-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Call for papers: Special Issue on Community Networks - Elsevier Computer Networks Journal Datum: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:48:55 +0200 Von: felix(a)ac.upc.edu An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-…> Community networking is an emerging model for the Future Internet where communities of citizens build, operate and own open IP-based networks, forming a key infrastructure for individual and collective digital participation. Although community-based networks often extend or complement the coverage of networks of commercial ISPs, they differ in several key aspects. There is usually no central authority that is responsible for a precise network planning; a community network grows organically. Support is decentralized and open, provided by the community to the community. The network nodes are often inexpensive off-the-shelf equipment and the network elements exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in the hardware, software, and capacity. The entire network infrastructure belongs to the users and is shared to build the network. The network is very dynamic: the number of nodes may rapidly grow and change as new members join the network, or when nodes overload or fail. These community networks are usually built with low cost point-to-point wireless links organised in mesh networks, with an increasing presence of optical fibre links. In these scenarios, the networking and systems research community has the opportunity to contribute with more sustainable, adaptive, scalable, integrated, autonomic solutions for those common traits in community networks. This special issue aims to collect publications addressing theoretical and practical challenges of community networks and services, including multi-disciplinary contributions that provide insights in the socio-technical-economic understanding of the community network operation and growth. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Wireless mesh network protocols for community networks Wireless MAC and routing protocols for heterogeneous community networks Services and applications in community networks Cross-layer designs and implementation in community networks Hybrid community networks with wireless and optical fibre links Tools for bootstrapping and running community networks Clouds for community networks Interoperation of cloud-based community services Performance modelling and evaluation of community networks and services Quality of service provisioning Quality of experience in community networks Community network security and privacy Large-scale management and data collection infrastructures Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to participate in community networks Socio-technical-economic models for community networks Community networks research infrastructure Submission Details This special issue solicits papers from an open call and extended papers selected from the International Workshop on Community Networks and Bottom-up-Broadband (CNBuB). http://research.ac.upc.edu/ <http://research.ac.upc.edu/>(CNBuB2014, CNBuB2013, CNBuB2012) The journal submission should extend previously published workshop/conference papers considerably (a minimum of 30%) with new content. Papers that are essentially the same as the workshop papers will be rejected and will not be considered for review. All received submissions within the scope of this special issue will be sent out for blind peer review by three experts in the field and be evaluated in regards to the relevance for this special issue, level of novelty, depth of contribution, and overall quality. Submitted articles must be original, unpublished, and not currently under review by other journals. If the paper was preliminarily published at a conference, the submitted manuscript must be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to explain the enhancements made in the journal version. Submitted articles must be written clearly, in good English, and should not exceed 20 pages, everything included such as abstract, figures, tables, references, etc. Authors should follow the Computer Networks manuscript format which can be found athttp://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-au… <http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-networks/1389-1286/guide-for-auth…>.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:49:09 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ING.UNIPI.IT> Antwort an: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ING.UNIPI.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. 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 - Submission deadline: November 26, 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 Melek Önen, EURECOM, France Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy 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 Yaxiong Zhao, Google, USA Marco Zuniga, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands STEERING COMMITTEE Daniele Puccinelli, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) Alessio Vecchio, University of Pisa, Italy ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:12:25 +0200 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Submission Deadline: November 26, 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 --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP Deadline Extended to November 1, 2014: IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT". Datum: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 02:49:03 -0400 Von: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> Antwort an: Shusen Yang <s.yang09(a)IMPERIAL.AC.UK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------- -IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issues on "Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT -Submission deadline extended to November 1, 2014 AIMS AND SCOPE -------------------------------- The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (smartphones, wearable devices, smart vehicles) have been playing an increasing important role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), which bridge the digital space and physical world at a societal scale. Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than static sensor networks. This promotes the emergence of a fast-growing consumer-centric sensing paradigm, the Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). As an evolution of participatory sensing, MCS has two unique features: (1) it involves both implicit and explicit participation; (2) MCS collects data from two user-participant data sources: mobile social networks and mobile sensing. Various categories of knowledge (e.g. location, personal and social context, user feelings/opinions, traffic conditions, and pollution) reported by smart device users, are shared w! ithin the social sphere, practitioners, health care providers, and utility providers, enabling a broad range of applications and services such as urban dynamic mining, public safety, and environment monitoring. Numerous research challenges arise from the MCS paradigm including participatory and opportunistic data collection, incentive mechanism design, transient networking, quality of user-contributed data, privacy concerns, and big data processing and analytics. This special issue provides the opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and application developers to review and discuss the state-of-the-art and trends of MCS techniques and applications or propose new solutions. In particular, we solicit high-quality original research papers on MCS, including but not limited to the following topics: - IoT Architecture/Framework for MCS - Optimized Data Collection Task Allocation - Communication in Transient Networking Environments - Crowdsourced Data Processing and Urban/Social Context Mining - Incentive Mechanisms for Participatory Sensing - Heterogeneous Crowdsourced Data Fusion - Dealing with Low Quality Data in MCS - Trust and Privacy Issues in MCS - MCS for Social Networking - Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence in MCS - Emerging/Novel MCS Apps and Systems (environment monitoring, public safety, traffic planning, etc.) IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- - Submissions Deadline: November 1, 2014 - First Reviews Due: February 1, 2015 - Revision Due: March 1, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Acceptance letters: April 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: May 1, 2015 - Publication Date: June, 2015 SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES ----------------------------------- The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on MCS for IoT. Solicited original submission 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. All manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot GUEST EDITORS ----------------------------------- Bin Guo, Northwestern Polytechnical Univ. email: guobin.keio(a)gmail.com Shusen Yang, Imperial College London email: s.yang09(a)imperial.ac.uk Janne Lindqvist, Rutgers University email: janne(a)winlab.rutgers.edu Xing Xie, Microsoft Research email: xing.xie(a)microsoft.com Raghu K.

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. Regular papers are intended to describe high quality research work based on novel ideas that have been thoroughly evaluated. The 10 pages limit is intended to be an upper bound and we encourage the authors to take fewer pages if appropriate. 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. Papers that do not meet the size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. Word and LaTeX templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Economides <economid(a)uom.gr> An: tciin.isat(a)u-bourgogne.fr http://conta.uom.gr/SPIC2015/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fconta.uom.gr%2FSPIC2015%2F&h=5AQ…> The First IEEE International Workshop on Security and Privacy for Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems (SPIC 2015) Organized in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2015) <http://icc2015.ieee-icc.org/> 8-12 June 2015, London, UK (CFP in PDF Format) <http://conta.uom.gr/SPIC2015/images/SPIC2015_CFP.pdf> SCOPE Recent advances in networking, communications, computation, software, and hardware technologies have revolutionized the way humans, smart things, and engineered systems interact and exchange information. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which are the major contributors to this area, will fuel the realization of this new, globally interconnected cyber-world. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of IoT and CPS systems strongly depend on the security, privacy and trust of the IoT and cyber-physical devices as well as the sensitive data being exchanged. While these technologies offer a lot of new possibilities, the increasing complexity of hardware and software as well as the worldwide access increase the vulnerability to security attacks. Successful attacks targeted to IoT devices and CPS systems have in common that not only a single computer is affected, but also interconnected technical systems allowing interaction with the physical world are influenced leading to malfunction of devices and control systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses. This fact highlights the need to develop novel tools that will constitute the heart of a much-needed science of security for IoT and CPS. The goal of the SPIC workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results aimed at addressing all aspects of security and privacy for IoT and CPS. TOPICS OF INTEREST To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this field, the SPIC Workshop solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: o Security, Privacy and Trust for IoT and CPS Systems o Secure IoT and CPS architectures o Security vulnerabilities in IoT and CPS systems o Detecting and preventing attacks in IoT devices and CPS systems o Evaluation of the Threats, Attacks and Risks in IoT and cyber-physical devices o Data Security and Privacy in the IoT o Game theory for IoT and CPS security o Security and Privacy in IoT applications and services (health care, smart cities, smart grid, safety and surveillance systems, etc.) o Security and Privacy for RFID, sensors, actuator technologies o Security in Smart Grids and Smart Spaces o Network-distributed signal processing for security solutions in CPS o Joint security and privacy aware protocol design o Test-bed and performance metrics of security solutions in CPS o Deployment and performance studies of secure CPS o Secure network control systems for CPS applications o Secure implementation of cyber-physical systems o Architectures for secure hardware/software CPS systems SUBMISSION PROCEDURE The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges the opening between the various computer related communication technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to explore this growing and timely research topic. This feature topic will benefit the research community towards identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms, protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to: - Authorization and access control for UC services - Denial of service prevention schemes for UC - Reliability and availability issues on UC - Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention - End-to-end security solutions - Cryptographic protocols for UC - Voice security - Signaling security and privacy - Multimedia application security and privacy analysis - Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks - Security and privacy in mobile communication services - Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy - Social networking security and privacy - Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services - Trust establishment in UC - IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security - Privacy and identity management - Privacy enhancing technologies for UC - Privacy models for UC - Security and privacy assessment for UC - Security policies - Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services - Risk analysis and management - Cyber-security issues affecting UC - Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure - VoIP peering security issues All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.

