-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call For Papers - IEEE ICC 2022 Workshop on Synergies of communication, localization, and sensing towards 6G Datum: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 16:28:48 +0000 Von: Henk Wymeersch <henkw(a)CHALMERS.SE> Antwort an: Henk Wymeersch <henkw(a)CHALMERS.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies for cross-posting 1st Call For Papers IEEE ICC 2022 Workshop on Synergies of communication, localization, and sensing towards 6G Scope Research on 6G is now well underway and several large initiatives have been launched around the globe to define what this new generation of wireless networks will be. These definitions are supported by a wide variety of technological enablers, ranging from access in the THz spectrum, which bring massive bandwidths and laser-like beamforming capabilities, to the introduction of new antenna technologies and intelligent metasurfaces, which provide massive apertures and new ways of shaping the propagation medium. Due to the wide variety of envisioned use cases, 6G will not lead to a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather inspire a rich diversity in terms of devices, spectrum usage, and technologies. Common among many emerging services in need of 6G is the requirement for localization and sensing to be an integral part of 6G. The ability of 6G to locate and track active users as well as passive objects will be part of the core communications functionality and will enable and enrich a wide variety of futuristic services, including immersive augmented reality, robot collaboration, and environment/earth monitoring. These services will lead to a more inclusive and sustainable 6G ecosystem. The overarching vision of this workshop is that the synergies among localization, sensing, and communications within the 6G ecosystem require a common venue, not focusing on any specific technological enabler, but rather support a broad and diverse set of viewpoints, including those from industry (telecom and radar industries) and academia (communications, signal processing, and circuits communities). Topics We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Use cases and applications of communication, localization, and sensing in a 6G context · 6G communication, localization, and sensing in the millimeter-wave and THz bands · Location-based network management and analytics · Communication, localization, and sensing with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces · Full duplex schemes for simultaneous communication and localization and/or sensing · Air interface and waveform design for integrated communication, localization, and sensing · Protocols for integrated communication, localization, and sensing · Signal processing techniques (including machine learning, AI, and beamspace processing) for integrated communications, localization, and sensing · Modeling of hardware, antennas, channels or propagation for joint communication and sensing · Localization and sensing at different frequency bands · Coexistence, coordination, and cooperation between radar and communication in 6G · Communication and positioning with energy-neutral devices and massive IoT · Energy-efficient, scalable (network and/or transceiver hardware) architectures and strategies for joint communication and sensing · Location-aware ultra-reliable communications · Context-aware localization systems · THz imaging, positioning/localization, THz spectroscopy in 6G General Co-chairs · Henk Wymeersch, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden · Stefania Bartoletti, CNR and CNIT, Italy · Liesbet Van der Perre, KU Leuven, Belgium · Angeliki Alexiou, University of Piraeus, Greece · George C. Alexandropoulos, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece Important Dates Paper submission deadline: January 20, 2022 Notification of acceptance: March 06, 2022 Camera-ready papers: March 15, 2022 For more information, please see the IEEE ICC 2022 official website: https://icc2022.ieee-icc.org/authors.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Kapal Dev <kapal.dev(a)IEEE.ORG> Gesendet: 6. Oktober 2021 22:46:44 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] - IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking *** Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** Dear colleagues, You are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to *IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking, * *Special Issue on Green Communication and Networking for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles* With the advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and communication technologies (5G beyond/6G), Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) is eventually being realized and will make a major contribution to the development of smart mobility systems in the pursuit of green and sustainable economies. Cooperative driving features allowed by CAVs will dramatically reduce CO2 emissions, allowing for more environmentally friendly intelligent, smart and sustainable transportation. More sophisticated green communication and networking computation technologies are needed for CAVs environments due to the heterogeneity of networking organizations, strict implementation specifications, and restricted resources. Future CAVs networks would have a greater range of sensors and multi-access edge settings, allowing for more effective use of various modes of frequency spectrum. Simultaneously, novel services reduced travel time, cooperative autonomous driving, reduced maintenance and infrastructure costs, improved energy efficiency, etc. all require unparalleled high precision and reliability, ultra-low latency, and wide bandwidth. Even though Green communication for CAVs is a potential disruptive research direction that can revolutionize the typical transportation system, it is not being fully realized as several challenges in CAVs are yet to be addressed. Some of the critical challenges in the realization of CAVs are data storage, privacy and security issues, energy optimization of the IoT sensors in the vehicles, regulatory uncertainties, real time analytics of the big data generated from CAVs, etc. This Special Issue solicits high-quality research works from researchers from academia and industry to propose innovative ideas to address the issue of energy optimization in CAV networks. Theoretical, experimental studies, and case studies on energy optimization/green communication in CAV are welcome. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Resource Optimization for green communication and networking in CAVs - Machine, federated, Transfer and deep learning-based models for green communication and networking in CAVs - Edge assisted green communication and networking for CAVs - Edge AI for green communication and networking for CAVs - Digital Twin for green communication and networking for CAVs - Intent-based Networking for green communication and networking for CAVs - Applications of meta-heuristic algorithms for green communication and networking in CAV - Energy optimization for 5G and beyond enabled CAVs - Blockchain/Smart Contracts for energy optimization in CAV - Efficient routing protocols for energy optimization in CAVs - Test beds for green communication systems for CAVs - SDN, VNF, NS for green communication systems for CAVs - Optimization techniques (Harris Hawk, search and rescue, etc.) for green communication systems for CAVs *Submission Guidelines* Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at the IEEE TGCN Information for Authors <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/information-authors> page.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP - IEEE/IFIP WONS 2022 @ Oppdal, Norway Datum: Tue, 5 Oct 2021 08:45:46 +0000 Von: Peyman Teymoori <peymant(a)IFI.UIO.NO> Antwort an: Peyman Teymoori <peymant(a)IFI.UIO.NO> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this email.] Dear Colleagues, 17th IEEE/IFIP Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference (WONS) will be held on 30 March - 1 April 2022, in Oppdal, Norway. Please see the Call for Papers below and consider submitting your novel research papers. The paper submission deadline is Nov 19, 2021. 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. This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems; from protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, application use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network technologies. Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to: 5G and 6G networks Cognitive radio networks Cross-layer design Data analytics and ML/AI driven network systems Green wireless networks Heterogeneous wireless networks Implementations and testbeds Internet of Things Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems Localization and mobility management Middleware aspects Mobile computing and services Network and service management Novel architectures and protocols Novel applications and services Open source software, open source hardware and open data Performance evaluation through simulations, emulations and real-world experiments Pervasive and ubiquitous computing Quantum computing and networking Security, privacy, and trust Social and economic aspects Theoretical and data driven modeling and optimization Vehicular networks WONS 2022 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IFIP TC6 and the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC). Accepted and presented papers will appear in the conference proceedings published in the IFIP Open Access Digital Library and the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. REVIEW PROCESS We will have at least 3 reviews per paper and we count on the TPC members to do the reviews themselves in order to ensure high quality and comprehensive reviews. After the reviews, TPC members will discuss the paper and will reach one of the following decisions: ‘Accept’, ‘Revise’ or ‘Reject’. The papers in the ‘Revise’ category will be assigned a shepherd. The shepherd will oversee the revision process (which will take around 3-4 weeks) and ultimately decide on whether the paper will be accepted or not. We will assign the shepherds among the program committee on a voluntary basis. With the introduction of the shepherding to the review process this year, our goal is to further improve the paper quality at WONS’22. IMPORTANT DATES Paper registration: Nov 12, 2021 Paper submission: Nov 19, 2021 Acceptance notification: Jan 17, 2022 Camera ready: Feb 25, 2022 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

May 3-6, 2022 - Milan, Italy https://conferences.computer.org/iotDI/2022/ Call for papers The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2022, IoTDI will be held for the seventh time, and will be part of CPS-IoT WEEK 2022 (https://cpsiotweek.neslab.it) being held in Milan, Italy. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. AI/ML technology promise unprecedented levels of automation in system operation and data processing. Smart cities grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources, together with machine intelligence algorithms that extract value for applications. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social media are becoming ubiquitous, offering additional information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring. Collectively, these developments lead to the emergence of a new multi-disciplinary field, where the networking and physical realms meet, often in social spaces. It is the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). This conference is an interdisciplinary forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss challenges, technologies, and emerging directions in IoT system design and implementation. This conference invites original, previously unpublished work on a range of IoT topics, broadly defined. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Analytic foundations and theory of IoT . Reliability, security, timeliness, and robustness in IoT systems . Machine intelligence for IoT systems and applications . Social applications and social data analytics for IoT . Novel protocols and network abstractions . Data streaming architectures and AI/ML analytics for IoT . IoT-motivated cyber-physical and Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems . Novel quality requirements and their enforcement mechanisms . Cloud back-ends and resource management for IoT applications . Edge and fog computing . Personal, wearable, and other embedded networked front-ends . Social computing and human-in-the-loop issues . Applications domains (e.g., smart cities, smart health, smart buildings, smart transportation) . Deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned . Evaluation and testbeds . Energy/Power Management and Harvesting for IoT Platforms For papers reporting results based on experiments with human subjects, appropriate ethics approvals should be demonstrated as part of the submission. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements. IoTDI collaborates closely with the IPSN conference, given the proximity in research themes (both related to IoT) and the co-location in CPS-IoT Week. We provide submission guidelines (https://ipsn.acm.org/joint_statement_IoTDI.html) to aid prospective authors with the conference venue selection. In the meantime, we would like to make explicit that double submission remains prohibited under the publisher's policy of Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. In 2022 and to foster a closer joint-community, we would invite quality submissions to one venue for publication at the other, in case we find fit and the authors agree Paper Submission Please submit your paper to IoTDI 2022 here: https://iotdi22.hotcrp.com ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

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…> .

