Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality.

Wireless sensor networking has attracted the attention of practitioners and researchers from both industry and academia. This type of networks consists of a collection of tiny, resource-limited, low-reliable sensing devices that are randomly or deterministically deployed in a field of interest to monitor a physical phenomenon and report their results to a central gathering point, known as a sink. These sensing devices suffer from their scarce capabilities, such as bandwidth, storage, CPU, battery power (or energy), sensing, and communication. In particular, mission-oriented WSNs are viewed as time-varying systems composed of autonomous mobile sensing devices (e.g., using mobile robots) that collaborate and coordinate distributedly to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. The major challenge in the design of mission-oriented WSNs is due to their dynamic topology and architecture, which is caused mainly by sensing devices mobility. The latter may have significant impact on the performance of mission-oriented WSNs in terms of their sensing coverage and network connectivity. In such continuously dynamic environments, sensing devices should self-organize and move purposefully to accomplish any mission in their deployment field while extending the operational network lifetime. In particular, the design of mission-oriented WSNs should account for trade-offs between several attributes, such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, and delay. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs research and practice. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of mission-oriented WSNs. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications. The topics of interest to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented WSNs * Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs * System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs * Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs * Cross-layer design for mission-oriented WSNs * Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs * Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs * Coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs * Deployment and localization in mission-oriented WSNs * Uncertainty and opportunistic communications in mission-oriented WSNs * Topology control and fault-tolerance in mission-oriented WSNs * Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs * In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs * Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs * Purposeful mobility in mission-oriented WSNs * Target detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs * Privacy and security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs * Cloud computing and its applications to mission-oriented WSNs * Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs * Submission IEEE MiSeNet 2016 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to IEEE MiSeNet 2016 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability (i.e., within the workshop scope), novelty, and merit.

Automobile manufacturers and OEMs have collaborated to reserve a dedicated, harmonized radio spectrum in Europe; several large-scale projects have developed software and hardware solutions for vehicular communication; and ETSI, as well as the IEEE, have standardized protocols covering many communication aspects. Yet, IVC as a research field continues to evolve, and new research questions arise. What is the role of IVC as supporting technology for autonomous vehicles? Will reliability and latency requirements be met with current standards? Should IVC support large-scale information dissemination, which requires more advanced algorithms than those currently standardized? What are the benefits and drawbacks of cellular communication compared to IEEE 802.11p-based networks? Should IVC be open to other road users, such as pedestrians and bicycles, which would require interaction with mobile phones using suitable protocols? The 4th Fachgespräch on IVC aims to provide an open forum to discuss such on-going and emerging questions, as well as to provide an overview of the research field to scientists that just joined the IVC community. GOALS The GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication is a highly engaging, interactive meeting where young researchers and experienced colleagues share and discuss new research directions and early results in the areas of inter-vehicle communication and automated vehicles. Participants can expect an open and welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on discussions and networking opportunities, as well as presentations of novel and on-going work. TOPICS OF INTEREST - Communication protocol design and network management - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Vehicle-to-cyclist/Vehicle-to-pedestrian communication - Applications of vehicular networks - Simulation frameworks - Real-world testbeds - Autonomous driving - Cooperative driving - Security in automated vehicles - Traffic management for automated vehicles - Human interfaces for automated vehicles - Security issues and countermeasures - Misbehavior detection in vehicular and in-vehicle communication - Privacy in traffic applications - Electric vehicle applications SUBMISSION Manuscripts of 2 to 4 pages length, formatted according to IEEE conference layout, should be submitted as PDF documents.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] MobiSys 2016 - Call for Papers - Abstract deadline on Wednesday Dec 2nd. Datum: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 05:23:52 +0000 Von: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> Antwort an: Tamer Nadeem <nadeem(a)CS.ODU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ************************* Apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ************************** *** Abstract Submission deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) *** ** Full Paper Submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) ** [header] Call for Papers (http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/) ACM MobiSys 2016 will continue the tradition of publishing top-notch research papers dealing with all aspects of mobile systems. MobiSys seeks original papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Of particular interest are technical contributions that enable new and compelling mobile scenarios and applications. