The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. 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 SWANSITY 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 componentsí interactions on a smart-city - Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities - Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; - 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; - 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; - Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing - Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management To be published in the IEEE SWANSITY Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE XploreÆ, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] Robotic Sensor Networks Workshop (part of CPSWeek) Deadline Extended to Feb/2/2015 Datum: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 08:02:35 +0000 Von: Pei Zhang <peizhang(a)CMU.EDU> An: itc(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear Colleagues, Due to multiple requests, we have extended the RSN2015 workshop deadline to *Feb/2/2015*. Please see bellow for the updated call. ==================================================================== Call for Papers: The 2nd Int. Workshop on Robotic Sensor Networks - part of CPSWEEK – ==================================================================== 13 April 2015 Seattle Washington, USA http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn15/ <http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn15/> Recent developments in sensing and actuation technology, along with the miniaturization of computing and communication, have led to the development of commodity robot technology such as hobby drones and robot toolkits. These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas. This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment. Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real-time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross-fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems. This will be the second edition of this workshop. The proceedings of the first edition are available at (http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/index.html <http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/kdantu/rsn14/index.html>). To build the needed interdisciplinary work ultimately necessary to the development of the field, the workshop seeks technical contributions describing original, previously unpublished results in all topics related to the design of robotic sensor networks, including works across two or more of the following topic areas: • Programming of robot swarms • Low-power communication in robot networks • Sensing coverage using robotic swarms • Task allocation • Distributed sensing • Distributed control • Coordination in robotic swarms • Verification and validation • Distributed planning and navigation • Novel applications • Experience reports Important dates: Extended Submission deadline: *Feb 2, 2015*. Notifications : Feb 9, 2015. Camera ready : Feb 16, 2015. Workshop : Apr 13, 2015. Submission Guidelines: We invite to submit papers in PDF format, of at most 6 pages in length including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, and using a minimum of 10-pt font. Please refer to the webpage for more details. Accepted submissions will be distributed along with the other workshops' proceedings via a USB key to the attendees. The papers will also be digitally archived via the ACM Digital Library.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: Do-It-Yourself Networking -- an Interdisciplinary Approach Datum: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 18:23:35 +0200 Von: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> Antwort an: Joerg Ott <jo(a)NETLAB.TKK.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers Interdisciplinary workshop on Do-It-Yourself networking May 18th, Florence, Italy, co-located with Mobisys 2015 Web site: http://diynetworking.net/ Hosting conference: http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2015/ Wireless technology enables today the creation of local offline networks, which can operate outside the public Internet. Even when the Internet is easily accessible, such local wireless networks form an interesting alternative, autonomous, option for communication, which 1) ensures that all connected devices are in de facto physical proximity, 2) offers opportunities and novel capabilities for creative combinations of virtual and physical contact, 3) enables free, anonymous and easy access, without the need for pre-installed applications or any credentials, and 4) can create feelings of ownership and independence, and lead to the appropriation of the hybrid space in the long-run. In other words, local wireless networks provide the technological means for more participatory processes, benefiting from the grassroots engagement of citizens in implementing the smart city vision through novel forms of social networking, crowd sourcing, and citizen science. But for these possibilities to be materialized there are many practical, social, political, and economic challenges that need to be addressed, and which require the involvement of researchers and practitioners from different fields and backgrounds. This workshop wishes to build on a recent interdisciplinary Dagstuhl seminar on "Do-It-Yourself networking", http://www.dagstuhl.de/14042 , which brought together a highly diverse group of researchers, practitioners, and activists to reflect on related technological and social issues. We made a first step to bridge the communication gap between those that build the technology (computer scientists, engineers, and hackers) and those that understand better the complex urban environment where this technology will be deployed (social and political scientists, urban planners, designers, and artists), as described in our final report: http://diynetworking.net/dagstuhl_report_14042.pdf The main objective of this workshop is to make one more step