-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Kuvs-elg] CfP ARM 2016 Trento Datum: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:00:52 +0200 Von: Kurt Geihs <geihs(a)uni-kassel.de> An: KUVS-ELG <kuvs-elg(a)gi-ev.de>, gi3abs-l(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Call for Papers 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) held in conjunction with ACM/IFIP/USENIX ACM International Middleware Conference Trento, Italy, 12-16 December, 2016 IMPORTANT DATES (GMT/UTC-12) August 19, 2016 - Abstract submission August 26, 2016 - Paper submission October 3, 2016 - Notification of Acceptance October 17, 2016 - Final version The 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2016) follows on the success of over a decade of previous editions exploring how reflective approaches and associated techniques can support the life-cycle of adaptive middleware platforms. Such systems must adapt and tailor their behavior and properties to increasing levels of dynamism and unprecedented scales. Adaptation and reflection mechanisms must take into account novel models of computation and new classes of applications such as networked and cloud applications, the Internet of Things and their combination. Applying reflective techniques to open-up the implementation of middleware and related software platforms for interoperability, one-to-many deployment, and adaptability proved particularly successful and influential. Reflection by itself is today considered a baseline. Its combination with other software adaptation techniques has proven beneficial to extend the reach to different layers of the software stack. Further consolidating this approach can allow delivering the flexibility demanded by today’s ever diversifying middleware environments, which require higher and higher degrees of adaptability and resilience. ARM 2016 aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the challenging problems that remain unsolved. This edition follows the path initiated in recent editions, by bringing together experts involved in designing and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers, including architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network layers, as well as in using techniques that are complementary to reflection. The workshop will provide an exciting environment in which to leverage cooperation among researchers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Design and performance of adaptive and/or reflective middleware platforms; - Experiences with adaptive and reflective technologies in specific domains (e.g., sensor networks, ubiquitous/pervasive computing, mobile computing, Internet of Things, cloud/grid computing, P2P, Systems-of-Systems); - Cross-layer interactions and adaptation mechanisms including network, OS, VM & device level techniques; - Adaptation and reflection in the presence of heterogeneous execution and programming paradigms; - Application of adaptive and reflective middleware techniques to achieve: reconfigurability and/or adaptability and/or separation of concerns; reuse; and reification of adaptation techniques and strategies; - Incorporating non-functional properties into middleware: real-time, fault-tolerance, security, trust, privacy and so on; - Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection, adaptation and control, as it relates to middleware and its interaction with other layers; - Techniques to improve performance and/or scalability of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Evaluation methodologies for adaptive and reflective middleware; guidelines, testbeds and benchmarks; - Approaches to maintain the integrity of adaptive and reflective technologies; convergence of adaptation. - Tool support for adaptive and reflective middleware; - Design and programming abstractions to manage the complexity of adaptive and reflective mechanisms; - Software engineering methodologies for the design and development of adaptive middleware; - Methods for reasoning, storing and dynamically updating knowledge about the services provided by adaptive/reflective middleware; - The role of techniques such as learning in the design of long-lived adaptive middleware; - Methods for asynchronous, distributed, control, coordination/cooperation among components providing middleware services; - Metrics on properties such as cost-of-adaptation, quality-of-adaptation, consistency-of-adaptation, yields.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols Submission Deadline: Nov 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols. The operation of modern electronic communication devices rely on constant energy sources such as DC power obtained from AC sources via AC to DC conversion or small chargeable/replaceable batteries. However, in some cases, providing constant energy source is not feasible. Due to the advancement in technology, energy harvesting technologies can be exploited to power-up the modern day electronic communication devices. These energy harvesting technologies rely on energy sources naturally present in the environment, such as solar energy, wind energy, and heat energy. Moreover, energy can also be acquired from the human body from movement of different parts of the body such as walking, heartbeat, movement of arms, just to name a few. All these energy harvesting technologies and techniques may satisfy the need of energy for low power communication devices and may enable the charging of electronic mobile devices anywhere and at any time. In this Special Section, we focus on the most recent advances in the interdisciplinary research areas encompassing the Energy Harvesting domain. This special section will bring together researchers from diverse fields and specializations, such as communications engineering, computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, bio-medical engineering, education sector, mathematics and specialists in the areas related to energy harvesting technologies.

