The key idea is to provide a higher level of automation by combining technologies such as Industrial IoT (IIoT), cloud computing, machine learning (ML) and advanced robotics to enable the creation of interconnected, responsive, intelligent and self-optimizing manufacturing processes and systems. The increased automation can: 1. Significantly enhance "operational efficiency" through real-time process analytics or even end-to-end process control. 2. Significantly enhance "overall productivity" by realizing zero-downtime through proactive maintenance via the implementation of ‘digital twins'. Implementation of either real-time process analytics or digital twining is geared to generate a huge volume of heterogeneous data flows. Consequently, the design of communication interfaces to support inter-connectivity must be optimized to enable convergence between legacy operations technology (OT) and next-generation IIoT. This special issue solicits original research papers focused on Design and Analysis of: 1. Ultra-reliable Low-Latency Connectivity Interfaces for IIoT Networks 2. Spectrum Management and Coexistence Issues for IIoT Networks 3. Architecture and Protocols for IIoT Networks 4. Novel ML methods for implementing Self-X capabilities in IIoT Networks 5. Resource Allocation and Management for IIoT Networks 6. Security, Privacy and Trust issues in IIoT deployments 7. Interoperability and Convergence Issues for legacy OT and IIoT Networks 8. Application and Deployment Specific Issues for IIoT Networks *Submission Guidelines* All submissions have to be prepared according to the Information for Authors as published in the Journal website and must be submitted via EDAS. *Important Dates* Manuscript Due: 15th July 2019 (Final Deadline) Acceptance Notification: 30 September 2019 Final Manuscript Due: 15 November 2019 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: First/Second Quarter 2020 *Guest Editors* Syed A.

October 22-25, 2019* *Call for Papers:* Precision agriculture is becoming as one of the most important tool to satisfy the ever-increasing worldwide demand for food products of good quality. Agriculture needs to be enhanced by new technologies in order to make it sustainable in a smart way. In the last few years, several Internet of Things (IoT)-based products dedicated to farming have appeared, but there are still some remaining issues, ranging from data acquisition, interpretation, and reliable collection in some potentially harsh radio environments. The last few decades have witnessed the advancement of the IoT and multiple wireless sensor networks (WSNs), in both the academic and industrial worlds The use of IoT platform and Remote Sensing Data (RSD) to schedule irrigation and fertilization and predict yield may contribute to a more sustainable agriculture in regions of the Mediterranean where irrigation and fertilization are not optimized in terms of timing and quantity. IoT platforms allow a network of devices to communicate, gather data and process information collaboratively in the service of individuals or processes. Technologies can help farmers to practice a more sustainable agriculture, minimizing risks of losing the harvest by providing the resources (water irrigation and fertilizer) needed to secure yield and at the adequate periods. In addition, prediction of grain yield via RSD has additional applications. Remote Sensing Data may help to yield forecasts before harvest and therefore to predict farmers income. Furthermore, the use of software programs is indispensable for the interpretation of the data derived from the Remote Sensing Technologies and then to make decisions of applications in crop fields. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on on high quality, up-to-date innovative original current advances in solutions and research for smart and sustainable agriculture, ranging from IoT, WSN, efficient sensing, cloud/edge computing, smart actuators, etc. *Topics of interest * ============== Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas: · Sensor network deployment for smart agriculture · Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture · Farm services and oriented applications for agri-food systems · Cost-effective sensor development for agriculture · Cloud computing for agriculture · Smart applications for crops monitoring and management · Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for agriculture · Sensors for positioning, navigation, and obstacle detection · New Technologies in Field: A Rapid and Usefulness Tool for Accurate Management of Crops · Remote Sensing Data and Water Irrigation Scheduling · Remote Sensing Data and Fertilization Planning: Adequate Time and Localisation · Use of Remote Sensing Technologies for a Rapid Diseases Localisation in Fields · Remote Sensing Technologies and Plant Breeding (Phenotyping to Water Deficit): Selection of varieties (Tolerant/Susceptible) · Remote Sensing Data and its Influences in Farmers Decisions) · Software and Programs Used in Processing Remote Sensing Data · Statistics Tools: Interpretation of Information Derived from Remote Sensing Data for Making Decision *Paper Submission : * ============= Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience.

