for development and deployment of context-aware applications and services. This special issue is expected to provide a platform for academics and industry researchers to identify and debate enabling technologies, technical and non-technical challenges and recent accomplishments associated with contextaware mobility in IoT. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: • Architectural Design for Context-Aware Mobile IoT systems • Data Processing and Analytics for Mobile Contextualization • Context-aware mobility in IoT using Fog Computing • Security, Privacy and Trust Management in Context-aware Mobility • Social and Ethical implications of Context-aware Mobility in IoT Devices • Applications and Use Case Scenarios of Context-aware Mobile IoT Systems • Communication Technologies for Mobile IoT based on Context Intelligence • Context-Aware Mobility in Transportation • Context-Aware Mobility in Healthcare • Context-aware Mobility based Business Models for IoT applications • Wearable IoT based applications for context intelligence The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: (Hard Deadline Feb 5) IEEE VTC Workshop, Heterogenous Mobile/Multi-Access Edge Computing Datum: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 05:15:39 -0500 Von: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Xun Shao <x-shao(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG OVERVIEW ======== The recent development of wireless networking and mobile cloud computing initiates an emerging cyber system called mobile/multi-access edge computing (MEC). MEC moves computing and data processing capability from distant cloud datacenters to edge servers that are closer to the mobile devices to offer users the lowest possible latency, the highest possible bandwidth, and direct access to real-time network services. Although MEC is expected to largely improve the QoE for mobile users, it is challenging to realize and utilize the MEC systems effectively and efficiently due to its inherent heterogeneities. First, since a typical MEC datacenter is composed of heterogenous resources such as CPU/GPU clusters, FPGAs, programable network routers, etc., this heterogeneity is big challenge to the traditional orchestration systems. In addition, due to the differences in scales, architectures, and Internet access technologies, it is challenging to realize the coordination of multiple MEC datacenters for conducting complicated tasks. Finally, the applications using MEC are also heterogenous. Different applications have different objectives and metrics, and correspondingly different flavors to specific MEC servers. Therefore, joint optimization of multiple applications and the MEC orchestration has to be considered. Addressing these issues efficiently will have significant importance to the future mobile computing and communications technologies. The objective of this workshop is to identify and address the challenges and opportunities of developing and utilizing HMEC. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - Theory, architecture, platform, application, and tools for MEC - Cloud computing and MEC in heterogenous environment - Novel network architecture, protocol, and the other related technologies for MEC - Vehicular network technologies employing MEC - Heterogenous networks - Theory, platform, and applications of Internet of things based on MEC - Energy harvesting technologies and communications related to MEC - Safety, security, and privacy for MEC - Cooperative computing and communications for heterogenous MEC - The practice and experience of Proof-of-Concept projects of MEC - Related future trends and emerging technologies of MEC All manuscripts should be converted to PDF format and uploaded to the Trackchair system. Each submission must be at most 5 pages in length and conforms to the double-column template provided by IEEE. You can download a template from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC Spring 2018 Conference Proceedings (Ei Compendex source) and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) 2019 - Co-located with IEEE WoWMoM Datum: Wed, 30 Jan 2019 08:16:20 -0500 Von: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> Antwort an: Eyuphan Bulut <ebulut(a)VCU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE ***** MARCH 11, 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS MESN 2019 1st IEEE Workshop on Mobile Energy Sharing Networks (MESN) https://sites.google.com/vcu.edu/mobile-energy-sharing-networks co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2019 June 9-12, 2019 WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES EDAS Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25783 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Energy is a scarce resource in any mobile and wireless networks that consist of devices/vehicles mainly powered by their batteries. Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques, either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks. The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not limited to: · Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks · Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks · Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks · Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks · Incentive models for energy sharing by peers · Energy trading and economy models among peers · Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks · Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks · Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks · Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks · Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers · Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Manuscripts must be written in English, are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the IEEE template format available here. All accepted papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend and present his/her work at the workshop.