-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Communications Magazine [Feature Topic on Smart Communities] Datum: Sun, 30 Apr 2017 11:40:58 -0400 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies] --------------------- Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine --------------------- Feature Topic on Imminent Communication Technologies for Smart Communities http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/imminent-communication-technologies-smart-… --------------------- Scope: Most of the research and technological advancements have vitalized the ubiquitous information access and communication around the globe. The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities? What kind of education and training are required for citizens of such communities to take full benefits of the proposed architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make communities smarter? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Communities? In addition, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Community architectures and planning using WSN - The role of IoT in the planning of future Smart Communities - Smart management and services - Deployment of sensors and embedded devices - Smart homes, Buildings, Campuses, and Applications - The role of Cloud Computing in IoT-based Smart Communities - Big Data Analytics and Smart Communities - IoT-enabled devices and technologies - Real-Time data processing using Hadoop, SPARK, GraphLab, etc. - System, design, modeling and evaluation - Industrial applications of Smart Communities - Future Internet cohesion with applications for Smart Communities Guest Editors: Syed Hassan Ahmed, Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Xenofon Fafoutis <xenofon.fafoutis(a)BRISTOL.AC.UK> Gesendet: 28. April 2017 16:16:24 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: IEEE SenseApp 2017, 9-12 October 2017, Singapore (deadline extended) ============================================================== IEEE SenseApp 2017 TWELFTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2017) Singapore 9-12 October 2017 http://www.senseapp.org CALL FOR PAPERS For more than a decade, embedded wireless sensors and actuators have been increasingly networked to continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. 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.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. 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, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the eleven 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 the new directions of challenged networking such as crowdsourcing, mobile cloud/mobile edge/fog computing, IoT, WSN, CPS, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN. 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, out-of-the-box, 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 - 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 - Big data analytics in challenged networking - Software-defined networking in challenged environments - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Network coding in challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles or underwater systems) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo and poster proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages, for demos plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine Special issue on Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks [Deadline: May 15] Datum: Sat, 22 Apr 2017 19:34:59 -0700 Von: Chunsheng Zhu <cszhu(a)ECE.UBC.CA> Antwort an: Chunsheng Zhu <cszhu(a)ECE.UBC.CA> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Communications Magazine Special issue on Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks ------------------- Call for papers Driven by the development of mobile Internet and smart phones, data traffic grows exponentially in current mobile networks. Initial estimations indicate that, different from the evolutionary path of previous cellular generations that were based on spectral efficiency improvements, the most substantial amount of future system performance gains will be obtained by means of network infrastructure densi?cation. The opportunities and challenges of fifth-generation (5G) rapidly gain great attention from academics, industries, and governments. Ultra dense network (UDN) is a promising technique to meet the requirements of explosive data traffic in 5G mobile communications. Moreover, when overlaid on top of the macrocells, low power small cells (such as femtocell and picocell) can improve the coverage and capacity of cellular networks by exploiting spatial reuse of limited spectrum. Dense small cells can also offload the wireless data traffic of user equipments (UEs) from macrocells, especially for an indoor environment where more than 80% of data traffic occurs. This special issue will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to the future mobile networks using Heterogeneous Ultra Dense Networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Advanced radio access network architectures (e.g., Cloud-RAN, Fog-RAN, Backhaul/Fronthaul techniques) to support heterogeneous ultra dense devices and users Coexisting of WiFi, Small Cells, HetNets and LTE/LTE-A sharing unlicensed spectrum Self organizing and heterogeneous ultra dense small cell networks Advanced radio resource management (resource allocation, mobility management, interference management, SON, etc.) for heterogeneous ultra dense 5G networks Software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization, network slicing for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Novel applications and service scenarios of ultra dense 5G networks in vehicular Internet, and IoT Energy harvesting, caching , and cognitive radio for supporting heterogeneous UDNs Energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and big data techniques in heterogeneous ultra dense scenarios Novel multiple access techniques in heterogeneous UDNs, such as SCMA, NOMA, PDMA, MUSA, etc. Supporting network applications, such as video applications for heterogeneous ultra dense networks. Other topics (PHY layer, MAC layer, Network layer) in heterogeneous UDNs ------------------- SUBMISSIONS Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" Datum: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 02:17:40 +0100 Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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.