This year's conference will be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The submission deadline is August 30, 2016. Details on the CFP are reported below. Best regards, Claudia Campolo Assistant Professor University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy E-mail: claudia.campolo(a)unirc.it ---------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) Columbus, Ohio, USA 8-10 December, 2016 More information is available at: http://www.ieee-vnc.org/ ======================== Connected vehicles are becoming a cornerstone of the increasingly connected world and the deployment phase of the first generation of vehicular networks is now closer than ever. Manufacturers plan to introduce new cars into the market with V2V and V2I communication systems as soon as 2019 (estimated). Large-scale testbeds are running or planned in different parts of the world, such as the Cooperative ITS Corridor that connects Austria, Germany and Netherlands, and the USDOT plan to install V2V technology in 10,000 city-owned vehicles in New York City. On the other hand, the technology will continue to evolve. In parallel to the deployment phase, multiple discussions are taking place at different levels and in different forums about the next generation of vehicular networks. The 3GPPP has launched a Work Item to study the feasibility of LTE-based V2X services and connected vehicles are being considered a relevant part of the future 5G ecosystem. The automated (and connected) vehicle will soon come into play and may significantly change the roots of vehicular networks. The 2016 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. In addition to the standard full and short paper tracks, IEEE VNC 2016 will continue the tradition from previous editions to include a poster and demo session to allow the authors to closely interact with and obtain feedback from the conference audience on new or ongoing research contributions related to vehicular communications and networking. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2016 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We solicit proposals for demonstrations from industry and academia related to vehicular networking. Submissions should showcase innovative systems and prototypes developed for either commercial use or for research purposes. We especially encourage demos on validating important research issues or showcasing prototypes that demonstrate realistic applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * 5G technologies for connected vehicles * Communications and networking for automated and semi-automated vehicles * Congestion and awareness control in vehicular networks * Novel technologies for V2X (TVWS, LTE-D, VLC, etc.) * Safety and non-safety applications of vehicular networks, including ITS * V2V, V2I and V2X communications and networking protocols * Vehicular communications with VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc. * In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired) * Radio propagation and technologies for vehicular networks (propagation models, antennas, etc.) * Protocols for vehicular networking (radio resource management, link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport etc.) * Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks * Network and QoS management for vehicular networks * Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks * Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies * Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment * Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles * Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology) * Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks * Vehicular networking architectures and system design * Applications and services to enhance driver experience, performance, and behavior All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Manuscript submissions All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. We will consider two different categories of papers: * Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. * Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. Posters are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2016 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the conference website. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. Important dates Full/Short paper Submission Deadline: August 30, 2016 Demo/Poster paper Submission Deadline: September 15, 2016 Acceptance Notification: October 19, 2016 Camera-Ready Paper Due: November 3, 2016 Conference: December 8-10, 2016 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In this view, consumer centric solutions, platforms, data management, and business models have to be developed and consolidated in order to deploy effective solutions in the specific fields. The availability of low cost general purpose processing and storage systems with sensing/actuation capabilities (now available also to prosumers) coupled with communication capabilities are broadening the possibilities of IoT leading to open systems that will be highly programmable, virtualized and will support large numbers of APIs. Internet of Things emerges as a set of integrated technologies new exciting solutions and services that are set to change the way people live, produce goods. Internet of Things is rewarded by many as a fruitful technological sector in order to generate revenues. IoT covers a large wealth of consumer centric technologies (from sensors to communications up to software platforms) and it is applicable to an even larger set of application domains (from manufacturing to e-health, from logistics to automotive). Innovation will be nurtured and driven by the possibilities offered by the combination of increased technological capabilities, new business models and the rise of new ecosystems. IoT will be characterized by a few enablers: * Sensors, actuators and new consumer devices. * New Communication capabilities (from short range to LPWAN to 4G and 5G networks, with NB-IoT). In addition, new communication protocols and the exploitation of NFV/SDN for better communications. * Data management and Big Data analysis to deal with large data sets and streams generated by IoT systems. * New solutions for large distributed systems (e.g., combination of Cloud, Grid and Edge/Fog Computing). * Cognitive systems. Large IoT systems will be more and more complex, and as such they will require new cognitive techniques in order to be effective. * Platform programmability. APIs and other means for supporting the programmability of IoT systems in order to enable the exploitation of programmable features