to bridge this gap in the engineering domain, beyond wishful thinking, and establish a series of similar workshops on the topic of DIY networking to be hosted every year in a different venue. So, in the 1st Interdisciplinary Workshop on DIY Networking at the Mobisys 2015 Conference, we invite 1) technical contributions that render DIY networking technology easier to be understood and used by less technically savvy people, and 2) theoretical contributions regarding the various inherent trade-offs in the design of DIY networks, which can help to build common understandings of the relationships between engineering decisions, design constraints and requirements, policies, and social impacts. The workshop will include a special interdisciplinary session, as an experiment, which will facilitate the participation of a more diverse audience than typically observed in engineering conferences like Mobisys. For this session, we will invite the presentation of working prototypes of mature DIY networking frameworks, novel application ideas by designers and social scientists, and short tutorials on important concepts such as power, privacy, self-organization, space, and community, in light of the application of such technology in urban settings. For the technical programme, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Previous or novel technical contributions in the area of DIY networking targeted for an interdisciplinary audience. - Holistic design approaches (infrastructure, protocols, applications, deployment plans). - User interfaces and usability both for administrators and users. - Modelling and analysis of the trade-offs related to privacy, security, performance, and more. - Social studies on the use of local networks operating outside the public Internet, like the recent example of Firechat in Hong Kong. - Theoretical studies of the interdisciplinary challenges around the design and deployment of DIY networks. For the special interdisciplinary session, we welcome the following types of contributions: - Demos of working prototypes of DIY networking applications or systems. - Posters or design mock-ups of imaginary applications. - Accounts of real-life deployments and experimentation and future imaginaries. - Short papers introducing and/or analyzing important concepts that can facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations. Submission Submitted papers for the technical programme should follow the format of the Mobisys conference. For the special interdisciplinary session, submissions should be limited to 2 pages, without a predefined format. More details for the submission procedure will be made available soon at http://diynetworking.net/submission.php Important Dates Submission deadline: February 28, 2015, 11:59 PM EST Notification deadline: March 22, 2015 Camera-ready workshop papers due: April 2, 2015 DIY networking Workshop at MobiSys 2015: May 18, 2015 Workshop chairs Panayotis Antoniadis (ETH Zurich & nethood.org, CH) Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Jörg Ott (Aalto University, FI) Keynote speakers Paul Dourish (University of California Irvine, US) Michael Smyth (Edinburgh Napier University, GB) Programme Committee Mostafa Ammar (GeorgiaTech, US) Ileana Apostol, (nethood.org, CH) Elizabeth Belding (University of California Santa Barbara, US) Ian Brown (Oxfrod University, UK) Efraín Foglia (mobilitylab & guifi.net, ES) Marcus Foth (Queensland University of Technology, AU) Tristan Henderson (University of St. Andrews, UK) Pan Hui (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HK) Karin Anna Hummel (ETH Zurich, CH) George Iosifidis (University of Thessaly, GR) Jussi Kangasharju (University of Helsinki, FI) Renato lo Cigno (University of Trento, IT) Anders Lindgren (Swedish Institute of Computer Science Kista, SE) Leandro Navarro (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, ES) Melanie Du Long de Rosnay (CNRS, FR) Leonardo Maccari (University of Trento, IT) Francesca Musiani (CNRS, FR) Sarfraz Nawaz (University of Cambridge, UK) Antti Oulasvirta (Aalto University, FI) Andrea Passarella (CNR Pisa, IT) Peter Reichl (University of Vienna, AT) Amalia Sabiescu (Coventry University, UK) Andreas Unteidig (Berlin University of the Arts, DE) (to be extended) -- Jörg Ott <jo(a)netlab.tkk.fi> http://www.netlab.tkk.fi/~jo/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The primary role of ICT in enabling this vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city. To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects (e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers, workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices. 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 SWANSITY 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 - Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities - Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks; - 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; - 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; - Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing - 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.