PAM is inclusive of all areas of network measurement, but focuses on systems-based research and real-world data. Indeed, measurement technology is needed at all layers of the network stack, ranging from power profiling of hardware components to virtualization in data centers to application profiling and even user experience. Work with operational impact or relevance to the broader network research community is especially welcome, as is early and promising measurement technique. Original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in the following areas are invited: - Applications (e.g., web, streaming, games) - Data centers and cloud computing - Energy - IoT (e.g., smart home, SCADA, ICS, embedded systems) - Measurement tools and software - Network security and privacy - Overlays (e.g., P2P, CDNs) - Physical Layer - Routing - Social networks - Topology - Transport/congestion control - User behavior and experience, QoE - Virtualization (e.g., SDN, NFV) - Visualization - Wireless and mobile Although PAM traditionally attracts early stage contributions, works that are a reappraisal or independent validation of previous results, or which enhance the reproducibility of network measurement research, for instance by publishing new datasets on an existing topic, are explicitly included in PAM's scope. **Submission Guidelines** Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: - Follow Springer LNCS format (see https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) - Up to 12 pages for technical content (up to 5 pages for appendices and references) - Note that reviewers are not required to read appendices. Everything needed to evaluate the paper should appear in the first 12 pages. - Anonymization: Reviewing will be DOUBLE-BLIND: - Do not include names or affiliations of authors in the submission. - Refer to your prior work in the third person. - Make a best effort to anonymize system names that would give you away. - If you have any concerns about how to anonymize your paper while maintaining its integrity, contact the PC chairs. - Submit via HotCRP: https://hotcrp.cs.umd.edu/pam2021/ **Ethical Considerations** Following the standard set by the Internet Measurement Conference (from which we base this section), papers describing experiments with users or sensitive user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information) must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), and risk mitigation. When appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a subsection (in the main paper, not in the Appendix) describing these issues. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report (http://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2012/menlo_report_actual_formatted/) for further information on ethical principles and the Allman/Paxson IMC 2007 paper (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf) for guidance on ethical data sharing. Note that submitting research for approval by each author's institutional ethics review body is necessary, but not sufficient -- in cases where the PC has concerns about the ethics of the work in a submission, the PC will consider the ethical soundness and justification of any paper, just as it does its technical soundness. Authors unsure about ethical issues are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs. **Awards** There will be two awards for papers of exceptional merit. The **Best Paper Award** will recognize the paper that is deemed by the committee to have the highest merit of all the submissions. The *Best Dataset Award* will be given to the best paper that makes datasets and corresponding code available to the public by the time the camera-ready is submitted. These artifacts must be sufficiently documented such that any researcher can use them to repeat the results described in the paper, and they must be placed in a sufficiently long-lived archival repository (e.g., Github, Bitbucket, or CRAWDAD). **Organizers** - General Chair: Oliver Hohlfeld (Brandenburg University of Technology) - Program Committee Chairs: Andra Lutu (Telefónica) and Dave Levin (University of Maryland) Pedro Casas PAM 2021 Publicity Chair PEDRO CASAS Senior Scientist Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Giefinggasse 4 | 1210 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at/> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Molisch, University of Southern California Title: Millimeter-wave and THz channels and systems for high-mobility environments Abstract: Millimeter-wave based communications is one of the key components of 5G. Among other applications, high-rate communications for both passengers and control systems in vehicular and train environments are envisioned. This talk will start out by discussion propagation channels in high-mobility environments, describing both recent measurements and suitable models. This will be followed by a discussion of antenna and MIMO technology for such systems, their complexity, and sensitivity to mobility. +++ Yonina Eldar, Weizmann Institute of Science Title: Deep Analog-to-Digital Compression with Applications to Automotive Radar and Massive MIMO Abstract: The famous Shannon-Nyquist theorem has become a landmark in analog to digital conversion and the development of digital signal processing algorithms. However, in many modern applications, the signal bandwidths have increased tremendously, while the acquisition capabilities have not scaled sufficiently fast. Furthermore, the resulting high rate digital data requires storage, communication and processing at very high rates which is computationally expensive and requires large amounts of power. In this talk we consider a general framework for sub-Nyquist sampling and processing in space, time and frequency which allows to dramatically reduce the number of antennas, sampling rates, number of bits and band occupancy in a variety of applications. It also allows for the development of efficient joint radar-communication