Currently, wireless communication informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require the exchange of kinematic information in distributed control algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio. serious injuries worldwide every year. Dependable wireless communications with short-latency, low outage probability over non-stationary vehicular communication channels is a challenging task. It involves a multi disciplinary effort including vehicular channel measurements, characterization and modeling; cooperative communications; and low-latency protocol design. A dependable wireless communication framework will be essential for vehicular ad-hoc networks, device-to-device communication links in future 5G systems, and cyber physical systems in general. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of dependable vehicular communication systems. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to dependable vehicular communications. The workshop will be co-located with IEEE ICC 2015, the International Conference on Communications (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), in London, UK. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Vehicular channel measurements - Channel characterization and modeling - Channel estimation algorithms - Cooperative communications for vehicular scenarios - Signal processing techniques - Protocols for cooperative communications - Integration of vehicular networks in 5G systems - Dependability aspects of channel access - Fault tolerant protocols and error recovery - System level simulation concepts - Key requirements (latency, reliability) and conformance tests for DVC - Performance bounds and optimization - Field tests of vehicular communications Organizing Committee: Thomas Zemen (FTW) Jerome Härri (EURECOM) Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien) Claude Oestges (UCL) Stefan Rührup (FTW) Christoph Sommer (Universität Paderborn) Erik Ström (Chalmers University) Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.)

This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets * Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)!

Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 13, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy.

On Nov. 19th we are holding a workshop on testbed-based wireless research at KTH in Stockholm. Among technical presentations, there will also be so called "community meetings" for WARP and USRP, organized by repesentatives from Mango Communications and National Instruments. These meetings give you an opportunity to get to know the development roadmap ahead, while also allowing to discuss recent/novel initiatives etc. The workshop is free of charge but we ask for registration in advance: - Registration deadline for talks is Oct. 15th. - Registration deadline for attendance is Nov 1st. More details below ... Hope to see you in Sthlm, James ############################### European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden web:http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html Following up on the successful "scandinavian workshop on testbed based wireless research" of last year we are happy to announce the more ambitious first "European workshop on testbed based wireless research" which will also be held at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH. ### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to 1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams. To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community. For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to): - Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.) ### Registration ### For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st. Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg(a)ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] . ### Workshop Organization and Program Committee ### - Per Zetterberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - James Gross (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - Patrick Murphy (Mango Communications) - Leif Johansson (National Instruments) - Linda Doyle (Trinity College Dublin) - Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt) -- James Gross Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Osquldas Väg 10, SE-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46-8-7908819 Web: people.kth.se/~jamesgr/ -- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Extended deadline: Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE'15) Datum: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:16:20 +0200 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================== --------------------------------- EXTENDED DEADLINE: 3 October 2014 --------------------------------- MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy in conjunction with NetSys 2015 March 12, 2015 Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================== MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage. The scope of the workshop includes contributions that address the integration of energy metering equipment from different manufacturers into a single middleware system which operates on a building level, as well as novel means to collect, process and visualize these data. Accepted papers will not only present novel research results in these domains, but also comprise an evaluation in which their merits are assessed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel energy metering hardware designs and experiences - Data collection and command distribution protocols for energy management systems - Middleware systems for energy data, including novel local data processing algorithms - Control of alternative energy sources to increase their production efficiency - Innovative tools to model and visualize energy expenditure and production - Sensing and actuation of electrical loads - Privacy and security in energy management middleware systems - User interfaces for energy display, management and control PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE two-column format. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. More details about the submission process can be found on the website. IMPORTANT DATES Submission: Oct. 3rd, 2014 (extended deadline) Notification: Nov. 17th, 2014 Camera Ready: Dec. 10th, 2014 Workshop: Mar. 12th, 2015 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Matteo Ceriotti, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Delphine Christin, University of Bonn & Fraunhofer FKIE, Germany Alexander De Luca, LMU München, Germany Paul Dunphy, Newcastle University, UK Wilfried Elmenreich, Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Austria Stefan Fischer, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Hannes Frey, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Marco Ortolani, University of Palermo, Italy Oliver Parson, University of Southampton, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales, Australia Christian Renner, Universität zu Lübeck, Germany Christian Steger, TU Graz, Austria Volker Turau, TU Hamburg-Harburg, Germany Sebastian Zöller, TU Darmstadt, Germany ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

The paper submission deadline is fast approaching. Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 6, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please email the PC chair at croy(a)illinois.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In order to achieve real time context awareness, data related to personal context needs to be sensed and used. This bears technical, and at the same time legal and psychological implications. The 1st Workshop on interdisciplinary advances in real time context awareness addresses researchers who focus on technical, legal, psychological aspects, and especially interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. The ubiquitous availability of sensors in mobile and personal devices (e.g. smartphones) enables the collection of personal situation specific user data. This data can be used for real time context aware applications. At the same time, legal and psychological issues emerge when processing personal user data. Therefore, we invite researchers in computer science and related disciplines to submit original work on advances and interdisciplinary research on real time context awareness. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Real time context data processing, and forecasting * Security and privacy in real time context awareness * Legal implications and requirements of real time context aware systems * Psychological implications and requirements of real time context aware systems Important Dates: ---------------- * Paper Submission: September 26th, 2014 * Author Notification: November 8th, 2014 * Camera-Ready Submission: December 10th, 2014 * Workshop: March 13th, 2014 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not considered elsewhere for publication.

To accommodate various streaming data of IoT applications, LTE/LTE-A standards have defined several quality-of-service (QoS) classes for different traffic characteristics, in terms of traffic bit-rate, tolerable delay and packet loss rate. Moreover, to meet the stringent power-saving requirements for IoT devices, LTE/LTE-A standards also have defined the discontinuous reception/transmission (DRX/DTX) mechanism to allow devices to turn off their radio interfaces and go to sleep when no data need to be received or transmitted from/to the evolved Node B (eNB). Clearly, the convergence of IoT and 3GPP LTE network can considerably benefit both sides. IoT devices could efficiently transfer their data using LTE/LTE-A networks, while the LTE/LTE-A operators may develop more value-added IoT services. Despite such promising future, there are still many challenges for IoT over LTE/LTE-A network. This special issue aims to help both industry and academia research communities to better understand the recent progress and potential research directions on the path towards the future of IoT over LTE/LTE-A. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following categories: * Future IoT concepts, applications and services for LTE/LTE-A networks * Energy efficient IoT with LTE DRX/DTX fine tune * QoS provisioning and cross-layer design for Internet of Things over 4G cellular network * LTE Security and privacy enhancement for Internet of Things * Hierarchical LTE IoT architectures and eNB IoT Gateway * Novel traffic modeling and resource/mobility management for LTE/LTE-A IoT * Commercial model and case study of LTE/LTE-A IoT System * Data-centric, protocol-centric and technology-centric approaches for the design of IoT in LTE/LTE-A * Data fusion and aggregation for IoT over LTE/LTE-A * Novel pricing, billing and charging schemes for LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Successful testbeds and trials of LTE/LTE-A IoT system * Current and future standardization activities related to cellular IoT IMPORTANT DATES - Submissions Deadline: March 15, 2015 - First Reviews Due: June 15, 2015 - Revision Due: July 15, 2015 - Second Reviews Due/Notification: August 15, 2015 - Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2015 - Publication Date: October 20 SUBMISSION The special issue seeks submission of papers that present novel original results and findings on Internet of Things over LTE/LTE-A Network.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] PerMoby 2015 CFP Datum: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:32:17 +0200 Von: Alessio Vecchio <a.vecchio(a)ing.unipi.it> An: ISCC(a)mama.ing.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEE PerCom International Workshop on the Impact of Human Mobility on Pervasive Systems and Applications (PerMoby 2015) http://vecchio.iet.unipi.it/permoby March 27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA in conjunction with PerCom 2015 (http://www.percom.org) March 23-27 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The key components of many pervasive systems and applications are already deployed in the form of ubiquitous commercial products carried by humans. Human mobility makes it possible for such key components to interact, promoting cooperation and sharing of content, services and resources. 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 - Submission deadline: November 26, 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

