Accepted manuscripts will be published without waiting for later submissions.]* ================= MDPI Drones (ISSN 2504-446X), https://www.mdpi.com/journal/drones Special Issue on *Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Assisted Cooperative Air and Ground Communications* *=================* *Dear Colleagues and Friends,*We are pleased to announce the new Special Issue on the topic of "Cooperative Air and Ground Communications". https://www.mdpi.com/journal/drones/special_issues/UAVCommunication ================= *Call for Papers* Drones, or what is commonly known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), could be involved in a wide range of applications, spanning from the agricultural domain, disaster management, and on-demand emergency communications, to environmental monitoring, 3D mapping, and remote sensing. With the recent advent of beyond 5G (B5G) and upcoming 6G networks, UAVs have seen impressive growth of demand from researchers, practitioners, and investors in multidisciplinary fields, particularly in relation to the design of alternative UAV-assisted solutions to handle the different constraints encountered in traditional protocols, applications, and systems. For instance, UAVs could be deployed as relays to bridge communication gaps of terrestrial networks witnessing instability on data transmission, such as base stations, to extend the coverage and performance of 5G/B5G terrestrial cellular networks, and as data collectors to gather information from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, the assistance of UAVs to such systems and applications always raises a lot of exciting new challenges in terms of energy consumption, positioning and trajectory optimization, communications, and security, just to name a few. From the B5G point of view, the current UAV assistance paradigms should also be revised to explicitly consider different features, such as computing, network management, intelligent decisions, and energy efficiency. The potential of the UAV assistance paradigm paves a path towards many advantages, including flexibility of deployment, reduced risk of dangerous environments, agility in missions, and efficiency in communications. However, various open challenges are still to be tackled to ensure its correct deployment. This Special Issue (SI) targets novel scientific ideas, schemes, results, possible applications, and new challenges and perspectives devoted to the UAV assistance paradigm and everything around UAV networks. The particular topics of interest for this SI include but are not limited to: 1. Networking solutions for UAV-assisted communications. 2. Cloud, fog, and edge computing architecture for UAV-assisted systems. 3. SDN and NFV for UAV communications. 4. Positioning and trajectory optimization for UAV-assisted systems. 5. Machine learning algorithms for UAV-assisted systems. 6. UAV-to-everything (U2X). 7. Testbed and validation for UAV-assisted systems. 8. Energy efficiency in UAV-assisted applications. 9. Energy harvesting in UAV-assisted systems. 10. Mobile edge computing in UAV-assisted systems. 11. NDN in UAV-assisted systems. 12. Data gathering in UAV-assisted networks. 13. Security, trust, and privacy in UAV-assisted networks. 14. UAV–UGV coordination. 15. UAV–IoT networks. 16. UAV-enabled smart city. 17. UAV-assisted VANETs, MANETs, WSNs, and cellular networks. * Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 November 2021 * * [Earlier submissions will be handled as they come. Accepted manuscripts will be published without waiting for later submissions.] * Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. We are looking forward to hearing from you. *Guest Editors: * Prof. Abderrahmane Lakas, United Arab Emirates University, UAE. Prof. Mohammed Atiquzzaman, University of Oklahoma, USA.

Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution, or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of Things (IoT) context. Appropriate resource management, applications design, and architectural networking paradigms are necessary to provide users with high quality experience in multimedia communication and services. Edge computing and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected devices and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications requested by end-users. At the same time, the interoperability among IoT environments (including wearable computing and sensors), the network edge, and the cloud are leading towards an edge-cloud continuum that is expected to support a more efficiently diverse range of application domains and services. In this context, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding the behavior of such complex systems is of paramount importance. IEEE WoWMoM 2022 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments. SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST 5G/6G networks for mobile and multimedia services AI-assisted and data-driven networking in wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Authentication, authorization, accounting for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Behavior-aware human-centric multimedia networks Communication technologies and services for MTC Connected vehicles: networking issues and services Content-centric architectures for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Context-awareness in wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Dependability and survivability issues for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks IoT-edge-cloud continuum for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking and services Energy efficiency for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) multimedia networks Internet/Web of Things Localization, tracking, and mobility management and services Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks Mobile big data networking and services Mobile social networks Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Network traffic characterization and measurements Participatory, mobile, and urban sensing Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) enabled multimedia networks Resource management and QoS/QoE provisioning Satellite and hybrid satellite-terrestrial networking Seamless inter-networking and self-organization Software-Defined Networking, Network Function Virtualization, and slicing for wireless and mobile networks System prototypes, measurements, real-world deployment, and experiences Trust and privacy issues for wireless, mobile, and multimedia networks Virtual mobile infrastructure Wearable Computing Wireless multimedia systems, services, and applications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be made electronically through EDAS (register your paper now!). Authors can submit regular or work-in-progress papers (appropriate category to be selected upon submission). REGULAR PAPERS Regular papers submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 points or greater. WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research and to obtain feedback from their peers in a poster session. Work-in-progress papers submissions may be up to 4 pages in length (including figures and references) and must have a prefix "WIP:" in the paper's title. IMPORTANT DATES (main conference) Paper submission deadline (main conference): December 15, 2021 Notification deadline: March 15, 2022 Paper camera-ready deadline: April 15, 2022 ACCEPTED PAPERS An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate, and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference, unless a written request before the conference for a substitute presenter with compelling reasons is sent to the TPC Co-Chairs and permission is granted. Accepted papers (both regular and WIP) will be included in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2022 and will be made available through the IEEE Xplore digital library. All conference proceedings must meet IEEE's quality standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings that do not meet these standards. Furthermore, IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference, for unjustified reasons. JOURNAL FAST TRACK Extended versions of selected papers from IEEE WoWMoM 2022 will be invited for possible publication in the Elsevier journals: Computer Communications (Impact factor 3.167), and Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact factor 3.453). AWARDS All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. A committee will select the three best paper candidates based on the reviews received. The winner will also be decided based on the quality of the presentation and announced during the conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] The 1st International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) within PerCom2022 Datum: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 12:51:43 +0300 Von: Ella Peltonen <ella.peltonen(a)INSIGHT-CENTRE.ORG> Antwort an: Ella Peltonen <ella.peltonen(a)INSIGHT-CENTRE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG First International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) to be hosted together with PerCom 2022! Not all research leads to fruitful results, trying new ways or methods may surpass the state of the art, but sometimes the hypothesis is not proven or the improvement is insignificant. But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing. While the direct outcome of negative results might not contribute much to the field, the wisdom of hindsight could be a contribution itself, such that other researchers could avoid falling into similar pitfalls. We consider negative results to be studies that are run correctly (in the light of the current state of the art) and in good practice, but fail in terms of proving of the hypothesis or come up with no significance. The “badness” of the work can also come out as a properly but unfittingly designed data collection, or (non-trivial) lapses of hindsight especially in measurement studies. Please consider submitting your max 6 page paper (but also shorter are considered by November 14, 2021.
