-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 28th, 2020, EAI ADHOCNETS 2020 - 12th EAI International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks Datum: Sat, 18 Jul 2020 08:32:38 +0000 Von: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> Antwort an: Kim, HyunBum <kimh(a)UNCW.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 12th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS 2020) November 17-18, 2020 (will be held virtually) https://adhocnets.org/<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fadhocnets…> Paper submission deadline: July 28, 2020 (extended) EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event. EAI is committed to holding the conference in 2020 and Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present their submission online. In case the situation prevents the event from taking place in its original location, it will be held fully in an interactive, live online setting. Scope: The annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) focuses on ad hoc networking technologies and their applications. An ad hoc network is a wireless system, in which mobile or static nodes are connected using wireless links and cooperate to self-organize into a network without the requirement for any infrastructure such as access points or base stations. In recent years, ad hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from the research and engineering communities. The distributed and multi-hop nature of ad hoc networking as well as the highly dynamic topology of an ad hoc network due to node mobility has introduced many formidable challenges such as scalability, quality of service, reliability and security, and energy-constrained operations for the network. Ad hoc networking covers a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of the annual AdHocNets conference is to provide a forum that brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government laboratories as well as industry to meet, network, exchange ideas and present their recent research work, and discuss future directions on all aspects of ad hoc networks. Following the success of ADHOCNETS’09-19, the 12th edition of the event, ADHOCNETS 2020, will be held in virtually from Paris Saclay. The conference will consist of keynote speeches, invited talks, and technical sessions.

Fwd: [ACM SenSys 2020] Call for Workshop Papers
by Lars Wolf 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ACM SenSys 2020] Call for Workshop Papers Datum: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 04:46:30 -0000 Von: yuukin(a)iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Dr. Wolf, [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Hope you are well and healthy. I would like to share workshops that will be held in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2020. Please kindly forward this list to your community if you do not mind. ============================================== ACM SenSys2020: Call for Workshop Papers ============================================== [Workshops] - The 1st ACM International Workshop on Nanoscale Computing, Communication, and Applications (ACM NanoCoCoA 2020) - The 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting and Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems（ENSsys) - The 3rd ACM International Workshop on Blockchain-enabled Networked Sensor Systems (BlockSys) - The 3rd International SenSys+BuildSys Workshop on Data: Acquisition to Analysis (DATA) - Cloud Continuum Services for Smart IoT Systems - The 1st International Workshop on Physical-Layer Augmented Security for Sensor Systems (PLAS) - The 1st ACM International Workshop on Security and Safety for Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (SecICPS) - The 2nd International Workshop on Challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Internet of Things (AIChallengeIoT 2020) http://sensys.acm.org/2020 [The 1st ACM International Workshop on Nanoscale Computing, Communication, and Applications (ACM NanoCoCoA 2020)] Nanotechnology continues to revolutionize a wide variety of fields by paving the way toward sub-μm scale devices (i.e., in the order of a few hundred nanometers). Controlling materials on such a scale is expected to give rise to integrated nanodevices with simple sensing, actuation, data processing and storage, and communication capabilities, opening the horizon to a variety of ground-breaking applications. By equipping nanodevices with wireless communications capabilities, nanotechnology will facilitate the advance of multiple disruptive applications, the most prominent ones being in-body communication, software-defined metamaterials, wireless robotic materials, and on-chip communication. Communication among the nanodevices, as well as between them and the macroscale world, will be required to achieve the promise of the above-mentioned application domains. Predominantly due to the small size and limited capabilities of nanodevices, classical communication paradigms are not directly applicable to nanocommunication and networking. Thus, several alternative nanocommunication paradigms have emerged, with the most promising one for enabling all of the envisioned applications being high-frequency (mmWave and terahertz (THz)) electromagnetic nanocommunication. The overall objective of the ACM NanoCoCoA is to bring together a broad range of experts on nanoscale computing, high frequency electromagnetic (mmWave, THz) nanocommunication and networking, and the promising application domains, in order to outline, discuss, and address emerging topics pertaining to designing nanodevices and wireless systems of nanodevices for this novel set of disruptive nanoscale applications. Workshop