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet 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, it allows for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. When human interaction is absent from the system dynamics, the vision is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT/M2M umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grids, smart city, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, and it is strongly expected that new applications will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. Presently, two of the most important challenges for the widespread use of IoT/M2M technologies are: i) architectures, protocols and algorithms for efficient interconnection of smart objects; and ii) the creation of value-added services enabled by the interconnection of smart objects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the IoT/M2M technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for IoT/M2M systems - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT/M2M communications - 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 - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT/M2M scenarios - Experiences with experimental IoT/M2M system prototypes, pilots, and testbeds - Dependability, security and privacy in the IoT/M2M context - Performance, QoS and SLA in IoT/M2M scenarios - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Novel and emerging IoT/M2M applications and case studies (eHealth, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Homes and Cities) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Several factors have contributed to this development, e.g., hardware advances (devices are smaller, more powerful, and batteries last longer), the heterogeneity of end-points (a range of devices and "intelligent things"), different architectures (networks of networks, self-configuring, opportunistic and ad-hoc networks), enhancements in technology (mobile, wireless, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC) and the ever more networked society (devices are increasingly affordable and ubiquitous). Such developments have created new network paradigms such as Vehicular Networks, Body Area Networks, Personal Area Networks, Smart Camera Networks, Virtualized Networks, Service-oriented Networks, Home Area Networks, and Named Data Networks. Novelties in network architectures, technologies and applications raise numerous challenges in terms of risk and trust, and in the trade-off between them. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, and foment discussion on risk and trust in emerging networks and how to best defend against their misuse. We encourage different types of contributions - surveys, technical and empirical contributions. Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to: ======================================== Risk assessment Trust management Risk modelling, estimation, metrics Challenges, attacks, and solutions Novel architectures, topologies and technologies Results of simulation, and testbed of trust models New network paradigms and protocols Trade-off between risk and trust Workshop Chairs =============== Virginia N.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Correction: Special issue on eHealth Datum: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:22:05 +0000 Von: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Hi Sorry for missing the journal and submission info. Here goes the complete CFP. Regards Sana CALL FOR PAPERS <Special Issue on “Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems” in IEEE Systems Journal> SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients´ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the “Information for Authors” at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] FINAL CFP: ACM e-Energy 2015 Datum: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 04:10:55 -0500 Von: Vincenzo Mancuso <vincenzo.mancuso(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Vincenzo Mancuso <vincenzo.mancuso(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS ACM e-Energy 2015 The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems July 14-17, 2015, Bangalore, India http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/ Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next generation “smart” and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in July 2015 aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small group interactions, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM eEnergy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: - Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings - Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems - Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-efficient data centers - The impact of storage integration on the smart grid - Electric Vehicle monitoring and control - Distribution and transmission network control techniques - Microgrid and distributed generation management and control - Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources - Smart grid communication architectures and protocols - Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure - Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management - Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems - HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness - User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies - Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems - Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Submissions Three types of contributions are solicited: - Regular papers, up to 10 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal.

The review process for regular papers will include a thorough evaluation by the program committee, opportunity for authors to respond to reviews, and a shepherding process to ensure compliance with review comments before the paper acceptance is finalized. - Challenge Papers, up to 6 pages in ACM double-column format, should present revolutionary new ideas that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the e-Energy research community. Challenge 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 into and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in the proceedings. The title of these papers must start with the prefix "Challenge:" i.e., "Challenge: Rest of the Title." - Poster and Demo Abstracts, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Additionally, the demo abstracts should be accompanied by a third page (which will not be published) describing the script of the demo to be presented as well as any special resource requirements (space, networking, electricity etc.). The title for the abstracts must have the prefix “Poster Abstract:” or “Demo Abstract:” as appropriate. The submission must be in PDF format with all fonts embedded, and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format.

