-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) Datum: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:33:49 +0000 Von: Ignacio Castro <i.castro(a)QMUL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Ignacio Castro <i.castro(a)QMUL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Are you a undergraduate/graduate student? Consider submitting your original research to the ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition by May 21, 2018. (apologies for multiple postings) ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) Introduction The ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research before a panel of judges and attendees at well-known ACM-sponsored and co-sponsored conferences. Winners of the ACM SIGCOMM SRC at SIGCOMM will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. The SRC, including a small travel budget for each participant, is sponsored by Microsoft Research. How does the competition work? The ACM SRC at SIGCOMM organizes two distinct competitions for undergraduate and graduate students. The timeline of the competition is as follows: 1. Pre-selection: Students submit their work as a poster/demo here. See eligibility criteria below. 2. 1st round "Poster session": The selected students register to the conference and present their work in front of the conference attendees. Specifications on poster size and content will be defined by the SRC chairs. Students are expected to discuss their work with evaluators who visit their presentation areas. Each evaluator will rate the student's visual presentation based on the criteria of uniqueness of the approach, the significance of the contribution, visual presentation, and format of presentation. The evaluation criteria used can be found under General Judging Criteria<https://src.acm.org/judging>. 3. 2nd round "Presentation session": A separate session is scheduled for semi-finalists to give a ten minute presentation followed by a five minute question and answer period. This session will be attended by the evaluators and any interested conference attendees. The top three finalists in each category will be chosen based on these presentations. 4. Announcement of Three Finalists In Each Category (Undergraduate and Graduate): This usually takes place at a well-attended session of the conference. Each student will receive their prize after the conference. The first place winners will compete in the Grand Finals, which takes place toward the end of the program year. 5. The Grand Finals: The undergraduate and graduate first place winners from all SRCs for the program year compete in the Grand Finals. More information here. Who is eligible? You have to submit a poster or demo abstract to SIGCOMM (Poster and Demo page<https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2018/cf-posters.html>). Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission, and be the lead student author of the project. If a graduate or undergraduate student is part of a group research project and wishes to participate in an SRC, they will be required to submit a separate write-up describing their individual contribution to the group research project if they are selected (we can decide whether we want the write-up to be submitted at the demo/poster deadline or later), and present it during the first and second round "poster" and "presentation" sessions (see the above section). Following the same spirit, in case of demo submissions, the student contributions should be clearly defined. Submissions must be original research that is not already published at another conference or journal (e.g., please do not submit your dissertation summary as your abstract). One of the goals of the SRC is to give students feedback on ongoing, unpublished work. Note that submissions based on work accepted at this SIGCOMM will not be considered eligible. The SRC does count as a presentation venue, and submitting the work that is being submitted at other venues would violate the ACM SIGCOMM duplicate submission policy. You can only participate in one ACM SIGCOMM SRC per year. Selected students must register to the ACM SIGCOMM conference. How to participate? The ACM SIGCOMM poster and demo sessions will also serve as an ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition. To enter the first stage of the SRC, submit a poster or demo abstract. SRC submissions should be at most 100 word abstracts. Submissions should not exceed the minimum between two (2) pages and 800 words. If a submission has multiple authors, please provide the name of your advisor or supervisor when submitting the paper. The candidate student should be the first author. While not mandatory, entrants are encouraged to submit a letter from their advisor/supervisors describing the specific contributions made by the student. Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions (students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates). Tick the corresponding box when submitting your work. A small travel supplement of 500 USD is made available to accepted SRC entrants; please also submit applications for travel grant support.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing as well as challenged IoT. This workshop builds on the success of the twelve previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in new directions of challenged networking in concrete application scenarios and demonstrators in areas such as autonomous driving, underwater robots, emergency response operations, underground mining, interplanetary missions, polar research and unmanned aerial vehicles. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing * Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks * Communication systems and networks for underground mining * Underwater communication systems and networks * Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Networking in polar regions * Millimeter Wave Networking * Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing * Mobile data offloading via challenged networks * Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing * Challenged networking in the Internet of Things * Challenged networking in Cyber-Physical Systems * Software-defined networking in challenged environments * Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks * Space-terrestrial networks, lunar networks as well as interplanetary networks * Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks * Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments * Network coding in challenged networks * Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use * Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) * User Interfaces and interactive applications optimized for Challenged Networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ General Paper Format: Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE PIMRC 2018 W5 - Workshop on Small Data Networks Datum: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:46:28 +0200 Von: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, you are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE PIMRC 2018 Workshop on Small Data Networks http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/ <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/> “Small data” refers to a rising paradigm in modern wireless networks, pointing to information exchanged by smart devices and sensors in the broad context of machine-type communications. Small data sets span typically from metering data and status reports to remote commands and data generated and transmitted within the IoT. They are generally produced by a multitude of devices which access the communication infrastructure sporadically, generating a massive amount of short packets that have to be received with high reliability, exploiting the available spectrum resources efficiently even in absence of coordination. In such a framework, the design of the network protocol departs from conventional approaches used for predictable and persistent data sources. Major changes have to be applied to the physical and the medium access control (MAC) layers to account for the sporadic nature of the transmissions, touching all basic aspects from signal detection, channel estimation, coding and modulation up to the medium sharing policies and possibly involving the higher layers of the communications stack. While traditional protocols treat interference as a waste and therefore are designed to avoid them, in recent years several innovative developments have been proposed, such as physical layer network coding and various techniques based on successive interference cancellation (SIC), where interference is instead embraced and creatively utilized. These developments have opened a completely new perspective for uncoordinated protocols, paving the way to dramatic performance improvements, and rendering the throughput of interference-limited channels competitive with respect to that of systems relying on predictable data sources. This is calling for new studies on the fundamental limits as well as on finding optimal ways of designing waveform, signal-processing algorithms, error correcting schemes and access protocols, and on theoretical tools to drive the system design. Research in the field is further buttressed by clearly defined market- driven goals from the industry, in the quest for highly reliable, highly efficient, low-complexity access solutions for a massive number of devices. The road towards 5G and more generally machine-type communications represent only some relevant application examples where upcoming research has the potential to leave a fundamental mark. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate new contributions to the topic, with emphasis on cross-layer interactions between the MAC and PHY layers of the protocol stack, as well as on the connections to coding and information theory. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fundamental limits on communications for small data sets • Channel coding and modulation for sporadic transmissions • Error control coding for ultra-reliable communications • Network coding in multiple access schemes • Successive interference cancellation in MAC protocols • Wireless access protocols for vehicular networks • Wireless access protocols for machine type communications, large-scale sensor networks, and IoT • Innovative techniques for 5G and IoT radio access networks • Efficient access schemes for short-packet communications • Energy efficient MAC-PHY spatial processing • Channel estimation and user detection for massive access Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit technical papers of their previously unpublished work. Accepted workshop papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings and will be uploaded to IEEE Xplore.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Practical experiences from innovative real-world sensor network deployments and applications - Hands-on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments - Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks - Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Experiences with energy harvesters and energy-sustainable designs - Deployment, installation, and configuration support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments - Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures - Real-world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber-physical systems - Sensor networking for smart power grids - Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Regular (full) papers (10 pt font in two-column IEEE format) should present novel perspectives and match with at least two of the topics of interest of the workshop. Papers are expected to be 6 pages long, yet submissions of up to 8 pages are allowed. Papers in excess of this limit will not be considered for review or publication. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS at: <http://edas.info/N24451> All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extended to 5 May 2018 - Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal (IF=3.04) -- Special Issue on Recent advances on Security and Privacy in Intelligent Transportation Systems Datum: Sun, 8 Apr 2018 07:24:52 -0400 Von: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Husain Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Deadline Extended: May 05, 2018] Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for Special Issue in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal . Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-i… Scope and Motivation: ---------------------- The rapid evolution of communications technologies together with the variety and potential availability of network access mediums and service providers have led to the emergence of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). There is a large variety of ITS networks spanning from mobile ground networks, e.g. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) to aerial ground networks, e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. VANET is a kind of ITS networks where a vehicle is a connected car equipped with various communications technologies such as: Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and cellular networks (3G/4G). The purpose of VANET is to ensure a wide area coverage for all vehicles in scaling the network, thus achieving the always best connected paradigm where the best connectivity is offered to clients wherever they are and at any time. UAV is another kind of aerial ITS networks, which are used in military applications for target monitoring and engaging air to ground combats. It is also used in civil applications to explore inaccessible areas and deliver data to and from areas with no network infrastructure. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize ITS network; security and privacy is one of them since, on one hand, vehicles exchange sensitive data (e.g., accidents notification, coordinates of nuclear sites, etc.) and on the other hand they form a specific network with particular characteristics (frequent fragmentation and dynamic topology). This special issue covers studies and solutions that ensure ITS security and privacy. We encourage authors from the industry and academe to submit their original research works that will enhance our understanding and modeling of security, privacy, and attacks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Intrusion detection and response systems in ITS network. Intrusion prediction model in in ITS network Data Mining and Machine learning for IDS Cyber-attacks against ITS network Security metrics Secure localization in ITS network Lightweight cryptography technique Cyber-attacks modeling in ITS network Secure routing protocol Key management schemes in ITS network Privacy challenges in ITS Important Dates : ------------------ Manuscript Due: May 05, 2018. Acceptance notification: July 01, 2018 Revised paper due: September 01, 2018 Final manuscript due: December 01, 2018 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: March 01, 2019 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/. Authors should select “SI: SP&ITS2017”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics which include but are not limited to: * Big data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements * Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays, wide-area * Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures * Experience papers providing detailed technical insights into real-world deployments of novel networking technologies and systems * Internet measurement and modeling * Innovative uses of network data beyond communication * Networking aspects of data-centers and cloud computing * Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures * Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability * Architectures, designs, analysis, measurements of programmable data planes and in-network computing * Network, transport, and application-layer protocols * Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things, smart homes, and smart cities * Networking aspects of online social networks * Network economics * Network verification and validation * Novel applications of machine learning to networking * Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications * Routing and traffic engineering * Security and privacy aspects of networks, protocols, and applications * Self-organizing/driving, autonomous, and federated network systems * Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking * Wireless and cellular networks We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission.In addition to the main conference, CoNEXT 2018 will have a series of co-located workshops, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper awards. ========== Submissions ========== CoNEXT welcomes submission of both long and short papers (2-column, 10pt ACM format). Long papers are the more traditional and complete form to present technical work, and should be no more than 12 pages (and up to 2 additional pages for references). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for contributions whose novelty and impact show the same technical excellence, and whose description fits within 6 pages (with 1 additional page for references). Short papers will be reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of topics compared to long papers. Note that position papers, critiques of networking research, and ideas that are not yet fully complete or evaluated are a better fit for the HotNets workshop. We recommend that authors check both CFPs before submitting. ============= Ethical concerns =============Like SIGCOMM, CoNEXT accords great importance to research ethics. Specifically, authors must attest that their work complies with all applicable ethical standards of their home institution(s), including, but not limited to privacy policies and policies on experiments involving humans. Submitting research for approval by one’s institution’s ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient. The PC will have its own discussion of the ethics of that work whenever it has concerns about the ethics of a submission. Authors agree to be available at any time during the review process to rapidly respond to queries from the PC chairs regarding ethical standards. ======== Contact us ======== * If you have any questions please email the TPC co-chairs at: <conext18-tpc_at_ics.forth.gr> * Official CoNEXT Website: https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2018 --- Best Regards, Dr. Vasileios Kotronis and Hyun-chul KimCoNEXT 2018 Publicity Co-chairs <conext18-publicity_at_ics.forth.gr <mailto:conext18-publicity@ics.forth.gr>> [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.

