-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Anjalalaina jean cristanel Razafimandimby <jean.razafimandimby_anjalalaina(a)INRIA.FR> Gesendet: 1. April 2016 18:15:16 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IoTIP-16, deadline April 06 [We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ================================================================== IoTIP-16 - 4th International workshop on Internet of Things - Ideas and Perspectives May 28th,2016 – Washington, DC, USA In conjunction with IEEE DCOSS 2016 https://iotip2016.hds.utc.fr/ ================================================================== ================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================================== Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology. The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution. The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate “Big brother scenario”. Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms. The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0. IoTIP features two tracks: Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies IoT systems and components IoT for semantic web and personalization Tools for developing IoT applications Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT Device to device communications for the IoT Security and privacy control mechanisms Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc) PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT Mobility management Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability Object, device and service management RFID, sensors, actuator technologies Middleware Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency) Test-beds and field trials Standardization and regulatory issues Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html . Papers should be submitted through Easychair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iotip2016 . All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (6) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks: Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation; Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT. Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track. Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Section in IEEE Access: Recent Advances in Socially-aware Mobile Networking (Submission Deadline: July 31, 2016) Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 18:08:01 -0400 Von: Lei Yang <lyang55(a)ASU.EDU> Antwort an: Lei Yang <lyang55(a)ASU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-posting] [Please forward to anyone who might be interested] ======================================================= Special Section in IEEE Access * Recent Advances in Socially-aware Mobile Networking * http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ieee_ac… Submission Deadline: July 31, 2016 ======================================================= IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Socially-aware Mobile Networking. SCOPE ===== Mobile data traffic has been growing exponentially over the past few years. A report from Cisco shows that the mobile data traffic in 2014 grew 69 percent and was nearly 30 times the size of the entire global Internet in 2000. One of the primary contributors to the explosive mobile traffic growth is the rapid proliferation of mobile social applications running on multimedia mobile devices (particularly smartphones), and these sharp increases in mobile traffic (particularly from mobile social applications) are projected to continue in the foreseeable future. To meet the rapidly growing demand, regulatory agencies around the world (e.g., FCC, Ofcom and ETSI) are actively working on policies and regulations for dynamic spectrum access that are mutually beneficial to the cognitive radio devices and the licensed spectrum users of the under-utilized spectrum. As mobile networks by and large are designed and deployed to meet people’s social needs, people’s behaviors and interac! tions in the social domain will shape their ways to access mobile services. Therefore, there is an urgent need to integrate social elements into the design of mobile networks. Socially-aware mobile networks have emerged as a promising direction for future mobile networks. Socially-aware mobile network designs can improve shared spectrum access, cooperative spectrum sensing and device-to-device (D2D) communications, and have potential to achieve substantial gains in spectral efficiency and lead to significant increases in network capacity. In spite of the potential benefits of socially-aware mobile networking, many technical challenges still have to be addressed. For example, mobile users need to trust others to carry out effective cooperation, and a natural question to ask is that “how to leverage human social trust to enhance distributed spectrum access?” Moreover, since mobile users need to communicate potentially sensitive information (such as location) to neighbors and third party (like in D2D sharing), privacy and security protection are also important components in the design of socially-aware mobile networks. Inspired by the aforementioned attractive features and potential advantages of socially-aware mobile networks, socially-aware mobile networking has recently garnered much attention, but is still not well understood, and therefore requires more research efforts from both the academia and industry. This special issue will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to socially-aware mobile networking, so as to enrich the evolution of future mobile networks. TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Socially-aware dynamic spectrum access - Socially-aware cooperative spectrum sensing - Socially-aware D2D communications - Socially-aware information dissemination in mobile networks - Cooperative behavioral modeling in socially-aware mobile networks - Socially-aware protocols for mobile networks - Socially-aware power and interference management - Socially-aware resource allocation and optimization for mobile networks - Crowdsourcing in mobile networks - Trust and reputations in mobile networks - Cognitive and cooperative mobile networks - Privacy and security for socially-aware mobile networks - Mobile social sensing and learning - Prediction in mobile social networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) - Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates - Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements - Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access - Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks - Interoperability among diverse wireless networks - Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network - Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability - Scalable cooperative communications and network coding - Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture - Scalable energy efficiency wireless network - Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture - Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks - Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines regarding manuscript content and format.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [deadline extended: April 15] CFP: Workshop on Internet of Vehicles and Vehicles of Internet (IoV-VoI 2016) - co-located with ACM MobiHoc Datum: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 13:00:20 +0100 Von: Isabel Wagner <isabel.wagner(a)DMU.AC.UK> Antwort an: Isabel Wagner <isabel.wagner(a)DMU.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS IoV-VoI 2016 First International Workshop on Internet of Vehicles and Vehicles of Internet Co-located with ACM MobiHoc 2016 http://www.tech.dmu.ac.uk/~iwagne00/iov-voi2016 05 July 2016 Paderborn, Germany Driving safety has been the focus of vehicular networking research and development for the past 15 years. Standardization is mostly complete with voluntary roll-out starting in Japan. Current generation is based mostly on broadcasting of beacons. As we go along, this first generation of vehicular networking technologies will face challenges in addressing the needs of connected vehicles and new applications that would go beyond the present day systems. 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) based on some predefined rules. 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, communications services providers, content providers, etc). In this view, one can exploit the information 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 information collected will be voluminous (big data) and will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grid and smart city operations. This expanded view will open up new opportunities as well as new challenges in managing the highly amorphous vehicular network structure and blending the "Internet of Vehicles" into the "Vehicles of the Internet" by making vehicular resources an integral part of the existing infrastructure. In other words, the Vehicular cloud becomes an entity of its own right and cooperates with edge clouds and Internet clouds. Potential topics of the Workshop are: - 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 Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 6 pages including all figures, tables and references. The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of ACM Double Column Format submitted electronically in printable pdf form.

