-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline EXTENDED: August 31, 2021) Datum: Mon, 24 May 2021 19:57:55 +0200 Von: Anna Kobusińska <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> Antwort an: Anna Kobusińska <Anna.Kobusinska(a)CS.PUT.POZNAN.PL> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-AUGUST-2021 (EXTENDED) Acceptance deadline: 31-JANUARY-2022 (EXTENDED) Publication: EARLY 2022 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Papers will be peer-reviewed by independent reviewers and selected based on originality, scientific quality, and relevance to this Special Issue. The Guest Editors will make final decisions about the acceptance of the papers. Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the Guide for Authors available from the online submission page of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. *GUEST EDITORS* Andrzej Goscinski Deakin University, Australia andrzej.goscinski(a)deakin.edu.au Flavia C.

Distributed WPT-enabled devices can be powered by harvesting energy from the surroundings (for example electromagnetic energy), leading to a novel communication systems networks paradigm, the Wirelessly Powered Systems and Networks. The WPSN workshop aims at providing an interdisciplinary reference forum focusing on the use of WPT as an enabler for improving the efficiency of current distributed communication systems and networks. Therefore, both tools and techniques to design (or improve) relevant distributed operations using WPT, as well as results from the analysis of data obtained through this enabler, are welcome in the workshop. > > WPSN aims at engaging researchers working on WPT-enabled networking protocols, algorithms and optimization; WPT-enabled communication methods, tools and techniques; Far-/near-field WPT technologies for networks and communications. > > * Important Note: * > - An extended version of the best WPSN 2021 paper will be invited to appear in a Special Issue of the MDPI Sensors journal (JCR/SJR Q1), without publication fees. > - Accepted and presented papers will appear in IEEE Xplore and all major publication indexes (WoS, Scopus, etc). > > **** Tutorial Session **** > Title: Wireless Powered Communications: A New Communication Paradigm > Instructors: Ioannis Krikidis, Constantinos Psomas (University of Cyprus, Cyprus) > > **** Topics of interest (not limited to) **** > > - Scheduling algorithms in wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks > - Integration of WPT in Aerial (UAV) Networks > - Optimization and approximation algorithms (mobility/energy/data management) > - Joint operation scheduling (routing, data gathering, ambient harvesting) > - Precise algorithmic models and efficient distributed protocols > - Algorithms for WPT devices deployment > - Energy trading and economy models among peers > - Transiently-powered networking protocols for the Internet of batteryless and energy harvesting things > - Intermittent computing support for wirelessly powered systems > - Safety provisioning through EM radiation control algorithms > - Peer-to-peer and crowd charging algorithms (e.g., mobile social networks, sensor networks) > - Far-field WPT for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks and 5G > - Algorithms for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) > - WPT for medical implants and wearable devices > - WPT for automotive technology and electric vehicles (Dynamic wireless charging, Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)) > - WPT for mobile communications, wireless sensor networks and UAVs > - WPT for home/Industrial appliances > - Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers > - RF energy harvesting, rectennas and rectenna arrays > - High-frequency rectifying circuits, power transmitters and devices > - Near-field (inductive, resonant) energy transfer > - Microwave transmission and beaming > - Novel materials, fabrication techniques > - Energy storage elements, RFID-related electronics and self-powered sensors > - Measurement and characterization approaches for WPT components > - Standardization, regulations and biological effects > - Privacy and security in WPT based energy sharing networks > > **** Submission Instructions **** > > The manuscripts must be prepared in English, following the IEEE two-column Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html) with a maximum length of eight (8) printed pages including text, figures, and references.
