Building on the past 18 years of success, the 19th edition will be held in Linz, Austria. The conference continues its aim for broad, world-wide impact. Proceedings will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library, SCOPUS, and other prominent digital libraries. *** Topics of Interest *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Communication and networking for wireless, embedded and cognitive systems - Operating systems, middleware, and services - Processing, storage, and management of data - Communication and programming paradigms, languages and tools - Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety) in wireless systems - Neuromorphic communication networks and computing architectures - Wireless system time and location management - AI operated wireless sensing, actuation and control systems - Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools for wireless AI systems and applications - Machine learning and data mining for wireless sensor systems - Services and wireless networking for Cyber-Physical Systems and IoT - Next generation wireless networks, 6G - Privacy and security in applications and systems - Human-centric interaction with wireless and embedded AI systems - Experiences, challenges, comparisons of embedded AI platforms - Applications of wireless embedded AI in health, automation, manufacturing, transportation - Embedded algorithms and systems for computational perception, vision, speech, haptics - Empirical studies, measurement, validation, deployment, experiences - Sustainability and Green Tech (low-power, harvesting, energy management) - Applications and problems from developing countries and emerging markets *** Featured Topic: Unconventional Communication *** Embedded wireless systems undergo continuous evolution, which requires a scientific discourse of relevant trends, such as the emerging topic of embedded systems for 6G. "Unconventional Communication" triggers questions for new PHY layers from visual light communication to molecular or microfluidic sensor communication systems for the Internet of Nano- or BioNanoThings. In addition, it challenges higher layers of communications, including embedded systems that incorporate embedded AI for autonomy, safety, resilience, fault- and exception-managing, and being self-reflective, i.e., networked things that act and react in real-time. Moreover, "unconventional" means also to discuss inspiring methods from information theory and complex systems and the far-reaching question of how embedded wireless systems affect compliance with the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The impact on climate change, cheap technology for developing societies, beneficial to health and overall development can be supported by responsible and inclusive embedded wireless systems to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and removal of barriers with different disabilities. *** Submission Instructions *** Submissions to EWSN'22 must be original (i.e., not previously published) and not currently under review by any other conference or journal. EWSN 2022 will adopt a double-blind review process. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions to ensure that their identities are not disclosed to reviewers and reviewers are discouraged from actively working to uncover author identities. To promote early dissemination, submission to arXiv (or similar) is allowed, provided cross-citations are not made.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Computer Communications SI on Intelligent Wireless Networking, Sensing, and Communications Datum: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:01:58 -0500 Von: Rui Jin <ruij.zui(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Rui Jin <ruij.zui(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/s… Computer Communications (Elsevier) Special Issue on Intelligent Wireless Networking, Sensing, and Communications Heterogenous modern smart devices are penetrating various aspects of people’s work and life. Cisco estimates that the total number of global mobile subscribers will reach 5.7 billion while nearly 300 million mobile applications will be downloaded by 2023. The increasing number of smart devices and the emerging diverse applications brings forward an inevitable need for highly efficient processing and operation of wireless networking, sensing, and communications. To realize this vision, a promising approach is to integrate machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) into the design, planning, and optimization of wireless communication networks. ML enables deep mining of valuable knowledge from network data and automatically discovers latent relations that are difficult to extract by human experts. Popular ML techniques such as Deep learning (DL) and Reinforcement Learning have achieved remarkable performance for complex real-world problems in various areas such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, gaming, and robotics. Consequently, the emerging ML methods provide enormous research opportunities to enable intelligent wireless communication, sensing, and networking by addressing key problems including signal processing, network optimization, resource management, routing, network protocol design, user behaviour analysis, etc. The objective of this special issue is to assemble high-quality research papers on emerging theories, frameworks, architectures and algorithms for solving the challenging problems related to intelligent wireless networking, sensing, and communications. In addition to papers from open call, the substantially extended works of selected excellent papers from the 17th International Conference on Mobility, Sensing and Networking (MSN-2021) will be recommended to this special issue. It will offer an open platform for scholars and engineers to exchange their recent novel ideas and explore the potential convergence of existing wireless networking, sensing, and communication systems and advanced ML and AI technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: • Intelligent resource and network management • Distributed machine learning algorithms and implementations over wireless communication networks • Machine learning and AI for anomaly detection • Machine learning and AI for PHY layer design and implementation • Intelligent drone systems and vehicular networks • Machine learning and AI for application behaviour prediction and user experience modelling and optimization • Machine learning and AI for transport-layer congestion control • Intelligent network virtualization and software defined networking • Machine learning and AI for wireless sensing and networking • Performance evaluation in wireless communication systems Important Deadlines: • Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15 Feb 2022 • Authors Notification Date: 15 April 2022 • Revised Papers Due Date: 15, June 2022 • Final notification Date: 15, July 2022 Guest Editors: - Jia Hu, University of Exeter, UK, (Lead Guest Editor) - Miguel López-Benítez, University of Liverpool, UK - Geyong Min, University of Exeter, UK - Lei Yang, University of Nevada, Reno, USA ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics -- Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems Datum: Sat, 20 Nov 2021 13:30:15 +0100 Von: Alessandro Brighente <brighent(a)DEI.