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Experience with mobile apps, networks and systems * Innovative wearable, mobile, sensing, and crowdsourcing apps * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems * Innovative wearable or mobile devices * Novel software architectures for mobile devices * Data management for mobile applications * Infrastructure support for node mobility * System-level energy management for mobile devices * Operating systems for mobile devices * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web * Security and privacy in mobile systems * Systems for location and context sensing and awareness * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * Vehicular wireless systems * User interfaces and usability for mobile applications and systems * Personal-area networks and systems * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile systems Papers on work that is currently under review elsewhere, whether in shorter, longer, or the same form, must not be submitted to MobiSys. Submission of a longer version of a published, not just accepted, workshop paper is encouraged only if it includes significant new contributions. However, the authors must cite their workshop paper. Furthermore, extended versions of papers submitted to ACM HotMobile 2016 should not be submitted to ACM MobiSys 2016, as it is extremely unlikely that they would meet this standard of significant new contributions. Submissions will be single blind, i.e., reviewers will be anonymous and submissions should include authors' names and institutions. We strongly encourage prospective authors to use past MobiSys proceedings as a guideline to assess the readiness of their work for submission. Due to high review load on TPC members, low quality or premature work submitted to the conference is likely to receive a small number of reviews and the reviews may be brief. ACM has been making an effort to support more open access to the proceedings of its sponsored conferences. As a result, the ACM MobiSys 2016 proceedings may be publicly available through the conference website from two weeks before the conference to two weeks after it. Proceedings may be made available in other formats in addition to PDF, such as ePub. A brief public review that summarizes the PC’s opinion of each published paper may also be made available. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. Papers meeting any of these criteria will be rejected. Authors uncertain whether their submission meets these guidelines should contact the program chairs. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. As part of the submission process, authors of papers that describe experiments on human subjects, or that analyze non-public data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), will be asked to certify that their work was vetted by an ethics review (e.g., IRB approval) or certify that such a review is not needed in their country or organization. We expect authors to follow the rules of their host institutions around data collection and experiments with human subjects. The submission process will include a free-form paragraph of text that authors can optionally fill out. This is information that the PC chairs may or may not consider during the paper selection process. If the paper is a resubmission of a previous MobiSys rejection, then authors may consider summarizing major improvements made to the paper. Best Paper Award All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. Selected outstanding papers may be fast-tracked to a special section of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Video Presentation The authors of each accepted paper will submit a short 1-minute video to introduce the research presented in their paper to the general public. These videos will be placed on the conference website before the conference, and may be played during the conference. A selected set may be featured by the social media channels related to the conference. Submission Guidelines Detailed formatting guidelines and access to the submission server will be made available closer to the submission deadline and will be provided here.<http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2016/submission.php> Important Dates * Abstract registration deadline: December 2, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth * Paper submission deadline: December 9, 2015, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) * Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2016 * Camera-ready due: May 9, 2016 * Video submission due: June 1, 2016, 11:59 PM AOE (any time zone on Earth) Contact If you have any questions, please contact MobiSys2016-TPCChair(a)acm.org<mailto:MobiSys2016-TPCChair@acm.org> [Footer] ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Enriched with several sensing capabilities and networking interfaces, today’s portable devices are enabling new ways of communication including Mobile Networking in Proximity (MNP). This network mode complements the classic scenario with Internet coverage enlarging the range of functionalities of these devices through short-range communications (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, etc.) in situations where Internet may not be available. When two devices are in proximity, they could still share information without the need of continual Internet connectivity just exploiting the meeting opportunities and activating an opportunistic hop-by-hop forwarding towa! rds the destination. In this view, the social-aware or social-inspired mobile networking research is increasingly underlining the benefits and the need of having knowledge of the social behavior of users for the MNP design. On one hand, the social behavior of mobile nodes can be extracted from mobility. On the other hand, also online social network interactions may provide information about user’s social behavior. As such, the convergence between the two worlds, the physical offline one made by mobile devices and the cyber online one made by the online social networks is getting more and more important, opening a novel and interesting research field with many challenging issues. The goal of this Computer Networks Special Issue is to solicit the research closely related to the mobile and social networking reporting advances on approaches, methods, and applications envisioning and addressing the challenges in this field. Topics of Interest __________________ * Social-aware modeling, design and development of routing algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Trust, security and privacy, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems and key management algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Social metrics for network operation * Participatory mobile sensing, crowd sourcing and social media mining integration algorithms in cyber-physical MNP * Application of mixed physical and online social network sensing * Comparison of human social behavior in online and offline social networks over MNP and its evolution over time * Impact of online social behavior on MNP algorithms * Design of cyber-physical applications for MNP based on behavioral models * Graph analysis applied to cyber-physical MNP * Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating cyber-physical MNP * Real experiences and experiments with cyber-physical MNP Submission Details __________________ Submissions will be judged based on their originality, novelty, and quality. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been previously published or are currently submitted for publication. The submission must be clearly written and in excellent English, with a maximum page limit of 20 pages.

Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serves as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data such that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations of recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and future development of smart energy management systems. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Distributed infrastructures for collecting energy data and relevant context information - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Novel system architectures for pervasive energy services - Scalable system concepts and algorithms for processing and analyzing energy data - Exploitation of energy data and context information for the optimized control of distributed loads and energy sources (in particular, renewable sources) - Energy services for smart home and office spaces, including energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and informed load shifting - Use cases and user studies of pervasive energy services highlighting research gaps - Experiences with prototypes and pilots of smart energy applications and services - Privacy, safety, and security in pervasive energy services - Experiences with energy metering installations and data sets for the comparison of consumer characteristics in a globalized world - Energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home and office spaces Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Qing Yang <qing.yang(a)CS.MONTANA.EDU> Gesendet: 19. November 2015 20:19:48 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Extended: IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine SI on Device-to-Device (D2D) Communications with Social Awareness CALL FOR PAPERS In recent years, high data rate applications have become more and more popular in cellular network, e.g. video calls, interactive gaming, and mobile social networking. To efficiently facilitate more high data rate services among nearby users and devices, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been proposed and has attracted significant attention in both the academia and the industry. A major issue in D2D communication is to understand the impact of the social networks. Since mobile devices are typically used and carried by people, a natural question one may ask is: “What are the benefits of considering human’s social relations in D2D communication?” For example, when a person is at work, he might exploit his social connections to nearby co-workers to improve the quality of D2D communications, e.g., by asking the most trustful user/device to relay his network traffic. When there is no trustworthy friend in the vicinity, he might negotiate with nearby users/strangers to achieve cooperative D2D communication by offering relay assistance to each other. Such mutually beneficial actions will also help expand this person’s social network. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: -Social-aware device discovery in D2D technology -LTE-A SAE architecture for social-aware D2D technology -Social-aware security mechanism for D2D networks -Social-aware D2D for public safety -Social-aware D2D for vehicular communication -Social-aware/application-ware frequency reuse and spectrum sharing for D2D communication -Social-aware protocols for D2D communication -Social-aware/application-ware power and interference management -Social aware resource allocation and optimization for D2D -Social-aware neighbor discovery and link maintenance -Crowdsourcing in D2D networks -Trust and reputations in D2D networks -Cognitive and cooperative D2D communication -Social-aware routing protocols for multi-hop D2D networks -Social-aware apps for D2D communication -E-health with D2D communication IMPORTANT DATES -Manuscript Submission: Jan 1, 2016 -Initial Decision: February 15, 2016 -Revised Manuscript Due: March 15, 2016 -Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2016 -Final Manuscript Due: May 10, 2016 -Publication Date: August 2016 SUBMISSION Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/author-guidelines).

Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications, March 14-18 2016, Sydney, Australia. Important Dates ======================================================================== Paper Submission Deadline: Nov. 27, 2015 Author Notification: Jan. 2, 2016 Camera Ready Paper: Jan. 15, 2016 Author registration due: Jan. 15, 2016 Workshop: tbd Abstract ======================================================================== There is a growing interest in context-aware applications that intelligently support user tasks by acting autonomously on behalf of users. Among others, activity of the user is one important context. Behavior of context-aware applications depends not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on the context sensed during their execution. Some early models of context information already exist, however many research issues related to context information modeling are still not fully addressed. Existing context models vary in types of context information they can represent; e.g., either the user's current situation or the physical environment. A more generic approach to context modeling is needed in order to capture various features of context information including a variety of types of context information, dependencies between context information, quality of context information and context histories. Tools for modeling and reasoning with the social context of groups of people are also needed. In addition, to ease software engineering problems, appropriate abstractions are necessary to support discovery and reuse of context information as well as scalable methods of context processing and management. This workshop's aim is to advance the state of the art in context modeling and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop: * Context modeling techniques * Domain-specific context models * Ontology-based approaches to context modeling and reasoning * Hybrid context models (integration of various modeling techniques) * Advanced issues in context modeling, including issues of information quality, ambiguity, and provenance * Context reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy * Social context modeling and recognition * Discovery and reuse of context information * Privacy, security and trust of context information * Distributed and scalable context management * Tool support for context modeling and development of context model-based applications * Balance of autonomy with user control * Machine learning and reasoning techniques for context and activity recognition Workshop Committee ======================================================================== Workshop Co-Chairs: Matthias Wieland, Universit‰t Stuttgart, Germany Peizhao Hu, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA Program Committee: Martin Bauer, NEC Europe Ltd., Germany Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Jingyuan Cheng, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Germany Klaus David, University of Kassel, Germany Ms. Natalia DÌaz RodrÌguez, ≈bo Akademi University, Finland Frank D¸rr, University of Stuttgart, Germany Markus Endler, PUC-Rio, Brazil Rim Helaoui, Philips Research, Netherlands Jadwiga Indulska, The University of Queensland, Australia Thomas Kirste, University of Rostock, Germany Daniela Nicklas, University of Bamberg, Germany Daniele Riboni, University of Milan, Italy Anni-Yasmin Turhan, Technische Universit‰t Dresden, Germany Massimo Valla, Telecom Italia, Italy Zhiwen Yu, Northwestern Polytechnical University, P.

The resiliency of such communication systems in face of natural disasters, malicious attacks, or even day-to-day wear and tear has become of great importance to maintain the continuous operation of such critical systems. Resilience can have many definitions that range from the ability of a communication system to operate under harsh environments or to withstand malicious attacks, all the way to its adaptability to failures or other unexpected events. In particular, resilience of public safety communication networks during emergencies can become a matter of life or death, since first responders and public safety personnel rely heavily on wired and wireless communication capabilities to execute their search and rescue operations. At the same time, critical infrastructure networks and other civil protection network deployments need to be highly robust, and function effectively in the presence of dynamically varying external and internal conditions. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to resilient and robust communication networks, as well as their applications in public safety and critical infrastructure systems. *Area/Topics of interest*: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: · New definitions of resiliency as it applies to wired and wireless communication systems. · Public safety communication (PSC) systems relying on 4G LTE and 5G wireless technologies. · Public safety spectrum sharing, future spectrum requirements for PSC networks. · Resiliency studies for PSC networks and infrastructure against natural disasters, and terrorist/cyber-attacks. · Use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for enhancing PSC and communication resiliency. · Resilient cyber-physical systems and smart cities. · Synergies between resilient control systems and resilient communication networks. · Advanced technologies such as device-to-device, multi-hop, and relay-based communications for enhanced PSC. · Propagation channel measurements and modeling for PSC. · Interworking and interoperability between public safety networks and commercial networks. · Game-theoretic techniques, resource allocation, and power control for resilient and public safety communications. · Software defined radio (SDR) testbeds and experimentation on resilient systems. · Software-defined management and control mechanisms for improving PSC communication resilience. · The role of cyber-physical systems in resiliency. · Resilient rapidly deployable communication networks. *Workshop Co-Chairs*: Walid Saad (Virginia Tech, USA) Ismail Guvenc (Florida International University, USA) Tinku Rasheed (Orion Innovations, Greece) *Important Dates:* - Paper submission deadline: December 4, 2015 - Acceptance notification: February 21, 