web page: https://www.nanococoa.org/ Program Chairs: * Chong Han (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) * Jeroen Famaey (University of Antwerp - imec, Belgium) * Sergi Abadal (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) * Filip Lemic (University of Antwerp - imec, Belgium and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 8th International Workshop on Energy Harvesting and Energy-Neutral Sensing Systems（ENSsys)] ENSsys will be held as a virtual and on-site event in Tokyo, Japan, co-located with ACM SenSys. Complementing the topics of SenSys 2020, this workshop will bring researchers together to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities in the research, design, and engineering of energy-harvesting, energy-neutral and intermittent sensing systems. These are enabling technologies for future applications in smart energy, transportation, environmental monitoring and smart cities. Innovative solutions in hardware for energy scavenging, adaptive algorithms, and power management policies are needed to enable either uninterrupted or intermittent operation. High quality technical articles are solicited, describing advances in sensing systems powered by energy harvesting, as well as those which describe practical deployments and implementation experiences. Moreover, ENSsys offers a platform for innovative future directions by soliciting position papers. Workshop web page: https://enssys20.hotcrp.com/ Workshop paper submission link: https://enssys20.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Alex S. Weddell (University of Southampton, UK) * Josiah Hester (Northwestern University, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 3rd ACM International Workshop on Blockchain-enabled Networked Sensor Systems (BlockSys)] Sensing technologies are being widely used in environments such as smart home, smart building, vehicular network, etc. Information collected from networked sensor systems are valuable if shared and tracked correctly. However, today’s sensing-cloud paradigm does not genetically support trust management and privacy preservation; it also does not encourage information sharing in multi-stakeholder settings through incentives and payment mechanisms. The emerging blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies offer a possibility to 1) ensure data protection, 2) monetize information exchange, 3) reduce sharing and maintenance costs, and 4) to manage trust in multi-stakeholder settings. Workshop web page: https://sensysblockchain.github.io/ Workshop paper submission link: https://blocksys20.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Bhaskar Krishnamachari (University of Southern California, USA) * Salil Kanhere (UNSW Sydney, Australia) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 3rd International SenSys+BuildSys Workshop on Data: Acquisition to Analysis (DATA)] As the enthusiasm for and success of the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Smart Buildings grows, so too does the volume and variety of data collected by these systems. How do we ensure that this data is of high quality, and how do we maximize the utility of collected data such that many projects can benefit from the time, cost, and effort of deployments? The Data: Acquisition To Analysis (DATA) workshop aims to look broadly at interesting data from interesting sensing systems. The workshop considers problems, solutions, and results from all across the real-world data pipeline. We solicit submissions on unexpected challenges and solutions in the collection of datasets, on new and novel datasets of interest to the community, and on experiences and results—explicitly including negative results—in using prior datasets to develop new insights. The workshop aims to bring together a community of application researchers and algorithm researchers in the sensing systems and building domains to promote breakthroughs from integration of the generators and users of datasets. The workshop will foster cross-domain understanding by enabling both the understanding of application needs and data collection limitations. Workshop web page: https://workshopdata.github.io/DATA2020/ Program Chairs: * Gabe Fierro (UC Berkeley, USA) * Mostafa Mirshekari (Stanford University, USA) * Pat Pannuto (UCSD, USA) * Yang Zhao (General Electric Research, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Cloud Continuum Services for Smart IoT Systems (CCIoT)] Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hottest topic in the field of communications and computing. Many cloud providers offers cloud/edge services for IoT, to handle big data, to apply AI technologies, to support massive IoT devices, and to provide low-latency control. At the same time 5G cellular networks have Massive IoT as reference scenario, for which a huge number of smart sensors/actuators must be connected with low latency. Cloud and edge computing on the one and 5G on the other hand push for an IoT cloud continuum aimed at simplifying the integration, development and delivery processes of future, cloud-native, IoT applications, also considering related security and privacy issues. There are many alternatives for cloud and networking services and technologies in forming cloud continuum for IoT. The objectives of this workshop are to create a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss issues in applying cloud/edge computing and AI technologies to IoT systems, in networking IoT devices and federating IoT systems, and in development of IoT services exploiting the computing and networking capabilities of IoT systems, and to set a direction in forming a cloud continuum where IoT systems work together towards well-being of humankind.