Datum: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 16:35:40 -0400 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <sh.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ACM Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (ACM SmartCitySecurity 2018) in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2018, Los Angeles, June 26-29, USA. Web: https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2018/workshop-smart-city-security.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates - Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2018 (Extended Deadline) - Acceptance Notification: May 2, 2018 - Final Paper submission: May 11, 2018 - Workshop Date: June 25, 2018 Workshop Co-Chairs - Danda B.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), Deadline: April 6, 2018 Datum: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 03:05:47 +0200 Von: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this] CfP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/ Keynote by Dr. Dirk Kutscher (Huawei CTO): https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/keynote.html Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. The active research work on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Tasklet, ThinkAir, and MAUI) also support this vision. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 1st International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys '18 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis. The topics include but are not limited to the following: - System Architecture for Edge Computing - Communication and Computation Abstractions - Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services - Edge-driven Data Analytics - Novel System and Networking Design for Data-intensive Services - Edge Security and Privacy - Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing - Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies - Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics - System Performance and Measurement - Edge Networking and Communications - Edge-enabled IoT Services and Application Taxonomy - (Autonomous) Management for Edge Systems - Security and Trust Management Workshop and TPC Chairs: Aaron Yi Ding (TU Munich, Germany) Richard Mortier (University of Cambridge, UK) Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Henning Schulzrinne (Columbia University, USA) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Peter Pietzuch (Imperial College London, UK) Dieter Kranzlmüller (University of Munich & LRZ, Germany) Dirk Kutscher (Huawei, Germany) Technical Program Committee: Ardalan Amiri Sani (UC Irvine, USA) Aruna Balasubramanian (Stony Brook University, USA) Christian Becker (University of Mannheim, Germany) Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) Paul Francis (Max Planck Institute, Germany) Hamed Haddadi (Imperial College London, UK) Tim Harris (UK) Wenjun Hu (Yale University, USA) Pan Hui (UH/HKUST, Finland & Hong Kong) Marijn Janssen (TU Delft, Netherlands) Fahim Kawsar (Nokia Bell Labs, UK) Ilias Leontiadis (Telefónica, Spain) Shen Li (IBM Research, USA) Yong Li (Tsinghua University, China) Dongtao Liu (Google, USA) Jörg Ott (TU Munich, Germany) Oriana Riva (Microsoft Research, USA) Stefan Schmid (University of Vienna, Austria) Malte Schwarzkopf (MIT, USA) Sasu Tarkoma (University of Helsinki, Finland) Carmela Troncoso (EPFL, Switzerland) Liang Wang (University of Cambridge, UK) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chenren Xu (Peking University, China) Tianyin Xu (Facebook, USA) Ennan Zhai (Yale University, USA) Publicity Chairs: Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA) Mayutan Arumaithurai (University of Göttingen, Germany) Web Chair Vittorio Cozzolino (TU Munich, Germany) Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues.

For important deadlines and paper format, please check the web page or the CFP copied below. Regards, Dr. Sudhir Dixit, Prof. Seshadri Mohan, Prof. Ramjee Prasad and Prof. Hiroshi Harada Guest Editors, Feature topic on Multi-sensory Human Bond Communication IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 2019 CALL FOR PAPERS Information and communications technologies have progressed rapidly in this millennium for people to communicate and exchange information using multimedia (speech, video/image, text) and the same has extended to internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Propelled by the explosive growth in IoT, this trend is only going to accelerate in the years to come with new inventions in the =C3=A1r= ea of human-IoT interaction technologies to deliver powerful engaging and intuitive experiences. But, these developments have remained confined to only the sensing and transmission of aural and optical information in the digital domain through the use of microphone, camera, speaker and display devices. However, the ability to integrate the other three sensory features, namely, olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste) and tactile (touch) in information transfer and replication to deliver Star-Wars-like being there experience are still far from reality. Human bond communication (HBC) is a novel concept that incorporates all five sensory information from sensing to digitization to transmission and replication at the receiver to allow more expressive, engaging, realistic and holistic information between humans, and in some cases between humans and machines (M2H) or IoTs. This FT solicits articles that explore different aspects of HBC, IoTs for HBC and the interplay between these two fields, M2M and M2H, which also include the other three human sensory information (olfactory, tactile and gustatory) in addition to aural and optical sensors. Although the FT invites papers on research topics on sensing and replication, the focus of these papers should be on the ICT angle in this regards and on how information is encoded, transmitted and decoded reliably and securely in a world which would increasingly become multi-sensory. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Communication aspects of biometric extending to all five senses - Smart body area network - Brain-to-brain communication - Brain-to-brain interface, Brain-to-computer interface, Computer-to-brain interface - Gustatory, tactile, olfactory sensing and replication - Human bond communication - Human bond communication(s) interface - Human unwelt expansi=C3=B3n - Interplay between HBC and IoT - Invasive (i.e. bionic) approaches - Physical world augmentation (PWA) through the inclusion of all five senses - Privacy, security, and reliability in HBC - Sensory augmentation, sensory substitution - Wearable(s) with non-aural and non-optical sensor - Wireless body area network - Sensor encoding, transmission and decoding SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, word count, and the number of figures and tables. Please, see the guidelines online.

Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call. IoPARTS2018 invites researchers, engineers, and subject matter experts from academia and industry to present their latest innovations, which address coworking challenges between humans and robots within the context of IoT. It stems from the observation that rapid advances in sensing, sensor algorithms, miniaturized computing, and improved actuation are expeditiously bringing robots into our daily lives. The near future holds promise of driverless cars, package delivering drones, precision agriculture, co-working robots, and others. A major paradigm change with these applications is the degree of autonomy of the robot, and the close proximity of their operation in urban environments. This is dramatically different from prior deployments of automation in factories with very structured environments constructed for their operation. This change brings several challenges arising from close proximity of operation with humans, modality of interaction, general awareness, and others. This workshop is interested in bringing out the computer systems challenges that this future paradigm presents. Such systems challenges include spatial awareness of the robot, ability to react in a timely manner, faster and better modes of interaction, and systems/protocols for seamless interaction in diverse environments. Topics of interest include, but not limited to : * Real-time software design for mixed-criticality systems * Smart space design for human-robot systems * System architectures and protocols for interacting with unmanned autonomous vehicles * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning * Novel sensing and interface technologies for human-robot interaction * Algorithms for human-robot coordination * Joint inference and learning based on data generated by human wearables, fixed sensors and robots * Human-in-the-loop algorithms for robot sensing/actuation * Verification of hybrid human-robot systems * Improved communication/visualization between robot and humans * Energy management among robots and mobile/fixed sensors * Issues on heterogeneous sensor modalities and capabilities among humans and robots * Security/Privacy challenges of human-robot systems * Ethical/social challenges of human-robot systems * Results from prototypes, test-beds, and demonstrations * Novel applications of human-robot systems Two types of submissions are solicited: * Full papers: Maximum length of 6 pages, including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references.

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 - Experiences with IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applications; 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 with Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

With the aid of these equipment and technologies, vehicles can offer many new applications and services, such as active driving safety assistance, self-driving cars, smart parking, road traffic monitoring, and fleet management. In addition, there are new content-centric applications for drivers and passengers. These applications typically require intensive computation and demand low-delay data processing, e.g., video analytics with real-time interaction, image-aided navigation, natural language processing, and interactive gaming. Such applications pose great challenges to the existing vehicular terminals and networks, especially in terms of their computational resources. To meet the ever-increasing computation demand in vehicular networks, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as a very promising solution. With the dramatically enhanced capacity, MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits to vehicular networks, including ultra low latency between smart devices/vehicles and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications; privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge cloud, and big data analytics at the point of capture for novel safety-oriented applications. Despite the potentially significant benefits of MEC, many challenges need to be addressed in this new paradigm. A typical challenge is related to computation offloading which should consider mobility-awareness and incentive in MEC for vehicular networks. In addition, various computation tasks may have different resource requirements, including the computation resources for task execution and the communication resources for task transmission. In this case, a joint optimization problem should consider both communications, computation and control dimensions. The objective of this special issue is to present the latest results, insights, and perspectives on the new area of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. The topics of interest include, but not limited to: · New concepts, architecture, and principles · Cloud-edge integration and techniques for vehicular networks · Software defined vehicular networks with mobile edge computing · Edge computing supporting big data analytics for novel applications and services (e.g., traffic, surveillance, infrastructure planning) · Edge computing supporting machine learning, deep learning for self-driving cars · Communications, computation and storage resource management and optimization · Computation offloading, traffic offloading · Communications, computation, control convergence · Edge caching for content sharing in vehicular networks · Energy management, energy efficiency and greenness-performance tradeoff · Security and privacy · QoS/QoE provision · Use cases/applications highlighting the potential of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research material presented in a tutorial or survey style. Manuscript format must adhere to the IEEE VT Magazine submission guidelines. Articles should be about 3,000 to 4,000 words long with 5-10 figures and 10-15 references. The use of mathematical equations should be limited to three.