-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Elias Tragos <etragos(a)ICS.FORTH.GR> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2016 17:21:03 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on IoT-SoS in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM June 2016, Coimbra, Portugal 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: by March 10, 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.

They enable a large scope of new applications that require all these objects to communicate, to interact, to share data and processes. All these objects have popped up from there to there, using their own communication means, OS or language. A key open issue to realize the full capacity of such concept is thus interoperability. How to make them fully compliant? This conference will present some current research and open issues in interoperability in IoT, ranging from virtualization to standardization.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [EASED] CfP EASED 2016 Datum: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:54:10 +0100 Von: Stefan Naumann <s.naumann(a)umwelt-campus.de> An: Liste "Energy Aware Software - Engineering and Development" <eased(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> * Apologies for cross-postings * Dear colleagues, we want kindly invite you to the 5th Workshop “Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development” (EASED@EnviroInfo2016). Deadline for full papers: March 31 2016 Deadline for Work in Progress, Short Contributions and Posters: July 15 2016 More information http://enviroinfo2016.org/sessions/energy-aware-software-engineering-and-de… Workshop Goals and Topics Software-Engineering aims at developing and evolving software systems in an economic manner, considering project specific needs and quality goals. One of these quality goals, which become more and more important, is “energy efficiency of software systems”. Improving the energy consumption of mobile devices will not only increase the uptime and battery lifespan, it will also improve the carbon footprint. Viewing energy efficiency, is not only restricted to mobile devices, it also affects e.g. embedded systems and data centers, where energy is a major factor in costs and environmental burden. Next to serious and ongoing efforts in hardware design, on operating system level, and by optimized code generation, software engineering techniques also contribute to optimizing energy consumption by improving software design: wasting energy can be avoided by e.g. removing energy code smells, improving data-base queries and storage methodologies, exchanging fast, but energy consuming components by slower but more energy efficient alternatives. The EASED workshop series on Energy Aware Software-Engineering and Development, which will be held at EnviroInfo for the 5th time, focusses on the intensive presentation and discussion of methods and technologies to optimize the energy consumption of systems by improving the used software. Among others, these techniques include techniques * detecting energy smells, * optimizing code, * avoiding energy waste, * measuring energy consumption, caused by software, and * modeling software caused energy behavior of embedded systems.

According to an "anti-Copernican" view, humans are put back at the centre of the "Internet universe", whenever they are in the loop of cyber-world services. Applications, middlewares, but even Internet services and network protocols are more and more designed incorporating Human Individual and Social Behavioural (HISB) models. This is particularly the case when users' personal devices are themselves the network, or provide services to each other such as in mobile self-organising networks, because devices become the "proxies" of their users in the cyber world. Interestingly, similar approaches are also explored in Internet technologies in developing scenarios, where users' participation is often exploited as another resource for networking services. This vision, that we call "the Internet of People" (IoP) generalises emerging concepts and technologies such as IoT, which put the emphasis on the communication between "machines", and adapt to the users' behaviour only as an afterthought. Designing IoP protocols, services and applications thus requires a profound inter-disciplinary approach, where "non-ICT disciplines" such as social sciences, cognitive sciences, economics, complex network sciences, impact the way Internet algorithms are conceived and defined. Note that other types of inter-disciplinary design patterns i.e., bio-inspired approaches where non-human natural behaviours are used as inspiration for network protocols and services, are out of scope. This workshop aims to stimulate research following this view, and aggregate an inter-disciplinary community of researchers around the concept of the Internet of People. Specifically, we seek papers presenting IoP approaches, addressing any layer of the canonical Internet stack or cross-layer combinations thereof, where the human behaviour is at the centre of the design. Also, we welcome submissions that analyse how the human behaviour is affected (and possibly modified) by the use of Internet systems, and how the latter can be improved or re-designed accordingly. The workshop will accept papers where quantitative evidence is available or quantitative approaches are applied. Therefore, purely methodological papers or qualitative analyses will be considered out of scope. Papers proposing novel, thought provoking ideas, possibly presenting preliminary results and analyses are also welcome. However, we do not call for position papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following - Networking IoP protocols based on HISB models - Information-centric IoP protocols based on HISB models - IoP services, service-composition and middleware solutions based on HISB models - Online Social Network services based on HISB models - Analysis and modelling of human behaviours in massively diffused Internet services, such as Online Social Networks - Complex network approaches to IoP - IoP protocols and services in developing regions - Privacy, security and trust mechanisms for IoP based on HISB models - QoE aspects in IoP - Human-centric, inter-disciplinary IoP solutions for IoT scenarios - Crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, pervasive sensing in IoP - Test and experimental results with IoP solutions - Architecture, design and implementation of IoP protocols - Modelling, analysis and characterisation of IoP solutions For any additional information please visit the workshop website at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/iopw2016/, or contact the workshop chairs at iopw2016 <at> iit <dot> cnr <dot> it BEST PAPER AWARD ---------------- IoP-W 2016 will grant a Best Paper Award sponsored by IFIP TC6.