Recently, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered to be able to conduct many interesting applications. For example, for the smart home service, wireless sensors can be in-built on electric devices. When a user controls a device by a smart controller, the corresponding wireless sensor receives the command and performs appropriate/smart actions. For the industry, wireless sensor nodes can be used to monitor the vibration of machines. When there is an abnormal alarm, the sensor nodes can generate an instant report to the person in charge. Besides the above two examples, there are many other novel applications developing based on WSN technology, e.g., indoor localization, disaster monitoring, structure health monitoring, and so on. These applications have different considerations and requirements that need to be conquered. The aim of this workshop is to provide the opportunities for researchers and industrials to discuss on the achievements on applications that integrate with wireless sensors. We encourage authors to show possible scenarios, development of prototyping implementations, and evaluations on real cases. We further welcome the ideas which integrate with smart portable devices, involve multiple platforms, and interwork between different standards/protocols. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: -Integration of multiple platforms/protocols/devices in WSN applications -Sensing devices designing for WSN applications -Transmission protocol design and standard develop for WSN applications -Power management and energy conserving for WSN applications -Data mining and security issues for WSN applications -Test-beds and platforms for specific WSN applications -Real case studies/demonstrations/measurements of WSN applications -Trends and novel applications ===================== Submission guidelines ===================== Submitted papers must be in camera-ready IEEE format, not exceeding 5 pages. Authors should submit their papers through EasyChair system for peer-review. The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsnap2015.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Internet of Things Journal, SI on Cloud Computing for IoT (Deadline Extended to 8 Dec 2014) Datum: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 13:14:10 +0100 Von: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> Antwort an: Edith Ngai <edith.ngai(a)IT.UU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ==================================================== IEEE Internet of Things Journal, Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT *** Submission Deadline Extended to: December 8th 2014 *** CALL FOR PAPERS ==================================================== Over recent past years there has been a growing interest in the ability of embedded devices, sensors, actuators to communicate and create a ubiquitous cyber-physical world. The growth of the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid development of technologies such as short range mobile communication and improved energy-efficiency is expected to create a pervasive connection of "things". This will inevitably result in the generation of enormous amount of data, which have to be stored, processed and accessed. Cloud computing has long been recognized as a paradigm for big data storage and analytics. The combination of cloud computing and IoT can enable ubiquitous sensing services and powerful processing of sensing data streams beyond the capability of individual "things", thus stimulating innovations in both fields. For example, cloud platforms allow the sensing data to be stored and used intelligently for smart monitoring and actuation with the smart devices. Novel data fusion algorithms, machine learning methods, and artificial intelligence techniques can be implemented and run centralized or distributed on the cloud to achieve automated decision making. These will boost the development of new applications such as smart cities, grids, and transportation systems. New challenges however arise when IoT meets cloud -- there is an urgent need for novel network architectures that seamlessly integrate them, and protocols that facilitate big data streaming from IoT to the cloud. QoS and QoE, as well as data security, privacy, and reliability, are critical concerns during the integration. This special issue solicits high-quality original research papers which focuses on the integration of cloud computing and IoT. We encourage submissions on theoretical, practical, as well as experimental studies, from both academia and industry, related to all aspects of Cloud Computing for IoT. High-quality survey papers that review the cutting edge research in this field would also be considered. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: - Network architecture for cloud and IoT integration - IoT and cloud data management - Cloud computing for large-scale sensor data stream processing - Cloud-assisted machine to machine communication - Innovative applications of cloud-based sensing architecture, e.g., smart cities, smart grids, transportation - Protocol design and modification for cloud and IoT integration (e.g., CoAP, IPv6) - Data security, privacy and reliability for cloud and IoT integration - Cloud-assisted IoT mobility management and QoE/QoS enhancement - Cloud-assisted ubiquitous sensing services and applications Important Dates ========================= Submission Deadline: December 1st 2014 First Reviews Due: March 31st 2014 Revision Due: May 1st 2014 Second Reviews Due/Notification: June 20st 2015 Final Manuscript Due: July 20th 2015 Publication Date: August 2015 Submission ========================= The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Cloud Computing for IoT. Solicited original submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication in other venues. Author guidelines and submission information can be found at http://iot.ieee.org/journal.

