To address the individual requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the Connected and Smart Vehicles field, there is a need to build up a new communication technology for the integrated solutions of vehicular communication and smart communications. The Connected Vehicles infrastructure can be of various models such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2E). Due to the rapid growth in the Connected Vehicles, many research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, appropriate scalable design of MAC and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to the changes in environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and evaluation and validation of Connected Vehicles’ protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. In addition, the information shared among Connected Vehicles is of great importance and it is not yet clear what kind of privacy policies will be defined for the ITS networks. This Feature Topic (FT) aims to emphasize the latest achievements to identify those aspects of Connected Vehicles and ITS networks that are identical to a traditional communications network in the broader spectrum. Feature Topic Focus: In this FT, we would like to try to answer some (or all) of the following questions: What will be the effect on Policy Making regulations when the connected vehicles will hit the roads? What are the privacy consequences of Connected Vehicles with Smart onboard peripherals? What kind of privacy policies will be defined for the connected vehicles and smart ITS networks? What kind of education and training are required for drivers and passengers of such connected and smart vehicles to take full benefits of the proposed communication architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make Connected Smart Vehicles more attractive? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Vehicles with networked hardware? In addition, the authors are expected to address state-of-the-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements in the following topics, but not limited to: - Intra-vehicle communication (vehicle-to-pedestrians, vehicle-to-portable, vehicle-to-sign, etc.) - Network and system architecture for Connected Vehicles - MAC protocols and channel management - Physical layer and routing protocols - Delay tolerant vehicular networks - Real-time optimization system - Modeling and theory - Internet-of-Vehicles, smart sensors (infrastructure and vehicle based) - Mobility management (Traffic models) - Energy efficient vehicular communication - Quality-of-Service for vehicular communication - Future Internet in ITS and Networking Systems - Information and Content-Centric Networking in Connected Vehicles Networks - Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems and Smart Devices IMPORTANT DATES: Manuscript Submissions Due: February 1, 2018 Decision Notification: June 1, 2018 Final Manuscript Submission: July 15, 2018 Publication Date: October 2018 EDITORS: Syed Hassan Ahmed University of Central Florida, USA sh.ahmed(a)ieee.org Jalel Ben-Othman University of Paris 13, France jalebeno(a)yahoo.fr Jaime Lloret Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es Wael Guibene Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA wael.guibene(a)intel.com Ashfaq A.

Different types of relationships exist among things, thus forming social connections such as parental-object relationship, co-work-object relationship, co-location-object relationship, ownership-object relationship, and so on. The definition of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) applies to an interconnected set of vehicles providing information for common services such as traffic management and road safety. The Social IoV (SIoV) is an extension to the concept of IoV, where the social networking concepts of SioT are applied to IoV. In SIoV, smart vehicles build social relationships with other social objects they might come into contact, including other vehicles and Road Side Units, with the intent of creating an overlay social network to be exploited for information search and dissemination for vehicular applications. In SIoV scenario, several challenges are worth to be investigated. SIoV paradigm is still in its infancy but there is a concrete interest by the research community, automotive industry and social application providers to develop SIoV applications. The special issue on Recent Advances on Social Internet of Vehicles accepts papers dealing with the following topics of interest (but not limited to): * Data dissemination mechanisms in SIoV * Social-based network protocols for SIoV * Privacy, trust, and security issues in SIoV * Autonomic service discovery in SIoV * Data management, big data processing and analytics in SIoV * Integration of SIoV and cloud/edge/fog/on-board computing environment * SIoV in 5G and vehicular network environments * Test-bed and simulation tools for SIoV * New Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and services based on SIoV Important dates: Manuscript Submission: March 1, 2018 1st Reviews Due: May 15, 2018 Revision Due: June 15, 2018 2nd Reviews Due/Notification: July 15, 2018 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2018 Publication Date: 2018 Submission: All original manuscripts must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot All manuscripts will be peer reviewed and must follow the standard guidelines for manuscript preparation and submission available at http://iotjournal.weebly.com/guidelines-for-authors.html Select the “Recent Advances on Social Internet of Vehicles” special issue, when uploading your manuscript.