Surrounding energy, from sources such as solar, wind, radio frequency, etc., can be collected and stored for sustainable operation, leading to a new area: battery-free systems. Getting rid of batteries, nodes can be applicable to scenarios where nodes with large volume and limited lifetime are not preferred. Such battery-free systems have great potential to function autonomously, doing sensing and communications tasks without attended operation from human after deployment. The challenging issue lies in how to coordinate the sensing and communications among battery-free nodes such that the system performance can be guaranteed. Since the energy arrival at nodes is typically hard to predict, some preliminary works have been done to design efficient energy management schemes. However, it is still pressing to design a new architecture that enables autonomous battery-free sensing and communications. The objective of this call is to bring more thoughts, effort, and applications in the related areas that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call 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 The manuscript must be original and has not been under submission in any other journals or conferences.

On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being. We list below some indicative topics of interest organized by themes. * Connected Communities Infrastructure and Supporting Technologies - Internet of Everything (Iox) And Anything/Everything As A Service (Xaas) For Connected Communities - Sustainable Large-Scale Sensor Networks For Urban Environments - High Performance Computing/Networking For Sensor Data Processing - Service Frameworks for Connected Communities - Privacy-Preservation In The Urban Infrastructure - Security and Resilience Of The Communications Infrastructure * Connected Communities Service Frameworks and Protocols to Integrate Rural Communities - Solutions for Urban Data Storage and Access - IoT-to-BURD Supply Chain - Ontology-Based Fusion of Smart City Datasets - Connected Community Governance and Management * Connected Communities Applications - Citizen Participation and E-Democracy - Healthcare and Lifestyle Data Processing and Analysis - Support for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Cloud-Based Analytics for Urban Decision-Making - Real-Time Scalable Analytics for Large-Scale Datasets ** Deadlines Submissions: April 30th, 2016 First decisions: July 15th, 2016 Revisions: October 1st, 2016 Final decisions: December 1st, 2016 Publication materials due: January 1st, 2017 ** Sunmission To submit a paper,please follow the instructions on http://toit.acm.org/submission.html ** Guest Editors - Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University,UAE http://www.kustar.ac.ae/pages/prof-ernesto-damiani - Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/centres/success/iat/tiki-index.php?page=rkowalczy k - Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK https://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/gp.parr.html ** Contact Please send queries about this CFP to toit.asc.ge(a)gmail.com ** ACM TOIT Editor in Chief Munindar P.Singh Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University mpsingh(a)acm.org http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Technical Committee http://committees.comsoc.org/itc/ To subscribe or unsubscribe: https://comsoc-listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=itc&A=1

Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process? Submissions ----------- Please send previously unpublished manuscripts to Kai.Jakobs(a)comsys.rwth-aachen.de. Full papers (up to 14 pages) and Short Papers (up to 6 pages); both in English or German, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer's 'Lecture Notes in Informatics' (LNI), see (in German) https://www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI_Vorlage_Word.d…).

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.