More specifically, the Internet of Things aims at offering new applications and services bridging the physical and virtual worlds, in which Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications represents the baseline communication that enables the interactions between Things and applications in the cloud. The Internet of Things allows for the pervasive interaction with/between smart things leading to an effective integration of information into the digital world. These smart (mobile) things - which are instrumented with sensing, actuation, and interaction capabilities - have the means to exchange information and influence real-world entities and other actors of such a digital world eco-system in real time, forming a smart pervasive computing environment. The objective is to achieve global access to the services and information through the so-called Web of Things, as well as efficient support for global communications. The first generation of IoT/M2M standards (from IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, IETF, oneM2M, etc.) is sufficiently mature to enable large-scale operational deployments. Connectivity, vertical data models, RESTful APIs and device lifecycle management are concrete examples of these foundation standards representing the basis of current deployments such as eHealth, automotive, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and smart cities. As the IoT deployment pace accelerates, a next generation of standards is needed to realize the full IoT/M2M vision. This feature topic seeks both mature and early research on candidate standards that will transfer to standards organizations such as oneM2M, IETF, 3GPP, IEEE, HGI, BBF, etc. Submitted papers in this feature topic are expected to focus on state-of-the-art research in various aspects of IoT/M2M from academics and industry viewpoints. The aim of this special issue is thus to offer a venue where researchers from both academia and industry can publish premier articles on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of IoT/M2M standards concepts. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following areas of standards research: * Lightweight protocols and structured data such as Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for the IoT * Interworking with other technologies and systems such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing * Advanced indexing, naming, and addressing of the IoT * Optimization and enhancement of the currently standardized IoT architectures * Novel concepts for sensors and actuators such as crowd-sourcing * Abstraction and Semantics technologies for devices and services * Experiences and field trials of IoT applications: Smart cities, digital * IoT/M2M Management: Device management evolutions, Autonomous management, Conflict management, service harmonization * Next generation of open platforms and hardware for the IoT * Security, Trust, Privacy and Identity in the IoT Manuscript Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. References should be limited to 10, figures and tables to a combined total of 6, and mathematical equations should be avoided. Paper length should not exceed 4,500 words. Complete guidelines can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central web site (at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the submission deadline. Submit articles to the category “August 2015/IoT M2M Standards Research” Submission Schedule * Manuscript Submission: 15-January-2015 * Notification of acceptance: 01-April-2015 * Final Manuscript Due: 01-June-2015 * Publication: August 2015 Guest Editors Omar Elloumi Alcatel-Lucent, France Email: omar.elloumi(a)alcatel-lucent.com <mailto:omar.elloumi@alcatel-lucent.com> JaeSeung Song Sejong University, South Korea Email: jssong(a)sejong.ac.kr <mailto:jssong@sejong.ac.kr> Yacine Ghamri-Doudane University of la Rochelle, France Email: yacine.ghamri(a)univ-lr.fr <mailto:yacine.ghamri@univ-lr.fr> Victor Leung University of British Columbia Email: vleung(a)ece.ubc.ca <mailto:vleung@ece.ubc.ca> -- JaeSeung Song, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Computer and Information Security, Sejong University Tel: +82-2-3408-2901 Mobile: +82-10-7355-2783 E-mail:jssong@sejong.ac.kr <mailto:E-mail%3Ajssong@sejong.ac.kr> Website: http://jseungsong.weebly.com

After successful deployment in the Internet and broadband networks, the latest trend is to introduce SOC into Disconnected, Intermittent and Limited (DIL) wireless/mobile networking environments, which are typical scenarios for rural area net-works, vehicular networks, battlefield networks and other resource-constrained or disadvantaged networks. Efficient and effective interoperability in these networks is highly demanded for various mission-critical ap-plication scenarios such as disaster relief in ravaged regions, search and rescue in remote areas and military/tactical operations in hostile environments. The workshop is therefore primarily concerned with latest re-search advances in improving the performance of SOC-based services and applications in DIL networks. We welcome papers concerned with all aspects of innovative design, implementation, deployment, evaluation and recommendation of SOC-based systems in DIL environments. In particular, the workshop solicits papers addressing the following topics: - Architecture, design, implementation and evaluation of SOC-based systems for DIL environments - Case studies involving DIL environments utilising SOC in various stages of development or use cases - Analysis, modelling and characterisation of DIL networks, and their impact on SOC-based services - SOC service composition, deployment, discovery and life cycle management in DIL environments such as vehicular networks, disaster relief, military tactical networks, emergency management - Adaptive, collaborative, location-aware, mission-critical and other smart applications in DIL environ-ments - Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) in DIL environments - Quality of Information (QoI) and Value of Information (VoI) in DIL environments - Security, mobility, network virtualisation, connectivity/routing, energy and medium access control solutions in DIL environments to enable improved SOC - Cross-layer optimisations in DIL environments for enhanced SOC performance - Emulation or simulation tools, and test beds for evaluating SOC interoperability in DIL environments - Standardisation and recommendations IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission by 17th December 2014 (FIRM DEADLINE) Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Spring 2015 conference proceedings and be included in IEEE Xplore.