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: Alessandro Brighente <brighent(a)DEI.UNIPD.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) *Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics* *Special Section on Cyber-Physical Threats and Solutions for Autonomous Transportation Systems* Theme: The rapid evolution of technology has radically changed our everyday lives from multiple points of view. Among the others, transportation systems are nowadays populated by smart and interconnected vehicles that need to communicate with each other and with critical infrastructures to orchestrate traffic and mobility. Transportation systems are hence operated through multiple technologies that need to cooperate to provide efficient delivery of goods and human mobility, as well as to provide security in the overall networks. The latter task is complicated by the fact that vehicles autonomously drive and cooperate in the network without human intervention. The overall transportation network can be therefore represented by a cyber-physical system, where a large number of sensors, actuators, and multiple technologies are connected and exchange information. To guarantee the overall network security, attack detection and the design of suitable countermeasures play a fundamental role. The security of cyber-physical systems has been widely studied in literature. However, most of the proposed solutions target either the cyber or the physical threats, without providing a unified view able to detect and mitigate more complicated attacks. The purpose of this special issue is therefore to collect the latest research achievements in the cyber-physical threats and countermeasures in autonomous transportation systems. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Methods for detection of cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Design of countermeasures for cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Hardware solutions for mitigating the attacks on controller area networks of automotive - Protocol and semantics agnostic security solutions to automotive CPS - Formal modeling of cyber-physical attacks in transportation systems - Privacy preserving solutions for cyber-physical transportation systems - Cyber-physical threats in platoons/swarms - Scalability of the security solutions in autonomous transportation systems - Blockchain solutions against cyber-physical threats in autonomous transportation systems - Security testing of vulnerabilities in automotive CPS *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in theIEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieeeies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics <https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieeeie…> . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through ManuscriptCentral web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii <https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmc.manusc…> .

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM SIGCOMM 2022] CFP: ACM SIGCOMM 2022 - paper registration/submission Jan 26/Feb 2, 2022 Datum: Thu, 18 Nov 2021 14:21:12 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM SIGCOMM 2022 August 22-26, 2022 Amsterdam, the Netherlands https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2022/ ***Important dates*** * Jan 26, 2022, 23:59 UTC -- Abstract registration deadline * Feb 2, 2022, 23:59 UTC -- Paper submission deadline * April 14/May 7, 2022 - Early/Notification date ***Call for Papers*** The ACM SIGCOMM 2022 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking research, which includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: * All types of computer networks such as mobile, wide-area, data-center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks. * All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, radio, and acoustic and visible light-based communication. * All aspects of networks and networked systems such as architecture, packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics, evolution, and interactions with applications. * All types of computer network design, analysis, and experimental approaches such as theory, measurements, and machine learning-based techniques. SIGCOMM 2022 will accept submissions in two tracks. In the regular research track, papers should significantly advance the state-of-the-art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or rigorously (re-)evaluating existing ideas. The review process will take the nature of the contribution into account. We strongly encourage authors to discuss not only the benefits but also the limitations of their work. In the experience track, submissions should describe the design, analysis, and evaluation of techniques in commercial or otherwise widely-used deployment. Experience track submissions need not describe new ideas, but are strongly encouraged to elucidate key insights and takeaways gathered from design, deployment, or operational experience. The PC will evaluate these submissions with the understanding that the primary contributions may be in extending the SIGCOMM community's knowledge of how known techniques fare when adapted to real-world settings, and particularly in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate, for reasons of scale or otherwise. All submissions must be double-blind (not revealing author names), but due to the nature of experience track submissions, they may reveal the company or system name. At paper registration time, authors must explicitly indicate both in their paper title and submission form if their paper is preferred to be considered for the experience or regular research track. Each submission will only be considered for the one track identified at submission time. The final conference program will not preserve the distinction between the two tracks. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2022 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. ***Submissions*** Papers submitted to SIGCOMM typically report novel results firmly substantiated by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. The program committee will judge submissions based upon novelty, significance, correctness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the SIGCOMM community. Submissions should be in two-column, 10-point format, and can be up to 12 pages in length with as many additional pages as necessary for references and optional appendices. Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, not counting against the 12 pages). Reviewers are not required to read appendices or consider them in their review. Authors should thus ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, and code, all appropriately anonymized. The review process will involve two rounds. Papers that are not selected to proceed after the first round will receive early notification, including reviews. All accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee to ensure the committee's feedback is appropriately addressed. The shepherd will also review appendices and must approve their necessity. For accepted papers, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Detailed submission instructions can be found here --> https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2022/submission.html Submission site: https://sigcomm2022.hotcrp.com ***Artifact Evaluation for Accepted Papers*** The authors of accepted SIGCOMM 2022 papers will be invited to submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by a separate committee that will assess how well the submitted artifacts support the work described in the accepted papers. Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and has no influence on the paper's acceptance, but is strongly encouraged. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive badges printed on the papers themselves. Additional details on the Artifact Evaluation process can be found here. ***Public Summaries for Accepted Papers*** The SIGCOMM 2022 program will feature public summaries accompanying each accepted paper. In most cases, the summary will be written by the paper's shepherd and will provide an overview of the problem addressed in the paper and its solution, and highlight interesting future questions that arise. The summary may additionally explain aspects of the paper the reviewers particularly liked. Summaries will be published along with the papers in the ACM Digital Library. ***Ethical Concerns*** All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues; papers that do not include such a statement may be rejected. This could be, if appropriate for the paper, simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc.), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if human subjects are involved or other people are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harm to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report and the ACM ethics policy for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Review Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor and should be mentioned, but the program committee will independently evaluate the ethical soundness of the work just as they evaluate its technical soundness. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the PC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) Datum: Wed, 17 Nov 2021 10:56:07 +0800 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] � =================================================================================== The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) � May 16, 2022, Taormina (Messina), Italy � in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2022 � URL: https://icfec2022.eecis.udel.edu/ =================================================================================== We are delighted to invite you to the 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Taormina (Messina), Italy. � INTRODUCTION The number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is predicted to reach 38.6 billion by 2025. These connected devices, ranging from user devices to more complex systems, such as vehicles and power grids, are equipped with sensing, actuating, communication, processing, and storage capabilities, and they generate huge amounts of data of various types. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous IoT devices while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the IoT devices are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology closer to IoT devices, such as home routers, gateways, or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or to host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as “Fog/Edge computing”. � The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, to allow the usage of opportunistic and cheap computing, and to leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which require the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. New abstractions and extensions to current programming and storage models are necessary to allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven edge systems. Addressing security, privacy, and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context of mobile, transient and hardware-constrained resources. The integration of edge computing and 5G will also bring new opportunities and unique challenges. Enabling machine/deep learning at the edge is critical for many applications. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and smart health need to be supported by fog and edge resources. � � CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: � * Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing * Mobility management in fog/edge computing * Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Programming models for fog/edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing * Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing * Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog * Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments * Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures * Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing � � SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue.

While skiing is optional, the long break in the afternoon has always facilitated the important social aspect of our conference, and we will again plan the program accordingly. Webpage: http://2022.wons-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor networks, cloud networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, and in-body networks. The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. IEEE/IFIP WONS, now numbering seventeen editions, has established itself as a high quality forum to address these and related challenges. WONS’22 is able to continue to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment.
