-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI "Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems" Datum: Thu, 3 Dec 2020 11:42:12 -0800 Von: Mathias Fischer <mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: mathias.fischer(a)IEEE.ORG An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for papers --------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) Special Issue on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems --------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope ----- Several recent developments like the advent of the Internet-of-Things, network softwarization, mission-critical applications, and artificial intelligence have posed challenges for the Internet, and more generally for networks and distributed systems: (1: IoT) The Internet-of-Things will boost the number of Internet nodes well beyond the billions, leads to new traffic patterns (e.g., high-frequency low-volume), and accelerates the other developments described hereafter. (2: SDN++) Softwarization "conquers" the net. What has started with SDN and NFV will continue to lead to more flexibility and enable disruptive change, such as the competitive co-existence of old and new, e.g., content-centric, world-wide networks. As this softwarization significantly increases the complexity of today's networks, new and more security problems will result. Moreover, softwarization comes at a performance price, which is at odds with mission-critical, real-time communication. (3: MCA) Mission-critical applications, formerly confined to dedicated real-time systems and (TSN, industrial Ethernet, ...) networks, are conquering public and wide area networks. This impacts technologies and protocols (such as 5G URLLC) as well as architectures, such as approaches to move cloud functionality closer to the action scene, e.g., via fog and edge computing. (4: AI.net) The resurgence of AI, evoked by stunning successes of machine learning, boosts the need for computing resources that cannot be embedded in myriads of IoT devices and energy-critical handhelds like smartphones. This and the need for joint processing, requires shuffling 'big data' from the action scene to those resources, accelerating the need for offloading approaches and, depending on the application and the distribution of stakeholders, aggravating the three afore-mentioned challenges. These four challenges - abbreviated as IoT, SDN++, MCA, and AI - are densely interwoven, both mutually supporting and mutually aggravating each other. In the TOIT special issue, we bring together contributions to all four challenges and seek to track down their positive and negative interdependencies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: --------------------------------------------------- * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and their application in, and impacts on, networking * Evolution from cloud computing to mobile cloud, fog and edge computing * Consistency, reliability, availability, and programming support for meeting the MCA challenge in networks * Contributions to the four challenges in context of cyber-physical systems * Emerging networked applications * Green and energy-efficient networks and networked systems * Information-centric networking, content distribution and retrieval, and their co-existence with classical networks * Network architectures and protocols * Approaches to the pertinent network security and privacy aspects * Methods for design, implementation, and analysis of networked systems considering the recent challenges and advances * Pertinent middleware architectures and platforms for networked systems * Pertinent concepts for mobile, ad-hoc, opportunistic, vehicular, sensor networks * Advancements to software-defined networking, network function virtualization, and further network softwarization * Reflection of recent challenges in SoA, web services, and mobile services * Advancements in social networks, social computing, data-intensive computing * Novel concepts for tactile and low-latency communication * Transport- and application-layer protocols in response to the four challenges Submission Instructions ----------------------- Please refer to http://toit.acm.org/authors.cfm for submission instructions. Submit your paper at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acm/toit and select the SI “Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems”. However, please be aware that the submission will not be possible until one month before the actual deadline. Important Dates --------------- * Manuscript submission: 31 March 2021 * First notification: 31 June 2021 * Revised version: 31 August 2021 * Final notification: 30 September 2021 * Final paper due: 15 October 2021 * Publication date: To be scheduled 2021/2022 Guest Editors ------------- * Prof. Jörg Liebherr, University of Toronto, Canada * Prof. Mathias Fischer, Universität Hamburg, Germany * Prof. Max Mühlhäuser, TU Darmstadt, Germany * Prof. Winfried Lamersdorf, Universität Hamburg, Germany Fur further information, please email mathias.fischer(a)ieee.org ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Pervasive 2021 - Special Issue on the Future of Work: COVID-19 and Beyond Datum: Wed, 2 Dec 2020 23:09:37 -0500 Von: IEEE Pervasive <ieee.pervasive.outreach(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: IEEE Pervasive <ieee.pervasive.outreach(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apology for cross-posting] Call for Papers: Special Issue on the Future of Work: COVID-19 and Beyond Andrew L. Kun, Shamsi Iqbal, Microsoft Research, Orit Shaer Title and abstracts due: 15 February 2021 (email pvc4-2021(a)computer.org) Full manuscripts due: 1 March 2021 (via https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pc-cs.) Publication: October-December 2021 Advances in pervasive computing are rapidly changing the way we work. Pervasive computing can improve the way workers connect into productive teams; it vastly improves the ability of organizations to collect and process data; and it provides new tools for using data in feedback loops that affect the physical or virtual world, both as personalized, small-scale interventions and as broad, large-scale actions. These changes are accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis. This crisis resulted in a sudden and dramatic change in how we work. For many of us, the well-known mainstays of work—the eight-hour workday, the office building, the morning commute, the salient boundaries between work and personal life, in-person conversations with coworkers, and sending children to school or daycare—are gone or drastically different than they were before. Even worse, millions of workers lost their jobs, and their prospects of future employment are uncertain. The issues of inequality and racial injustice are even more pronounced than before; sections of the population are bearing the brunt far more than others, and there is a real risk of leaving behind workers who are unable to balance rapidly changing work responsibilities with increased demands placed on their