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI)
by Lars Wolf 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "Mirja Kühlewind" <mirja.kuehlewind(a)TIK.EE.ETHZ.CH> Gesendet: 9. September 2014 06:21:45 GMT-10:00 An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers: IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI) 26-27 January 2015 – ETH Zürich, Switzerland The Internet’s transport layer has ossified, squeezed between narrow interfaces (from BSD sockets to pseudo-transport over HTTPS) and increasing in-network modification of traffic by middleboxes that make assumptions about the protocols running through them. This ossification makes it difficult to innovate in the transport layer, through the deployment of new protocols or the extension of existing ones. At the same time, emerging applications require functionality that existing protocols can provide only inefficiently, if at all. To begin to address this problem, the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), within the scope of its IP Stack Evolution Program, is organizing a workshop to discuss approaches to de-ossifying transport, especially with respect to interactions with middleboxes and new methods for implementing transport protocols. Recognizing that the end-to-end principle has long been compromised, we start with the fundamental question of matching paths through the Internet with certain characteristics to application and transport requirements. Which paths through the Internet are actually available to applications? Which transports can be used over these paths? How can applications cooperate with network elements to improve path establishment and discovery? Can common transport functionality and standardization help application developers to implement and deploy such approaches in today’s Internet? Could cooperative approaches give us a way to rebalance the Internet back toward its end-to-end roots? Topics For this workshop we would like to consider topics that speak to these questions, including the following: - Development and deployment of transport-like features in application- layer protocols - Methods for discovery of path characteristics and protocol availability along a path - Methods for middlebox detection and characterization of middlebox behavior and functionality - Methods for NAT and middlebox traversal in the establishment of end- to-end paths - Mechanisms for cooperative path-endpoint signaling, and lessons learned from existing approaches - Economic considerations and incentives for cooperation in middlebox deployment We will explicitly focus on approaches that are incrementally deployable within the present Internet. The outcome of the workshop will be architectural and engineering guidance on future work in the area, published as an IAB workshop report, based on discussion of proposed approaches; future work will be pursued within the IAB Stack Evolution Program. We will also explore possible areas for standardization, e.g. new protocols that separate signaling to and from on-path devices and common transport semantics from the rest of the transport protocol; and for general guidance, e.g. how transports as well as middleboxes can be designed and deployed to achieve these goals. Submission Instructions Attendance at the workshop is by invitation. Prospective participants are invited to submit short position papers outlining their views on one or more topics related to the scope of the workshop. Position papers will be published on the IAB website at: http://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/semi/. Submissions accepted at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semi2015 Submission Deadline: 31 October 2014 Notification Deadline: 17 November 2014 Workshop Dates: 26-27 January 2015 Sponsored by the Internet Architecture Board, the Internet Society, and ETH Zürich.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call For Demonstrations - NetSys 2015 Datum: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 09:47:52 +0200 Von: Andreas Paul <andreas.paul(a)TU-COTTBUS.DE> Antwort an: Andreas Paul <andreas.paul(a)TU-COTTBUS.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG **** Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message **** ======================================================================== CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS (Communication Software Award) NetSys 2015 2nd International Conference on Networked Systems http://www.netsys2015.com Cottbus, Germany, March 9-13, 2015 ======================================================================== The special interest group for communication and distributed systems of the German Association for Computer Science (GI/ITG Fachgruppe KuVS) is calling for applications for the biennial Communication Software Award. The Communication Software Award honors the best practice-oriented application, tool, framework, or demonstration showing innovative and original research in the areas of networks, communication, and distributed systems. Submissions of novel, original works from both academia and industry are invited, nominations of students, from academic research projects, or small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are especially encouraged. Products that are already commercially available during the NetSys’15 conference are excluded from the awards. Nominations of either single applicants or groups are welcome, the best student application may get an additional award. The submission should include an extended abstract of up to two pages. Submissions should include authorship (with affiliations), the problem domain and application of the communication software nominated, platform requirements, and the envisioned licensing scheme. They should explicitly state what will be demonstrated at the NetSys 2015 