Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agricultural ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii. On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on *Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture* Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal. Regular manuscript length is 8 pages. *Note: *The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Some papers may be published outside the special section, at the EIC discretion. *Timetable:* *Deadline for manuscript submissions February 25, 2020* *Expected publication date (tentative) July, 2020* *Guest Editors:* l Prof. Lei Shu, Nanjing Agricultural University, China / University of Lincoln, UK lei.shu(a)njau.edu.cn l Dr. Gerhard Petrus Hancke, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China gp.hancke(a)cityu.edu.hk l Dr. Adnan M.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST- IoT) in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2020 Datum: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 11:16:15 +0100 Von: Marica Amadeo <marica.amadeo(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Marica Amadeo <marica.amadeo(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************************************** * Workshop on Pervasive Systems in the IoT era (PERSIST- IoT) * in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2020 April 27, 2020, Beijing, China https://infocom2020.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-pervasive-systems-iot-era ************************************************************************************** * Call for Papers * By leveraging the global interconnection of billions of tiny smart objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is fostering the idea of pervasive Smart Environments (SEs) and Smart Urban Ecosystems, where all the data gathered by the ``Things'' can be elaborated and used to improve the livability, the safety and the security of the environment, and to make inhabitants lives easier. However, despite the research advancements in recent years, many open issues still prevent the full realization of such vision. To meet the requirements of SEs, telecommunication systems should support significantly high data rates, traffic capacity, connection density, energy efficiency, as well as small latency. Being massively distributed into the environment, smart objects may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the cloud or at the network edge. In addition to the traditional pull-based data delivery, push-based and publish/subscribe traffic patterns must be supported. To accommodate newly emerging more demanding services the network infrastructure should be agile, cost effective and possibly softwarized. The satisfaction of security and privacy requirements will play a fundamental role in the SEs; indeed, without effective mechanisms, attacks and malfunctions in the IoT will outweigh any of their benefits. The PERSIST-IoT workshop aims to solicit a collection of innovative papers reporting the most recent advancements in the fields of smart architecture, protocols and practical implementations enabling IoT for smart environments.

Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move.

Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks.