systems. Our framework relies on exploiting signal structure, quantization and the processing task in both standard processing and in deep learning networks. We consider applications of these ideas to a variety of problems in wireless communications, efficient massive MIMO systems, automotive radar and ultrasound imaging and show several demos of real-time sub-Nyquist prototypes including a wireless ultrasound probe, sub-Nyquist automotive radar, cognitive radio and radar, dual radar-communication systems, analog precoding, sparse antenna arrays, and a deep Viterbi decoder. +++ Mohamed-Slim Alouini, Abdullah University of Science and Technology Title: What should 6G be? Abstract: The role of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) in bringing about a revolution in almost all aspects of human life needs no introduction. It is indeed a well-known fact that the transmission of the information at a rapid pace has transformed all spheres of human life such as economy, education, and health to name a few. In this context, and as the standardization of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been completed, and 5G networks are in their early stage of deployment, the research visioning and planning of the sixth generation (6G) of WCSs are being initiated. 6G is expected to be the next focus in wireless communication and networking and aim to provide new superior communication services to meet the future hyper-connectivity demands in the 2030s. In addition, keeping in mind that urbanized populations have been the major beneficiary of the advances offered by the previous generations of WCSs and motivated by the recently adopted united nations sustainability development goals intended to be achieved by the year 2030, 6G networks are anticipated to democratize the benefits of ICT. Indeed these advantages are still not experienced by almost 4 billion people in the world who are still "unconnected or under-connected" and who suffer as such from the "digital divide", a term coined in order to emphasize the lack of ICT infrastructure in many parts of the world. Given this background, this talk aims to (i) provide an envisioned picture of 6G, (ii) serve as a research guideline in the beyond 5G era, and (iii) go over the recently proposed solutions to provide high-speed connectivity in under-covered areas in order to serve and contribute to the development of far-flung regions. +++ Wen Tong, Huawei Wireless Title: The Research Directions for 6G Abstract: In this talk, we present our view on 6G technologies, its trends and research directions. Wireless technology have gone through several major revolutions and it is always the case that the disruptive technologies enable the wireless innovation and market success. As 5G technology enables the digital transformation of every vertical business, we see a radical paradigm shift from the conventional operator-centric view to an inclusive prosumer-centric view, and the new approach to a federated networking and service provisioning, redefining the smart connectivity infrastructure as a much more dynamic composition of all resources of participating users. This include the spectrum usage reform and infrastructure sharing, we present four fundamental changes in terms of 6G networking and associated research challenges. The other aspect for 6G is a total unification of mobile, satellite, network, cloud, cloud-edge computing, ML, AI, end-to-end cybersecurity, innovative devices, Industry IoT, cell-less MIMO and Terahertz Communication to support the prosumer-centric model, in this architecture, we list a few technology enablers, such a mmWave-THz sensing, machine learning-training DNN to enable semantic communications as intelligent connectivity, the research in these areas will shape the radio access for 6G. Since the 6G is future platform to enable new innovations with its state-of-the-art capabilities, we provide an analysis of the key-performance indicators for 6G. In addition, we share our view of the potential impact of Quantum computing, mega-satellite-constellation and neural-center (instead of data center) to 6G. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2020 IEEE 3rd Connected and Automated Vehicles Symposium: IEEE CAVS 2020 -- Fully Virtual -- ***Will Now Open 18 November 2020*** IEEE CAVS 2020 Sponsors Technical co-sponsors: ITS Canada, Transportation Association of Canada __________________________________________________________________ Guidelines for recording presentations can be found at: events.vtsociety.org/ieee-cavs-2020/authors/virtual-presentation-guideline/ Registration is open. For more details, please visit: events.vtsociety.org/ieee-cavs-2020/registration-2/ +++++ Keynote Speakers+++++ Joe LaChapelle Vice President, Research & Development Title: Cooperative Perception - Market and System Design Considerations Abstract: Cooperative perception promises significant opportunity to optimize performance, functional safety (FuSa) and safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) in autonomous navigation. System level architecture choices will mitigate the adoption and proliferation of cooperative perception into the OEM automotive market. Existing automotive ecosystem dynamics will significantly inform the requisite component module boundaries, interfaces, and data standards for threshold efficacy. This presentation will explore the ecosystem dynamics and propose architecture theory to minimize barrier to entry of cooperative perception into the ADAS and self-driving market. +++ Prashant Tiwari General Manager, Intelligent Connected Systems Division Title: CAV Enabling Mobility Services Opportunities Abstract: The transportation industry currently is undergoing a huge transition - estimated by some to be the biggest transformation in its history. Vehicles are increasingly being equipped with embedded connectivity and automated technologies and Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) predicts