The competition is aimed at bringing together the academic and industrial research communities for evaluating different approaches and envisioning new research opportunities for the indoor localization area, where no accepted standards exist yet. IPIN 2017 Indoor Localization Competition will consist of several tracks, including on-site and off-site contests. Results will be presented during dedicated sessions of the IPIN conference and prizes will be awarded to the winners. The competition builds on the experience of previous competitions based on EvAAL framework, ensuring experience, solidity and a well-founded scientific method (http://evaal.aaloa.org). Competition Tracks ------------------ Track 1: Smartphone-based Track 2: Pedestrian dead reckoning Track 3: Smartphone-based (off-site) Track 4: PDR for warehouse picking (off-site) Track 1 "Smartphone-based": A pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings carries a smartphone which runs the competing system, without any external aid, using the sensors available on the smartphones to identify the user's position in real time. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by KICS (KR) Track 2: "Pedestrian dead reckoning": The competing system uses MEMS sensors (inertial, compass and altimeter pressure sensors) mounted on the body to localize a pedestrian walking in multi-floor buildings; control and monitoring devices such as a notebook are carried by the user. Prize: 150,000 JPY awarded by ETRI (KR) Track 3: "Smartphone-based (off-site)": The goal is to localize a pedestrian walking under realistic conditions in multi-floor buildings using data provided by a conventional smartphone (WiFi, inertial, magnetic, GPS, pressure, light, ...). Competitors calibrate their algorithms in advance using a ground truth reference database, and compete using new unreferenced data. Prize: to be defined Track 4: "PDR for warehouse picking (off-site)": Data from inertial, pressure and magnetic sensors and BLE data from a smartphone plus picking records from a warehouse management system (WMS) are collected during 3 hours of actual picking work by 8 people carrying a smartphone on their back in a warehouse, with actions including walking, picking and carrying. Competitors obtain sample data and test data to calibrate their algorithms, and compete using separate actual data. Prize: 150,000 JPY or more worth prize awarded by PDR benchmark standardization committee (JP) Technical Competition Details ----------------------------- The evaluation criteria for the competition, restrictions on the accepted technologies, technical rules to follow and a description of the benchmarks are detailed in the technical annexes to this call. Announcements and possible refinements of the annexes, also based on candidate competitors' comments, will be timely distributed on the competition discussion mailing list <contest(a)evaal.aaloa.org> and will appear on the IPIN web site. Maps of the competition area and all the relative information will be provided by the end of April. All the data gathered by the competition committee during the competition, including data produced by competing systems, will be published after the competition for the purpose of research and comparison. Winners of the competition will be announced during the conference. Competitor Admission Process ---------------------------- A "competitor" can be any individual or group of individuals working as a single team, associated to a single or a number of organizations, who wants to participate in one or several tracks. Competitors apply for admission to the competition tracks by providing a short (2 to 4 pages) "technical description" of their localization system, including a description of the algorithms and protocols used. The technical description must be sent by e-mail to the chairs of the intended track. Track chairs will accept or refuse the application in a short time, based on technical feasibility and logistic constraints. After acceptance of the competitor's technical description, one member of the competing team is required to register to the IPIN conference, specifying that the registration is linked to a competition track. Full registration to the conference covers participation in the competition process (allocated time, support and space) and the submission of a paper describing the system. Competitors are required to make an oral presentation of their system during a dedicated session at the IPIN conference. Additionally, competitor teams are invited, but not required, to submit a paper to the conference. The paper will follow the same peer review and publishing process as all the other papers submitted to IPIN. If the paper is work-in-progress, competitors can benefit from relaxed deadline as specified below. Competitors who wish to test their system, but do not want to be included in the public rankings and compared with other competitors, can ask for that special condition in advance to the chairs of the relevant track. Important dates --------------- Technical description: 15 July 2017 Notification of admission: shortly after request Regular paper submission: same as conference Work-in-progress submission: 10 September 2017 Off-site results (track 3): 22 September 2017 Off-site results (track 4): 8 September 2017 Organizing Committee -------------------- General Chairs Francesco Potortì (CNR, Italy) <Potorti(a)isti.cnr.it> Nobuo Kawaguchi (Nagoya University, Japan) <kawaguti(a)nagoya-u.jp> Sangjoon Park (ETRI, South Korea) <sangjoon(a)etri.re.kr> Track 1 chairs: Filippo Palumbo (CNR, IT) Antonino Crivello (CNR, IT) Track 2 chairs: Soyeon Lee (ETRI, KR) Jaehyun Lim (ETRI, KR) Track 3 chairs: Joaquín Torres (Universitat Castellon, ES) Antonio R.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: VLIoT 2017: Deadline Extended! Datum: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 10:42:58 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ******************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Very Large Internet of Things (VLIoT 2017) In conjunction with VLDB 2017 August 28, 2017, Munich, Germany Submission: April 17, 2017 - Submission deadline has been extended! Web: http://www.ifis.uni-luebeck.de/~groppe/vliot ******************************************************************** ** Aims of the Workshop ** An increasing number of real-world objects are becoming accessible and manageable through the Internet. According to CISCO, the number of these devices will reach 50 billion by 2020, forming a very large Internet of Things (VLIoT). This massive number of "smart" objects will cooperate with each other, have their own metadata, and may continuously produce new data (in form of events, sensor data, or actuator states). Data management will be a major challenge in the very large Internet of Things. Hence, efficient IoT infrastructure and technologies must be developed to handle masses of IoT data with high performance. This will include: new techniques to filter and store relevant data; efficient replication approaches for objects with constrained resources in order to increase availability and durability; new protocols for voting about decisions among objects; and smooth integration of heterogeneous objects. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners working in the field of IoT and to allow them to report and exchange their findings addressing these challenges. This workshop also intends to discuss other closely-related technologies such as Nanotechnology, Fog-, Edge-, and Dew-Computing for IoT. The ideas of Fog, Edge and Dew Computing may indeed solve or attenuate the problems of a very large Internet of Things (w.r.t. performance, energy-efficiency, as well as security and privacy aspects). ** Types of Papers ** The workshop welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experience. In particular, we solicit papers of different types: - Research Papers proposing new approaches, theories or techniques related to Internet of Things, including new data structures, algorithms, whole systems, and frameworks. They should make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to the research field. - Experiments and Analysis Papers focusing on the experimental evaluation of existing approaches including data structures and algorithms for Internet of Things and bring new insights through the analysis of these experiments. Results of experiments and analysis papers can be, for example, showing benefits of well-known approaches in new settings and environments, opening new research problems by demonstrating unexpected behavior or phenomena, or comparing a set of traditional approaches in an experimental survey. - Application Papers reporting practical experiences on Internet of Things applications. Application papers might describe specific application domains in the IoT such as smart homes/offices/cities, continuous health care, waste management, emergency response, intelligent response, and Industry 4.0. - Vision Papers identifying emerging or future research issues and directions, and describing new research visions in the IoT area that may have a great impact on our society. ** Topics of Interest ** We welcome papers on the following and other relevant topics: - Semantic IoT - Privacy-by-design and security-by-design in IoT - System architectures for IoT, e.g. - things-centric, - data-centric, - event-centric, and - service-centric. - IoT applications including: - smart homes/offices/cities, - waste management, - health care, - emergency response, and - intelligent shopping. - Nano Technology including: - Nano Networks, - Nano communication, - Nano applications, - Nano computing, and - Internet of Nano Things. - IoT programming toolkits and frameworks - IoT prototypes and evaluation test-beds - IoT data mining and analytics - IoT management and interoperability - Management of IoT streams - Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT - Spatial and temporal reasoning for IoT - Sustainability of IoT platforms, e.g. business models for deployment and maintenance - Societal challenges and IoT, e.g. urban planning and decision making tools - Ownership of data in IoT scenarios - Fog, Edge and Dew Computing for IoT - IoT benchmarks and performance measurement - Indexing and search in IoT environments - IoT transactions, concurrency control and recovery - Hardware accelerators and energy savers for IoT applications and core infrastructure - IoT discovery of devices, services and data ** Workshop Chairs ** - Sven Groppe, University of Lübeck, Germany - Carlo Alberto Boano, Graz University of Technology, Austria ******************************************************************** -- .................................................

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Gesendet: 3. April 2017 09:41:29 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME -------------- Ever-growing volume of data and information is being captured from systems, machines and devices and made available to IT systems. The information is processed on-the-fly enabling IT-based management systems to make decisions for real-time control of the manufacturing process. This data capturing and collection for IT systems is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). When adopted to the industrial automation systems where robustness, reliability, security and latency and jitters are highly desired performance requirements, it is often called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial communication systems today primarily consist of legacy systems such as HART, Foundation FIELDBUS, CAN and Profibus - well-working and established industry-specific networks installed in millions of systems. In the last decades, there has been a push for IP-based technology which has made Ethernet become a popular communication infrastructure. But to meet the stringent timing requirements of industrial applications, it has been necessary to implement real-time functionality. The communication plays a central role for the availability of all relevant information in real-time. Furthermore, it is indisputable that the mobility of objects involved in the production as well as the necessary flexibility of the production require wireless communication systems. The need for wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications. In order to fully exploit the potentials offered by wireless communication for monitoring, control and automation applications, there is a further need for time-constrained communication protocols that provide bounded latency together with high reliability or energy efficiency. In addition, wireless automation applications need to interact with legacy wired communications systems and provide equivalent levels of security and dependability. Furthermore, industrial settings are highly dynamic environments which call for the ability to adapt to changes in the operating conditions while still not violating the time-constraints of the applications. Given the above scenarios, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains, namely from factory automation to industrial process monitoring and control, from traffic, environmental, building and structural monitoring to mobile robotics, from vehicular communication to energy management and healthcare applications. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. The goal of this special section is to attract papers addressing the main research issues in design, development, adoption and applications of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Industrial Internet-of-Things. IIoT provides a great opportunity to new gains in flexibility and productivity but also challenges as to how to merge existing installations to these new technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture and protocol design for industrial IoT systems * 5G for future industrial automation * Security, safety and privacy issues in industrial wireless networks and applications * Deployment, integration and case studies of IWSN and IIoT * Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of industrial IoT systems * Embedded industrial IoT applications * Intelligent M2M Communications in industrial IoT * Cognitive IIoT * Cloud-based IIoT solutions The use of information technology also opens up new application areas for automation systems. Examples include but are not limited to: * Smart Manufacturing and Web-of-Things in the factory line * Process, Factory, Home and Building Automation * Smart grids / Smart metering * Industrial Robotics and Automation * Smart and Connected Health MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION --------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii. On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial Internet-of-Things".