Theoretical papers must make a convincing argument for the relevance of the results to secure systems. All topic areas related to computer and communications security are of interest and in scope. Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in the conference proceedings. Paper Submission Process ------------------------ Submissions must be made by the deadline of Monday, May 23, 2016 23:59 UTC-11. The review process will be carried out in two phases and authors will have an opportunity to comment on the first-phase reviews. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Note that submitted papers cannot be withdrawn from the process after the first phase reviews are received by authors. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. Paper Format ------------ Submissions must be at most 12 pages in double-column ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/ proceedings-templates) including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Conflicts of Interest --------------------- The program co-chairs require cooperation from both authors and program committee members to prevent submissions from being evaluated by reviewers who have a conflict of interest. During the submission process, we will ask authors to identify members of the program committee with whom they have a conflict of interest. This includes anyone with close personal or professional relationship to any of the authors, such as close family members, people from the same department/group, and recent collaborators (e.g. collaborated on a joint paper in the last two years). It also includes anyone in a position of substantial influence on (or by) the a uthors, such as advisor or advisee (at any time in the past), line-of-management relationship, grant program manager, etc. In rare cases, we will allow conflict-of-interest designation due to personal or professional animosity. In such cases, we require that in addition to marking the conflict during submission, the authors contact the program co-chairs by email and explain the reason for this conflict. Program committee members who have a conflict of interest with a paper, including program co-chairs, will be excluded from evaluation and discussion of the paper. In the case of a program co-chair, the other co-chairs who do not have conflicts will be responsible for managing that paper. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today’s smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc. In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: • Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city • Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; • Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; • Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities • Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; • Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; • Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; • Crowd sourcing in smart cities; • IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; • Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; • Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); • Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; • Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; • Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems; • Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems; • Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue; • Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] [ACM CHANTS 2016] First Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 13:34:01 +0200 Von: Elisabetta Biondi <chants16_publicity(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ACM CHANTS 2016 - 11th Workshop on Challenged Networks co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016 October 3-7, 2016, New York, USA www.acm-chants.org =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. 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.

Examples include minimally-invasive embedded and bio-compatible devices, deep-brain stimulation, "smart skin", and artificial retinas. In addition, the medical device industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, embracing the potential of embedded software and network connectivity. Yet, despite the tremendous promise, the medical devices are still burdened by complex design, safety assurance, and tendency to operate independently. Medical Cyber-Physical Systems are safety-critical, interconnected, intelligent systems of medical devices. The combination of embedded software controlling the devices, networking capabilities, unique sensing and actuation technologies, and complicated physical dynamics exhibited by patient bodies highlights some of the specific research challenges for this distinct class of cyber-physical systems. As such systems become increasingly complex, interconnected, and interoperating, the major challenge is how to assure and improve the safety, security, efficiency and reliability of medical cyber-physical systems. *Scope, Description, and More Information* This special issue seeks papers describing significant research contributions in the domain of medical cyber-physical systems; each paper should show enough evidence of contributions to medical cyber-physical systems applications and systems in practice. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Case studies and experience reports for medical cyber-physical systems * Infrastructure support for high-confidence medical cyber-physical systems, including architectures, platforms, middleware, resource management, QoS * Medical device Plug-and-Play operation and interoperability * Control and sensing in medical cyber-physical systems for physiological closed-loop treatment - assuring safety and effectiveness for systems with varying degree of caregiver supervision * Programming models and tools for high-confidence medical systems * Modeling and analysis of safety and reliability properties of medical cyber-physical systems * Caregiver and patient modeling, including high fidelity organ/patient models for the design and validation of medical cyber-physical systems * Evidence-based validation and certification for high-confidence medical cyber-physical systems. *Schedule* * Full paper submission deadline: July 31, 2016 * First author notification: December 1, 2016 * Revised paper due: February 1, 2017 * Final author notification: March 15, 2017 * Expected publication: Fall, 2017 For further information, please contact MedicalCPS(a)duke.edu <mailto:MedicalCPS@duke.edu>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you do not want to receive future emails about publishing in ACM journals, send an email to mktg2(a)hq.acm.org <mailto:mktg2@hq.acm.org> with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject.