December 6-9, 2021 Datum: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 13:45:13 -0400 Von: Stanley Ewenike <stanley.ewenike92(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Stanley Ewenike <stanley.ewenike92(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 7th International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2021) <http://emergingtechnet.org/IOTNAT2021/index.php> in conjunction with The 6th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2021) <http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2021/index.php> Gandia, Spain. December 6-9, 2021 *IoTNAT 2021 CFP* The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ‘things’ to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond today’s offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2021. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2021. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things: Networking Applications and Technologies (IoTNAT 2021) Symposium will be held in conjunction with The Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2021).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Access Special Issue - Internet of Space: Networking Architectures and Protocols to Support Space-Based Internet Services Datum: Mon, 27 Sep 2021 14:30:22 +0000 Von: Tomaso de Cola <Tomaso.deCola(a)DLR.DE> Antwort an: Tomaso.deCola(a)DLR.DE An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG (apologize for cross-posting) IEEE Access Special Issue - Internet of Space: Networking Architectures and Protocols to Support Space-Based Internet Services Submission Deadline: 30 November 2021 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Internet of Space: Networking Architectures and Protocols to Support Space-Based Internet Services. This Special Section is focused on the most recent scientific research and insights on the evolution of communication architectures and protocols for an Internet of Space, able to boost the creation of a truly global Internet by means of the integration of the current Internet with a new Internet of Space. Such evolution is expected to have a significant impact on several markets such as IoT/Industrial IoT, Mobile services, Industry 4.0, Government enterprise, and Connected mobility. The section shall cover work focused on aspects such as how to support the operation of Tier-1, Tier-2 or even Tier-3 airborne/spaceborne networks; how to address interoperability, within and across different protocol layers in the network architecture, leveraging cross-layer design; and finally how to design a more unified next generation Internet architecture able to transparently include spaceborne and airborne platforms in a way that allows for user-centric services, and a smooth operation of transient networks. However, an original and competent Internet of Space, calls for the definition of a networking framework able to accommodate specific properties of dynamic systems, including heterogeneous physical layers, frequent changes in network topology, high propagation delays, and intermittent connectivity. The dominant success factor for such a networking framework is low-cost bandwidth, although its capability to support low latency and high-throughput services plays an important role. Secondly, a global Internet is only possible with a transparent integration of an Internet of Space with the current Internet, while supporting multi-tenants, multi-systems in different orbits and altitudes, as well as multiple markets. Such an integration requires rethinking the Internet architecture in order to extend its operation to all systems above the Earth's surface, which requires the integration of heterogeneous communication devices and protocols. Such a unifying networking framework will have a truly global reach, allowing the connection between information producers and consumers in any corner of Earth and Space. Last but not least, the seamless integration of an Internet of Space with the current Internet will lead to a global empowerment, providing information access to everyone who may need it to sustain enriched human life, while mitigating some of the major limitations of a network infrastructure that is built on Earth's surface, which is subjected not only to geographic limits but also to political limits. >From a technical perspective this Special Section is focused on the design and performance evaluation of networking architectures and protocols for the Internet of Space, as well as on a more unified design that best deals with the networking challenges to be faced. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network architectures, able to support multi-tenants, multi-systems in different orbits and altitudes, as well as multiple markets, while being transparently integrated in the current Internet architecture. Such new, unifying, network architecture may require the exploitation of paradigms such as Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN), and Information Centric Networking (ICN). * Network virtualization, leveraging well-known technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), as well as their integration with the emerging concept of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), allowing the virtualization of networking, storage and computing fabrics at the edge, required for the offloading of tasks that have latency constraints from the core to the edge. * Decentralized Internet Infrastructure, allowing a scalable Internetworking between computing processes and service hosted at the network edge (including flying platforms and spaceborne platforms, such as smart satellite constellations), leading to an end-to-end latency reduction due to user proximity, as well as a reduction of network traffic through traffic localization and device-to-device communications. * Network management, such as support for the global orchestration of network functions on board spaceborne platforms (e.g., satellites) to best support data processing and aggregation; seamless interoperation of mobile Edge infrastructure and devices; resilience and seamless adaptation based on the capability to anticipate the behavior of services on a global scale. * Cognitive networking, in which programmable spaceborne networks allow networked devices to perform customized computation, including the usage of Artificial Intelligence. Such cognitive functions will be exploited to develop more intelligent, adaptive networks, able to perceive network conditions, decide upon those conditions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. * Networking protocols, including support for inter-satellite communications, and satellite to ground communications, Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE), integrated security, and mobility, and their integration with existing protocols such as IP routing (e.g. segment routing), transport protocols from the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC), and application protocols such as Domain Name Service (DNS). * Wireless technologies, including not only the usage of radio frequency systems but also free space optical systems, and a combination of both. * Network measurement & performance, to assist in understanding and exposing the performance of spaceborne networking resources, infrastructure, and available communication protocols in a variety of ground-to-space, inter-satellite communication scenarios. * Privacy, security and trustworthiness, assuming end-to-end scenarios involving satellites with computational and storage capabilities, and covering aspects such as data security, decentralized trust architectures. * Impact on Internet services, such as advanced IoT services (e.g., Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality in manufacturing or farming) served by spaceborne platforms and spaceborne communications; real-time IoT applications (e.g., critical monitoring of public infrastructures); awareness services (e.g., public safety services). * Impact on data management aspects, including the support of the next generation of Edge computing in space, as well as a fast cooperation between a large set of Edge-based producers of data. We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility and downloads of articles. Associate Editor: Rute C.