Also, feel free to broadcast/recirculate this notice to your colleagues and research network. The CfP is attached to this email, and more details can be found at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcmc/si/691674/cfp/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for PAPERS Special Issue on "Time-Critical Wireless Networks for Industrial Systems and Mobile Robotics" Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley & Hindawi) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission deadline: March 23, 2018 Publication date: August 20, 2018 Submission via: https://mts.hindawi.com/login/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recently, there has been increasing interest in areas like smart factories, process control, robotics, smart energy grids, etc. These entities can be regarded as complex real–life systems, composed of several collaborating computational agents surrounded by a suitable ICT infrastructure to effectively control time-critical physical processes. In particular, such a structure focuses on the intersection between the physical process and computation, where the former provides a feedback loop to the computational side, and vice versa. This kind of systems are often identified with the term Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To support this framework, the underlying communication infrastructure is required to provide definite and trustworthy performance, strong reliability and bounded latencies, while supporting self- healing and flexible network deployment. It is collectively recognized that high–performance wireless protocols will represent a breakthrough in future CPS, enabling the exploitation of an ad–hoc, rapid and adaptive connectivity while ensuring the required performance. Unfortunately, wireless communications are prone to disturbances and external interferences, and are often affected by non-negligible packet loss rates, random delays and jitter. Indeed, their actual low penetration in industry-grade control scenarios is mostly due to these long-existing challenges to meet the specific time-critical applications’ constraints reliably. A broad range of high–performance applications may benefit from the adoption of time–critical wireless communications, such as: industrial control and factory automation systems, mobile and cooperative robotics (e.g. robotic manipulation, vision), coordination and control of mobile computing agents (e.g. smart drones). In all these applications, the underlying communication network has to be able to steadily sustain a high sampling rate of the physical environment, a requirement that current wireless systems might not be able to meet. In the context of this special issue, several research areas reveals of paramount interest. Interoperability among heterogeneous systems and cost issues push toward the adoption of widespread commercial wireless solutions, such as IEEE 802.11-based ones, which are not specifically designed to support time-critical control applications. Efforts are hence imperative to dramatically enhance the communication performance of wireless systems in order to boost the actual sampling times in critical scenarios. This entails the design and exploitation of new protocols, architectures and algorithms to enable cooperation and control over wireless lossy channels. The development of effective real–time scheduling techniques are also envisaged for an efficient traffic management. Moreover, fields like coordination and vision over wireless are significantly impacted by these types of networks, and activities are required in this field to match the required and the available performance. The main aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research papers addressing the most recent advances in all the highlighted fields. Also, we encourage submissions of survey papers summarizing the state of the art in any of the related research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Algorithms, architectures, protocols, and standardization issues of wireless communications in time-critical scenarios * Modelling and simulations techniques in time-critical wireless systems * Cooperative networking * Medium access control, error control and channel resource management in wireless systems * Ultra-reliable and low-latency wireless systems in distributed CPS * High mobility, energy efficient and self-powered wireless systems in distributed CPS * Full duplex wireless and millimeter wave technologies for real-time communications * New advancement of 5G for critical control systems * Wireless communication issues in digital smart grids, intelligent transportation and critical healthcare systems * Networking issues of cooperative and autonomous robots. * Basics, prospects, and trends in future networked wireless mobile robots * Telerobotics and teleoperation for semi-autonomous robots * Wireless networks for telepresence robots * Coordination and vision over wireless Papers are published upon acceptance, regardless of the Special Issue publication date. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lead Guest Editor Federico Tramarin National Research Council of Italy, Padua, Italy federico.tramarin(a)ieiit.cnr.it<mailto:federico.tramarin@ieiit.cnr.it> Guest Editors Andreas Willig University of Canterbury, Canterbury, New Zealand andreas.willig(a)canterbury.ac.nz<mailto:andreas.willig@canterbury.ac.nz> Zhibo Pang ABB Corporate Research, Vasteras, Sweden pang.zhibo(a)se.abb.com<mailto:pang.zhibo@se.abb.com> Stefano Ghidoni University of Padua, Padua, Italy stefano.ghidoni(a)unipd.it<mailto:stefano.ghidoni@unipd.it> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Currently, operators are striving to reduce the investment and maintenance costs for cellular systems. In this context, caching has been proposed as a technique that has the potential to reduce backhaul network traffic and improve content latency for the wireless user. Especially in 5G, caching is poised as one of the most promising new technologies. The "Content Caching and Delivery in Wireless Networks" (CCDWN) workshop focuses on techniques that aim to achieve efficient content delivery to the end user in order to meet the stringent quality requirements of 5G wireless. The idea is to bring together experts in the field and discuss ways in which content caching, sharing and prefetching can play a leading role in future wireless networks. Indicative research topics of high interest include but are not limited to: - Caching architectures e.g. Femto-Caching - Memory management, content prefetching and recommendation - Content placement, replication and delivery - Big Data Caching Analytics and Machine Learning - Caching in the datacentre - Coded Caching and related Information Theory aspects - 5G and Caching (IoT, D2D, edge computing) - Network economics caching issues - Interplay of Caching with wireless communications (PHY and MAC) - Green Caching - Content Delivery Networks and ICN - Stochastic cache models, scaling laws - Distributed and adaptive algorithms in CDNs/ICNs This workshop aims to bring together people from different communities, including networking, communications, computer science, operation research, machine learning, and information theory to shed light on the latest developments in the field. To maximize interaction and visibility, CCDWN ‘18 will be co-located with WiOpt 2018 and will take place on May 7 or 11, 2018, in Shanghai, China.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC SI on Caching - Deadline Extension (December 10th) Datum: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 06:26:16 -0500 Von: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, the submission deadline for this Issue has been extended to 10th of December. Best regards, GI ------------- JSAC Issue on Caching for Communication Systems and Networks. The ever-increasing volume of data traffic and the proliferation of services with stringent performance requirements constantly outpace the capacity upgrades in wired and wireless networks, and challenge their performance and their economic viability. At the same time, recent developments, such as the advent of SDN and NFV technologies, the deployment of multi-tier wireless systems, and the novel interplay of caching with physical layer techniques can create novel opportunities for reducing this demand-supply gap. In this new era, it is imperative to systematically revisit the role of caching for a variety of reasons: (i) storage becomes an increasingly low-cost resource, in stark contrast with other resources (e.g., spectrum), and can be embedded in equipment of various form factors in large amounts; (ii) novel network architectures emerge such as 5G+ systems and hybrid wired-wireless designs; (iii) new business models appear with Over-The-Top service providers deploying their own infrastructure or cooperating with network operators; (iv) the needs of users are rapidly changing, consuming huge amounts of content on their mobile devices and generating their own content; (v) social networking platforms are heavily affecting network operation creating additional value but also congestion. Storage and caching can play a fundamental role in this emerging era in communication systems and networks, by increasing the performance of the offered services, reducing operating and capital expenditures, and enabling innovative and game-changing business models. This special issue therefore invites submissions of high-quality original technical and survey papers exploring the role of caching in communication systems and networks, including the following non-exhaustive list of topics: Information-theoretic caching analysis: (i) Fundamental limits of caching; (ii) Coded caching design with practical constraints; (iii) Receiver and source memory-enhanced communications; (iv) Scaling laws of cache networks. Caching in next generation wireless systems: (i) HetNet and device-to-device caching; (ii) Edge caching, cooperation and femtocaching; (iii) Joint caching with scheduling, routing and utility maximisation; (iv) Secure caching, privacy preservation. Content caching and delivery: (i) Design of elastic CDNs; (ii) Algorithms for storage and content placement; (iii) Novel aspects of video caching and streaming; (iv) Caching economics; (v) Caching models for ICN. Data analytics for caching: (i) Analysis of request data, time-varying popularity models; (ii) Popularity estimation and prediction of viral content; (iii) Machine learning and optimisation for popularity incentives; (iv) Interplay of social networks and caching algorithms. ----------------- Authors should submit a PDF version of their manuscripts (30 double-spaced pages, single-column format) through EDAS, according to the following schedule: Initial Paper Submission: December 10, 2017 Acceptance notification: March 7, 2018 Final manuscript submission: April 1, 2018 Publication date: Second Quarter 2018 ---------------- Guest Editors Giuseppe Caire Technical University of Berlin, Germany George Iosifidis Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Georgios S.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing

20 Nov '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing Datum: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 15:46:18 +0000 Von: Bo Sheng <Bo.Sheng(a)UMB.EDU> Antwort an: Bo Sheng <Bo.Sheng(a)UMB.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CFP: The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing http://www.cloudbus.org/fog/icfec2018/ May 1, 2018 - May 3, 2018 Washington DC, USA Submission Deadline Nov 27, 2017 Notification Due Jan 31, 2018 Final Version Due Feb 14, 2018 The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm promises to make “things” such as physical objects with sensing capabilities and/or attached with tags, mobile objects such as smart phones and vehicles, consumer electronic devices and home appliances such as fridge, television, healthcare devices, as part of the Internet environment. In cloud-centric IoT applications, the sensor data from these “things” is extracted, accumulated and processed at the public/private clouds, leading to significant latencies. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for Cloud Computing resources from emerging applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), academics and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to micro data centres located at the edge of the network. These micro data centres are often closer to a user (geographically and in access latency) compared to the centralized cloud data centre. The aim of utilizing such edge resources is to off load computation that would have “traditionally” been carried out at the cloud data centre to a resource that is closer to a user or edge devices. This vision also acknowledges the variation in network latency from an end user to cloud data centre. Whereas the network around a data centre is often high capacity and speed, that near the user device may have variably properties (in terms of resilience, bandwidth, latency, etc). Referred to as “fog/edge computing”, this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments in addition to bringing computing resources closer to end-users. On the one hand, the development of Fog and Edge clouds includes dedicated facilities, operating system, network and middleware techniques to build and operate such micro data centres that host virtualized computing resources. On the other hand, the uses of Fog and Edge clouds requires extension to current programming models and propose new abstractions that will allow developers to design new applications that take benefit from such massively distributed systems. The use of this approach also opens up other challenges in: security and privacy (as a user now needs to “trust” every micro data centre they interact with), support for resource management for mobile users who transfer session from one micro data centre to another, support for “embedding” such micro data centres into devices (e.g. cars, buildings, etc.) The conference seeks to attract contributions covering both theory and practice of any of the aforementioned challenges, from the management software stack to domain-specific applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing - Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Programming models and runtime systems for Fog/Edge Computing - Scheduling for Fog/Edge infrastructures - Fog/Edge storage - Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures - Fog/Edge Computing applications - Latency/locality-critical applications - Legal issues in Fog/Edge clouds - Security and privacy – including support for new cryptographic approaches - Modeling Fog/Edge environments – e.g. using process networks, agent-based models, Peer-2-Peer systems, etc - Performance monitoring and modeling - Applications of Fog/Edge Computing Publication: Proceedings will be published through the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services. Paper submitted could be accepted as REGULAR paper (10 pages) or SHORT papers (4 pages), depending on the review scores. Special Issues: Authors of highly rated papers from ICFEC 2018 will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of the Journal of Software: Practice and Experience (SPE): Software Tools and Techniques for Fog and Edge Computing, published by Wiley Press. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