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*. *Submission Instructions*: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of *27th March 2016*.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP ACM MobiCom 2016 Datum: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 09:02:43 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> Antwort an: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM MobiCom 2016 Call for Papers http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2016/ As the premier conference on mobile computing and wireless networking, MobiCom 2016 solicits full papers (limited to 12 pages excluding references) that focus on the theory, system, practice, and challenge of providing users with an enriched and ubiquitous mobile or wireless experience. At its core, we solicit papers that address important challenges in access/communication, energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing. We strongly encourage papers on emerging mobile/wireless topics including but not limited to next generation (5G) mobile networks, Internet of things, machine-to-machine communications, visible light communication, novel access paradigms/modalities, smart devices, wearable computing, and mobile data science/analysis. We also invite papers that integrate mobile/wireless research with innovations in cloud computing and software defined networking. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. In addition to regular, full research papers, the conference also invites submission in the following categories: Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as description of the practical lessons learned. The experiences papers will be evaluated by the MobiCom technical program committee, primarily for (i) the richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks as well as on the society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is not suitable as an experience paper. The selected experience papers will be a part of the MobiCom technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the f! ull papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Experience:". Challenge Papers The conference also invites submission of short papers (limited to 8 pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom technical program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Challenge:". Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines will be immediately rejected: • Full papers - Maximum of 12 pages excluding references (i.e. submissions may include as many additional pages as needed for references) • Experience/Challenge Papers - Maximum of 8 pages excluding references • Font size no smaller than 10 points • Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column • Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches) • Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) Datum: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 10:41:22 +0100 Von: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: ANTONIO DE LA OLIVA DELGADO <aoliva(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Workshop @ Mobihoc 2016: On-the-fly services in on-the-fly mobile infrastructures (OSOMI) http://osomi2016.weebly.com/ Scope of the workshop: Mobile networks and mobile ad hoc networks in particular have a long history of research on spontaneously, on-the-fly creating an infrastructure that is suitable for the execution of particular communication tasks. In the past, however, the service to be supported by the network has been considered as something fairly static and simple: unicasting, broadcasting, perhaps geocasting. The state of the art in services, however, moves toward dynamically creating services as necessary, on-demand (consider Network Function Virtualization as an example). For such dynamically, on-the-fly created services, support in fixed networks by dynamically creating infrastructures has received some attention in the recent past. The idea of executing such dynamically configured, dynamically distributed services on a wireless, mobile infrastructure has, however, not been considered in the literature so far. The challenges here are hard: can we reconfigure a wireless network to support a given service layout, e.g., by on-the-fly creation of distributed antenna arrays to span large distances? Can we assign roles of multiple services to different nodes, taking both service and application needs explicitly into account? We welcome submission on the joint creating and management of both the infrastructure and the service, not necessarily limited to wireless or mobile ad hoc networks. Example topics include, but are not limited to: • Reconfigurable services in reconfigurable wireless and mobile networks • Wireless SDN • Distributed applications in mobile networks, e.g., signal processing • Reuse of application building blocks • Role assignment, component placement and scaling, substrate reconfiguration • Multi-tenancy of wireless domains • Network Function Virtualisation applied to wireless processing The workshop is colocated with Mobihoc 2016 ( http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2016/), which takes place in Paderborn, Germany. Important Dates • Submission deadline: 15 of March, 2016 • Authors notification: 1st of May, 2016 • Camera-ready due: 1st of June, 2016 • Workshop date: July 5th, 2016 Submission instructions will be posted on the workshop’s web page.

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] Workshop on Hilariously Low-Power Computing: Pushing the Boundaries of Intermittently Powered Devices (HLPC2016) Datum: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 10:14:30 -0500 Von: Kasim Sinan YILDIRIM <k.s.yildirim(a)TUDELFT.NL> Antwort an: Kasim Sinan YILDIRIM <k.s.yildirim(a)TUDELFT.NL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Workshop on Hilariously Low-Power Computing: Pushing the Boundaries of Intermittently Powered Devices (HLPC2016) Co-located with ASPLOS'16 April 2, 2016, Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.hlpc2016.com/index.html Scope: Intermittently Powered Devices (IPDs) are embedded devices that have no tethered power supply and very little, or no energy storage capacity. These devices typically operate using energy harvested from their environment e.g., RF, solar, vibration, etc. When energy is intermittently available, IPDs can perform computation, use peripheral devices (e.g., sensors), and communicate (e.g., via backscatter). These devices currently operate at approximately 10 microJ/Byte energy consumption, enabling today's devices to support simple, short-lived, primarily isolated applications. With improvements in computer architectures, hardware and software systems, the communications stack, emerging memory technologies, and energy harvesting and transfer, we envision devices that operate in the sub-nJ/Byte range, supporting long-running, sophisticated, sensor-rich, widely-communicating applications. This workshop exists to bring together researchers at the intersection of programming languages, software systems, extreme low-power computer architecture, and embedded communication and computing devices. Call for Papers: The workshop seeks paper submission in four main areas: IPDs (Intermittently Powered Devices) IPDs at the limits of minimum power consumption - HLPDs (Hilariously Low Power Devices) IPDs that are embedded - DEIs (Deeply Embedded IPDs) IPDs and communication - HLPComms (Hilariously Low-Power Communication) These areas are mapped into topic for consideration that include: Software-defined wirelessly-programmable IPDs Programming techniques for IPDs Backscatter and other ultra-low power communication primitives System support for reliability and robustness to intermittence Computer architecture for IPDs Operating systems for IPDs Applications of emerging, non-volatile memory and compute devices in IPDs Novel energy harvesting and transfer techniques Tradeoffs between power transfer and communication and coding for both Error-correction and control (both for storage and communication) Theoretical limits of computation and communication in IPDs Studies and experience reports on emerging IPD applications Testbeds, platform engineering reports, and experimental datasets Deadlines: Paper Submission: February 15, 2016 (GMT-5) Notification of acceptance: March 4, 2016 (GMT-5) Final paper submission: March 18, 2016 (GMT-5) Workshop day: April 2, 2016 Paper Submission Guidelines Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Papers can be at most 6 pages in length including figures, tables, and references.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications - Special Issue on Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks: Scalability, Flexibility, and Interoperability Datum: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 17:42:21 -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.

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.