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys2016 - Call for Workshop Papers Datum: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:59:17 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG MobiSys 2016 - Call for Workshop Papers June 26 and 30, 2016 Singapore http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops.php The 14th ACM International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys 2016) is organizing 6 high-quality workshops and a PhD Forum, covering distinct areas and hot topics in the area of mobility and mobile systems. MobiSys workshops solicit short papers (6 pages), posters and demos. Accepted papers will be published In the ACM Digital Library as part of the overall conference proceedings. In addition, all accepted papers will be offered the opportunity to present their work in the main conference demo / poster session (this will greatly increase the number of attendees who see your work). The list of workshops (with deadlines) are below. Please consider submitting your work to the most appropriate venues. * DroNet 2016 – 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use * MobiGames 2016: 3rd Workshop on Mobile Gaming * WearSys 2016: Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications * Workshop on IoT of Health * MOBIDATA 2016: 1st ACM MobiSys Workshop on Mobile Data * 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics (WPA) * PhD Forum ================================================================== Like our Facebook and Twitter to get the latest information! * Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mobisys2016/ * Twitter https://twitter.com/mobisys2016 ================================================================== DroNet 2016 – 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use Micro and nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs), often referred to as drones, are unmanned aerial vehicles of various forms, such as small quadrocopters, airplanes, balloons, or tiny flapping wing vehicles. They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon's announced drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original and unpublished work not currently under review by another technical journal/magazine/conference. We welcome in particular also conctributions from interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience.

Palazzi (University of Padua) Important Dates Submission deadline (paper, demo, poster): April 4, 2016 Notification deadline: April 25, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: May 9, 2016 Workshop date: June 26, 2016 MobiGames 2016: 3rd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Mobile games have consolidated their position as dominant contents over mobile platforms, scoring over $1.7B via upfront and in-app purchases through AppStore and accounting for nearly 1/3 of the time spent on mobile devices<http://www.flurry.com/bid/109749/Apps-Solidify-Leadership-Six-Years-into-th…>, more than any other app categories. As a result, gaming and mobile phones have formed a virtuous cycle: gaming has led manufacturers to introduce better resolution displays and more powerful processors, and these have in turn have pushed the boundaries of gaming possible on mobile devices. The cycle continues to create another, i.e., that of desire-challenge; encouraged by the attained success, games actively incorporate state-of-the-art technologies from diverse areas, e.g., wearable sensing devices, head-mounted displays, virtual and augmented realities, and cloud computing techniques, which in turn enlarges the expectation for gaming experiences, and hence, further generates new, more complex challenges. This new field of research is highly interdisciplinary and many of the related technologies have roots in other communities. However, introducing them to common constraints imposed by mobility and gaming creates rooms to share interests and challenges. The research challenges span a broad spectrum of gaming content design, technologies for devices, severs, and networks, and user and social impacts, including new interaction and experience design, novel gaming modalities, achieving PC-like graphics, reducing the energy consumption of games, more responsive user input on touch screens, fast-action multiplayer over cellular, virtual and augmented reality games, and the use of MEMS sensors to bridge the gap between the physical world and the virtual game world, etc. Many SIGMOBILE members are actively engaged in research on mobile gaming, as well as those from other SIGs. The goal of this workshop is to provide interested researchers from diverse related areas a lively inter-disciplinary forum to share and discuss recent achievements, radical ideas and the challenges that lie ahead in the field of mobile gaming.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers and design experts to discuss how wearable technologies have, and can, complement mobile systems research, and vice-versa. It also aims to provide a launchpad for bold and visionary ideas for wearable systems research. The WearSys workshop comes at a critical time-juncture where wearable devices are proliferating commercially, and when mobile systems research is increasingly adopting wearable devices; mostly for primary and auxiliary sensing. The off-the-shelf availability of wearable devices today has only improved and shaped new directions for mobile and wireless systems research. This is an exciting time where wearables are seeming to spearhead advancements in technology through inter-disciplinary research among a broad spectrum of disciplines such as wireless systems, health, fashion, energy – to name a few. We hope that this workshop will serve as a catalyst for advancements in mobile and wearable systems technology as well as present a clear sense of direction for the research community to proceed in this space.

