September 28-30, 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: June 1, 2020* Notification to Authors: July 13, 2020 Camera Ready Submission: August 11, 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).

Sensor and actuator networks consist of multiple devices that are usually sparsely distributed and need to operate in an autonomic and energy-efficient manner. These networks have been the focus of interest of both academia and industry during the past few years, given their large application scope both in the military and civilian fields, ranging from environmental monitoring, body area networks for healthcare, to vehicular networks for road safety, and support for communications in the battle field. This interest is ever increasing now, with the gamut and diversity of sensors, devices and systems that are being connected to the Internet of Things transforming the way we live and work and making for smart cities and smart industries. Important challenges that need to be addressed include spectrum allocation and technology coexistence, autonomy and self-healing capabilities, and security, to name just a few. The Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium at GC 2020 aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on the state-of-the-art solutions related to Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of the topics listed below (but not limited to). Topics of interest for the AHSN Symposium include, but are not limited to: - Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks and their Applications - Protocols, architectures and applications for the Internet of Things - Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications in Ad Hoc Networks - Standardization for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks - Aerial Ad Hoc Networks - Underwater and Underground Sensor Networks - Delay Tolerant Networks and Opportunistic Ad Hoc Networking - Body Area Networks - Nano Ad hoc Networks - Software Defined Networking for Multi-Hop Networks - Ultra-Wide Band Technology for Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks - Cognitive Radio Networks in Multi-hop Environments - Co-existence Issues of Heterogeneous Ad Hoc Networks - MAC and Routing Protocols for Ad Hoc networks - QoS Provisioning for Ad Hoc Networks - Data Aggregation and Dissemination in Multi-hop Networks - Security, Privacy and Trust issues in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Energy Saving, Power Control and Energy Scavenging for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Cross-layer Design in Ad Hoc Networks - Service Discovery for Multi-hop Networks - Pricing, Modeling and Solutions for Multi-Hop Networks - Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Ad Hoc Networks - Experimental Prototypes and Testbeds for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks - Crowd Sensing and Crowd Sourcing Networks - Machine Learning and/or Game Theoretical Models for Ad hoc and Sensors Networks - Energy-efficient Design for Green Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks -------------------------------------------- Symposium Chairs Vojislav Misic, Shibo He, Hyunbum Kim -------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Network-assisted Collaborative Automated Driving Workshop, Victoria, Canada Datum: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 11:32:58 -0700 Von: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> Antwort an: Hongsheng Lu <hlu(a)US.TOYOTA-ITC.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, We sincerely invite you to submit work to the workshop on Network-assisted Collaborative Automated Driving which will be held in conjunction with VTC-Fall 2020 at Victoria, Canada. Paper Submission Deadline: May 18, 2020 Acceptance Notification: June 8, 2020 Final Paper Submission: June 29, 2020 Paper submission: https://vtc2020-fall-rr.trackchair.com/track/1909 Workshop Dates: October 4, 2020 Call for Papers As cars become increasingly automated and connected, it is anticipated travelling will be safer and more efficient. However, the natural segregation of the two vehicle technology areas has been dragging our pace towards that goal. Vehicular communications, or V2X, which enable vehicles to exchange information in real time with each other and with other road participants in a range of a few hundreds of meters, offers opportunities to augment individual vehicles’ understanding of the environment and to cooperate with the traffic in a more cohesive manner. But its protocol design has largely been independent of actual automated/autonomous driving applications. On the other hand, vehicle automation, a domain used to leverage a vehicle’s own sensor suit to sense and operate, hasn’t gotten many algorithms to handle over the air input of different granularities regarding the environment. Novel cooperative automated driving applications leveraging V2X data are needed. This dedicated workshop concerns the most recent advancements in wireless communications, sensory technologies and information processing. It aims to advance solutions combining the power of wireless communications and traditional vehicle automation for a safer, more efficient automated/autonomous vehicle. Challenges, opportunities and benefits of performing research in this interdisciplinary domain will be analyzed and highlighted. The workshop will invite distinguished speakers. It is expected to be interactive. The technical areas of the workshop include, but not limited to 1) V2X communication protocol design, testing and evaluation 2) V2X assisted/enhanced applications 3) Vehicular cooperative sensory fusion 4) Cooperative automated driving, path planning and control 5) Network-augmented ADAS *Paper Submission Guidelines* Original papers are solicited. Papers must have not been published nor be submitted for publication elsewhere. The workshop Technical Program Committee will review all papers and make selection based on the quality of the submission and its relevance to the workshop scope. Workshop papers will be subject to the same formatting and length requirements as papers for the regular technical sessions of VTC 2020-Fall (5-page limit for paper submissions, plus a maximum of 2 additional pages for $100 per page for the final version).