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM ICN 2018 (Boston, MA, Sept. 21-23, 2018) Datum: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 14:31:51 +0000 Von: Lan Wang (lanwang) <lanwang(a)MEMPHIS.EDU> Antwort an: Lan Wang (lanwang) <lanwang(a)MEMPHIS.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking 2018 Call for Papers The 5th ACM conference on Information Centric Networking (ICN 2018) will be held in Boston, MA, USA, Friday through Sunday, September 21-23, 2018. We are inviting submissions that describe significant research contributions to ICN as broadly defined. The fundamental concept in Information Centric Networking (ICN) is to provide the ability to access named information as a principal service offered by the network, evolving the Internet from today’s host based packet delivery towards directly retrieving information objects and invoking services by name in a secure, resilient, scalable, and efficient way. These architectural design efforts aim to address the challenges that arise from the increasing demands from accessing cloud resources, from accelerated growth of mobile devices and edge computing, from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT), and from the need to secure the global Internet. Papers pertaining to these and/or related fields are specifically encouraged. ACM ICN 2018 will be a single track conference focusing on current ICN research topics, featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations. Topics of Interest • Use of ICN for both legacy problems and novel use cases, including but not limited to: • Name-based access to fog/edge computing resources as well as to cloud services • Device and content mobility • IoT and CPS (e.g., industrial IoT, smart city, smart homes, vehicular communications) • Network layer, mobility and architecture: • Comparison of architectures, ICN styles and semantics • Interdependency of namespace design, routing, and resource control • ICN support for ad hoc and direct peer-to-peer communication • ICN for high-speed networking • Security: • Privacy, both generally and especially its interaction with caching • Trust management and access control • IoT and CPS-specific security considerations • Application layer, Evaluations and Testbeds: • ICN and application-layer messaging and stream processing frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Flink, QUIC) • APIs for transport, other higher-level abstractions, and their assessment • Experience from implementation, testbeds, and tools • Critical analysis of previous research in ICN, including reproducibility studies • Methodology and metrics • Translational Research: • Deployments of ICN • ICN for distributed computation, cloud-based services, edge computing, database queries, big data manipulation as well as ICN-mediated sensor/actuator control loops • ICN and in-network computation (e.g., NFN and related approaches) • ICN and SDN interactions • ICN-inspired applications and systems • Operations: • Business and Economic models and their effects on deployability • Management of ICN networks and systems • Caching and its interaction with I/O performance • Scalability analysis • Traffic Engineering • Implementation challenges and experiences • Line speed caching • Routing scalability • Congestion control • Zero configuration ICN Submission Details Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length (excluding references), following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length (excluding references): This format is suitable for less mature workshop-oriented work not ready for a full submission and for thought-provoking position papers. Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note that in order to ensure adequate citation of related work, extra pages of references are allowed (and encouraged). Submissions will be reviewed (single-blind review process) and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A “best paper award” will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper categories. The program committee may invite authors of non-accepted papers to present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract. Please note that ACM ICN 2018 also has a specific call for posters, demos, tutorials, and panel sessions. To submit abstracts and papers to the ICN 2018 conference, first carefully read the submission policies, the conflicts of interest, and the formatting requirements specified on https://conferences.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2018/submissions.php.