To address individual requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicular communication technology, there is the need to build up a new communication technology for integrated solutions of ICTS. Those commodities mentioned result in several types of vehicular communications, i.e., Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Roadside (V2R) communications. Due to the rapid growth in this field, various research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, appropriate scalable design of MAC (Medium Access Control) and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to changes in the environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and an evaluation and validation of vehicular communication protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. To be more specific, the data retrieval in connected ITS’s itself is a great challenge in numerous ways. For example, the highly dynamic mobility of vehicles accelerates a plethora of research questions to be solved. Potential paper submissions are likely to exploit the connectionism and emergence of networking systems in various problem-solving methods in the ICTS and vehicular communications with a focus on the data retrieval. It may also outline essential challenges, proof-of-concept studies with a direct and simulated comparison to technical solutions, and mathematical models of communication principles. Possible topics of key interest are the following ones: • Intra-vehicle communication (e.g., vehicle-to-pedestrians, vehicle-to-portable, vehicle-to-sign) • Network and system architectures for ICTS • MAC protocols and channel management in ICTS • Physical layer and routing protocols for ICTS • Delay tolerant techniques and protocols for ICTS • Real-time optimization systems for ICTS • Modeling and theoretical proofs of communications in ICTS • Emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications with ICTS • Smart sensors and communications in ICTS • Quality-of-Service (QoS) & Quality-of-Experience (QoE) for ICTS • Information and Content-Centric Networking in ICTS • Data retrieval via software-defined ICTS • Performance evaluations of ICTS Special Issue Timeline Manuscript Submission Due: November 30, 2017 Author Notifications Due: January 31, 2018 Final Revisions Due: February 28, 2018 Publication: Summer 2018 Guest Editors Syed Hassan Ahmed, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA. sh.ahmed(a)ieee.org Ali Kashif Bashir, University of the Faroe Islands, Denmark. dr.alikashif.b(a)ieee.org Awais Ahmad, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea. awais(a)ynu.ac.kr Wael Guibene, Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA. wael.guibene(a)intel.com For any queries, please feel free to contact Syed Hassan Ahmed. ------------------------------------------------------ Syed Hassan Ahmed, Ph.D., MIEEE Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Karin Anna Hummel <karin_anna.hummel(a)JKU.AT> Gesendet: 17. November 2017 15:41:24 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys 2018 - Call for Papers MobiSys 2018 -- Call for Papers =============================== https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/cfp/ MobiSys 2018 seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile systems, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations. We also welcome work that explores new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications as long as the work goes well beyond providing an initial vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems - Innovative mobile, mobile sensing, and mobile crowdsourcing apps - Tools for building and measuring mobile systems - Innovative wearable or mobile devices - Novel software architectures for mobile devices - Data management for mobile applications - Infrastructure support for mobile computing - System-level energy management for mobile devices - Operating systems for mobile devices - Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web - Security and privacy in mobile systems - Systems for location and context sensing and awareness - Mobile computing support for pervasive computing - Vehicular and robotic systems - Systems and networking support for virtual or augmented reality - Applications of mobile systems in health, sustainability, and other domains Non-traditional topics that bring new perspectives to mobile computing papers whose contributions overlap with work currently under review elsewhere must not be submitted to MobiSys. Papers whose contributions overlap with an earlier published paper will be considered only if (1) the previous paper was published (not just accepted) at a workshop at least 6 months before our submission date and (2) it adds significant new contributions over the previous paper. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. MobiSys uses a double-blind review policy during the initial paper review. Authors are instructed to not include their names, affiliations and contact information on the manuscript they submit for review. Authors should also anonymize the content of their paper to hide their identity. Reviewers will not know the identity of the authors during the initial phase of the review process, however, anonymity will expire after the majority of the reviews have been submitted and preliminary outcomes decided. The identities of the authors will be revealed to the reviewers toward the end of the review process. Submissions who are not properly anonymized will be rejected without being reviewed. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on PC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a smaller number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze nonpublic data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval). We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked as a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Best Paper Award ---------------- All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers, and select one or more award papers prior to the conference. Video Presentation ------------------ The authors of each accepted paper will submit a 1-minute video that presents their papers' contributions to a general audience. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. Some of the videos will be featured on the social media channels related to the conference. Important Dates --------------- Abstract Registration: December 1st, 2017, 11:00 PM PST (this corresponds to Dec 2nd, 2017, 07:00 UTC) Paper Submission: December 8th, 2017, 11:00 PM PST (this corresponds to Dec 9th, 2017, 07:00 UTC) Notification of acceptance: March 2nd, 2018 Camera Ready Deadline: May 4th, 2018 Conference: June 10-15, 2018 Contact ------- If you have any questions, please contact Stefan Saroiu (ssaroiu(a)microsoft.com) and Prabal Dutta (prabal(a)berkeley.edu) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Caching (December 1st)
by Lars Wolf 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Caching (December 1st) Datum: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 06:20:26 -0500 Von: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: George Iosifidis <giosifid78(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, please see the CFP below for a forthcoming JSAC Issue on Caching for Communication Systems and Networks. ------------- The ever-increasing volume of data traffic and the proliferation of services with stringent performance requirements constantly outpace the capacity upgrades in wired and wireless networks, and challenge their performance and their economic viability. At the same time, recent developments, such as the advent of SDN and NFV technologies, the deployment of multi-tier wireless systems, and the novel interplay of caching with physical layer techniques can create novel opportunities for reducing this demand-supply gap. In this new era, it is imperative to systematically revisit the role of caching for a variety of reasons: (i) storage becomes an increasingly low-cost resource, in stark contrast with other resources (e.g., spectrum), and can be embedded in equipment of various form factors in large amounts; (ii) novel network architectures emerge such as 5G+ systems and hybrid wired-wireless designs; (iii) new business models appear with Over-The-Top service providers deploying their own infrastructure or cooperating with network operators; (iv) the needs of users are rapidly changing, consuming huge amounts of content on their mobile devices and generating their own content; (v) social networking platforms are heavily affecting network operation creating additional value but also congestion. Storage and caching can play a fundamental role in this emerging era in communication systems and networks, by increasing the performance of the offered services, reducing operating and capital expenditures, and enabling innovative and game-changing business models. This special issue therefore invites submissions of high-quality original technical and survey papers exploring the role of caching in communication systems and networks, including the following non-exhaustive list of topics: Information-theoretic caching analysis: (i) Fundamental limits of caching; (ii) Coded caching design with practical constraints; (iii) Receiver and source memory-enhanced communications; (iv) Scaling laws of cache networks. Caching in next generation wireless systems: (i) HetNet and device-to-device caching; (ii) Edge caching, cooperation and femtocaching; (iii) Joint caching with scheduling, routing and utility maximisation; (iv) Secure caching, privacy preservation. Content caching and delivery: (i) Design of elastic CDNs; (ii) Algorithms for storage and content placement; (iii) Novel aspects of video caching and streaming; (iv) Caching economics; (v) Caching models for ICN. Data analytics for caching: (i) Analysis of request data, time-varying popularity models; (ii) Popularity estimation and prediction of viral content; (iii) Machine learning and optimisation for popularity incentives; (iv) Interplay of social networks and caching algorithms. ----------------- Authors should submit a PDF version of their manuscripts following the IEEE JSAC guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) through EDAS, according to the following schedule: Initial Paper Submission: December 1, 2017 Acceptance notification: March 7, 2018 Final manuscript submission: April 1, 2018 Publication date: Second Quarter 2018 ---------------- Guest Editors Giuseppe Caire Technical University of Berlin, Germany George Iosifidis Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Georgios S.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Deadline Extended - IEEE Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2018) Datum: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 22:40:37 +0000 Von: Luca Bedogni <luca.bedogni4(a)UNIBO.IT> Antwort an: Luca Bedogni <luca.bedogni4(a)UNIBO.