The multitude of sensors that surround us in the form of smartphones, wearable devices, and infrastructure (workstation devices, WiFi, iBeacon, etc.) is a core enabler of this paradigm shift, and allows fine-grained sensing and inference of the user’s context, physiological attributes, and needs. Such sensing and detection, in tandem with intelligent intervention and persuasion techniques provide a compelling closed-loop healthcare technology for consumers. This technology need not be confined to a single application or a device, and in fact must be a part of the cyber-physical ecosystem that surrounds the user, thus realizing the “IoT of health” vision. Internet of things (IoT) enabled healthcare segment is expected to hit $117 billion by 2020. This workshop focuses on bringing to the fore the key research challenges, systems, devices, and methods to enable the “IoT of Health” vision. The workshop will include discussions on different perspectives emerging from designing low-level sensors/devices, inference/analytics on sensing data, along with intelligent persuasive interventions/feedback techniques. Also, the workshop will have an active participation from clinicians, behavioural scientists, systems researchers, as well as entrepreneurs.

The capabilities and features of modern mobile technologies and the associated benefits and opportunities are not well explored yet. Mobile applications and services come with a range of technical, legal, societal and ethical challenges unseen in previous computing paradigms and networked systems. These range from excessive usage of bandwidth and power, to aggressive collection, management and careless share of personal information. Long term and sustainable growth in this space is dependable on the ability of the research, industry, and the developer community to address these issues with the user in mind. In this workshop we will bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners to present their latest research in the space of mobile data. We will aim to provide a forum for discussing early work, novel approaches, and controversial ideas in use of mobile data and systems and design of technologies that address the mentioned challenges. For more information, please visit the Workshop website at:http://sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/mobidata<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/workshops/mobidata> Program Chairs Narseo Vallina-Rodriguez (International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley) Hamed Haddadi (Queen Mary University of London) David R. Choffnes ?(Northeastern University) Important Dates Submission deadline: April 11, 2016 Notification deadline: April 25, 2016 Camera-ready deadline: May 9, 2016 Workshop date: June 30, 2016 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics (WPA) The 3rd edition of this workshop (successfully organized at Mobisys the previous two years) is motivated by the observations that people spend a significant part of their daily lives performing a variety of activities in the physical world—travelling to places (including commuting to/from work using public or private transport), performing activities at various locations (e.g., exercising in the gym, eating at restaurants) , interacting with various physical objects and artefacts (e.g., touching or picking up products at a retail store, or browsing through books at a library), being subject to various audiovisual stimuli (e.g., listening to announcements at transit hubs or watching advertisements on public displays) and interacting with other people (in groups, as part of crowds or one-on-one). A rich variety of infrastructure, mobile and (now) wearable sensors, and associated analytics tools, can provide innovative ways to capture and annotate such behaviors and interactions. These activities and interactions contain a wealth of information about user behavior, preferences, attitudes and interests, that, if harnessed, can benefit both users and consumer-facing businesses. The 3rd Workshop on Physical Analytics will offer a unified forum that brings researchers and industry practitioners together to explore (a) the technologies (current and emerging) that can enable unobtrusive capture of such individual and collective physical world behavior, and (b) the real-world opportunities for commercial applications and services (e.g., in retail, insurance or healthcare) that leverage upon such understanding of physical world behavior. A particularly interesting question relates to the generalizability of such analytics tools—i.e., whether we can develop a set of common technologies and methods for capturing and understanding physical behavior across such diverse physical locations. We emphasize again the broad scope of the proposed workshop—while topics such as multimedia sensing, localization, wearable computing, activity recognition and privacy are undoubtedly parts of the emerging research agenda, the focus will be on exploring how these components can be harnessed holistically to capture useful real-world physical behavior of users.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 @ Kyoto: CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, DEMOS, WORKSHOPS (Deadline: March 30, 2016) and TUTORIALS Datum: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 09:46:03 +0100 Von: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, AND DEMOS, WORKSHOPS (Deadline: March 30, 2016) and TUTORIALS http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2016 Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a new networking paradigm intended to provide access to information without requiring an explicit binding of that information to a particular location. By directly addressing information, ICN supports mobile users and mobile networked devices, offers a higher-level communication service to applications, and promotes authentication and efficiency in the transmission and dissemination of information. Over the last few years, a global research and development community has grown around the idea of ICN. ICN 2016 is the third edition of the ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking, the premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in information centric networking. ACM ICN 2016 will be a single-track conference featuring paper and poster presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations. In addition to the "best paper award", ACM ICN 2016 will give this year a "best demo award" (based on community judging by registered participants), as well as a "best dataset award" (for poster submissions qualifying for this category). The Technical Program Committee of ACM ICN 2016 invites high-quality submissions describing unpublished research results in all aspects of ICN. The third edition on ACM ICN will especially welcome work that reflects the maturity of ICN field, under several angles, including for instance interoperability, architectural comparison with quantitative assessment, and critical reassessment of previous work with particular emphasis on contributions to architectural designs and reproducible experimental evaluations. Topics of interest include: - Application programming interfaces (APIs) for ICN and their evaluation - Applications of ICN - Architecture design and evaluation - Caching - Comparison of different ICN architecture designs - Critical analysis of previous work in ICN - Deployments of ICN - Economics and business models - Evaluation methodology and metrics - Experience from implementation - Feasibility studies of ICN for high speed networking - ICN support for ad hoc, direct peer-to-peer communication - Implementation strategies for ICN - Interoperability across ICN architectures - Management in ICN - Opportunities for ICN in the developing world - Privacy - Routing in ICN - Scalability analysis of ICN - Tools, experimentation facilities, and measurement methodology for ICN - Transport issues in ICN - Trust management and access control Submission instructions Papers submitted for consideration must not have been already published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period. Specifically, authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. ACM ICN 2016 invites two kind of submissions, namely Full-paper and Short-paper submissions. All submissions must be in English and in PDF format. Submissions that do not comply with these instructions will be rejected without review. Papers must be submitted electronically through the ICN 2016 submission site. Please refer to the detailed submission instructions that are reported on the ACM ICN 2016 website. Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length and should report on cross-disciplinary work, or less mature work not qualifying for a full submission. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note: Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Submissions will be reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A "best paper award" will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper tracks. The program committee may propose that authors either 1) revise papers of special merit and resubmit them to an ICN'16 workshop for consideration, or 2) present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract. Please notice that ACM ICN 2016 also have a specific call for proposals for workshops, demos, tutorials and panel sessions. Important Dates Paper Registration Deadline (Long and Short): May 7, 2016 (hard deadline) Paper Submission Deadline (Long and Short): May 15, 2016 (hard deadline) Acceptance Notification: July 7, 2016 Camera Ready Due: August 15, 2016 Conference dates: September 26-28, 2016 CALL FOR POSTERS, DEMOS, and DATASETS The ICN poster and demo sessions are intended to showcase works-in-progress. 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 ACM Information Centric Networking (ICN) 2016 CALL FOR TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/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).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal (EXTENDED DEADLINE 24 March) Datum: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 08:43:09 +0200 Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Antwort an: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email =================================================================================== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *Workshop on IoT-SoS: Internet of Things Smart Objects and Services* *in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2016 * *Coimbra, Portugal, June 21 - 24, 2016* *http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/* <http://www.ics.forth.gr/tnl/IoT-SoS-2016/> =================================================================================== OVERVIEW =========== The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, three of the most important challenges are: (1) Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet. (2) The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. (3). Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users’ data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving “by design”. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST =================== We highly encourage novel and innovative previously unpublished work. Topics include, but are not limited to: • System architectures for the IoT/M2M • Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications • Modeling and simulation of large¬scale IoT/M2M scenarios • Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT/M2M • Service platforms for IoT/M2M applications • Business models and processes for IoT/M2M applications • Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M devices • Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing • Testbeds for the IoT/M2M • Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT/M2M context • Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes and pilots • Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities IMPORTANT DATES =================== *Paper Submission (extended): by March 24, 2016* Notification of Acceptance: by April 15, 2016 Camera-ready Paper Due: by April 29, 2016 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ====================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submissions may be up to 9 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For the camera-ready (accepted) papers, authors can buy one additional page, i.e. up to 10 pages. http://wowmom2016.uc.pt/authors_instructions/ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ========================= *General Chairs:* · Elias Tragos, FORTH-ICS, Greece · Rasmus Nielsen, Movimento, USA · Adam Kapovits, Eurescom Gmbh, Germany *TPC Chairs:* • Stefano Iellamo, FORTH, Greece • Vangelis Angelakis, Linköping University, Sweden ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] All Things Cellular 2016 with ACM MobiCom Datum: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 12:40:37 +0000 Von: Mahesh K. Marina <mahesh(a)ED.AC.UK> Antwort an: Mahesh K. Marina <mahesh(a)ED.AC.UK> Organisation: The University of Edinburgh An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.) 