that by 2025 CAV market will be $150B with more that 100 million CAV on the road. This has enabled several Mobility as a Service (MaaS) opportunities. Analysts indicate that connected car capabilities already influence 6 out of 10 vehicle purchases, giving vehicle manufacturers the ability to open new revenue streams, diversify core activities, and improve profit margins by selling software and connected services. Processing the big data from connected vehicles is one of the big challenges all automakers are currently facing. But these challenges also provide opportunities to build hyper connected cyber-physical systems (also called Digital Twin) with several interesting use cases like personalized intelligent driving and smart traffic management using CAVs. +++ Richard Yu Professor, School of Information Technology Title: Internet of Intelligence for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Abstract: In the era of the Internet of information, we have gone through layer, cross-layer, and cross-system design paradigms. The "curse of modeling" and "curse of dimensionality" of the current Internet of information have resulted in the popularity of using artificial intelligence (AI) for the Internet of information in the recent years. However, many significant research challenges remain to be addressed for the Internet of information to enable connected and autonomous vehicles. In a larger time scale, humans' cooperation has gone through "grid of transportation", "grid of energy", and "the Internet of information" paradigms. The next cooperation paradigm could be "the Internet of intelligence", where intelligence can be easily obtained like information and energy. The Internet of intelligence can become an important enabler for connected and autonomous vehicles. In this talk, we will present some recent advances in these areas. Then, we will discuss some open issues and challenges that need to be addressed in the future. ____________________________________________________________________________________ IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference 2020 - IEEE VPPC 2020 -- Fully Virtual -- ***Will Now Open 18 November 2020*** Guidelines for recording presentations can be found at: events.vtsociety.org/vppc2020/authors/virtual-presentation-guidelines/ Registration is now open. For more details, please visit: events.vtsociety.org/vppc2020/registration-2/ ++++++Keynote Speakers++++++ Eric Cheng Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Power Electronics Research Centre Title: Power Electronics Research Development for Energy Storage and Electric Vehicles Abstract: Power electronics is an enabli9ng technology for power conversion. The key components of an Electric Vehicle are the battery and the motor drive. Energy storages such as batteries and super-capacitors are now the major units. Energy cell packaging is now a new direction. The use of energy cells to integrate with the vehicle body has been reported and suggests good potential for energy management. The energy management and balance is now a necessary component to manage the energy cells. Besides the energy storage and the traction motor and drives, there are numerous motors and actuators used in modern electric vehicles. One of them is an active suspension system to replace the conventional hydraulic system. The In-wheel motor is based on integrating the motor and wheel into a single unit that increase the power density and presents a real 4-wheel drive. The skid steering can, therefore, be realized. Also, the anti-lock braking (ABS) is an all-electric braking system, and replaces the conventional hydraulic system in ABS. An extensive overview of the latest electric vehicle technology is presented. The talk covers the major advanced components of an electric vehicle and the technology and research related to the development, and its associated power electronics development. Finally, the talk is concluded with an outlook on future vehicles. +++ Ray Ding Founder and Chief Executive Office Title: The application of IoT technologies in the field of EV charging Abstract: IoT- Internet of Things-is proven on both the vehicle electronic and Consumer electronics industry by its leader, Tesla, and Xiaomi. As an important role in the new energy vehicle ecosystem, EV charging station is welcoming the intelligent trend of IoT as well. Smart charging stations utilizing IOT technologies will enhance the user experience, enable great expansibility to CPO, finally providing an intelligence information port or the entire energy system. Thanks to IoT hardware infrastructure on our smart charging station. We designed an embedded system based on the charging scene, enabling our device to achieve control, interaction, and internet communication functions on a tiny PCB. We also make a reasonable cut to the system and application software to achieve higher efficiency. As the advantages of IoT integration, the simplification of the supply-chain, the reduction of cost, and the reduction of the marginal cost of software also make the profit of charging station providers possible. Finally, we believe that the smart charging station will be used as an infrastructure construction to welcome the new energy era. +++ Jianghua Feng Vice President and CEO Title: Virtual rail intelligent express system Abstract: Due to the role of track guidance, bearing and constraint, rail trains have the advantages of large volume and high efficiency, and have been the backbone of urban transportation for a long time. However, due to the harsh smoothness and other requirements of the track, the system construction, operation and maintenance are complicated and costly. Therefore, the industry has been exploring new types of trains, simplifying the requirements of vehicles on the track structure, and innovating straddle-type monorail trains, guideway type rubber trolleybuses, etc., so as to change the solid track from double track to monorail. Whether