made available. * New Business models and ecosystems. What is the value of IoT systems, what ecosystems support it, how to monetize IoT. * Consumer centric aspects including IoT application development, utilization of semantics and security, privacy, trust. This proposed Feature Topic (FT) issue will gather articles from a wide range of perspectives in different industrial and research communities of IoT. The primary FT goals are to advance the understanding of the challenges faced in IoT communications, networking, distributed processing, new signal processing capabilities, software platforms and end – users devices over the next decade, and provide further awareness in the IoT research communities on these challenges, thus fostering future investigation. In addition a perspective on the business possibilities of IoT are of interest in order to enable and deploy the foreseen technical solutions. Original research papers are to be solicited in topics including, but not limited to, the following themes: * Existing and future communication architectures and technologies for large IoT systems * Existing and future use cases and deployment of large IoT systems * Design and evaluation of large IoT test beds, prototypes, and platforms for consumer centric IoT application development and deployment * Identification of viable business models and related ecosystems * Solution and services supported by consumer devices * Security, Privacy and interworking issues for cooperative IoT operations * Interfaces, cross-platform communication and programmability for IoT systems * Autonomics mechanisms for QoS and performance evaluation for IoT solutions * Game-theoretic and control-theoretic mechanisms for IoT resource allocation and management * Integrating 4G and 5G wireless technologies into IoT communications and Platforms * Integration of cognitive techniques with IoT systems * Energy-efficient communications considering opportunistic policies for large IoT systems * Big data and data analytics solutions for IoT systems * Comparison and improvement of IoT communication protocols * Novel distributed techniques (e.g., Edge/Fog computing) * New sensing and actuation capabilities and devices and their applicability IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: June 26, 2016 Notification Due Date: August 15, 2016 Final Version Due Date: September 15, 2016 Feature Topic Publication Date: December, 2016 GUEST EDITORS Roberto Minerva TIM Lab, Italy roberto.minerva(a)telecomitalia.it Mohsen Guizani University of Idaho, USA mguizani(a)uidaho.edu Christos Verikoukis CTTC, Spain cveri(a)cttc.es Hausi Muller University of Victoria, Canada hausi(a)cs.uvic.ca Soumya Kanti Datta EURECOM, France dattas(a)eurecom.fr Yen-Kuang Chen INTEL, USA y.k.chen(a)ieee.org SUBMISSION Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the IoT research community.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to June 25--ACM TECS SI on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Datum: Wed, 1 Jun 2016 19:07:39 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems Special Issue on Autonomous Battery-Free Sensing and Communication Recently, energy harvesting technologies have emerged as a solution to the challenges posed by energy constraints in many mobile applications. Environmental energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, and temperature gradient can be harvested and stored for sustainable operation, thereby enabling battery-free nodes. Such nodes can be applicable in scenarios where small device volume and perpetual operation are desirable. Moreover, they have the potential to enable autonomous sensing and communications tasks without human intervention following the deployment. However, challenges are posed by the need to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes while guaranteeing the system performance. Since the harvesting of energy is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works designed efficient energy management schemes. Yet, designing new architectures that enable autonomous battery-free sensing and communications is an open problem. The objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art advances in this area, and foster new avenues for research. The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; --Energy management for perpetual operation; --New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; --Resource management for autonomous operations; --Operating systems for battery-free devices; --Security issues in battery-free systems; --Emerging applications by battery-free systems; --Future directions for battery-free systems; Tentative Schedule --Manuscript Due: June 26, 2016 --First Notification: Sept. 1st, 2016 --Revised version: Nov. 1st, 2016 --Final notification: Jan. 1st, 2017 --Publication Date: 2st quarter of 2017 Guest editors: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, jmchen(a)iipc.zju.edu.cn Gil Zussman, Columbia University, gil(a)ee.columbia.edu Yu (Jason) Gu, IBM Watson Health, yugu(a)us.ibm.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

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 LTE’s 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 ten 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 mobile cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, 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 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 - 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) - 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 proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Reviews will be single-blinded. Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal.