2016 Workshop on All Things Cellular: Operations, Applications and Challenges http://networks.inf.ed.ac.uk/atc Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2016 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2016/ October 3-7 2016, New York, USA IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration / Abstract submission: May 24, 2016 Paper submission: May 31, 2016 Acceptance notification: July 8, 2016 Camera-ready due: July 15, 2016 SCOPE We are living in an increasingly connected mobile world, where smartphones and tablets are prevalent, wearable devices are growing, and the “Internet of Things” is permeating our lives. The number of mobile applications such as Apple Siri, Google Now, and Yelp is rapidly growing, and mobile connectivity is used for everything from Google Glass to vehicle fleet tracking. These applications and services have rapidly enriched our lives, particularly because much of the mobile ecosystem is vibrant and conducive to open innovation. An important part of this ecosystem is the underlying connectivity provided by cellular networks. While innovations in mobile applications have thrived, innovations in the underlying cellular systems are more limited. This is partially caused by the closed and monolithic nature of these networks, where the core design and operational challenges are typically not accessible to the broader research community. Specifically, research in mobile cellular networks has been hampered by the fact that academic researchers typically do not have access to radios, mobile protocol stacks, management tools, and realistic cellular network traces. As a result, until recently most wireless networking research was limited to Wi-Fi. The emergence of cellular mobile test networks is slowly changing this state of affairs and there is widespread optimism in the research community that we are at a tipping point where the interest of the research community will align with commercial and regulatory interests to foster innovation in cellular networks. As mobile cellular networks becoming more software based and flexible to enable technology innovation towards next generation mobile networks, it also paves the way for a wider research community to focus on cellular networks. To continue to nurture this scene change, this workshop aims to bring together mobile network operators, equipment vendors, regulators and industrial/academic researchers to discuss emerging problems, challenges, and potential solutions in this domain. To facilitate this discussion and engage stakeholders, we are soliciting technical papers, including position papers, that are no more than 6-pages long in the standard ACM two-column, 10 point format. Early work that stimulates discussions is also strongly encouraged. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Publication at the All Things Cellular workshop does not preclude later publication. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: * Radio resource allocation and usage profiling * Cellular network architecture and its evolution * Understanding and modeling cellular data traffic * Billing and pricing models * Cellular network security and privacy issues * Cellular network management * Cellular network measurements and measurement frameworks * Mobility * Energy efficiency * Spectrum shortage * Protocol design * Algorithms to improve performance and efficiency * Software-defined networking in cellular networks * Mobile network specific abstractions for network programmability * Mobile network function virtualization * Mobile network slicing * Mobile and wearable applications on cellular networks * Machine-to-machine services on cellular networks * Internet of Things in cellular networks * Hetnets, small cell architectures, fronthaul and backhaul solutions SUBMISSION Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than six (6) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.

The key themes of this workshop are two-fold: 1. Connected Vehicles: Based on short- and medium-range communications as well as on cellular networks, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications, efficiency applications and a multitude of other commercial or public authority applications. 2. Intelligent Vehicles: As vehicles are equipped with more sensing and computing capabilities, vehicles become more intelligent and are able to accomplish a number of challenging tasks including autonomous driving. We are currently witnessing the pursuit of high-performing, reliable, scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving connected and automated vehicle technologies, as well as associated mobility services. These ongoing innovations present an extraordinary challenge for the research community. The safety, real-time and security needs of vehicular systems and their application scenarios make the study of these systems both exciting and challenging. Goal-driven inter-disciplinary collaboration among the automotive industry and academic research community is increasingly seen as necessary. Furthermore, the connected and intelligent vehicle research field has been a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to connected vehicles or autonomous driving vehicles. Many relevant industry standards and consortia are being created to prepare for the maturity of these emerging technologies.

Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity. Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2016 workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas, discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous editions, this year's workshop is particularly interested in novel research directions, such as service co! mposition techniques, co-existence with infrastructure networks such solutions based on fog or edge computing, and insights from complex network analysis applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2016 include, but are not limited to: - Techniques for data dissemination and replication - Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms - Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities - Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems - Solutions based on fog or edge computing - Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems - Mobile social networking algorithms and applications - Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks - Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces - Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks - Cognition-driven information processing and decision making - Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications - Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks - Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks - Trust, security, and reputation - Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments - Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications - SNA and graph modeling for autonomic and opportunistic networks - Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications - Applications and middleware support - Routing, transport, and reliability issues PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submission will be managed electronically through EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21826). Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

They are novel mobile unmanned systems currently investigated in various mission-oriented civilian applications. Recent popular applications employing MAVs are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products (e.g., Amazon's announced drone delivery system), or video taking during sports events. Such drones are autonomous systems with a good awareness of their environment, provided by rich on board sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, lasers, GPS units and cameras, and embedded image processing. Nevertheless, all useful applications require a reliable communication link, or even rely on fleets of MAVs. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with communication aspects of micro aerial vehicles, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design for flexible aerial networks, as well as mission-oriented contributions dealing with requirements, constraints, safety issues, and regulation. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications. The program seeks original work of potentially interdisciplinary teams to present robotic work or applications focusing on the communication challenges or requirements to the audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Drone ad-hoc networks - Aerial communication protocol design - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Communication for drone coordination - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying approaches - Integration of MAVs in mobile, pervasive systems - Positioning and localization - Autonomous flight - Vision and object tracking - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Experimental results of aerial communication testbeds - Micro flying systems - MAC and routing protocols for MAV fleets - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of MAVs - Mission and context-aware solutions - Mobility-aware and 3D communications - Energy-efficient operation and energy harvesting of MAVs - MAV-based sensor networks - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Human drone interaction - Acceptance, security, reliability, and privacy aspects - UAV applications, e.g., in smart city, automated map generation, entertainment, emergency, precise agriculture, social good, etc. DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal.

Papers should be related to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make a convincing argument for the relevance of the results to secure systems. All topic areas related to computer and communications security are of interest and in scope. Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in the conference proceedings. Paper Submission Process ------------------------ Submissions must be made by the deadline of Monday, May 23, 2016 23:59 UTC-11. The review process will be carried out in two phases and authors will have an opportunity to comment on the first-phase reviews. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Note that submitted papers cannot be withdrawn from the process after the first phase reviews are received by authors. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. Paper Format ------------ Submissions must be at most 12 pages in double-column ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/ proceedings-templates) including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Conflicts of Interest --------------------- The program co-chairs require cooperation from both authors and program committee members to prevent submissions from being evaluated by reviewers who have a conflict of interest. During the submission process, we will ask authors to identify members of the program committee with whom they have a conflict of interest. This includes anyone with close personal or professional relationship to any of the authors, such as close family members, people from the same department/group, and recent collaborators (e.g. collaborated on a joint paper in the last two years). It also includes anyone in a position of substantial influence on (or by) the a uthors, such as advisor or advisee (at any time in the past), line-of-management relationship, grant program manager, etc. In rare cases, we will allow conflict-of-interest designation due to personal or professional animosity. In such cases, we require that in addition to marking the conflict during submission, the authors contact the program co-chairs by email and explain the reason for this conflict. Program committee members who have a conflict of interest with a paper, including program co-chairs, will be excluded from evaluation and discussion of the paper. In the case of a program co-chair, the other co-chairs who do not have conflicts will be responsible for managing that paper. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Extremecom 2016 - The Mendonoma Expedition - Call for Papers and Demos Datum: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 14:44:51 +0800 Von: CHATZOPOULOS Dimitrios <dcab(a)CSE.UST.HK> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS 7th Extreme Conference on Communication and Computing - The Mendonoma Expedition ExtremeCom 2016 14-19 August 2016, Manchester, Medocino county, CA, USA http://www.extremecom.org/ ****************************************************************** Scope ----- The Extreme Conference on Communication and Computing (ExtremeCom) brings together researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in rural, remote or other extreme environments, and computing in extreme operating conditions such as extreme temperatures and energy constraints, extreme quantities ("big data"), extremely large-scale systems, and extreme levels of threat and uncertainty, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example wireless communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, big data, distributed systems, cloud computing, business and services models, user experiences and web applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the conference. Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus, Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition in Zurich, Switzerland, ExtremeCom 2013 - The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano region in Iceland, and ExtremeCom 2014 - The Galapagos Expedition in Ecuador, we present the ExtremeCom 2016 edition: The Mendonoma Expedition. The conference will contain 3 days of excursions in the stunning nature of coastal northern California (Mendocino county). Along the way, participants will get to see and experience the varying landscape and visit coastal areas, explore the Stornetta lands national monument, and hike to the Point Arena hot springs along the Garcia river. During these excursions, we will visit the landing site of the original trans-pacific coaxial cables, which is today one of North-America's most important transoceanic fiber landing station, as well as several deployment sites of the FurtherReach.Net rural network where participants will interact with subscribers, operators and developers of this service to learn from their experience. The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such rural deployments, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. After the excursions, there will be two days of paper presentations and demos. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light. ****************************************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: May 24, 2016 Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2016 Early registration deadline: July 10, 2016 Registration deadline: July 21, 2016 Conference dates: August 14-19, 2016 ****************************************************************** Submission Guidelines --------------------- Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We will also have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers, including the prefix "Demo: " in the title. We only accept PDF files, no greater than 6 pages in length (2 pages for the demos), including text, figures and references.