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM SenSys 2017: Call for Papers (updated) Datum: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:51:51 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -=* The 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) *=- Call for Papers To help prospective authors concentrate their efforts on one paper at a time, the abstract registration and submission deadline for “new directions” papers is shifted by three weeks. Check below the new dates. Sensors have become an essential part of computing systems and applications. Computing today is increasingly characterised by ubiquitous, information-rich sensors that produce massive quantities of data about the physical world. This new era of computing is driving important new systems issues, and requires new system-level approaches and design principles. The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2017) is a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design, implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as sensor-enabled smart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and applications. ACM SenSys is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. The conference takes a broad view on the areas of computing that are relevant to the future of sensor systems, and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * New platforms and hardware designs for sensor-enabled systems * Systems software, including operating systems and network stacks * Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management * Applications and deployment experiences * Protocols for sensing devices and their connection to the Internet * Mobile and pervasive systems, including personal wearable devices and robots * Sensing, actuation, and control * Key system services such as time and location estimation * Data management, including quality, integrity, and trustworthiness * Learning, adaptation, and autonomy in cyber physical systems * Fault-tolerance and reliability * Heterogeneous multi-agent sensing, including human-robot sensor systems * Security and privacy of sensor-enabled computer systems We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative sensor systems. Successful submissions will explain why the topic is relevant to a vision of the future of sensing systems. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of the their own. Ethical approval for experiments with human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission. In addition to regular papers around the topics above, ACM SenSys this year solicits new directions papers discussing the future of sensor-enabled computer systems. New direction papers shall present a compelling vision of the field five years from now, discuss what current or foreseeable technologies hold the highest potential within this time frame, and argue on what are the key research problems the community needs to tackle right now to eventually realize this vision. New direction papers will be reviewed separately by the SenSys steering committee. Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings, alongside regular papers, and their authors will be invited to a panel session, together with leading experts, to share their vision. "New directions" papers are required to follow the same submission guidelines, but be limited to 6 pages everything included. Submission Guidelines Submissions must be full papers, at most 12 single-spaced 8.5” x 11” pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point (tight single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7” wide x 9” deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25”. Submissions may include as many pages as needed for references. The review process is double-blind. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Prior works of their own must be discussed by referring to the authors in third person. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be reviewed. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library at least one week before the conference. Important Dates Regular papers: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 3, 2017, AOE. Paper Submission Deadline: April 10, 2017, AOE. “New directions” papers: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 24, 2017, AOE. Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2017, AOE. Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 17, 2017. Note: These are hard deadlines. No extension will be granted.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: (deadline extension) Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems Datum: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 07:46:05 -0400 Von: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems Integration of embedded computing, sensing and wireless communication that has fueled the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), will also lead to the design and exploitation of a new generation of cooperating autonomous systems. The components of such systems will be high-end devices, such as autonomous machines, UAVs and robots, self-driving cars, virtual reality-based systems. Such systems pose new challenges to wireless networks, which have been traditionally designed for mobile broadband applications. Most current scenarios for device-to-device communications are based on the design and exploitation of simple sensor-actuator systems, and their architecture remains dependent on computation and battery limitations. Such constraints are not applicable for resource-rich advanced systems that must always perform at the highest levels of reliability, and may be tasked with demanding communication requirements for specialized missions and tasks, such as road-safety, disaster preventio n and management or focussed monitoring of sensitive sites and infrastructures. In fact, the interactions needed within such complex and comparatively large-scale systems will demand extremely low latency, significantly higher reliability, uniform and ubiquitous network availability, more power efficient designs, and sharp transient spikes in information exchange resulting from distributed cooperation. Furthermore, as humans may have an active or passive role within these systems, merging of human interaction and response times along with safety and exposure to cyberattacks must be jointly considered, e.g. in the automotive industry, where the threat of attack vectors in wireless communication using V2V/V2I/V2X paradigms, significantly increased life risks. This special issue will highlight emerging applications as well as enabling wireless communication and networking technologies and architectures to support future autonomous systems. Emphasis will be given to breakthrough research in device/network co-design solutions that efficiently integrate sensing, computing and communication and exploit context awareness at various levels to dramatically improve wireless network performance across multiple dimensions: ultra-low latency, high reliability, uniform availability, improved bandwidth and power efficiency. The special issue will also cover test-beds and demonstration of system design and development for such networks. Topics of Interest In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - Autonomous systems design and applications - Time sensitive networks for mission critical control systems - Network technologies and architectures for specialized high-end systems - 5G networks for mission critical applications - Context-aware networking protocol design - Specialized devices interactions and communication - V2X Communication for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) - Cooperative and synchronized self-driving vehicles - Privacy, safety and cyberattacks mitigation in COCOAS - Demonstrations and test-beds of autonomous distributed systems (e.g. autonomous vehicles, UAVs) - Simulation tools and experimental studies Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE COMMAG FT - Advanced Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Intelligent IoT Datum: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 00:56:31 +0600 Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies, for multiple copies of this CFP due to cross-posting] Dear Colleagues, Please find below the CFP for our IEEE COMMAG Feature Topic on Advanced Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Intelligent IoT. Kindly submit your papers within the deadline: *01 July, 2017* Best Regards, Sakib On behalf of the Guest Editors ======================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERSFeature TopicAdvanced Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Intelligent IoTIEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE* URL: http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/advanced-industrial-wireless-sensor-networ… Over the past decade, the fast expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm and wireless