The organizing committee (OC) is closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 situation that could impact paper submissions and in-person attendance. In case of travel restrictions, a partially or fully virtual conference could become necessary and video/remote presentations will be accepted. In addition, the OC is also investigating remote participation under all circumstances especially for accepted papers. About ICIN Since 1989, the ICIN conferences have been bringing together leading Internet and telecom experts from industry, academia and government from across the globe. ICIN is a single track conference that is both intimate and global, attracting 100+ delegates, from more than 20 countries. It focuses on leading edge investigations into Internet technologies, from basic networking and cloud services to novel architectures. ICIN uses a rigorous peer-review process and has become an established industry forum to discuss emerging trends in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). It offers an agora for one-on-one discussions and cross-fertilization between participants and leading network visionaries, with the goal of promoting dialogue and ideation about the current and future trends in networking research and development. ICIN conferences are well known for their identification of research challenges and industry trends and their discussion on the impact of cutting-edge technologies on future intelligent and distributed networking, and related computing services. ICIN has an enviable track record of identifying key technologies and services – and analysing their impact on business models – before they become widely recognized in the industry and government communication sectors. The interdisciplinary approach and the cross-fertilization of ideas are the main ingredients that made ICIN a recognized event in the telecommunications, cloud networking and Internet communities. ICIN 2021 For 2021 ICIN is focussing on the melding of network and computing services that is clearly demonstrated by the increasing softwarization of the network services in the core and the access networks, the rise of computing in the network and the growth of cognition in networking for management and control, as well as for value added services at the edge and in the data center. Several innovations are impacting the ongoing transformations toward the network of the future and the evolution of cloud services. More and more the network fabric itself emcompasses functionality usually associated with computing as increased intelligence and cognition are necessary to address emerging requirements of distributed services, automation and network reliability. At the same time, more and more, the cloud is extending to the edge adding a number of heterogeneous networked subsystems to the Internet with a variety of requirements that further highlight the need for novel architectures, e.g., IoT systems, augmented and virtual reality and service delivery platforms. The result is the networking and computing systems becoming one, melding, as a distributed cloud/edge continuum with cognition and intelligence for emerging services. This “Computing and Networking as a Service” is the paradigm that will be central to the deployment of immersive services in many different sectors, such as e-health, self-driving cars, industrial networks, agriculture and cloud robotics. In this regard, there is a need for a variety of mechanisms enabling the new generation of service offerings at different levels (consumer, business, government, social, service provider ecosystem platforms). In this scenario and considering the many challenges that the aforementioned paradigms and technologies will bring, the theme for ICIN 2021 is: “Services everywhere: melding networking and computing in an intelligent cloud-edge continuum” The conference will foster discussion about new ideas and novel approaches for future service concepts, service delivery and their enabling technologies and mechanisms in the emerging scenario of immersive intelligence and service level awareness. With this vision, the conference will look beyond the current state of the art and promote the advances of Computing as a Service technologies for different application service delivery platforms. Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research, research related to business impact or mechanisms of new technologies, as well as broader position and visionary papers. Contributions that discuss lessons learnt and best practices, describe practical deployment and implementation experiences as well as demonstrating innovative use-cases are also and especially encouraged. ********************************************************************************** ICIN 2021 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals.

ICN may appear as a promising candidate to solve many issues of the current Push/IP/Client-Server-based, connection-oriented regid network architecture. Adopting the ICN architecture for resource-constrained wireless sensor-based IoT networks may further improve the data access mechanisms, reliability issues in case of mobility events, and high latency in case of multihop communication. However, integrating both technologies has not extensively been studied, especially for resource-constraint wireless sensor networks. The scope of this Special Issue is the examination of the challenges presented by the synergy between ICNs and wireless sensor-based IoT networks. Therefore, we invite researchers and experts to contribute original research articles as well as review articles about the research topics related to ICWSN. It is intended that this Special Issue of the IEEE IoT Journal will show the state-of-the-art in ICWSNs. Original research contributions, tutorials and review papers are sought in ICWSN-related areas including (but not limited to): • Architecture and protocol designs for ICWSN • Cross-layer protocol designs for ICWSN • Naming schemes for ICWSN • Caching schemes for ICWSN • Protocol Designs for cluster-based ICWSN • Architecture and protocol designs of ICWSNs with various radios, such as LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE, NB-IoT, etc. • Distributed Computing over ICWSN • Resources Orchestration over ICWSN • Producer mobility in ICWSN • Reliability, QoS support, sustainability, and energy efficiency in ICWSN • Security and privacy in ICWSN • Multimedia support in ICWSN • Forwarding and Routing for ICWSN • Test-Bed implementation and measurements ICWSN Schedule Submissions Deadline: November 15, 2020 First Reviews Due: January 31, 2021 Revision Due: March 15, 2021 Second Reviews Due/Notification: April 15, 2021 Final Manuscript Due: April 30, 2021 Publication Date: 2021 Submission All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With recent advances in energy sharing technologies through both wired and wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other mobile agents) within the network. Such pervasive energy sharing models become particularly important for emerging use cases on circular economy paradigms, such as smart climate-neutral cities or clean connected mobility, where valuable resources including energy need to be administered in optimal manners. Energy sharing can be considered for various types of pervasive mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and electric vehicles (EVs). However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different challenges need to be addressed under different optimization goals. This special issue invites technical papers that will address these challenges in pervasive mobile energy sharing in various network domains. The special issue will span the topics including but are not limited to: - Charger scheduling and placement in wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks - Network-wide distributed energy management through energy sharing - Large-scale energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms - Crowd charging solutions for pervasive devices and vehicles - Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing in pervasive mobile networks - Opportunistic energy sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) - Cooperative energy management and storage in pervasive mobile networks - Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) mobile energy sharing and trading - Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) mobile energy sharing (for Electric Vehicles) - Ubiquitous dynamic wireless charging of EVs - Pervasive energy sharing and management in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks - UAV-assisted wirelessly powered networks and systems - Near and far-field wireless power transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks - Energy harvesting and sharing for pervasive mobile devices - New models for distributed pervasive batteryless sensing and computation - Energy sharing solutions for green cellular networks - Hybrid mobile energy sharing networks - Privacy and security issues in pervasive mobile energy sharing - Software/hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers - Energy trading and economy models among peers - Incentive models for energy sharing and smart energy pricing - SWIPT solutions for pervasive energy sharing - Pervasive energy sharing in wearable computing - Pervasive energy sharing in smart micro-grids Submission Guidelines: ------------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Papers previously published in conference proceedings are eligible for submission if the submitted manuscript is a substantial revision and extension of the conference version. In this case, authors should indicate the previous publication(s) in the cover letter and explain the enhancements made in the journal version. The published conference article(s) are also required to be submitted together with the journal version. The submission website for this journal is located at https://www.evise.com/profile/#/PMC/login. Please select “VSI:Energy-Sharing" when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified, for consideration by the special issue, the authors should indicate in the cover letter that the manuscript has been submitted for the special issue on Pervasive Mobile Energy Sharing.