Although security was originally viewed as a high-layer problem to be solved using key-based cryptographic techniques, physical-layer security is now emerging as a complementary approach to further enhance secrecy performance. The breakthrough idea of physical-layer security is to exploit the intrinsic characteristics of the wireless channels, such as fading, path loss, or noise, to transmit a message from a source to the intended receiver while keeping confidentiality from both passive and active eavesdroppers. Physical-layer security owns its advantages in terms of no need for distributing/managing secret keys, low computational complexity, and easy implementation in a wireless environment, so it is highly promising for implementing secure communication in sensor systems. Moreover, it will be more advantageous by combining physical-layer and upper-layer security techniques via cross-layer design.

Especially in recent years, Intelligent Cyber-Physical System (ICPS), such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and robots, have emerged for various applications without surveillance by human. Yet, the success, prosperity, and advancement of these intelligent systems strongly depend on the security and safety of the cyber-physical devices, system software, and application software. These systems are prone to suffering from various security and safety issues, such as hardware defects, system and application vulnerabilities, network eavesdropping, side-channel attacks and so on. These successful attacks targeted to the Intelligent CPS do not only affect the security of information but also the safety of system, which may lead to malfunction of systems with severe financial, environmental and health losses. The goal of the 2020 SecICPS workshop is to bring together internationally leading academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results to meet the security and safety requirements of future ICPS’s applications in various fields. Workshop web page: https://secicps.github.io/ Workshop paper submission link: https://secicps2020.hotcrp.com/ Program Chairs: * Jianfeng Ma (Xidian University, China) * Wenjing Lou (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，USA) * Liangmin Wang (Jiangsu University, China) * Jian Weng (Jinan University, China) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [The 2nd International Workshop on Challenges in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Internet of Things (AIChallengeIoT 2020)] Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are key enabling technologies for many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, the collection and processing of data for AI and ML is very challenging in the IoT domain. For example, there are usually a large number of low-powered sensors deployed in large geographical areas with possibly intermittent network connectivity. The sensors and their collected data may be owned by different users or organizations, which can bring further obstacles to data collection due to privacy concerns and noisy labels provided by different users. The successful application of AI/ML approaches in such scenarios with noisy and decentralized data is difficult. In addition, the amount of collected data that can be used for training AI/ML models is usually proportional to the number of users in the system, but the system may not be able to attract many users without a well-trained AI/ML model, and it is challenging to solve this dilemma.