the dependence on the physical track can be completely overturned is a new technical challenge. The virtual track intelligent express system is the first to create a new multi-group articulated rubber-tyred train based on the virtual track, which completely replaces the physical track through technologies such as path perception and active guidance control. Since 2010, it has undergone an iterative innovation process such as concept research, principle verification, prototype testing, and engineering demonstrations, it made its world premiere in 2017. This system creates a new rail transit system, which can be widely used in the network connection or extension of metropolitan rail transit, the construction of backbone transportation systems in small and medium cities, and the operation of special lines such as tourist attractions. Compared with trams, the overall cost is only about 1/3, the construction period is only about 1/2, it can be flexibly configured and quickly form a transportation network. Taking the 17.7km T1 line of Sichuan Yibin, where the system is applied, as an example, it saves about 1.7 billion yuan in investment compared with the tram system. In the year of opening (2019), the city was promoted to rank first in the congestion reduction rate in China. At present, the system has successfully passed the extreme cold and high heat extreme tests in Harbin and Qatar, and has become the traffic (connection) solution for the 2022 World Cup. The emergence of this system has injected strong original innovation power into the diversified and deep development of the world's rail transit. It has outstanding characteristics and obvious advantages. It has a broad market application space in the future and has great potential for sustainable development. +++ Simon Hou Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Title: The application of IoT technologies in the field of EV charging Abstract: IoT- Internet of Things-is proven on both the vehicle electronic and Consumer electronics industry by its leader, Tesla, and Xiaomi. As an important role in the new energy vehicle ecosystem, EV charging station is welcoming the intelligent trend of IoT as well.

Finally, we believe that the smart charging station will be used as an infrastructure construction to welcome the new energy era. +++ Luis (Nando) Ochoa Professor, Smart Grids and Power Systems Title: Making Electric Vehicles and the Grid Work Together Abstract: The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) will pose significant technical and economic challenges on the power grid, particularly on very infrastructure they are connected to the electric distribution network. These networks have been traditionally designed to have no or limited controllability and, hence, are largely unmonitored.They will become the bottlenecks and therefore understanding how to best integrate EVs is critical to facilitate the electrification of our transport. This keynote will discuss the impacts of EVs and the challenges faced by distribution companies. Furthermore, it will present some of the findings of the large-scale UK trial "My Electric Avenue" in which more than 200 EVs were monitored for over a year to understand usage patterns as well as to test the effectiveness of EV charging point management to avoid network issues. The keynote will also provide an overview of the challenges brought by fast-charging stations and the need for future cities to have holistic planning approaches that involve traffic flows. +++ Alexander M. Wyglinski Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Robotics Engineering Title: Bumblebee-Inspired Connected Vehicles: What's All The Buzz About Abstract: Wireless connectivity is quickly becoming a critical element in future transportation systems, especially with respect to self-driving cars and various levels of vehicular autonomy. Given the complex and highly time-varying environments existing on busy roadways, having each vehicle possessing real-time situational awareness is essential for performing complex functions, such as autonomous lane-changing, traffic intersection management, and platooning. Although there already exists a variety of different sensors that can gather data about the vehicular environment in order to obtain real-time situation awareness, such as LIDAR, RADAR, and vision systems, these sensors can only collect this data via line-of-sight (LOS). On the other hand, wireless connectivity is not constrained to LOS data gathering and can greatly increase the real-time situational awareness of each vehicle on the road, enhancing its performance and increasing driver/passenger safety. As the number of vehicles on the road become connected to each other, this information sharing will evolve into a Vehicular Internet-of-Things (VIOT) environment. To support the VIOT ecosystem, adequate wireless spectrum is needed to enable this connectivity between vehicles in real-time as they are operating on the road in complex conditions. To achieve this, Vehicular Dynamic Spectrum Access, or VDSA, can be employed, where unoccupied wireless spectrum is temporarily accessed by non-licensed users in order to support data communications during that time interval. Compared to conventional DSA techniques, VDSA needs to be capable of handling significant spectral availability variations during a transmission. Past research has explored the use of VDSA in television white space spectral environments as well as the implementation of VDSA algorithms using machine learning techniques. However, recently a new approach to VDSA has been proposed where each vehicle performs VDSA using an algorithm based on bumblebee-inspired resource foraging. In this talk, the fundamentals of how bumblebee-inspired VDSA will be presented, with several examples shown in order to demonstrate the performance of this approach.Use this link to unsubscribe: http://unsubscribe.magnetmail.net/Actions/unsubscribe.cfm?message_id=193707…
