-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IUAV 2020 - 2nd International Workshop on Internet of Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles - COVID-19 update Datum: Tue, 24 Mar 2020 12:59:49 +0100 Von: Raheeb Muzaffar <muzaffar(a)LAKESIDE-LABS.AT> Antwort an: muzaffar(a)LAKESIDE-LABS.AT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Important announcement regarding Coronavirus/COVID-19 IEEE has been monitoring the developing Coronavirus, COVID-19. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, the Organizing Committee of IEEE SECON 2020, in concert with the Steering Committee and IEEE, has decided that the conference will run as a virtual conference (i.e., using remote audio/video support) and not as an in-person event. Authors will be required to present their paper remotely, according to IEEE policies and procedures about publication(s). Attendees will still be able to enjoy the presentations and interact with the authors remotely. We will communicate the details of the specific audio/video tools we will be using, as well as, the scheduling and format of paper presentations and other conference events. A registration will still be required for all authors and conference attendees; we are currently re-defining this aspect. For this reason, the registration deadline originally communicated to authors of accepted papers is postponed to a later date. However, the deadline for the camera-ready version remains the same. We will soon post further updates about the reconfiguration of other aspects of the conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Wi-DroIT 2020 – 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Drones over Internet of Things Datum: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 21:01:39 -0500 Von: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Francesco Betti Sorbelli <francesco.betti.sorbelli(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Wi-DroIT 2020 – 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Drones over Internet of Things May 25-27, 2020 Due to the pandemic, DCOSS 2020 Workshops will be held in an online manner, without physical attendance. Still, all accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Proceedings as planned, in the same volume with the main event. Reduced registration fees will apply. Link: https://sites.google.com/view/widroit2020 in conjunction with the: 16th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2020) Workshop papers will get 8 pages in the IEEE proceedings, in the same volume with the DCOSS papers. Important Dates Submission: April 30, 2020 Notification: May 30, 2020 Camera Ready: June 10, 2020 In the last few years, Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), have developed rapidly and have been used for emergent applications that range from inspection, surveillance, agriculture, cargo delivery, and communications. The symbiosis between UAVs and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) started quite naturally: UAVs perform remote sensing, act as data-mule that carry the data collected by the WSN. Evolving WSN in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, single or multiple Drones/UAVs can cooperatively provide services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted. For this workshop, we search for papers that combine design of algorithms, optimization, and test-bed to develop the theoretical foundations for the UAV systems operating in symbiosis with WSN in IoT applications. The numerous emergent applications nurtured by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, machine learning. Possible topics are: Autonomous WSN via Drones Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones Build Remote Sensing Networks via Drones Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT Precision Agriculture Monitoring crops Controlling bugs in Agriculture Drones for environment monitoring Autopilot and UAS autonomy UAV mission planning, path planning, and scheduling Parcel delivery using Drones 4G-5G networks and UAVs Constraints and multiobjective optimization problems in UAVs Ground Localization with Drones Cooperative control of multiple UAVs UAV secure communication techniques Optimal UAV deployment strategies Experimental results, simulators and test beds for drone networks Single UAV Applications Multi-UAV Applications Human Rights and Drones Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to Wi-DroIT topics of interest. Please use the US letter size (8.5 X 11 in) standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word template available on the link below: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html All submissions should be written in English and submitted as a full paper.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP SCIRS 2020 - Extended Deadline - International Workshop on Smart Computing,for Industrial and Real-World Systems, co-located with Smart Comp Datum: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:16:14 +0100 Von: Carlo Giannelli <gnncrl(a)UNIFE.IT> Antwort an: Carlo Giannelli <gnncrl(a)UNIFE.