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MobiSys Workshop LocNet 2018: extended submission deadline Datum: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 22:58:55 +0100 Von: Joerg Widmer <joerg.widmer(a)IMDEA.ORG> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE ======================================================================== *Call for Papers* Workshop on Location Systems for Management and Control of Mobile and Wireless Networks (LocNet) at ACM MobiSys 2018, Munich, Germany *Submission deadline extended to March 23, 2018* ======================================================================== Wireless location systems have been studied extensively in recent years and are advancing at a rapid pace. State-of-the-art location systems now achieve very high levels of accuracy down to the decimeter-level and below, even without dedicated positioning hardware. Positioning data can bring dramatic benefits to mobile networks, not just for conventional data analytics and location-based services running over the network, but for the management and control of the network itself. Location information can be used to optimize resource allocation and network control decisions as networks become denser and support high-order MIMO and wider bandwidths, which allows devices to accurately measure the wireless environment. It is particularly relevant for emerging technologies such as millimeter-wave communication systems, where the antenna configuration, availability of paths, access points to associate with, and the data rate strongly depend on the location of the devices and on reflectors and obstacles in the environment. Location information can also be used, for example, for anticipatory networking mechanisms in mobile networks, where resource allocation decisions are based on the predicted future state of the network and users. Localizing terminals, people and things accurately and reliably allows to better deploy, provision, and manage mobile and wireless networks, thus increasing their reliability and scalability. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest developments in wireless location systems, their impact on network management and control to enhance the efficiency of communication networks, and the inherent technical challenges. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Location and positioning algorithms - Positioning in mobile networks - Millimeter-wave location systems - Visible light location systems - Anticipatory networking mechanisms based on location information - Network management and control based on location information - Network architectures and localization protocols to support use of location data - Localization and network optimization for IoT devices (including LoRa) - Joint millimeter-wave communication and radar - Wi-Fi, RFID, and other types of positioning systems - Backscatter localization - Location data fusion of cellular, WiFi and other technologies - Fusion with inertial sensors - Positioning systems with joint use of time, angle, and other observations - Location error modeling and measurement - Signal processing for location systems - Scalability of location systems - Energy efficiency of location systems - Experience from measurements and experimental results - Open testbeds for experimentation - Open-source location system implementations - Open-source location-based network management systems *Important dates* Paper submissions due: March 23, 2018 Notification of acceptance: April 18, 2018 Camera ready papers due: May 4, 2018 Workshops date: June 10/June 15, 2018 *Submission guidelines* The workshop solicits technical papers with a maximum length of 6 pages, and extended abstracts of 2 pages for posters and demos.

The special sessions are the following. GNSS Railway Session conveners: Juliette Marais, IFSTTAR (FR), Omar Garcia Crespillo, DLR (DE), Cosimo Stallo Radiolabs (IT) Railways already relies on satellite-based localization systems but mostly for non-safety related applications. However, driven by economic reasons, the use of these systems for more stringent services and, in particular, in signalling system is seriously investigated today and tested all around the world. The developments have made huge progress in the past years: from global demonstration of concept to the development of elements of the systems (hybrid localization units, integrity monitoring schemes, augmentation systems). A number of technical solutions have been developed and demonstrated. Some real advances are noticed, in particular, in the ERTMS framework, considering the use of GNSS-based virtual balises. But GNSS is also investigated for other services such as train integrity. The session will present the latest results and projects dealing with the introduction of GNSS in the railways. Papers are expected to focus on technical issues for performance enhancement as well as safety demonstrations, experimental results of GNSS reception characterization or operational system demonstration. New challenges in wireless communications for Railways Session conveners: M. Berbineau, IFSTTAR (FR), Ke Guan, BJTU (CN), José Soler, DTU (DK) To increase quality, reliability, safety and security of railway systems while increasing accessibility and productivity, we observe ever increasing fluxes of information between various stakeholders, central databases and field devices widely distributed along