communication technologies have created many scientific and engineering challenges that call for ingenious research efforts from both academia and industry. The IoT paradigm now covers several technologies beyond RFID and WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) and the application field expansion has exceeded expectations. According to Cisco IBSG (Internet Business Solution Group), more than 50 billion devices are expected to be connected to the internet by 2020 and 20 % of which are from the industry sector. Therefore, integrating the IoT concept and Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs) is an attractive choice for industrial process and is mainly needed to reap the full benefits of the IoT. Indeed, IWSNs are an emerging class of WSNs that face specific constraints linked to the particularities of the industrial production. IWSNs bring several advantages and have become inseparable from the manufacturing process due to their low-cost, reliability and robustness in harsh environments, energy efficiency and mobility. IWSNs involve large amount of wireless devices such as sensors for failure monitoring and detection and RFID tags for machine identification. Combining IWSN with IoT may optimize the operational efficiency, automation, maintenance and rationalization. Moreover, it ensures large scale interconnection between machines, computers and people enabling intelligent industrial operations. However, IWSN and IoT integration will need to solve a more complex challenge of combining reliable communications and low- cost computing together. The aim of this Feature Topic (FT) is to address together innovative developments resorting to the state-of-the-art technologies and ideas in areas related to advanced industrial wireless sensor networks and intelligent IoT. The FT is seeking latest findings from research and ongoing projects relevant to industrial networks’ smart integration with IoT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Intelligent Middleware for IWSN Integration - Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - Energy Efficient Technologies for Industrial Networks interconnection - Cloud Computing for IoT over Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks - Big Data Analysis and Mining for IIoT *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

März 2017 20:03:36 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: special issue in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems- Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems* IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Scope:* Connected Vehicles is one of many applications that can be integrated in the Intelligent Transportation Systems, encompassing all aspects of road transport, traffic management, mobility management and vehicle communication. Recently it has been further enhanced by the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Connected Vehicles enables any vehicle, anywhere, to act as a smart node, collecting and sharing information on vehicles, roads and the surroundings. This information can then be distributed to other vehicles, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, and road users, vehicle-to-human (V2H) communication, for an improved road experience. Information can also be forwarded towards traffic control systems, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, for improved traffic management and road safety. Implementation of connected vehicles in intelligent transportation systems will revolutionize the way we drive. There are however many issues that need to be resolved to achieve maximum potential including privacy and security issues, data processing and storage, development of standards and regulations across all platforms, establishing new communication protocols and system architectures and the creation of new services and applications. This Special Issue on “Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems” is focused on intelligent transportation systems using vehicle communications and their applications, protocols, standards, and advanced technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Connected vehicles and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) • Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication • Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication • Design and development of communications protocols and infrastructure and standards for connected vehicles • Control, Modeling, Simulation and experiments for connected vehicles • Testing, evaluation and verification • Vehicle location prediction • Event detection based on V2V and V2I connectivity • Peer-to-Peer data sharing • Context-Aware Internet of Things Services for intelligent transportation • Context Aware Computing and Internet of Things Services in intelligent transportation • Authentication and secure V2V communication in IoV *Important Dates:* Tentative schedule for the Special Issue is as follows: • First submission deadline: June 1st, 2017 • Notification of first decision: September 15th, 2017. • First revision submission deadline: October 15th, 2017. • Notification of final decision: December 1st, 2017. . • Final manuscript (camera ready) submission deadline: February 1st, 2018. • Issue of Publication: July 2018. *Manuscript Submission* Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its by selecting "Special Issue on Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems". *Guest Editors* Reza Malekian, (Lead Guest Editor) University of Pretoria, South Africa Kui Wu, University of Victoria, Canada Kris Steenhaut, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics "From IWSN to Industrial IoT Datum: Sun, 19 Mar 2017 16:07:02 +0000 Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Antwort an: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017<calendar:T2:July%201,%202017> This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME -------------- Ever-growing volume of data and information is being captured from systems, machines and devices and made available to IT systems. The information is processed on-the-fly enabling IT-based management systems to make decisions for real-time control of the manufacturing process. This data capturing and collection for IT systems is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). When adopted to the industrial automation systems where robustness, reliability, security and latency and jitters are highly desired performance requirements, it is often called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial communication systems today<calendar:T5:today> primarily consist of legacy systems such as HART, Foundation FIELDBUS, CAN and Profibus - well-working and established industry-specific networks installed in millions of systems. In the last decades, there has been a push for IP-based technology which has made Ethernet become a popular communication infrastructure. But to meet the stringent timing requirements of industrial applications, it has been necessary to implement real-time functionality. The communication plays a central role for the availability of all relevant information in real-time. Furthermore, it is indisputable that the mobility of objects involved in the production as well as the necessary flexibility of the production require wireless communication systems. The need for wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications. In order to fully exploit the potentials offered by wireless communication for monitoring, control and automation applications, there is a further need for time-constrained communication protocols that provide bounded latency together with high reliability or energy efficiency. In addition, wireless automation applications need to interact with legacy wired communications systems and provide equivalent levels of security and dependability. Furthermore, industrial settings are highly dynamic environments which call for the ability to adapt to changes in the operating conditions while still not violating the time-constraints of the applications. Given the above scenarios, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains, namely from factory automation to industrial process monitoring and control, from traffic, environmental, building and structural monitoring to mobile robotics, from vehicular communication to energy management and healthcare applications. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. The goal of this special section is to attract papers addressing the main research issues in design, development, adoption and applications of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Industrial Internet-of-Things. IIoT provides a great opportunity to new gains in flexibility and productivity but also challenges as to how to merge existing installations to these new technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture and protocol design for industrial IoT systems * 5G for future industrial automation * Security, safety and privacy issues in industrial wireless networks and applications * Deployment, integration and case studies of IWSN and IIoT * Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of industrial IoT systems * Embedded industrial IoT applications * Intelligent M2M Communications in industrial IoT * Cognitive IIoT * Cloud-based IIoT solutions The use of information technology also opens up new application areas for automation systems. Examples include but are not limited to: * Smart Manufacturing and Web-of-Things in the factory line * Process, Factory, Home and Building Automation * Smart grids / Smart metering * Industrial Robotics and Automation * Smart and Connected Health MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION --------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

Recently it has been further enhanced by the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Connected Vehicles enables any vehicle, anywhere, to act as a smart node, collecting and sharing information on vehicles, roads and the surroundings. This information can then be distributed to other vehicles, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, and road users, vehicle-to-human (V2H) communication, for an improved road experience. Information can also be forwarded towards traffic control systems, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, for improved traffic management and road safety. Implementation of connected vehicles in intelligent transportation systems will revolutionize the way we drive. There are however many issues that need to be resolved to achieve maximum potential including privacy and security issues, data processing and storage, development of standards and regulations across all platforms, establishing new communication protocols and system architectures and the creation of new services and applications. This Special Issue on “Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems” is focused on intelligent transportation systems using vehicle communications and their applications, protocols, standards, and advanced technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Connected vehicles and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) • Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication • Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication • Design and development of communications protocols and infrastructure and standards for connected vehicles • Control, Modeling, Simulation and experiments for connected vehicles • Testing, evaluation and verification • Vehicle location prediction • Event detection based on V2V and V2I connectivity • Peer-to-Peer data sharing • Context-Aware Internet of Things Services for intelligent transportation • Context Aware Computing and Internet of Things Services in intelligent transportation • Authentication and secure V2V communication in IoV Papers which are unrelated or peripherally related to transportation will not be accepted. *Important Dates:* Tentative schedule for the Special Issue is as follows: • First submission deadline: June 1st, 2017 • Notification of first decision: September 15th, 2017. • First revision submission deadline: October 15th, 2017. • Notification of final decision: December 1st, 2017. . • Final manuscript (camera ready) submission deadline: February 1st, 2018. • Issue of Publication: July 2018. *Manuscript Submission* Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/t-its by selecting "Special Issue on Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems". *Guest Editors* Reza Malekian, (reza.malekian(a)ieee.org) [Lead Guest Editor] University of Pretoria, South Africa Kui Wu, University of Victoria, Canada Kris Steenhaut, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Chunyu Ai <aic(a)USCUPSTATE.EDU> Gesendet: 9. März 2017 04:34:24 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 1st IEEE Symposium on Privacy-Aware Computing IEEE PAC 2017 August 1-3, 2017 Washington DC, USA With the continuous proliferation of diverse Internet-based computing paradigms, large amounts of data containing privacy-sensitive information are being constantly published, collected, processed, and archived. This trend will be further fueled up by the new development of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, smart cities, e-health, e-commerce, social and behavioral studies, social networking, edge computing, and cloud computing. As a result, fast-growing concerns about data privacy from academia as well as industry emerge in recent years, which motivate researchers and practitioners to think about questions such as how to guarantee that the collected or published data are not misused; how to ensure that data processing does not disclose any sensitive information; how to store the data securely for privacy protection; how to define new privacy policies that allow desirable services; and how to make sure that privacy policies issued by government and industry are not violated. The IEEE Symposium on Privacy-Aware Computing (IEEE PAC) brings together experts from academia, government, and industry to present and discuss recent advances and new perspectives on related research and development in privacy-aware computing. We invite original theoretical contributions as well as system implementation/experimentation works on all topics related to "making computing privacy-aware" for privacy protection. Particularly, IEEE PAC solicits unpublished results in privacy threats and vulnerabilities of emerging applications for various computing platforms (mobile, IoT, cloud, social network, etc.), privacy-aware algorithms for big data analytics and networking, novel methodologies for privacy-protection (modern cryptography, game theory, etc.), policies for privacy-aware computing, etc. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following subject categories: Privacy-aware mobile computing Privacy-aware information retrieval Privacy-aware computation outsourcing Privacy-preserving data collection Privacy-aware data mining and machine learning Privacy-aware financial technology Privacy-aware bio-computing Privacy-aware social computing Differential privacy and data perturbation techniques Privacy-aware database systems Privacy issues in wearable computing and e-healthcare Privacy issues in Internet of Things Privacy issues in web services Privacy issues in network systems Privacy issues in wireless systems Privacy issues in mobile sensing Privacy issues in social and behavioral studies Location/Localization privacy Anonymous Communications Privacy issues in software defined networks Privacy technologies for digital currency and mobile payment Hardware-related privacy technologies Privacy threats and countermeasures Policy issues for privacy-aware computing We solicit regular papers that present novel and unpublished research results. Position papers that define new problems or provide visions and clarifications in privacy-aware computing are particularly welcome. Besides, we will include an industry/government track, which will contain talks, demos, and exhibitions from non-academia organizations, to demonstrate the recent advances in privacy products and prototypes, and present and discuss critical challenges, government policies, upcoming research directions, etc. The goal of this industry/government track is to further foster collaborations between academia, industry, and government, so as to more effectively push the frontier of privacy-aware computing.