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *SCIRS - International Workshop on Smart Computing for Industrial and Real-World Systems** *http://lia.deis.unibo.it/SCIRS/ Extended deadline! * - Paper Registration Deadline: 29 March 2020 (mandatory)* - Paper Submission Deadline: 5 April 2020 The committee is aware of the COVID-19 situation and considering all the alternative options. We are considering to permit *remote participation/presentation to the conference, postponing the conference to the autumn or moving the conference to another location*, in case unsafe travel conditions to Italy still persist. --- The spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial environments has fostered the development of new Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and, more in general, the advent of the Industry 4.0 revolution. The current trend is towards the development of connected machines able to interact with each other as well as to send data and access cloud and Internet services. In particular, real-world industrial use cases are usually characterized by stricter Quality of Service (QoS) requirements compared with traditional IoT applications, especially in terms of reduced latency, limited (or no) packet loss, wide and guaranteed bandwidth. Moreover, the integration of consolidated Operational Technology (OT) processes and relatively novel Information Technology (IT) services poses novel challenging issues in terms of safety and security (e.g., cyber-attacks could compromise the functionalities of machines also representing a risk for human operators). Smart components and services within industrial environments represent a novel and promising solution not only to better support QoS requirements, but also to more easily reconcile safety requirements of OT with the openness and dynamicity typical of the IT. Moreover, the emergence of edge devices equipped with relatively high computational, memory, and storage capabilities facilitates the adoption of these technologies. They are not only able to increase the efficiency of existing industrial processes, e.g., by more promptly identifying faulty machines to reduce the downtime and maximize OLE/OEE KPIs, but also to provide new business opportunities, e.g., by widening the market offering industrial equipment based on pay-per-use fees. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in or working on innovative solutions for smart services in industrial environments. Experimental use cases based on real-world testbeds are particularly welcome. Topics of interests include but are not limited to: * Real-world industrial shifting from Cloud to Fog computing * Novel architectures for smart computing * Middleware platforms for real-world industrial smart computing * Integration between mobile systems and industrial smart infrastructures * ML/AI and Edge computing in real-world shop floors * Machine-to-machine communication, integration, and cooperation * IoT systems for smart industrial applications * Cyber-resiliency of industrial applications * IT/OT integration and security * Blockchain in industrial environments * 5G for industrial business cases * Innovative business models for real-world industrial smart computing Paper submissions should be no longer than 6 pages (including references) and formatted according to the IEEE conference template. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS at https://edas.info/N27132 as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. All presented papers will be published in the SmartComp2020 conference proceedings and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. All accepted papers will be EI indexed.

März 2020 08:10:46 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP InThingS: workshop on IoT and AI, submission deadline on March 29th 1st International Workshop on "Intelligent Things and Services" ( InThingS 2020) [ http://inthings2020.unict.it/ | http://inthings2020.unict.it ] Jointly held with IEEE WoWMoM 2020, Cork, Ireland, 15-18, June 2020 [ http://www.cs.ucc.ie/wowmom2020/ | http://www.cs.ucc.ie/wowmom2020/ ] Building on the success of eight editions of the IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services (IoT-SoS), this year we propose a workshop that looks ahead towards a vibrant future where a new level of awareness arises from the IoT devices thanks to context, cooperation, and federation, leading to a new revolution of Intelligent Things and Services ( InThingS ) that will re-shape technology and society. The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the evolution of the future Internet by connecting people anytime and everywhere, as well as inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. This year we want to shed light on the use of machine learning tools to support services and perform resource management in intelligent IoT scenarios. The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application, and implementation of the Internet of Things concept with a specific focus on the use of machine learning and/or artificial intelligence techniques on technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel ML/AI for IoT devices and services: applications, services, business processes, and enabling standards and technologies - ML/AI techniques for devices with limited capabilities in terms of computation, memory, storage, connectivity or energy, e.g., compressed models and federated learning - Distributed cloud technologies and algorithms; in-network computing - System architectures and reference platforms enabling intelligent things and services - Modeling and simulation of large-scale scenarios of IoT devices and services with embedded intelligence - Testbeds, prototypes, and pilots for evaluation of intelligent things and services in a realistic environment - Solutions to increases trust in IoT devices and services: security, privacy, governance, ownership, and accuracy of data and interactions - Ethical issues with regard to the increasing intelligence of IoT devices and services and their large-scale adoption - Flexible and dynamic distribution of intelligence in the thing-to-cloud continuum The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: Technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services.