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [NewNets 2019 co-located with WF-IoT, Limerick, Ireland] Deadline extended! Datum: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:40:46 +0000 Von: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> Antwort an: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WF-IoT) April 15, 2019 - Limerick, Ireland https://newnets2019.github.io/ !!!DEADLINE EXTENDED!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing both sensing and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The 1st on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets) brings together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - protocol design; - hardware platform design; - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication; - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions; - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming); - radio resource management; - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned; - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing; - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. 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. Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX. 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. Paper submission deadline [EXTENDED!]: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 (11:59:59PM EST) Notification to authors: Sunday, February 17, 2019 Camera-ready submission deadline: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 ORGANIZERS TPC Co-chairs: Oana Iova (INSA Lyon, France) Ramona Marfievici (Nimbus Research Center, Ireland) Usman Raza (Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK) TPC MEMBERS Matteo Ceriotti (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) Victor Cionca (Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland) Evgeny Khorov (IITP RAS and NRU HSE, Russia) Gaia Maselli (University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy) Konstantin Mikhaylov (University of Oulu, Finland) Georgios Papadopoulus (IMT Atlantique, France) Rajeev Pyiare (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy) Vijay Rao (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) Felix Sutton (ABB Corporate Research, Switzerland) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Ambuj Varshney (Uppsala University, Sweden) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) Datum: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:52:52 -0500 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *[Please accept apologies for cross-postings, share the news and thanks for your attention.]* ========================================== The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) May 14th-17th, 2019, Larnaca, Cyprus In conjunction with The 19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) http://www.cloudbus.org/fog/icfec2019/ ========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The organizing committee is delighted to invite paper submissions for the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC), that will be held as part of IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating "things" from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronic and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latencies and bandwidth costs. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for computing resources from emerging applications such as IoT, academics and industry experts are now advocating to supplement large cloud data centers with micro data centres. These micro data centres, also called Fogs, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user (in the spatial and/or network topology) than cloud data centres. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize such edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out at the cloud. Referred to as "Fog/Edge computing", this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments, make use of opportunistic and cheap computing, and leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. On the one hand, the development of fog and edge computing infrastructure requires examining operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. On the other hand, the use of fog and edge computing paradigm requires extensions to current programming models and development of new abstractions that will allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from such massively distributed systems. This also opens up other challenges in: security, privacy and trust of the edge and fog resources; resource management for mobile, transient and constrained resources; distributed data, state and context management; and emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and deep learning over such platforms. TOPICS ------ The conference seeks to attract research contributions covering both theory and practice over system software and domain-specific applications in these areas. Some representative topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Programming Models for Internet of Things (IoT) & Fog/Edge environments IoT gateways and hubs: architecture, performance, deployment Performance models for integration IoT & Cloud systems Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing Middleware for IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Scheduling for IoT, Fog/Edge resources Storage and metadata management for Fog/Edge Computing Monitoring/metering of IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Real-time, locality-sensitive and mission-critical applications Legal and management/governance issues Security, privacy and trust Modelling and simulation environments Important Dates --------------- Early Submission [Closed] Papers due: November 30, 2018 (Extended to December 21, 2018) [closed] Author notifications of Acceptance: February 8, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Regular Submission [Open] Papers due: January 31, 2019 Author notifications of Acceptance: March 15, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Registration will be aligned with CCGRID Deadlines: http://www.ccgrid2019.org Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format for peer-review.