conference and how the audience will be able to interact and experiment with it. The following assessment criteria should additionally be explicitly addressed: * the relevance to its application in practice * innovation and novelty of the new software * enhancements as compared to prior systems * the state of the software and its maturity for application Submission Process: ------------------- All nominations will undergo a preliminary review process for shortlisting. All shortlisted systems will have to be presented at the NetSys 2015 conference in Cottbus (registration to the conference is therefore required) in a demo session, and the prize will be awarded following the final selection of the committee on site. Submissions should be emailed to the committee chair of the NetSys 2015 demonstration session: chairs(a)netsys2015.com Abstracts are published at the conference web site. Important Dates: ---------------- * Abstract Submission: October 31st, 2014 * Notification of Invitation: November 30th, 2014 * Camera-Ready Submission: December 10th, 2014 General Chairs: --------------- H.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: EWSN 2015 Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 08:48:14 +1000 Von: simonduq(a)sics.se An: tci-announce(a)COMPUTER.ORG ***************************************************** EWSN 2015 12th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks 9-11 February 2015, Porto, Portugal http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/ewsn2015/ ***************************************************** The European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focused on publishing premier research results pertaining to networked sensing, broadly defined. The organizers of EWSN 2015, the twelfth meeting in this series, are pleased to announce an updated scope that combines the traditional focus of this conference with emphasis on recent and emerging directions in networked sensing. These new and emerging directions include (i) study of networked sensing in the broader context of larger cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things architectures, (ii) investigation of mobile and human-centric sensing, (iii) exploration of large-scale data and information processing challenges. -------------------------------- CfP Highlights -------------------------------- * Extended Scope EWSN 2015 will feature an updated scope, combining the traditional focus of this conference with emphasis on recent and emerging directions in networked sensing. * Updated Topics on Emerging Directions In line with the extended scope, we are soliciting contributions to new and emerging directions, such as: Human-centric sensing (e.g. crowd-sourcing/crowd-sensing, mobile sensing) or big (sensor) data challenges (e.g. large-scale information processing, analysis of sensor data). * New Additional Paper Format EWSN 2015 will introduce a smaller paper format for validated early ideas that can be described by a more concise contribution. Therefore, we solicit two types of original submissions for oral presentation: full papers (16-pages) and short papers (8 pages). -------------------------------- Topics of Interest -------------------------------- EWSN 2015 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) that fall broadly in the following topics: * Wireless sensor networks and protocols: -Communication and network protocols -Information and signal processing -Software engineering for wireless sensor networks -Programming abstractions and tools -Hardware design and implementation -Sensor network operating systems and resource management -Cognitive sensor networks * Sensor network applications and services: -Sensing in cyber-physical systems -Internet of Things -Cooperative object architectures -Novel uses of sensor data, including healthcare, body area networks, vehicular applications, and smart buildings -Localization and tracking services -Security and fault tolerance -Sensor network middleware -Models, systems, and experiences with humans as sensors * Human-centric sensing: -Crowd-sourcing/crowd-sensing challenges -Mobile sensing -Smart phone sensing applications -Opportunistic, participatory, and social sensing * Big (sensor) data challenges: -Large-scale information processing, learning, mining, and analysis of sensor data -Challenges in sensor data stream processing -Networked data fusion challenges -Prototypes, testbeds, field experiments -------------------------------- Paper Submission -------------------------------- This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process. Conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). Submissions should have a maximum of 16 pages (full papers) or 8 pages (short papers), including text, figures and references, and conform to the LNCS style (http://www.springer.com/lncs). -------------------------------- Important dates -------------------------------- Paper registration: 8-Sep-2014 Paper submission: 15-Sep-2014 Paper notification: 16-Nov-2014 Camera ready: 7-Dec-2014 -------------------------------- Chairs and Organizers -------------------------------- General Chair Eduardo Tovar (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) Program Co-Chairs Tarek Abdelzaher (UIUC, USA) Nuno Pereira (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) Publicity Co-Chairs Simon Duquennoy (SICS, Sweden) Anis Koubaa (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) Industry and Sponsor Co-Chairs LuÃs Ferreira (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) Martin Kubisch (Airbus Group, Germany) Demo/Poster Co-Chairs Vlado Handziski (TU Berlin, Germany) Raja Jurdak (CSIRO, Autralia) Ricardo Severino (CISTER/ISEP) Local Chair Filipe Pacheco (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) Web and Social Media Chair Vikram Gupta (CISTER/ISEP, Portugal) -------------------------------- Technical Program Committee -------------------------------- Adam Wolicz, TU Berlin Alberto Cerpa, UC Merced Amy Murphy Bruno, Kessler Foundation, Italy Andrew Markham, Univ of Oxford Bhaskar Krishnamachari, Univ.