CPS is expected to play a major role in the development of next-generation smart energy systems, especially for the large scale power systems. Due to the deeply complex intertwining among different components, CPS poses fundamental challenges in multiple aspects, such as real-time data processing, distributed computing, data sensing and collection, and efficient parallel computing. Innovative technologies addressing CPS challenges in smart energy systems, such as the fast growth in system scale and complexity, the distributed control and real-time interaction between dynamic environments and physical systems, and the efficiency issues in smart homes, buildings, communities and connected vehicle systems together with their reliability, are highly desirable. In particular, studying the merging and communication between information-centric and node-centric systems from a CPS perspective is extremely promising. This special issue aims to gather recent research work in design/development of scalable computing systems for smart energy CPSs and discuss, evaluate, and improve the novel approaches of energy-aware CPSs. Our primary focus is to address novel power saving mechanisms in CPS, advanced deployments for large scaled CPS, energy-aware solutions for heterogeneous CPS, and new efficient lower power strategy of CPS. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural framework for distributed CPS * Resource Management in large scale CPS * Design methodologies for smart energy systems as cyber-physical systems * Smart home, building, community system designs * Interactions between smart home/building/community/transportation systems and grids * Renewable energy integration with smart energy CPS * Real time operations of smart energy systems and interactions with grid * Cross-layer modeling and optimization for smart energy CPS * Novel mechanisms for Plug-in Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicles * New Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) strategies in CPS * Distributed power management systems in large scale CPS * Advanced schemes of maximizing asset utilizations and efficiency enhancement * Efficient state estimation techniques in CPS * Emerging models of distributed energy systems in CPS * Lower-power heterogeneous computing for distributed CPS Submission Format The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

In this view, consumer centric solutions, platforms, data management, and business models have to be developed and consolidated in order to deploy effective solutions in the specific fields. The availability of low cost general purpose processing and storage systems with sensing/actuation capabilities (now available also to prosumers) coupled with communication capabilities are broadening the possibilities of IoT leading to open systems that will be highly programmable, virtualized and will support large numbers of APIs. Internet of Things emerges as a set of integrated technologies new exciting solutions and services that are set to change the way people live, produce goods. Internet of Things is rewarded by many as a fruitful technological sector in order to generate revenues. IoT covers a large wealth of consumer centric technologies (from sensors to communications up to software platforms) and it is applicable to an even larger set of application domains (from manufacturing to e-health, from logistics to automotive). Innovation will be nurtured and driven by the possibilities offered by the combination of increased technological capabilities, new business models and the rise of new ecosystems. IoT will be characterized by a few enablers: * Sensors, actuators and new consumer devices. * New Communication capabilities (from short range to LPWAN to 4G and 5G networks, with NB-IoT). In addition, new communication protocols and the exploitation of NFV/SDN for better communications. * Data management and Big Data analysis to deal with large data sets and streams generated by IoT systems. * New solutions for large distributed systems (e.g., combination of Cloud, Grid and Edge/Fog Computing). * Cognitive systems. Large IoT systems will be more and more complex, and as such they will require new cognitive techniques in order to be effective. * Platform programmability. APIs and other means for supporting the programmability of IoT systems in order to enable the exploitation of programmable features made available. * New Business models and ecosystems. What is the value of IoT systems, what ecosystems support it, how to monetize IoT. * Consumer centric aspects including IoT application development, utilization of semantics and security, privacy, trust.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Deadline Extended, Elsevier Information Systems Journal [Impact Factor=1.456] -- Special Issue on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" Datum: Thu, 26 May 2016 00:19:52 -0400 Von: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Ejaz Ahmed <imejaz(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, The paper submission deadline of special issue on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" has extended to 30th June, 2016. Please find below a call for papers of the special issue for Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers for the special issue of the Information Systems Journal (Elsevier) on "Information Fusion in Internet of Things" Link: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/information-systems/call-for-papers/specia… AIMS AND SCOPE ---------------------------- Increasing miniaturization of computing technologies and rapid advancements in communication technologies have made the heterogeneous objects of our daily lives invisibly interweave with sensors, actuators, and other computational elements, while keeping a continuous network connection. The continuous connectivity of these heterogeneous smart objects enables them to communicate with each other and with the users of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These continuously connected data, generating heterogeneous objects, produce a huge amount of data that needs to be processed, distributed, and examined under consideration of the application objectives. Processing such unstructured and semi-structured data, generated by heterogeneous sources with different contextual and conceptual representations, is a challenging task. By leveraging the synergy among the collected data, information fusion techniques can minimize the amount of data traffic, filter irrelevant data, and make ! predictions and inferences using the collected data in the IoT environment. Information fusion helps in combining the information into a new set of information while minimizing uncertainty. Researchers are leveraging information fusion techniques to minimize the uncertainty of the data for enabling the smart objects of IoT to make the reliable decisions. The exploitation of information fusion techniques in IoT will open new dimensions for designing the reliable and autonomous systems that can operate without the need for human interactions. Hence, there is a need to investigate the potential opportunities of applying information fusion in the designs of protocols and algorithms of IoT. Such investigation will open up a totally new spectrum of functionalities with unprecedented benefits for IoT-based environments. This special issue invites new and unpublished work in the domain of information fusion in an IoT context. More specifically, this special issue will focus on recent research efforts in applying information fusion in IoT.