Smartphones, tablet PCs, and other personal devices act as mobile computing elements able to gather information about the surrounding environment according to the mobility of users. In other situations these devices operate as mobile nodes of the computing and/or networking infrastructure, where interaction and communication occur opportunistically. The goal of PerMoby is to explore the impact of human mobility on the achievement of the pervasive computing vision. The focus is on pervasive applications, systems, and protocols where mobility plays an active role in achieving the end goals. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of human-centric applications and systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - pervasive systems and applications based on (or influenced by) human mobility - mobile phone sensing applications and systems - opportunistic and participatory sensing, and anything in between - opportunistic computing - pervasive systems with humans in the loop - wearable sensing systems - mobility models - distributed computing approaches that rely on human mobility - impact of human mobility on wireless communication - green pervasive applications that leverage human mobility - mobility aware protocols - opportunistic networking - pervasive social networking PUBLICATION AND INDEXING Papers are published in the combined proceedings of the IEEE PerCom Workshops and will appear on IEEExplore. According to Google’s metrics, the combined proceedings (main conference + workshops) are characterised by high values of h5 index and h5-median index, respectively equal to 32 and 45. This makes the IEEE PerCom Workshops one of the publication venues with higher visibility and impact in the area of pervasive computing. In the last years, the IEEE PerCom Workshops proceedings have always been indexed by Scopus. Besides appearing within the database, a paper that is published in the IEEE PerCom Workshops is both a “source” and a “destination” for the Scopus citation managing system (and thus it contributes to the author’s h-index and citation count, as computed by Scopus). PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and should not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts are limited to a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE conference format. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore. Paper submission will be via EDAS (further details will be available on the workshop website). IMPORTANT DATES - EXTENDED DEADLINE: December 7, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop: March 27, 2015 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Petteri Nurmi, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, University of Helsinki, Finland TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (not final) Mikael Asplund, Linköping University, Sweden Gergely Biczók, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Thanh Dang, Washington State University Vancouver, USA Denzil Ferreira, University of Oulu, Finland Anna Förster, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Shin'ichi Konomi, The University of Tokyo, Japan Brent Lagesse, University of Washington at Bothell, USA Neal Lathia, University of Cambridge, UK Alan Marchiori, Bucknell University, USA Liam Mcnamara, Uppsala University, Sweden Mirco Musolesi, University of Birmingham, UK Santi Phithakkitnukoon, Chiang Mai University, Thailand Christian Poellabauer, University of Notre Dame, USA Alicia Rodriguez-Carrion, University Carlos III of Madrid Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Salvatore Vanini, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy _______________________________________________ ISCC mailing list ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it https://mama.ing.unibo.it/listinfo/iscc

Paper submission deadline: December 5, 2014, 11:59 PM EST. MobiSys 2015 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. Please note that the Mobisys paper deadline and the conference itself is earlier than in the past, due to co-location with WWW 2015. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experience w/ mobile apps, networks and systems Innovative mobile sensing & 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 Operating systems for mobile devices Support for mobile social networking & 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 Contact If you have any questions, please contact Marco Gruteser (gruteser(a)winlab.rutgers.edu) and Jason Hong (jasonh(a)cs.cmu.edu) For general inquiries about MobiSys2015, please contact MobiSys15Chairs(a)sigmobile.org.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Frank Dürr" <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Gesendet: 25. November 2014 18:59:21 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) -- DEADLINE EXTENDED to Dec. 7th, 2014 Please note that the deadline of PerEnergy has been extended to December 7th, 2014! ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Extended submission deadline: December 7, 2014 March 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serve 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 in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus 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 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 the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research 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. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Extended submissions deadline: December 7, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