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] EAI GOODTECHS 2019 - 5th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good Datum: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:49:21 +0100 Von: Giacomo Quadrio <gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * GoodTechs 2019 * * 5th EAI International Conference on * Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good * * September 25-27, 2019 * * Submissions due: March 15, 2019 * ******************************************************************** SCOPE ====== By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more. In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it. In GOODTECHS we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. Topics Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas: - App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms - Blockchain for social good - Communication between mobile devices - Content Distribution - E-learning solutions - Data collection, organization and dissemination methods - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Deployment and field-testing - Digital tools for art and feelings - Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation - Experimental results of communication testbeds - Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications - Health and social care - Human-object interaction - ICT for development - Mobile service architectures and frameworks - Mobility and handover management - New application scenarios for vehicular communications - Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT - Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices - Privacy issues and solutions - Protocol design, testing and verification - Security issues, architectures and solutions - Smart cities and transportation - Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business - Smart governance and e-administration - Smart living and E-health - Technology addressing the digital divide PUBLICATION =========== All registered papers will be published by ACM and made available through ACM Digital Library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for papers: VTC2019-Spring Kuala Lumpur: Communications for Networked Smart Cities. Datum: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 10:27:46 +0000 Von: Syed Ali Hassan <0000003c60556067-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Ali Hassan <ali.hassan(a)SEECS.EDU.PK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 5th International Workshop on Communications for Networked Smart Cities (CorNer) *in Conjunction with IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Spring) 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia* _________________________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: The demands for high data rates and ultra-reliable coverage become demanding issues due to increase number of population in the world by 2020. The huge demand for high quality life makes the administrator and the governments to put carefully planning in cities in a smarter way. As a premier agent for stimulating a quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city phenomenon has recently seized the imagination of the academia and the industry significantly. As the Internet of things (IoT) and Tactile Internet are predictable to be a primary driving force for future cities, advanced communication methods will play a crucial role in assisting real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, smart cities will also have to function within the limitations of the national economy and available resources. Consequently, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many and varied. In general, low energy consumption, constrained bandwidth, latency and budgetary limitations are predominate. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new ideas and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral, latency and monetary terms are presented to achieve a robust environment monitoring and sustainable transportation network, among other provisions. This led the researchers to pave the way for future wireless networks under the umbrella of 5G communications as well. This is an amalgamation of a multitude of technologies ranging from device-level algorithms such as low power transmissions to system-level architectures such as software-defined networking (SDN), the challenges posed by each of these techniques are critical. The smart city idea is also known to work at the intersection of various techniques such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, full-duplex transmissions and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts with interest in emerging smart cities related areas. The recent advancement in smart cities has boosted the development of a new generation of highly-efficient mobile networks. After the successful editions of this workshop in renowned venues, this workshop will highlight the recent developments in this evolving area. It will provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and research collaboration. Topic are not limited to the following areas: *5G oriented smart cities *Big data and cloud computing in smart cities *Internet of things and automation in smart cities *Cognitive radio in smart cities, and ultra-dense network *Energy harvesting technologies and communications *Communication in smart grid and green communications and computing *Novel network architecture design *Resource-efficient cross-layer optimization *Cooperative communications, mmWave and Massive MIMO design for transmissions *Energy-efficiency and spectral-efficiency *Antennas design and channel modeling *Machine-to-machine communications and Smart Drones Communications *Safety, security, and privacy for smart Cities *Smart transportation systems and infrastructure (V2V, V2I) *Applications, deployments, test-beds and experimental experience for communications in smart cities Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Spring 2019 Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] SIGCOMM 2019 Submission Deadline Approaching Datum: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 23:30:12 +0800 Von: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> Antwort an: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 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 "reproducibility badge" 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 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things [DEADLINE EXTENDED!] Datum: Wed, 9 Jan 2019 02:02:07 +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 in both IEEE Xplore and the ACM Digital Library 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. Please, use the default ACM template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) for conference proceedings (9pt font). 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.