2016 - Camera-ready papers: March 13, 2016 *Additional Information*: https://sites.google.com/site/rpscs2016 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Currently, mainstream IoT directions are drifting towards application specific solutions and the development of proprietary versions of IoT. Under the premise of ubiquitous Internet access and IPv6 connectivity, many IoT variants have evolved without considering interoperability across the spectrum of existing and operable infrastructures, nor the impact on underlying networking infrastructures and ensuing performance. We invite original work that aims at a convergent view of IoT, one that specifically adopts heterogeneous architectures, and inherently builds upon interoperability with existing connected infrastructures. This encompasses work on resource identification, calibration, profiling, and utilization in a dynamic IoT framework. We invite original contributions that address crowd-based IoT infrastructures, encompassing incentive schemes, and collaboration and cooperation schemes, to ensure maximal utility of ubiquitously accessible smart resources. We strongly encourage results from industry and academia, and solicit research that facilitates functional scalability for a truly survivable version of IoT. We advocate for empowering IoT architectures that adopt rapid resource management in a quad-fold approach: 1) inter-networking between heterogeneous components over dynamic access schemes (ZigBee, ANT+, BLE, WiFi, etc), 2) Rapid resource discovery, identification, profiling and promotion in real-time, 3) Establishing formal descriptors for IoT services to enable rapid matching with heterogeneous IoT resources, regardless of underlying proprietary infrastructures, and 4) Developing elastic pricing models to solicit crowd-contribution and offset IoT deployment costs, by leveraging resource facilitation. Areas/Topics of interest: Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Data and organization Interoperability challenges for IoT systems - Quality of Information pruning for crowd-solicited data in heterogeneous IoT - Resource identification, discovery, and profiling in heterogeneous IoT - Beyond IPv6 Connectivity for on-demand IoT - IoT Interoperability issues across access schemes - Infrastructure-less IoT survivability - IoT infrastructures for Data management and Analytics - Resource sharing and actuation conflicts resolution - Crowd-solicited IoT proliferation - IoT systems collaboration and cooperation mechanisms - Innovative IoT incentive schemes - Convergent paradigms in the Internet of Things - Non-proprietary standardization frameworks for a heterogeneous IoT - Convergent services on malleable IoT infrastructures (i.e. based on Information/data planes) - IoT service orchestration and scheduling - Industrial Internet – Value creation and challenges - Legal and governance frameworks for IoT regulation Workshop Co-Chairs: Maurizio Dècina – Politecnico di Milano, Italy Sharief Oteafy – Queen’s University, Canada Mervat Abu-Elkheir – Mansoura University, Egypt Important Dates Paper Submission December 4th, 2015 Acceptance Notification February 21st, 2015 Camera-ready March 13th, 2015 Submissions We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published or currently under review. Authors can submit a full paper (up to 6 pages) that describes complete works in a self-contained manner with the intent to give an oral presentation. For style and submission guidelines, kindly refer to the author instructions available on the IEEE ICC 2016 website: http://icc2016.ieee-icc.org/call-for-submissions Sincerely, Sharief Oteafy --- Sharief Oteafy, PhD Adjunct Assistant Professor School of Computing Queen’s University http://cs.queensu.ca/~oteafy/ Tel: (613) 533-6000 x 75029 Fax: (613) 533-6513 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP IEEE PERCOM 2016 Workshop on Security Privacy and Trust in the IoT (SPT-IoT) Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 12:01:44 +0000 Von: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Robin Ram Mohan Doss <robin.doss(a)DEAKIN.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 1st IEEE PERCOM WORKSHOP ON SECURITY PRIVACY AND TRUST IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS (SPT-IOT) 2016 In conjunction with IEEE PERCOM 2016 March 14-18, 2016 Sydney, Australia EDAS link: http://edas.info/N21137 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel design paradigm, envisioned as a network of billions or trillions of machines communicating with one another and rapidly gaining global attention from academia, industry, and government. Pervasive computing is at the heart of IoT and forms a fundamental building block necessary to realize the IoT. Equipped with pervasive technologies such as RFID and smart dust in addition to sensors, actuators and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, IoT has the potential to offer innovative solutions to global challenges faced by ageing populations, climate change, growing cost of healthcare as well as how we manage our environment and natural resources.. The heterogeneous nature of the IoT as well as the computational constraints of many of the building blocks of the IoT make security, privacy and trust a challenging problem to solve on the one hand, while security, privacy and trust play a critical role for most if not all applications of IoT in doma ins such as surveillance, healthcare, security, transport, food safety, manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management. Without effective solutions for security, privacy and trust reliable data fusion and mining, qualified services with context-aware intelligence and enhanced user acceptance and experience cannot be achieved. The proposed IEEE Percom workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry, standardization bodies, and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for the IoT with a specific focus on IoT security, privacy and trust. The technical discussion will be focused on the communications and network security aspects of IoT and the key enabling technologies for IoT, especially M2M communications and networking, RFID technology and Near Field Communications (NFC), the challenges to