Deadline: 1 August 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At present, COVID-19 is a major global public health challenge. Worse, this epidemic could last for 2 years, according to US experts. To address it, scientific research institutions attempt to actively leveraged networking technologies to fight the epidemic disease, which have effectively improved the efficiency of epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. For example, in order to make full use of the resources of medical experts, the remote consultation system, supporting live-streaming video and telemedicine by 5G, cloud computing, blockchain and other networking-related technologies, has been quickly implemented in many hospitals all over the word. Although networking technologies have played an important role in the epidemic prevention and control, new challenges arise when billions of people around the world have been ordered to stay at home to help curb the epidemic disease. As the virus spread, the networking demand for HD video conferencing and online teaching has skyrocketed. Moreover, many streaming services — like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, have reduced the quality of their streams to reduce strain on the Internet. Therefore, more advanced networking technologies should be deeply investigated and implemented to help us with fighting COVID-19. This special issue aims to explore recent advances and disseminate state-of-the-art research on advanced networking technologies for epidemic monitoring, virus tracking, prevention, control and treatment, and resource allocation. The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Advanced networking technologies in public health management - Advanced networking technologies for telemedicine, remote diagnosis and treatment - Cloud-based/Edge-based networking services for online working and learning - Stable heterogeneous networking access for medical information transmission - Edge/mobile computing for detecting and tracking infections - Mobility-aware networking services and applications for epidemic monitoring, prevention and control - Crowdsourcing-based approaches for virus testing and research - Soft caching, proactive caching and other approaches for content-orient networking services - Privacy and security of the medical information transmission The papers for rigorous and well-coordinated peer-review process will be collected through the Manuscript Central System <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnse-cs> for *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering*. *Submission Guidelines* Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically, adhering to the *IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering* guidelines <https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tnse/ieee-transactions-ne…>.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Al-Sakib Khan Pathan <sakib.pathan(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 20. Juni 2020 18:03:12 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP), Taipei, Taiwan, December 2020 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Call For Papers* IEEE GLOBECOM 2020 Workshop on V2X Technologies and Advanced Security/Privacy (V2X&ASP) 7-11 December 2020 // Taipei, Taiwan URL: https://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-14-workshop-v2x-technolo… Unlike existing driving and transportation frameworks, new paradigm shifts and vertical technological revolution in vehicular services have emerged toward unmanned driving, automated transportation, and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). In addition to equipping with advanced environmental sensing/reasoning apparatuses (e.g., high definition (HD) cameras, three-divisional (3D) panorama videos, point-cloud scanners, or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scanners) to facilitate autonomous driving, the next-generation driving vehicles may also rely on mobile network infrastructures to achieve ubiquitous and prompt information exchanges. For example, all-optical indicators (such as turn signals and brake light on a vehicle, and traffic lights on intersections) may be replaced by wireless signals through device-to-device (D2D) transmissions. Vehicles may also exchange their perception data or maneuver plans with other vehicles, or acquire information (such as 3D scenes at interactions) from remote cloud servers or road-site units (RSUs) though mobile networks. To align with this trend, 3GPP has released the service requirements to sustain the next-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications in June 2018, which include 28 use cases to involve advanced driving, remote control, vehicle platooning and extended sensors. To support all these use cases, the service requirements of V2X may include extremely high throughput (for 3D panorama videos or point-cloud data), low latency (maneuver data for platooning), high reliability (control signals for remote driving), aperiodic transmissions (for emergency trajectory alignment), and high connection density. Since August 2018, 3GPP has launched the normative works of New Radio (NR) V2X and enhanced ultra-reliable and low latency communication (eURLLC) in 3GPP Release 16. To satisfy these unprecedented V2X requirements, several new features will be introduced in both academic research and industrial practice, including new system architecture of V2X (e.g., mobile edge computing, cloud/fog networks, 3GPP local area data network, network slicing, software-defined network, etc.), new radio access schemes (e.g., millimeter-wave access, sidelink transmissions, URLLC, massive connections), harmonization among various technologies (e.g., point-cloud compression, multi-view video, 3D vision, environmental perception/cognition, machine learning and artificial intelligent), and new designs for security. The Internet of Things evolution has given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart cities, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). The proliferation of IoV-based applications magnifies the importance and irreplaceability of IoV. Considering the dynamic nature of entities in the IoV, there are a series of challenges including security, privacy, decentralization, trust management, and so on. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, we use Vehicle to Vehicle/Others (V2V/V2X) communication to complement on-board sensor inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on sensor data is vulnerable to data. Malicious actors tend to inject false data or alter communication among normal vehicles. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art innovations, research activities (both in academia and industry), and the corresponding standardization impacts of V2X for the next generation driving paradigm, to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost and enrich activities in the area of V2X. This workshop will also provide a forum for exchanging ideas and networking experts/researchers/engineers/students involved in the emerging field of V2X. We want to collate and publish consolidated research results focusing on analyzing security and privacy threats, applying cutting-edge technologies to provide secure and privacy-preserving communications in the relevant fields. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of the area.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine - Call for Articles for a Special Issue Security, Trust and Privacy Solutions for Intelligent Internet of Vehicular Things (IIoVT) Datum: Fri, 19 Jun 2020 14:51:23 -0400 Von: Uttam Ghosh <uttam.ghosh(a)VANDERBILT.EDU> Antwort an: Uttam Ghosh <uttam.ghosh(a)VANDERBILT.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine - Call for Articles for a Special Issue Security, Trust and Privacy Solutions for Intelligent Internet of Vehicular Things (IIoVT) The Internet of Things evolution have given birth to several new groundbreaking applications, such as Internet of Vehicles, smart cities, and cyber physical systems. In Internet of Vehicles (IoV), the vehicles include various smart devices to obtain and communicate information from surroundings. This information can be helpful in safe navigation, detecting hurdles, optimizing routes, and in traffic management. For efficient decision making, in IoVs, V2V and V2X communication have been used to compliment on-board sensors inputs and provide better services. A key concern when relying on vehicle data is vulnerability to data. Therefore, the need is to discuss the solutions that provide Security, Trust and Privacy (STP) to both communicating entities and secure vehicle data from malicious entities. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in multidimensional makes them useful for Internet of Vehicular Things. An Intelligent IoVT (IIoVT) gives the desired results in the given time constraints with less human efforts. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for engineers, researchers, industrial experts and other stakeholders to appraise recent developments in the field and address related challenges in IIoVT. Contributions related to the practical, theoretical and engineering aspects of developing and deploying IIoVT are welcome on any applications of interest for the domain of CE.

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.

City planners and traffic operators could use these simulations to explore transportation what-if scenarios, e.g., investment in a new motorway. Driver-level simulation (microscopic) has been shown to be the most accurate approach; however, it is considered too computationally expensive to be deployed in Intelligent Transportation products. Macroscopic simulations on the other hand take into account spatial density and velocity on road segments, and use various flow management methods to propagate the load of vehicles to the next segments. The simplicity of the macroscopic models makes it less expensive in term of processing power required than more complex simulation models. However, they are not as accurate as microscopic simulation models. This special session will explore new advances in these two models (as well as hybrid models) of traffic simulation. We are looking for contributions that describe novel techniques, new applications, interesting applications etc. List of Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Microscopic and macroscopic models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Discrete and Continuous models; • Traffic modeling and engineering; • Mobility modeling and management; • Automatic performance analysis; • Measurement architectures and systems; • Predictive performance models; • Evaluation and Simulation tools; • Validation through modeling and prototyping.