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IEEE IQ2S-2018) (in conjunction with IEEE Percom 2018) March 19-23, 2018, Athens, Greece http://www.cs.unibo.it/projects/iq2s-2018 **** Paper Registration Deadline --- November 11, 2017 **** **** Paper Submission Deadline --- November 20, 2017 (extended) **** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Pervasive computing provides an exciting paradigm for supporting anywhere anytime services, and is built on the tremendous advances made in a broad spectrum of technologies including wireless communication, wireless and sensor networking, mobile and distributed computing, as well as signal and information processing. Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move. This data collection paradigm is often called crowdsensing, or crowdsourcing, and builds upon the willingness of users to share data together, which eventually gets aggregated to provide novel services to the community. Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI and QoE provisioning in pervasive computing and mobile crowdsensing are solicited. Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of QoI and QoE include: Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural principles Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification QoI-aware wireless sensor networking Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing for task mapping and scheduling Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration) Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and QoS QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and evaluation QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Energy efficiency in crowdsensed services and applications Protocols enhancement for crowdsensed services Social Internet of things Big data semantic Data science for crowdsensed services Opportunistic crowdsensed services Rewarding mechanism for crowdsensed services Crowdsensed testbeds and platforms Fog computing for IoT Heterogeneous data aggregation NLP techniques for crowdsensed services Machine learning techniques for data aggregation Machine learning techniques for data classification Privacy for crowdsensed data User behavior classification from public data User activity recognition User profiling Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Fog Computing for Industrial Applications" [Deadline: 30 November] Datum: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 19:15:44 -0800 Von: Chunsheng Zhu <chunsheng.tom.zhu(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Chunsheng Zhu <chunsheng.tom.zhu(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG - Call For Paper - IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Fog Computing for Industrial Applications" (http://www.ieee-ies.org/image s/files/tii/ss/2017/CFP-Fog_Computing_for_Industrial_Applica tions_2017-8-10.pdf) - Submission Deadline: 30 November 2017 - Submit manuscript to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii ~ The Theme: Due to the increased number of connected things in industrial applications, the growing volume and velocity of Internet of Things (IoT) data exchange urge for more and more communication resources, leading to the bottleneck in terms of data processing, data latency, and traffic overhead. Fog computing emerges, as an alternative for traditional cloud computing to support geographically distributed, latency sensitive, and QoS-aware IoT applications while reducing the burden of data centers in traditional cloud computing. In particular, fog computing with the features (e.g., low latency, location awareness, and capacity of processing large number of nodes with wireless access) to support heterogeneity and real-time applications is an attractive solution to delay- and resource-constraint large scale industrial applications. However, with the benefits of fog computing, the research challenges arise regarding fog computing for industrial applications. For instance, how to handle different protocols and data format from highly dissimilar data sources in fog layer? How to determine which data should be processed in cloud or be processed in fog layer? How to achieve real-time responses and simultaneous data collection from large heterogeneous sources in industrial applications? Motivated by the above issues, this special section solicits original research and practical contributions which advance the use of fog computing in industries. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. Surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are also considered. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: * Architecture features and evolution for fog computing in industries * Content and service distribution models for fog computing in industries * Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing in industries * Real-time communication interfaces and protocols for fog computing in industries * Energy aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing in industries * Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing in industries * Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing in industries * Security and privacy challenges for fog computing in industries * Testing and evaluation tools for fog computing in industries * Fog computing for real-time monitoring in industries * The future for fog computing in industries: challenges and open issues ~ Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: *http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics <http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics>*.