Watson Research Center, USA) * Poonam Yadav (University of York, UK) * Ludmila (Lucy) Cherkasova (ARM Research, USA) * Valerie Liptak (Amazon, USA) * Jorge Ortiz (Rutgers University, USA) * Shaswot Shresthamali (The University of Tokyo, Japan) * Mani Srivastava (University of California, Los Angeles, USA) * Vinesh Sukumar (Intel, USA) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SenSys2020 goes to entirely online: We've been monitoring the progress of COVID-19 pandemic. It is a very dynamic target and the risk of mass physical gathering remains high. Putting the wellbeing of the community above all, we, the entire OC and SC, have decided to take SenSys2020 entirely virtual. With the change, we'll also be able to offer a discount registration fee while you worry less about travel restrictions/costs. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contribute your latest research result to the conference! We believe the decision is the best, albeit difficult, for us all, and the local OC members hope sincerely that there will be other opportunities to welcome you all to Japan.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Deadline extended for IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Age of Information and Data Semantics for Sensing, Communication and Control Co-Design in IoT"
by Lars Wolf 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Deadline extended for IEEE IoT Journal SI on "Age of Information and Data Semantics for Sensing, Communication and Control Co-Design in IoT" Datum: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 22:42:12 +0000 Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Antwort an: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on “Age of Information and Data Semantics for Sensing, Communication and Control Co-Design in IoT” Submission deadline extended July 31 A typical Internet-of-Things (IoT) system consists of three major layers: sensing, communication and application (i.e., actuation and control) layers. Nowadays, with the emergence of more and more wireless-networked machine-type applications such as connected autonomous driving and factory automation, this co-design is more urgently desired than ever to meet the stringent quality of service requirement thereof. The 5G wireless network of today has mainly focused on the communication part and strive to reliably achieve low air-interface communication delay, i.e., ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (uRLLC). However, the current uRLLC design is insufficient to characterize the status update quality, therefore the performance of computing and control in IoT networks that rely highly on wireless communications, can hardly be guaranteed. To deal with this challenge, a promising and powerful metric of Age of Information (AoI) has been proposed and studied in recent years. It directly measures the information latency as observed by the control layer, encompassing all factors resulting from the sensing, communication and computation process. Meanwhile, metrics derived from AoI, are being intensively studied recently in the literature in order to better understand and facilitate the convergence. These aspects strongly motivate inter-discipline research across wireless communications, control theory, computing, vertical applications, and etc. This special issue is therefore focused on the AoI-inspired sensing, communication and control co-design in IoT systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ¨ Age of information performance analysis for IoT ¨ Data semantics beyond age of information for timely sensing, computing or control, and etc. ¨ Age of information and control theory for IoT ¨ Age of information and estimation theory for IoT ¨ Age of information and security and privacy for IoT ¨ AI-based information timeliness and data semantics-based optimization for IoT ¨ Age of information and data semantics inspired networking and scheduling for IoT ¨ Age of information and data semantics for vertical applications ¨ Proof-of-concepts and experiments for AoI-inspired sensing, communication and control co-design in IoT Important Dates: Submission Deadline: July 31, 2020 First Review Due: September 30, 2020 Revision Due: November 15, 2020 Second Review Notification: December 15, 2020 Final Manuscript Due: December 30, 2020 Publication Date: 2021 Submission Guidelines: Authors need to follow the manuscript format and an allowable number of pages described at http://ieeeiotj.org/guidelines-for-authors/.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] *The 5th International Conference on Industrial IoT Technologies and Applications (IndustrialIoT 2020)* *Online Conference, December 11-12, 2020.* http://industrialiot-conf.org/ *IndustrialIoT 2020* In recent years, the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, industrial cloud, industrial robot, embedded computing and inexpensive sensors has facilitated industrial Internet of Things (IndustrialIoT) technologies and fostered some emerging applications (e.g., product lifecycle management). IndustrialIoT is the direct motivation and drive for the industrial upgrading (e.g., implementing smart factory of Industrie 4.0). With the support of all kinds of emerging technologies, IndustrialIoT is capable of continuously capturing information from various sensors and intelligent units, securely forwarding all the data to industrial cloud centers, and seamlessly adjusting some important parameters via a closed loop system. Also, IndustrialIoT can effectively detect failures and trigger maintenance processes, autonomously reacting to unexpected changes in production. However, we are still facing some challenges, for example, it is very difficult to capture, semantically analyze and employ data in a coherent manner from heterogeneous, sensor-enabled devices (e.g., industrial equipment, assembly lines, and transport trucks) owing to the lack of measurement tools, collection protocols, standardized APIs and security guidelines. The aim of the conference is to stimulate interaction and convergent among researchers active in the areas of control, communications, industrial robot, industrial cloud, smart sensors and actuators, informatics, mobile computing, and security. All topics are in the context of the IndustrialIoT. *Important Dates: Full Paper Submission deadline* *Submission Date: July 22, 2020* Notification to Authors: August 26, 2020 Camera Ready Submission: October 30, 2020 *Submission* Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format: (see Author’s kit section: http://industrialiot-conf.org/submission/#authorskit).