It is also one of the flagship event of ACM SIGOPS, the Special Interest Group in Operating Systems. It is organized by the European SIGOPS chapter of the same name. The next edition of EuroSys will take place in Dresden, Germany from 25 to 28 March, 2019. https://www.eurosys2019.org Following a successful tradition, the first day of EuroSys (March 25) will feature no less than five workshops: the EuroSys Doctoral Workshop (EuroDW) and four workshops in the areas of systems security (EuroSec), edge systems, analytics and networking (EdgeSys), principles and practice of consistency for distributed data (PaPoC) and systems for multi-core and heterogeneous architectures (SFMA). https://www.eurosys2019.org/workshops/ All workshops are now accepting submissions. Details can be found below and on the workshop websites. ===== 13th EuroSys Doctoral Workshop (EuroDW 2019) ===== https://www.eurosys2019.org/workshops/eurodw2019/ The goal of the workshop is to provide feedback and advice to PhD students both on technical aspects of their research as well as career development. Research topics of interest include “systems” work in the broadest sense, including work on formal foundations, as well as the design, implementation and evaluation of real systems. EuroDW 2019 will also offer the opportunity for what we call “mentoring moments.” The idea is to give graduate students a chance to talk one-on-one (or, in some cases, one-on-two) about their research with outstanding researchers beyond those available at the students’ universities. Note: the workshop is not a venue for publication; there will be no published proceedings. Important Dates: - Submission (EXTENDED): January 18th, 2019 (23:59 hrs CET) - Acceptance notification: January 30th, 2019 Workshop Chairs: - Sonia Ben Mokhtar, LIRIS, INSA de Lyon - Mark Silberstein, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology ===== 12th European Workshop on Systems Security (EuroSec 2019) ===== https://www.threat-arrest.eu/html/eurosec-2019/ EuroSec 2019 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security of computer systems and networks. The objective of the workshop is to discuss novel, practical, systems-oriented work. EuroSec encourages systems security researchers to share early iterations of bleeding-edge ideas with the community, before they are further developed into full papers. Reciprocally, authors receive feedback to help steer and improve their research to its full potential. Many EuroSec papers later form the basis for full conference papers presented at one of the top venues in computer security. EuroSec seeks contributions on all aspects of systems security.

The aim is twofold. First, it should provide PhD students in any phase of their career with an opportunity to discuss their topics with experts and gain general feedback as well as specific comments on their proposal. Second, the PhD Forum is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to start a personal network with other PhD students as well as with already established experts. What can I expect? A full-day event of discussions and fun with your direct peers, and visibility at the main conference. The aim of the PhD Forum is to discuss research topics and PhD projects at different stages (early to senior). The PhD forum involves the discussion of meta aspects and experiences in course of a PhD. To tailor the discussion of meta aspects, we will request input from the participants in advance of the PhD Forum. In contrast to previous years, we will also have two keynote speakers who will report about their research journey from a PhD student to a leading expert. Dr. Johann Schlamp (Leitwert) will talk about building an Internet-scale measurement infrastructure and Dr. Heiko Will (Safety io) will talk about innovation and development of advanced solutions from a software perspective. In addition to the PhD Forum, a presentation of all participants will take place during a poster session at the main conference. A brief introduction of the topics (One-Minute-Madness) is used to attract attention of conference participants to this poster seesion. The PhD Forum is a special opportunity to discuss research plans and results face-to-face with professors and senior researchers in individual groups outside of the own lab. What should I submit? Prospective participants should prepare an application that includes the following information: - Research Statement: a two-page abstract (IEEE, at least 10pt font, 2-column format) that sketches the research proposal of the PhD student, the contribution to knowledge, and how the research will advance the state of the art. The research proposal will not appear in the official conference proceedings but is planned to be published on the conference web page. - Curriculum Vitae: a brief CV that lists the education and research interests of the PhD student. Please provide us with a single PDF document. Upload your application via https://phdforum.netsys2019.org. In addition, a poster has to be presented at the main conference in a special PhD poster session.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Datum: Mon, 7 Jan 2019 14:02:42 +0000 Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Antwort an: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, We are very pleased to announce that the 2019 IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN 2019) will be held on April 29, 2019, in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2019. --------------------------------------------------- Scope and Topics of Interest --------------------------------------------------- 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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - 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. --------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------------------------------- 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: http://edas.info/N25584 --------------------------------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------------------------------- Submission: January 18th, 2019 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) --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Steering Committee --------------------------------------------------- Prof. Gustavo de Veciana (The University of Texas at Austin, USA) Prof. I-Hong Hou (Texas A&M University, USA) Prof. Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (EURECOM, France) Best regards, The ULLWN 2019 Organizers ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
