-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM TOIT SI on Recent Advances in Networks and Distributed Systems Datum: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 13:07:24 -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.

Although the convergence of communication, caching, control and computing (4C) resources can be leveraged to effectively enable 6G services and applications over vehicle-to-everything (V2X) channels, multiple challenges must be addressed to allow connected vehicles to meet the 6G requirements, to securely and efficiently orchestrate their resources and to develop self-organizing and self-sustaining capabilities. Emerging communication paradigms that make effective data transmission in very high dynamic contexts include the reprogrammability of the environment by the means of Reprogrammable Intelligent Metasurfaces (RIMs). Moreover, Visible Light Communication (VLC) can improve the reliability of V2X interactions and be effective in terms of security and enhanced data rate. With focus on networking aspects, Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can bring programmability, flexibility and scalability in connected vehicles, simplify network management and promote an efficient and fair use of the distributed 4C resources and programmable metasurfaces.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM HotMobile 2021 : Call for Posters/Demos, February 24-26,2021, Cyberspace Datum: Sun, 3 Jan 2021 22:34:55 -0500 Von: Yufei Sun <yufeisun369(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yufei Sun <yufeisun369(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 22nd Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2021) *https://hotmobile.org/2021/ <https://hotmobile.org/2021/>* Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE February 24-26, 2021 Cyberspace *Call for Posters/Demos* ACM HotMobile 2021, the Twenty-second International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. HotMobile seeks proposals for posters and demonstrations describing novel work on mobile systems, applications, and services. Given the current circumstances, live poster presentations and demos will run in parallel over video link during a dedicated session, with participants being able to drop in and out, as they would in an in-situ setting. As backup, authors of posters and demonstrations will be required to have pre-recorded versions of their poster presentations/demos. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new or ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with workshop attendees. Posters are well suited to controversial work that can generate discussion or promising new ideas which have not been thoroughly evaluated. Demos provide an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of your research. We are looking for new ways of presenting demos and posters, exploiting the possibility of a video link in original and novel ways. For example, demos can be video streamed from labs (where local provisions permit), outdoors, using web portals/Jupyter notebooks/Colab, or involve app downloads via links provided and user testing. The poster/demo session will feature a Best Poster/Demo award. *Submission* Submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than one 8.5x11-inch page, including all figures and references. Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Poster/Demo Chair ( paul.patras(a)ed.ac.uk). * subject line for posters: HOTMOBILE POSTER SUBMISSION * subject line for demos: HOTMOBILE DEMO SUBMISSION **Abstract deadline: Jan 25th, 2021* *More details on the submission process:* * Please set up your page to be letter size, 8.5x11 inches, two columns, using 10-pt font size for the text body, at least one-inch margin on all sides; * Please include the title of the poster/demo and the author list, including affiliations in both the PDF file and in the body of the email; * Please prefix your title with “Poster:” for a poster submission and “Demo:” for a demo submission; * The abstract should be attached in PDF format. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