Environmental energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, and temperature gradient can be harvested and stored for sustainable operation, thereby enabling battery-free nodes. Such nodes can be applicable in scenarios where small device volume and perpetual operation are desirable. Moreover, they have the potential to enable autonomous sensing and communications tasks without human intervention following the deployment. However, challenges are posed by the need to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes while guaranteeing the system performance. Since the harvesting of energy is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works designed efficient energy management schemes. Yet, designing new architectures that enable autonomous battery-free sensing and communications is an open problem. The objective of this special issue is to capture the state-of-the-art advances in this area, and foster new avenues for research. The potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --New energy harvesting technologies for battery-free systems; --Energy management for perpetual operation; --New architectures for battery-free sensing and communications; --Resource management for autonomous operations; --Operating systems for battery-free devices; --Security issues in battery-free systems; --Emerging applications by battery-free systems; --Future directions for battery-free systems; Tentative Schedule –Manuscript Due: June 1st, 2016 --First Notification: Sept. 1st, 2016 --Revised version: Nov. 1st, 2016 --Final notification: Jan. 1st, 2017 --Publication Date: 2st quarter of 2017 Guest editors: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, jmchen(a)iipc.zju.edu.cn Gil Zussman, Columbia University, gil(a)ee.columbia.edu Yu (Jason) Gu, IBM Watson Health, yugu(a)us.ibm.com SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM TCPS Special Issue on Internet of Things Datum: Tue, 24 May 2016 13:30:03 -0400 (EDT) Von: Tei-Wei Kuo <pubs(a)acm.org> An: wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE Call For Papers <http://www.acm.org/> *CALL FOR PAPERS* ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) /Special Issue on Internet of Things/ Guest Editors Wei Zhao, University of Macau Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to become a global networking infrastructure for cyber-physical systems. Technically, the IoT is an emerging paradigm that seamlessly integrates through a large amount of smart objects interlinking the physical and the cyber worlds and keeping them in a tight and continuous interaction. As such, while the envisioned paradigm will need to address significant complexity, the IoT is an exciting, broad, and nascent area spanning a multitude of scientific research communities as well as several areas of applied industrial research and development. With the introduction of this exciting new paradigm, a variety of new problems and challenges present themselves. Traditional Internet approaches are insufficient to solve these unprecedented issues. This special issue focuses on the technical issues we face when designing, engineering, deploying, and maintaining the IoT. We seek high-quality and unpublished papers that push research in all the facets of the IoT.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks"

24 May '16

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Duan Lingjie <lingjie_duan(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Gesendet: 24. Mai 2016 06:19:49 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks" Call For Papers  IEEE JSAC Special Issue on “Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks” Due to rapid developments of smart devices and mobile applications, human activities, usage behavior and perceived experience of users weigh increasingly on the performance of mobile networks. Scenarios include mobile communication networks, haptic communications for 5G, device-to-device (D2D) networks, and wearable sensor networks. In these systems, human users interact extensively with the system, and the user-perceived quality-of- experience (QoE) is critical. However, various important human factors, e.g., predictable and repeating behavior, have not yet been well understood and fully taken into consideration in current generation mobile networks. Hence, a paradigm shift is required for designing a new human-in-the-loop architecture for mobile networks, by actively learning, predicting, adapting to, and steering user behavior, so as to greatly improve system efficiency and to provide superior users QoE. Specifically, such an architecture includes the following main components. (i) Human behavioral big data: Large-scale data is the foundation of user behavior study and prediction. However, their formats must be carefully designed to reflect user features in multi-dimensions, the crowd needs to be incentivized for data sensing and acquisition, and one may also need to leverage distributed caching, computing and communication capabilities of smart devices for scalable and reliable data communications. (ii) Human behavior learning and analytics: Human behavior exhibits significant amount of predictability, and tends to have repeated patterns, e.g., mobility and usage patterns. Efficient techniques must be developed or tailored towards human behavior modeling and data processing, and must be able to handle the dynamic nature of acquired data and respect heterogeneous constraints in data sampling and processing. (iii) Intelligent control for human-intense mobile networks: Online learning-based control and predictive control techniques must be developed to enable seamless integration of data in system optimization. They should be able to exploit benefits of behavior learning, while handling the selfish nature of human users and randomness in human actions, with the ultimate objective of guaranteeing superior QoE in resource-limited mobile networks. In this special issue, we focus on fundamental problems involving human activities and interactions with future mobile networks. We invite submissions of high-quality original technical papers, which have not been published previously. The topics in this call include but are not limited to the following areas: • Crowdsensing and analytics of human user data  • Human-system interaction modeling and analysis for mobile networks • Predictive control in multi-user mobile communication systems  • Online behavior-learning and control in mobile networks  • Local caching in human-intense mobile systems  • Human-intense D2D communications  • Resource allocation and optimization for 5G haptic communications Submission Guideline Authors please refer to submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guide- lines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) when preparing their papers (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review). Papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://www.edas.info) according to the following schedule: • Submission Deadline: September 1, 2016  • Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2016 • Final Material to IEEE: January 1, 2017  • Publication Date: First Quarter 2017 Guest Editors • Longbo Huang (Lead) - Tsinghua University, longbohuang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn  • Lingjie Duan - Singapore University of Technology and Design, lingjie_duan(a)sutd.edu.sg • Cedric Langbort - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, langbort(a)illinois.edu  • Alexey Pozdnukhov - University of California, Berkeley, alexeip(a)berkeley.edu  • Jean Walrand - University of California, Berkeley, walrand(a)berkeley.edu  • Lin Zhang - Tsinghua University, linzhang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn This email may contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for receipt and use solely by the addressee(s) named above.

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 LTE's 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 ten 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 mobile cloud/mobile edge computing, IoT, 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 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 - 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) - 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 proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).

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.

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, and all related disciplines.