infrastructures and inside trains. This trend is accentuated by the development of automation and driverless systems and autonomous trains. Robustness, reliability, high data rate, spectral efficiency, optimization of radio resource usages, low latency and low energy consumption are of significant interest for railway applications. Evaluating the performance and new challenges of wireless communication systems requires radio channel models for numerous propagation environments and in very different frequencies (from 1 GHz to mmW for example). Furthermore, dedicated antennas need to be developed with adequate performance and placement. Innovative solutions at network level are also needed (heterogeneous handover, new architecture, scheduling aspects, etc.) and incorporation of new paradigms such as SDN or NFV, may impact current service offer and enable new ones. Safety and security are also strong requirements for wireless communications for railways including cybersecurity. The session will present the latest results and projects addressing these challenges. Maritime communications Session conveners: Michele Fiorini, EIT (IT) The purpose of the special session is to facilitate interactions between university researchers, students, start-ups, NGOs, SMEs, industries and administrations dealing within the maritime domain. The topics relevant to the session spans from systems (CSS, EZZ protection, AIS, satellite surveillance, e-NAV etc..) to services (SAR, VTS, VDES, Single Window -Port Management-, anti-piracy, etc..) and all combinations. Innovative concepts and practical applications are particularly welcome. Reliability of vehicular communications Session conveners: Jacek Rak, Gdansk University of Technology (PL) The purpose of this special session is to enable discussions among researchers from academia and industry on reliability of vehicular communications, which still remains an extraordinary challenge especially under unfavourable conditions. Special focus of the session is put on the issue of delivery of data to intended receivers in accordance to requirements of applications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission procedure: Authors are invited to submit regular papers (7 pages) or demo abstracts (2 pages), describing original, previously unpublished research or demos, not currently under review by another conference or journal.

Today, the state-of-the-art in computational models that, for example, recognize a face, track user emotions, or monitor physical activities are increasingly based on deep learning principles and algorithms. Unfortunately, deep models typically exert severe demands on local device resources and this conventionally limits their adoption within mobile and embedded platforms. As a result, in far too many cases existing systems process sensor data with machine learning methods that have been superseded by deep learning years ago. Because the robustness and quality of sensory perception and reasoning is so critical to mobile computing, it is critical for this community to begin the careful study of two core technical questions. First, how should deep learning learning principles and algorithms be applied to sensor inference problems that are central to this class of computing? This includes a combination of applications of learning some of which are familiar to other domains (such as the processing image and audio), in addition to those more uniquely tied to wearable and mobile systems (e.g., activity recognition). Second, what is required for current -- and future -- deep learning innovations to be either simplified or efficiently integrated into a variety of mobile resource-constrained systems? At heart, this MobiSys 2018 co-located workshop aims to consider these two broad themes; more specific topics of interest, include, but are not limited to: = Compression of Deep Model Architectures = Neural-based Approaches for Modeling User Activities and Behavior = Quantized and Low-precision Neural Networks (including Binary Networks) = Mobile Vision supported by Convolutional and Deep Networks = Optimizing Commodity Processors (GPUs, DSPs etc.) for Deep Models = Audio Analysis and Understanding through Recurrent and Deep Architectures = Hardware Accelerators for Deep Neural Networks = Distributed Deep Model Training Approaches = Applications of Deep Neural Networks with Real-time Requirements = Deep Models of Speech and Dialog Interaction or Mobile Devices = Partitioned Networks for Improved Cloud- and Processor-Offloading = Operating System Support for Resource Management at Inference-time FULL PAPER SUBMISSIONS Solicited submissions include: full technical workshop papers, descriptions of work-in-progress, and white position papers. Maximum length of such submissions is 6 pages, and if accepted they will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library. Submission Deadline: April 2nd, 2018 – 11:59PM AOE [extended deadline] Author Notification: April 20th, 2018 POSTER/DEMO SUBMISSIONS Poster/demo abstracts are also welcome and encouraged. Abstracts will be limited to 2 pages but will only be published on the workshop website (not the ACM DL). Deadlines for poster/demo submissions will remain open until the early registration deadline for the MobiSys 2018 conference closes.