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM SenSys 2017: Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 15:07:42 +0100 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -=* The 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) *=- Call for Papers Sensors have become an essential part of computing systems and applications. Computing today is increasingly characterized by ubiquitous, information-rich sensors that produce massive quantities of data about the physical world. This new era of computing is driving important new systems issues, and requires new system-level approaches and design principles. The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2017) is a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design, implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as sensor-enabled smart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and applications. ACM SenSys is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. The conference takes a broad view on the areas of computing that are relevant to the future of sensor systems, and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * New platforms and hardware designs for sensor-enabled systems * Systems software, including operating systems and network stacks * Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management * Applications and deployment experiences * Protocols for sensing devices and their connection to the Internet * Mobile and pervasive systems, including personal wearable devices and robots * Sensing, actuation, and control * Key system services such as time and location estimation * Data management, including quality, integrity, and trustworthiness * Learning, adaptation, and autonomy in cyber physical systems * Fault-tolerance and reliability * Heterogeneous multi-agent sensing, including human-robot sensor systems * Security and privacy of sensor-enabled computer systems We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative sensor systems. Successful submissions will explain why the topic is relevant to a vision of the future of sensing systems. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of the their own. Ethical approval for experiments with human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission. In addition to regular papers around the topics above, ACM SenSys this year solicits new directions papers discussing the future of sensor-enabled computer systems. New direction papers shall present a compelling vision of the field five years from now, discuss what current or foreseeable technologies hold the highest potential within this time frame, and argue on what are the key research problems the community needs to tackle right now to eventually realize this vision. New direction papers will be reviewed separately by the SenSys steering committee. Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings, alongside regular papers, and their authors will be invited to a panel session, together with leading experts, to share their vision. "New directions" papers are required to follow the same submission guidelines, but be limited to 6 pages everything included. Submission Guidelines Submissions must be full papers, at most 12 single-spaced 8.5” x 11” pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point (tight single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7” wide x 9” deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25”.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems Datum: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 17:21:22 -0500 Von: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Enrico Natalizio <Ienatalizio(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks SI on Advances in Wireless Communication and Networking for Cooperating Autonomous Systems Integration of embedded computing, sensing and wireless communication that has fueled the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), will also lead to the design and exploitation of a new generation of cooperating autonomous systems. The components of such systems will be high-end devices, such as autonomous machines, UAVs and robots, self-driving cars, virtual reality-based systems. Such systems pose new challenges to wireless networks, which have been traditionally designed for mobile broadband applications. Most current scenarios for device-to-device communications are based on the design and exploitation of simple sensor-actuator systems, and their architecture remains dependent on computation and battery limitations. Such constraints are not applicable for resource-rich advanced systems that must always perform at the highest levels of reliability, and may be tasked with demanding communication requirements for specialized missions and tasks, such as road-safety, disaster preventio n and management or focussed monitoring of sensitive sites and infrastructures. In fact, the interactions needed within such complex and comparatively large-scale systems will demand extremely low latency, significantly higher reliability, uniform and ubiquitous network availability, more power efficient designs, and sharp transient spikes in information exchange resulting from distributed cooperation. Furthermore, as humans may have an active or passive role within these systems, merging of human interaction and response times along with safety and exposure to cyberattacks must be jointly considered, e.g. in the automotive industry, where the threat of attack vectors in wireless communication using V2V/V2I/V2X paradigms, significantly increased life risks. This special issue will highlight emerging applications as well as enabling wireless communication and networking technologies and architectures to support future autonomous systems. Emphasis will be given to breakthrough research in device/network co-design solutions that efficiently integrate sensing, computing and communication and exploit context awareness at various levels to dramatically improve wireless network performance across multiple dimensions: ultra-low latency, high reliability, uniform availability, improved bandwidth and power efficiency. The special issue will also cover test-beds and demonstration of system design and development for such networks. Topics of Interest In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to - Autonomous systems design and applications - Time sensitive networks for mission critical control systems - Network technologies and architectures for specialized high-end systems - 5G networks for mission critical applications - Context-aware networking protocol design - Specialized devices interactions and communication - V2X Communication for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) - Cooperative and synchronized self-driving vehicles - Privacy, safety and cyberattacks mitigation in COCOAS - Demonstrations and test-beds of autonomous distributed systems (e.g. autonomous vehicles, UAVs) - Simulation tools and experimental studies Submission Format and Guideline All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as “SI: Cooperating Systems” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. The EES website is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/ All papers will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers.