Standardization is mostly complete with voluntary roll-out starting in Japan. Current generation is based mostly on broadcasting of beacons. As we go along, this first generation of vehicular networking technologies will face challenges in addressing the needs of connected vehicles and new applications that would go beyond the present day systems. 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) based on some predefined rules. 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, communications services providers, content providers, etc). In this view, one can exploit the information 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 information collected will be voluminous (big data) and will offer important insight, through machine learning, on vehicular grid and smart city operations. This expanded view will open up new opportunities as well as new challenges in managing the highly amorphous vehicular network structure and blending the "Internet of Vehicles" into the "Vehicles of the Internet" by making vehicular resources an integral part of the existing infrastructure. In other words, the Vehicular cloud becomes an entity of its own right and cooperates with edge clouds and Internet clouds. Potential topics of the Workshop are: - 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 Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- Submitted technical papers must be no longer than 6 pages including all figures, tables and references. The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of ACM Double Column Format submitted electronically in printable pdf form.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magzaine - SI on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability Datum: Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:56:02 -0400 Von: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> Antwort an: Kejie Lu <lukejie(a)ECE.UPRM.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this message +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | IEEE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON | | Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: | | Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous growth in the number of networked wireless devices, in the types of wireless and mobile applications, and in the total amount of traffic from and towards these devices. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that such a trend will continue with an unprecedented increasing rate. For instance, with the recent deployment of the fourth-generation (4G) cellular network, mobile data traffic rate over cellular networks had exceeded 2 Exabytes per month world-wide by the end of 2014. Recent studies also suggest that the mobile traffic rate could be increased 10-fold by 2019. Besides the ever-increasing mobile applications over cellular networks, many other wireless applications are emerging, including smart grid, vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), cyber-physical system (CPS), and more generally, Internet of Things (IoT). Clearly, to accommodate the fast growing demands, future wireless networks must be scalable. For the aforementioned existing and emerging wireless applications, it has been well-known that they have diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: from low data rate IoT monitoring applications to high data rate content streaming applications, from delay sensitive real-time monitoring in smart grid and safety control in vehicular CPS to delay-tolerant IoT applications. Therefore, it has been very challenging to design and develop practical wireless networks and systems to facilitate different application demands efficiently. To address these challenges, researchers and developers in both academia and industry have put significant efforts to design various wireless networks. For example, in the past few years, the architecture of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network has attracted significant attention, several future Internet architectures (FIAs) have also been proposed and investigated, and various architectures have been developed for smart grid, VANET, IoT, etc. Naturally, it becomes very important to investigate two issues: first, how we can flexibly deploy or configure a specific type of wireless network, and secondly, if we have multiple co-existing wireless networks, how we can enable the interoperation among them. In the literature, the importance of scalability, flexibility, and interoperability has been recognized and there are some existing studies already. However, despite the importance of these efforts, there are still many challenging issues to be addressed. For example, how to effectively accommodate more than 1 trillion networked devices world-wide in the next 10 years? How to efficiently provision services in future wireless networks such that a given system can be flexibly programmed to optimize the performance of certain applications? How to facilitate the interoperation of heterogeneous wireless networks and systems? To understand and solve these key issues, we organize this special issue in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine focusing on the scalability, flexibility, and interoperability in the design of architecture for future wireless networks. The special issue covers topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: - Architecture for large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) - Flexible architecture for applications with diverse data rates - Flexible architecture for systems and applications with diverse mobility requirements - Flexible cognitive radio and spectrum access - Interoperability between future Internet and wireless networks - Interoperability among diverse wireless networks - Namespace management in heterogeneous wireless networks - Routing in large-scale multihop wireless network - Security design on wireless scalability, flexibility, and interoperability - Scalable cooperative communications and network coding - Scalable data-centric wireless network architecture - Scalable energy efficiency wireless network - Scalable social-aware wireless network architecture - Standards for scalable, flexible, and interoperable wireless networks - Wireless network for large-scale cyber-physical-system SUBMISSIONS Authors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines regarding manuscript content and format.