personal life. While we all hope that the COVID-19 crisis will soon subside, some of its effects are likely to remain; not all office buildings will open back up, not all jobs lost will be available again, and the way we used to think about productivity and work-life balance may never be the same. Given these changes, how can pervasive computing support worker and organization productivity? How can it support workers in balancing productivity with well-being? How can it support workers as they seek new skills and new jobs? Furthermore, how do these new circumstances provide a window into the long-term future of work and the role of pervasive computing in this future? And, while we are primarily interested in how pervasive computing can support work, we must be mindful of helping workers maintain their overall well-being. What is the role of pervasive computing in this? In this special issue, we seek to provide a broad set of answers to these questions. The guest editors invite original and high-quality submissions addressing any aspect of the role of pervasive computing in supporting the future of work. Review or summary articles—for example, critical evaluations of the state of the art, or an insightful analysis of established and upcoming technologies—may be accepted if they demonstrate academic rigor and relevance. Example topics include, but are not limited to: Tools for remote work: working from home, working while commuting, and meetings with remote participants New ways of getting work done: techniques for interleaving work; easy resumption, engagement, and disengagement; and incorporating well-being needs in productivity tools Technologies for the future of work: networking, augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable devices, and human-robot collaboration Supporting worker well-being: maintaining work-life boundaries, supporting physical movement, and facilitating work attachment and detachment Matching worker skills with job opportunities: assessing worker skills, matching existing skills to new job opportunities, and peer-networks for learning new skills Inclusion and accessibility: technology that is built for equality and technology that supports all abilities Security and privacy: protecting the pervasive-computing work infrastructure from malicious actors and maintaining privacy while providing personalized support for work and well-being Novel ways of measuring outcome: rewarding performance so that it takes into account an individual’s unique needs, incorporating well-being as an integral part of productivity, fostering and measuring creativity and innovation, and supporting self-reflection by workers Novel applications of pervasive computing to support future jobs and work practices Submission Guidelines Articles submitted to IEEE Pervasive Computing should not exceed 6,000 words, including all text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies, and table text. The word count must include 250 words for each table and figure. References should be limited to 20 citations (40 for survey papers). Authors are encouraged, but not required, to use a template for submission (accepted articles will ultimately be typeset by magazine staff for publication). Submissions should not have been submitted or published elsewhere. Please read the author guidelines here. To submit a manuscript, go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pc-cs. Questions?

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE/IFIP WONS 2021 - Deadline extended to December 18, 2020 Datum: Wed, 2 Dec 2020 21:37:40 +0100 Von: Michele Segata <michele.segata(a)UNIBZ.IT> Antwort an: Michele Segata <michele.segata(a)UNIBZ.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, the IEEE/IFIP WONS deadline has been extended to December 18, 2020. In addition, we will have two keynotes on knowledge networks and mmWave networks. Please find the CfP below. Best regards, Michele IEEE/IFIP WONS 2021 - Call for Papers 16th Wireless On-demand Network systems and Services Conference 9-11 March 2021 Virtual Conference *** Reduced registration fee of 180 euros for authors & Free registration for PhD Students (non-author) *** http://2021.wons-conference.org/ ************************************** DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 18, 2020 ************************************** 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. Finally, there are many application-specific challenges. WONS, now in its sixteenth edition, is a high quality forum to address these challenges. WONS aims 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, energy efficiency, models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, application use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network technologies. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the conference proceedings published in the IFIP Open Access Digital Library and will also be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. After having carefully monitored the sanitary evolution, the WONS 2021 organising committee decided to move to a fully virtual conference. This will allow all speakers and participants to join the conference independently of any travel restrictions that might still apply beginning of 2021. The virtual format of the conference enables the organization committee, in agreement with IFIP and IEEE, to offer the registration for a very low fee. The registration for non-authors PhD students will be free, giving the opportunity to meet on-line all the authors and the Keynote Speakers. The limited size of this long-run, prestigious conference enables the on-line event to be organised with a non-conventional, impactful format. It is thus a unique opportunity to join and contribute to fruitful discussions in this period of limited travel and continuous restrictions. Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to: - Cognitive radio networks - Network management - Cross-layer design - Modeling and optimization - Energy-efficient protocols and power management - Mobile computing and services - Heterogeneous wireless networks - New architectures for on-demand wireless systems - Implementations and testbeds - Novel applications and services - Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies - Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols - Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems - Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments - Green wireless networks - Pervasive and ubiquitous computing - Localization and mobility management - Security, privacy, and trust - MAC and advanced PHY technologies - Social and economic aspects - Middleware aspects - Underwater on-demand networked systems - Mobile peer-to-peer systems - Architectures and protocols for the Internet of Things - Vehicular networks - Device-to-device communication for 5G and 6G architectures This edition will additionally include a special session titled "Smartphone Apps for Contact Tracing - Experiences with COVID-19 Tracing Apps", addressing the issues related to pandemic control and tracing.