Held in conjunction with 37th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (IEEE ICDCS 2017) http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc17/cfp **************************************** Call For Papers Serverless Computing (Serverless) is emerging as a new and compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and micro services. Many of the major cloud vendors, have released serverless platforms within the last two years, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM OpenWhisk. There is, however, little attention from the research community. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and thoughts on future directions. Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control, cost, and flexibility. For example, this requires developers to more carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute, memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that developers face are the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable, and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear, including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be applied to composition in a serverless environment. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers. The latest version of this CFP is available at http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc17/cfp **************************************** Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in serverless computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Infrastructure and network optimizations for serverless applications * Debugging serverless applications * Programming models * Use cases, experiences * Benchmarks * Cost models, pricing models, and economics of serverless * DevOps (customer side) * Other topics related to serverless computing **************************************** Important Dates Paper Submission: March 10, 2017 Notification of Acceptance: April 2nd, 2017 Final Camera-Ready Manuscript Due: April 10th, 2017 Workshop Date: June 5th, 2017 Papers and Submissions Papers must be written in English, and they have to be in PDF or Word format.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Psaras, Ioannis" <i.psaras(a)UCL.AC.UK> Gesendet: 28. Februar 2017 22:39:33 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on Information-Centric Fog Computing (ICFC) at IFIP Networking 2017 — Note deadline extended to March 13th — ====== Call For Papers ====== Workshop on Information-Centric Fog Computing (ICFC) (in conjunction with IFIP Networking 2017) 12-16 June 2017, Stockholm, Sweden Web: http://networking.ifip.org/2017/index.php/workshops/workshop-on-information… === Overview === Fog Computing aims to support the Internet of Things (IoT) through ultra low latency, ultra fast data processing, high security and reliability and highly efficient resource utilisation. However, the current approaches to Fog/Edge Computing have raised some concerns with respect to privacy; for example, extending CDN DNS redirection and private key delegation models to numerous applications increases the likelihood of exposing the edge to further attacks. There is also the challenge of supporting hierarchical and/or multi-access scenarios that go beyond traditional telco-controlled access provision. Furthermore, providing compute resources at the VM-level of granularity may not be suitable for some lightweight and short-lived functions, especially for IoT. These challenges call for alternative networking models that can support higher fluidity in distributing in-network functions, in addition to allowing fast and scalable processing and exchange of information. Over the recent years, Information-centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a networking paradigm that places information exchange, for the purpose of its processing, in the foreground. ICN brings advantages related to the security, management and dissemination of information, through flexible and information-based routing policies; combining these advantages with the ability to temporarily and spatially decouple communication entities, ICN seems well suited for the Fog Computing paradigm, since computation can happen at the right place any time by virtue of publishing and subscribing to it. This workshop aims at stimulating research focused on the networking models, communication frameworks and security solutions required to facilitate Fog Computing. The research directions will focus on accommodating the requirements of data processing and information networking within emerging, information-focused, networking paradigms such as ICN. This is reflected in a number of aspects, including: enabling short-term content caching, fluid distribution of in-network functions, high-speed data analysis, programmable control and management planes, resiliency and security of fog networks, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, coordinated management, resource consumption, privacy and orchestration of data processing and information production. The outcomes of the workshop should levitate communication frameworks that have the ability to accommodate the immense expansion of business models, applications and services, within future Fog networks. The workshop solicits papers that address aspects of the above areas with a main focus on facilitating networking solutions that enable dynamic and flexible fog networking through joining concepts of softwarisation and virtualisation paradigms for better management and dissemination of information. We encourage papers that address cross-layer research issues in any combination of these areas, bridging the gaps between IoT, Fog/edge Computing, ICN, Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and SDN. === Topics of Interest === The list of topics include (but are not limited to): ● Information-Centric Fog models ● Content and service distribution models in Fog computing ● Caching, replication and relaying models in Information-centric Fog networks ● Dynamic in-network computation, e.g., Named Function Networking ● Implementation insights of Fog & Information-centric Networking architectures ● Virtualisation in Fog systems and Information-centric Networking ● Security and privacy challenges in Fog computing ● Novel compensation models, such as utilising block-chains ● Computation and communication abstractions ● Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for Fog networks ● IoT data storage, analysis and networking in cloud-based ICN ● Programmability in Fog networks ● Fog computing in constrained networks ● Testing and evaluation tools ● Self-organisation/configuration of Fog resources using Information-centric approaches ● Traffic models for Information-centric Fog networks ● Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks used for Fog computing === Important Dates === ● Submission deadline: March 13, 2017 ● Acceptance notification: April 10, 2017 ● Program available online: April 19, 2017 ● Camera ready deadline: April 27, 2017 === Submission Guidelines === All submissions should be written in the English language, with a maximum length limit of 6 printed pages (IEEE two-column format, 10pt), including all the figures, references, and appendices. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IFIP ICFC 2017 and published in the IFIP. Further details on the required paper format, as well as a link to the EDAS submission site can be found at the workshop’s website. === Committees === ++ Workshop Chairs ++ George Polyzos, Athens University of Economics and Business Dirk Trossen, InterDigital Europe Kun Yang, University of Essex ++ Technical Program Chairs ++ Dirk Kutscher, Huawei Ioannis Psaras, University College London ++ Organising Committee ++ Mays AL-Naday, University of Essex Pekka Nikander, Ll co-op, Aalto University Börje Ohlman, Ericsson Research Martin J Reed, University of Essex ++ Technical Program Committee ++ Mohammed AL-Khalidi, University of Essex Mays AL-Naday, University of Essex Shingo Ata, Osaka University Giovanna Carofiglio, Cisco Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University Petri Laari, Ericsson Research Chathura Magurawalage, University of Essex Nicola Blefari Melazzi, University of Rome – Tor Vergata Marc Mosko, PARC Börje Ohlman, Ericsson Research Christos Papadopoulos, Colorado State University Michalis Polychronakis, Stony Brook University Ioannis Psaras, University College London Janne Riihijärvi, RWTH Aachen University Eve Schooler, Intel (US) Nikos Thomos, University of Essex Dirk Trossen, InterDigital Europe Gareth Tyson, Queen Mary University of London Matthias Wählisch, Freie Universität Berlin Cedric Westphal, Huawei (US) Mick Wilson, Fujitsu (UK) George Xylomenos, Athens University of Economics and Business Lixia Zhang, UCLA ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2017 18:21:11 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