One such area is automated vehicles where the communication needs will be twofold: One for cooperatively perceiving the environment, and the other for collectively deciding on maneuvers. Such connected autonomous vehicles would not only require reliable group communications, but also would rely on group intelligence where they may need to coordinate their actions (as a vehicular cloud). Another emerging area is the view of cars as sensor platforms that monitor the external environment (traffic, pollution, etc.) as well as the internal CAN bus and cabin activities. In this view the cars become part of an IoV (Internet of Vehicles) and provide useful information not only to other cars, but also to stakeholders in the Internet (e.g., automakers, insurance companies, content providers, etc.). In this view, one can exploit the informati! on capture, processing and communication resources not only of running cars, but also of parked cars in the context of smart cities (e.g., using vehicles as data capture, storage and delivery instruments). The large collected information will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grids and smart city operations. Topics of interest include communication issues related to (but are not limited to): • Vehicular clouds, group intelligence • Software defined networking and virtualization for vehicles • Heterogeneous/hybrid networking techniques for next generation vehicular communications • Collective perception techniques for automated vehicles • Collective decision making for automated vehicles • Services utilizing resources of vehicles • Security for connected vehicles • Positioning and addressing of vehicles • Use of big data and cloud for automated vehicles • IoV in the general context of IoT • Mining big vehicular data for smart city services • Use of cellular systems for vehicular networking 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. A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide to Authors” at: www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622893/authorinstruct…. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

As it happened for EWSN 2016, we will be seeking collaboration with and support from ACM/SIGBED and plan to make the proceedings appear in the ACM digital library. New this year is that a specialized committee will select a subset of the papers appearing at the conference to be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. EWSN 2017 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) in all relevant areas of networked embedded systems such as Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Wireless Sensor Networks and their applications in domains such as Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories, Smart Cars, and Smart Health. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety, security) Embedded wireless networking from physical to application layer Wireless embedded computing platforms Operating systems, middleware, and services Programming paradigms, languages, and tools Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems Applications, deployment, management, and debugging Sensing and actuation Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones Mobility, localization, tracking Embedded data management and processing Interaction with humans Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics Please ask the program chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits. *Submission instructions* EWSN 2017 is a highly selective conference. We will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process. We will also provide authors the possibility of a rebuttal before final decisions are made. Full paper submissions must have at least 8 and at most 12 pages. Short paper submissions must have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an inter-column spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions such that the author identities are not disclosed to the reviewers.

Topics of interest are the same as those listed in the main track CFP. We strongly encourage both student and industry submissions. Both demos and posters should be accompanied by a 2 page extended abstract, which will be published in the conference proceedings. Abstract for posters, demos and datasets can be submitted via the ICN 2016 submission website. Preparation of Posters You are not required to submit the poster initially. Instead, you should submit a 2 page extended abstract. If the abstract is accepted, you will then be asked to prepare the poster. The abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed, (b) what makes this problem interesting, (c) your approach, and (d) the key contribution. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A poster should be of size 32 inches x 42 inches (this is between A0 and A1) in portrait mode. It should be visually appealing, portraying ideas primarily via diagrams rather than text. The poster will be displayed on easels. The organizers will supply the foam backing and a method to mount the posters to the foam backing In particular, we call for posters that include accompanying datasets shared with the community. The aim is to collect and share datasets that can hopefully become a common ground for evaluation in the ICN community. Such posters will be eligible for a "best dataset award". Preparation of Demos You are required to submit a 2 page extended abstract, which describes the demo. The extended abstract should clearly state: (a) the problem being addressed and why it is important, (b) the approach taken and the design of the demo, (c) the key contribution and (d) any special technical requirements. If accepted, it is strongly recommended that a poster supporting the demo is produced. Acceptance is based on a peer review process of all abstracts. A "best demo award" will be given this year, based on community judging by registered participants A demo should be self contained and ideally interactive. Accepted demos will be given a table (6 feet by 30 inches), a power supply (100V TypeA) and WiFi Internet access(NAT only) by default. Details regarding poster preparation are described above. Important Poster and Demo Dates Poster and Demo Submission Deadline: July 8, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: July 29, 2016 Camera Ready Due: August 15, 2016 Conference: September 26-28, 2016 -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR TUTORIALS Following last year's successful tutorials, ACM ICN 2016 solicits proposals for half- or full-day tutorials on topics relevant to the ICN research that can help the audience gain further understanding of this new and exciting area. In particular, we seek tutorials on intermediate and advanced topics of critical importance to the maturing ICN field (such as, but not limited to, applied cryptography, or technological advances for ICN, or application of ICN to specific fields such as IoT), offered through collaboration between ICN researchers and experts in other domains. Tutorials may be lectures, hands-on training, or any combination of the above. Exploring diverse ways of interacting with the audience is welcome, as are cross-disciplinary topics. Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format, not exceeding three (3) pages in total, and be sent to the workshop/tutorial chairs. Each proposal must include: - A motivation for the tutorial (why this, why at ICN 2016?) - Detailed biographies of the trainers. - An outline of the tutorial content. - The type of tutorial (e.g., lecture vs. hands-on) - References to previous iterations of the tutorial (if applicable) including their date, venue, topics and number of participants and the motivation for the new proposal. - Requirements for the tutorial room. - Requirements for the attendants (e.g., must bring own laptop, familiarity with certain technologies or topics, etc.). - Any limitations (e.g., number of participants).