security, privacy and trust presented and novel approaches to solving these challenges. The technical topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - IoT secure access network technologies and capillary networks; - secure channel and traffic models; - secure spectrum management for M2M/IoT radio communications; - security of RFID, sensors, actuator technologies; - IoT secure network infrastructure; - IoT security protocols; - privacy in applications of the IoT; - IoT networking and communication security; - circuit and system design for secure smart objects in the IoT; - security, trust, and privacy issues for devices and services; - naming, address management and end-to-end addressability; - methods for secure by design IoT; - methods for IoT security analysis and audit; - privacy and anonymization techniques in IoT; - secure cloud of things; - trust management architectures; - lightweight security solutions; - authentication and access control in IoT; - identification and biometrics in IoT; - liability and policy enforcement in IoT; - security of Big data in IoT; - cyber physical systems security; - cyber attacks detection and prevention; - embedded platforms for cryptography (implementations for performance-optimized, resource constrained, energy-efficient platforms); - hardware security primitives; - secure pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing Software and Systems; - new Privacy and Security Techniques for Embedded Software and Systems; and - ethics and legal considerations in IoT.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: Elsevier COMCOM Special Issue: Multi-X Vehicular Comm's Datum: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 11:52:00 +0100 Von: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> Antwort an: Christoph Sommer <sommer(a)CCS-LABS.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ** now open for submissions; deadline extended to 30 November 2015 ** Elsevier Computer Communications Special Issue Call for Papers Multi-radio, Multi-technology, Multi-system Vehicular Communications Scope ----- Vehicular networks have rapidly evolved from their roots as an application of mobile ad hoc networks to today's fusion of interdisciplinary research on computer communications. Inspired by governments' visions of vastly improved road traffic safety and transport efficiency and hailed as industry's enabler of a plethora of value-added services for passengers and drivers, stakeholders are pushing the rulemaking for an adoption of vehicular communication technologies in newly sold cars, in turn inspiring bold research ventures. Despite the plethora of efforts devoted to this research field, the peculiarities of vehicular environments call into question the capabilities of existing solutions and standard specifications to meet the increasingly strict scalability, reliability, and quality of experience demands of such visions. Indeed, the expected tsunami of data to be exchanged, both to support cooperative/autonomous driving applications and to satisfy the growing data appetite of users on wheels, will burden the network. In such a context, the widespread availability of multiple radio technologies and multiple radio channels per technology, along with complete communication systems is envisioned to merge with sophisticated physical layer and medium access control approaches, and emerging cognitive radio and software-defined radio techniques, thus opening the door to new exciting research opportunities in multi-radio, multi-technology, multi-system vehicular communications.

Workshop on New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things (MadCom) Intl. Workshop on Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet (NextMote) www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016 ==================================================================== MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things ==================================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/MadCom2016 For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + magnetic induction communication + infrared communication + laser communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + acoustic communication + applications for novel wireless communication methods + new platforms + theoretical models + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies ==================================================================== NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ==================================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/NextMote2016 The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: firstly so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and secondly smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". What will they be, and how to design them? The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions ==================================================================== The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications. Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike.

On the one hand, the impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel patterns of users interactions through social networks, also depending on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least, pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks. The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze, study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary approaches, that exploit models of the users personal and social behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications. The special issue aims to encourage the multidisciplinary discussion involving academics, researchers and professionals on theories, approaches, analysis, design and evaluation of services and networking solutions for Pervasive Social Computing. Researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide range of Pervasive Social Computing challenges residing in Social networks and Social Computing systems including: their architecture, algorithms and protocols for social networking services, the creation of new analysis models, the monitoring of emerging trends, studies on trust, privacy and security issues and their potential applications.