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: March 01, 2018 Acceptance notification: July 01, 2018 Revised paper due: Septembre 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Fog/Mobile Edge Computing for Internet of Things: Applications and Architectures for Real-Time Analytics Datum: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:06:04 +0500 Von: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-posting] The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new Internet evolution that involves connecting billions of internet-connected devices we refer to as things. With the explosion of things (expected to be 50 billion devices by 2020), cloud computing is challenged in meeting the data processing and computational demands of IoT applications. An emerging approach is to move computation, data, and control from cloud to the edge of the network commonly referred to as Fog/Mobile Edge (FME). The FME enables IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve scalability and energy efficiency of IoT devices, and provide the means for contextual information processing, as well as mitigating the bandwidth burdens of the network. FME provides immense opportunities and capabilities such as geographical distribution, geolocation awareness and device context, support for mobility of devices and access to multitude of network interfaces (from 4G and 5G to Wi-Fi). Such features help satisfy the real-time processing requirements of IoT applications such as flood monitoring, disaster detection and management (e.g., earthquakes), and patient care. However, the massive mobility of IoT edge devices, heterogeneity in communication interfaces, new and emerging communication architectures (e.g., LTE, 5G), emerging network technologies (e.g., SDN, NFV), security and privacy concerns, processing capabilities/limitation of FME servers, and IoT Big Data demand new methods, architectures, and applications in order to realize the full potential of FME for IoT applications. This special issue encourages high quality submissions related to the provision and development of real-time analytics-based IoT applications that exploit the capabilities offered by Fog/Mobile Edge computing. In particular, it aims to examine the prospects and challenges that arise in developing novel Fog/Mobile Edge computing architectures and applications that can address the challenges highlighted earlier. We also welcome quality review articles, which cover gap analysis between the state of the art and the state of the practice in the above area. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - - New Fog/Mobile Edge computing architecture for data sensing and analysis - - Simulation and emulation of IoT application in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Algorithms and techniques for computation offloading from Cloud to Fog/Mobile Edge - - Context management in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Collaborative Fog/Mobile Edge computing in 5G networks - - Beyond LTE and 5G—new networking architectures, for example, SDN, network function virtualization (NFV) to support IoT applications - - Resource allocation in Radio Access networks to support data driven IoT applications - - QoS/QoE provisioning in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Secure network and service access in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Privacy preserved analytics in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Interference control, mitigation, and cancellation in Fog/Mobile Edge Computing - - Cooperative schemes and resource management for interference mitigation in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - New Fog/Mobile Edge data-analytics IoT applications and experiences - - Open issues, challenges, and future perspective of Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Utilization-awareness network schemes for Fog/Mobile Edge Authors can submit their manuscripts through the Manuscript Tracking System athttps://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/wcmc/fecit/.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine SI on Exploring Caching, Communications, Computing and Security for the Emerging Smart Internet of Things Datum: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 08:00:21 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS It is estimated that more than 50 billion devices will be interconnected by 2020, and the generated data traffic will grow by another 1000 times. The evolution of Internet-of-things (IoT) paradigm not only comes with challenges to the research and industrial communities on finding efficient solutions for massive connectivity, but also poses a profound opportunity to reshape the current IoT architectures by exploring the inherent nature of the huge number of smart devices with caching, communications, computing and security capabilities. Smart IoT cannot be simply regarded as an upgrade of current IoT by just adding to or replacing sensors/actuators/RFID tags in smart devices. It should be redesigned from the physical layer to the application layer in a bottom-up way. In the context of smart IoT, communication is essential to guarantee end-to-end connectivity. Together with communications technology, other features, such as caching, computing and security should be fully utilized to complement the current study of IoT. The resulting new structure, by utilizing these inherent features, may have a wider application over current infrastructure-based cellular networks and traditional sensor-based networks by adopting all these features. However, new features also create unexpected problems which can not be directly addressed through the traditional approaches designed for low-rate IoT systems. Thus, how to effectively utilize existing capabilities to address the fundamental challenges in smart IoT remains challenging. Despite the evolution of IoT, some fundamental problems are still open and require immediate investigation. This Feature Topic (FT) aims at providing timely and comprehensive overviews of the current state-of-the art in terms of fundamental theoretical innovations and technological advances towards exploiting smart caching, communications, computing and cybersecurity for smart IoT networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Smart mobile computing, edge computing, cloud computing for IoT Smart content caching, pushing, and distribution for IoT Advances in technology and architecture for smart IoT Smart data collection, sensing, caching, processing, aggregation, communication, and analysis for IoT Software-defined solutions and network functions virtualization for IoT Efficient resource allocation, QoS, and QoE of IoT Novel authentication, access control and intrusion detection for smart IoT Novel cryptography algorithms for content privacy for IoT Experimental results, prototypes and testbed of IoT Energy efficiency and energy harvesting in IoT Emerging IoT applications in 5G networks such as ITS, CPS, smart grid, smart city, smart health, etc. Standardization of caching, communications, computing and security of IoT.