Wireless has quickly become the dominant last-hop access to the Internet. The mobility of users, devices and networks has become an integral part of today’s Internet. In the meantime, the network infrastructure is the process of transforming from a hardware dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined, cloud-based system with decreasing dependency on hardware. The increasing ability to collect and process large amount of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design. As these trends continue in the near future, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of information and contents, the availability of software defined architecture, the computational support from the cloud, the emerging spectrum access techniques and the massive amount of data. MobiArch 2016 has mobile Internet data analysis as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the mobility of users and the design of mobile services and networks with the analysis of data coming from the network, the devices and the applications. The emergence of Cloud-dependent mobile services and the widespread growth of user-generated data, as well as the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, the definition of algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, the possibility of offload computing tasks, whole application or part of device operating system to the cloud, possible algorithm correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, etc. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, security and privacy, multi-homing, transport over wireless access, user incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructure, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient multimedia content distribution, information centric networking solutions, collection and management of data, new business models for mobile data, to related operational concerns and legal issues. MobiArch 2016 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, protocols, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. The workshop supports all topics that target to support mobility, with an emphasis on new network design for high performance mobile applications and services, efficient support of mobile contents, software defined architecture, data-driven mobile network management, as well as cloud-aware architecture and services. Besides technical papers, we also encourage work-in-progress papers, and welcome position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. ** TOPICS OF INTEREST ** All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: • Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches • Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support • Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning • Software defined and/or cloud–assisted mobile networking • Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture • Impact of connected vehicles on Internet architecture design • Impact of device-to-device communications on Internet architecture design • New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture • Mobile data sensing and fusion • Impact of Information Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks • Seamless mobility in heterogeneous networks • Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility • Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture • Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues • Cognitive networks design ** IMPORTANT DATES ** • Submissions deadline: June 1st, 2016 (11:55 PM, GMT) *(FIRM)* • Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2016 • Camera-ready version: July 17th, 2016 • MobiArch Workshop Day: October 3, 2016 ** STEERING COMMITTEE ** Xiaoming Fu, University of Goettingen Rittwik Jana AT&T Labs Research Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University Joerg Ott, Aalto University Katherine Guo, Bell Labs Research Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge Stefano Secci, UPMC ** TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE ** Fulvio Risso, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Giacomo Verticale, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Kaushik Chowdhury, Northeastern University, USA Lito Kriara, Disney Research Zurich Lixia Zhang, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Marco Fiore, CNR-IEIIT, Italy Michele Nogueira, UFPR, Brazil (Co-chair) Peter Steenkiste Carnegie Mellon University, USA Razvan Stanica INSA Lyon, France Sahar Hoteit, Centrale-Supelec, France Stefano Secci, UPMC-LIP6, France Toru Hasegawa, Osaka University, Japan Xin Wang, Stony Brook University, USA (Co-chair) Xu Chen, University of Goettingen, Germany Yong Cui, Tsinghua University, China ** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ** Submissions must present original results.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Sun, 15 May 2016 21:06:12 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on IoT: Protocol Stack, Cross-Layer, and Power Consumption Issues Due date: Oct. 1, 2016 Publication date: June 2017 With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, over 50 billion connected things in the world are expected by year 2020 and 40% of all world data will come from IoT devices and sensors (expected to generate a total of 129 yottabytes) - nearly reaching 90% of the world’s data created in the last 2 years. Things and devices forming IoT are a variety of microcontrollers (MCUs), special systems-on-chip (SoC), sensors and sensor networks. With this dramatic evolution in the types and volume of connected devices and the generated data from these devices, radio technologies need to accommodate the IoT device environments and characteristics, including different environments of “outdoor, indoor, urban, rural”, battery operated devices, form factors, and communication ranges. In addition, communication protocols should adapt to IoT service requirements for real-time and mission critical applications. Consequently, there is a need for smart radio technologies and communication protocols that support low-power and ultra-low power operation, multiple communication ranges, diversity of traffic ranging from 3 bytes of data for telemetry to HD video streams for surveillance, as well as indoor and outdoor environments. Some unique exemplary challenges include efficient service discovery between devices, sleep mode management, communication between devices, smart choice of the appropriate radio to use, application requirement, and power constraint. In this context, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, and Z-Wave emerge as short range and low power wireless communication technologies on one hand. On the other hand, cellular and sub-GHz communication technologies are also emerging within 3GPP and IEEE standards to allow for long coverage especially in rural environments but still facing low power challenges. Sigfox appears to provide a cellular system for devices continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. mmWave represents another opportunity for IoT communication and is being discussed within the 5G network framework working in higher frequency bands and providing very high throughput. Despite of all these radio technology evolution and advancement in communication protocols to satisfy IoT traffic and communication requirements, there is not yet a clear vision of how IoT radio and communication eco-system will look like by 2020 besides green communication. All these unique challenges demand great effort in academic, industry, standardization organizations, and governments. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on*Next Generation Wireless Technologies for IoT*. It will include various topics of interest, but not limited to: * Short, medium and long range radio access (RFID, NFC, DASH7, 4G, 5G, 6LowPAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, IEEE 802.15.4) * Smart sleep and wake up modes for IoT with efficiency and context awareness * Efficient transport and routing protocols for IoT standards and architectures (IETF, IEEE, ETSI, oneM2M, IoT6, IoT-A, ISA, ISO/IEC, IPSO, ITU-T, U2IoT) * Smart bandwidth utilization including network coding techniques for 5G * Wireless wearable and IoT communication architectures and systems * 5G heterogeneous wireless access technologies enabling low latency and low power IoT access networks * Standardization and regulation on mmWave usage in 5G and IoT * Edge networking in IoT including challenges for low power transmissions, security and privacy of cognitive radio * Near-zero energy and renewable energy radios for IoT and PHY/MAC layer techniques for long range low power IoT * Proof of concepts and experimental work on long range low power wireless technologies SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the/IEEE Wireless Communications/guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FW: Call for Papers: IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) in LCN2016 - due on May 23 Datum: Sat, 14 May 2016 23:43:21 +0000 Von: William Liu <william.liu(a)AUT.AC.NZ> Antwort an: William Liu <william.liu(a)AUT.AC.NZ> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP Call for Papers: IEEE WNM 2016 ================================================================================ 10th IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements (WNM) http://wnm2016.csis.mtroyal.ca/ co-located with 41th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) http://www.ieeelcn.org/ November 7-10, 2016, The Address Dubai Mall, Dubai, UAE ================================================================================ IMPORTANT DATES Submission: May 23, 2016 Notification: July 25, 2016 Camera-ready: August 15, 2016 Direct EDAS Submission Link: https://edas.info/N22480 SCOPE The 10th Anniversary Edition of IEEE Workshop on Network Measurements is soliciting papers in the areas of *computer network measurement, monitoring, security and privacy*. We invite mature and early works using traditional and new methodologies, and especially works that challenge conventional wisdom in relationship between traffic monitoring, security and privacy. We seek submissions that treat all aspects of measurement, security and privacy across the networking stack, distributed applications and services and especially encourage works that involve new and emerging systems, applications, and environments. The importance of data increases from one year to the next, and we have witnessed significant changes in technologies related to generation, collection, transmission, analysis and storage of data, including virtualization and cloud technologies, big data processing and storage systems. The shear volume of data poses challenges to traditional measurement and monitoring techniques, as well as transmission into analysis systems, where so much data is generated that it cannot be copies, transmitted or stored before processing that includes downsizing. As data becomes more important, more precise and detailed extraction from network traffic and applications is necessary. Often times, considerations for security and privacy preservation are lacking or come later as a secondary concern. A question arises how to build powerful measurement and monitoring systems that generate valuable data without compromising security and privacy of consumers, and increasingly IoT devices, that generate it. In fact, many measurement and monitoring systems do not have built-in privacy and security protection mechanisms and data is sanitized off-line or during post-processing. On the other hand, some systems are built with only security or privacy in mind so that effective measurement and monitoring of those systems is impossible. We invite the measurement, monitoring, security and privacy community to contribute original submissions that cover a broad range of topics across wired and wireless networks, with and without security and privacy aspects: *Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation *Measurement of new protocols such as HTTP/2, QUIC and similar alternatives *Measurement of emerging modes of communication such as NFC and spontaneous interaction of devices *Measurement for wearables and Internet of Things *Measurement in Network Function Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking *Building Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics from network measurements *Measurement related to performance, security and privacy *Preserving security and/or privacy in measurement and monitoring systems *Preventing network intrusions and attacks on monitoring and measurement systems *Detecting vulnerabilities in network systems *Anonymization and privacy preservation *Building secure and privacy-preserving monitoring systems and infrastructures *Privacy enhancing technologies *Privacy and anonymity in the Web, cloud systems, online social networks, mobile networks, P2P networks *Privacy in identity management systems *Design, performance, and measurements of privacy-preserving systems *Design, performance, and measurements of secure networks *Measurement methodologies for privacy and anonymity *User profiling mechanisms *Mechanisms for processing of private data *Quantification of privacy threats and anonymity loss *Privacy challenges in smart systems *Current and emerging regulatory frameworks for privacy PAPER SUBMISSION The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions should be in PDF for-mat, written in English with a maximum paper length of eight printed pages (IEEE Transactions style double-column format, 10pt font size), including figures. The paper should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The submission will be handled via EDAS. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.