Juli 2019 17:19:21 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 2nd Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) ====================================================== DFSD 2019 The 2nd Int. Workshop on Distributed Fog Services Design (DFSD) Co-located with 20th Int. ACM/IFIP Middleware Conference (MIDDLEWARE 2019) December 9-13 2019, UC Davis, CA http://www.dilute.no/dfsd CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================================================== Smart spaces, such as smart cities and smart buildings, are proliferating into a massive scale, thereby, Internet of Things (IoT) data, services and applications are being pressed to move to the Cloud. IoT Cloud integration can enable ubiquitous cyber-physical services and powerful processing of IoT data beyond the capability of individual things. This has been recently extended from the core of the network to the edge of the network (i.e., Fog Computing) to address better mobility support, locationawareness and low latency. Therefore, IoT applications will be further distributed throughout the network, including routers and dedicated computing nodes. With this new trend in sight, developing applications using cloud and fog computing resources introduces many challenges with respect to programing, networking, and service abstraction and distribution. In particular, in large-scale IoT applications with massive number of services, the way to model, develop and distributed services at device-, fog-, and cloud-levels is a top priority design challenge in this area. This workshop aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in distributed computing aspects of fog platforms, including middleware-related design concerns. The goal is to present and explore novel approaches and recent results of the research community and the industry bodies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Fog computing distributed architectures and frameworks - Fog-level task and service modeling and distribution - Large-scale deployments and Fog - Distributed resource management models for Fog - Machine learning for Fog mobility and resource allocation - Cloud and Fog integration - Middleware for Fog infrastructures - Programming models and abstractions for Fog - Dynamic programming models for Fog - Fog mobility - Performance (low latency and scalability) - Heterogeneity and Interoperability of Fog devices *Organizers* Amir Taherkordi, University of Oslo, Norway Schahram Dustdar, TU Wien, Austria *Important Dates* Paper submissions: Aug. 23, 2019 Notification:Sep. 30, 2019 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Mobile and social sensing is becoming a paradigm for collecting observations of the physical phenomena, either directly from human observers, or by means of crowd-sourcing the data measurement tasks using sensors in the smart phones or various other wearables (e.g., Google Glass, Apple Watch, and Fitbit devices). It thus involves massive amount of sensory data collection and/or dissemination where humans can act as sensor carriers (e.g., carrying GPS sensors that share location data), sensor operators (e.g., taking pictures and videos with smart phones), or as sensors themselves (e.g., sharing their observations on social media). This emerging field faces new challenges in data collection, dissemination, fusion, and mining; cognitive modeling; computational social and behavior science; information and coding theory; information processing and knowledge discovery; data dissemination and forwarding, reliability, privacy, and security; and cyber-physical-systems with human-in/on-the-loop. This special issue invites technical papers on both theoretical contributions and systems describing original ideas, exciting results, and real-world experiences in the context of mobile and social sensing. This special issue will focus on (but not be limited to) the following topics: + Mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sensing + Social sensing and social networks as sensor networks + Crowd/participatory and opportunistic sensing + Rural sensing + Urban sensing and smart city + Reliability, privacy, and security in mobile and social sensing + Sensing unstructured data in mobile/social domain + Modeling, analysis, fusion, and mining of social and mobile sensing data + Theory, algorithms, systems, and experiments pertaining to mobile/social sensing + Ubiquitous, mobile, and pervasive information processing and knowledge discovery + Mobile and Social Sensing Applications (i.e., Social Internet of Things, Social Internet of Vehicles) + Data mining in Mobile and Social Sensing Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

Papadopoulos <georgios.papadopoulos(a)IMT-ATLANTIQUE.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Special Issue on Industrial Internet of Things Internet Technology Letters Call for Papers More than one decade ago emerged the Internet of Things (IoT), setting the basis for innovative applications for our everyday life. We have now a large variety of both wired (e.g. IEEE802.1TSN, IEEE802.1Qbu, IEEE802.1Qbv, Detnet) and wireless (e.g. IEEE802.15.4, 6TiSCH, WirelessHART, Z-Wave, WiSUN, WirelessMBUS, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 RTA, LoRa, ETSI LTN, mmWave) technologies to connect more and more smart and uniquely identifiable objects. After providing best-effort connectivity, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) requires a network infrastructure which supports real-time communications. Most critical applications require high-reliability, and an upper-bounded end-to-end latency has to be respected. The Industrial Internet of Things is expected to support many critical applications. Industry 4.0 will rely on wireless and wired infrastructure to interconnect all the actuators, sensors and controllers, even for the control loops. To a greater extent, IIoT is particularly relevant also for e.g. robot control loops, reliable industrial monitoring, critical operation/actuation, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Resilient Systems, Dependable networking, Automated Diagnostics and Predictions; Quality of Service, Quality of Experience, Service Level Agreements; Implementation details and benchmarking of Industrial IoT protocols; Efficient communication protocols for industrial IoT; 5G: architecture, medium access, virtualization; Performance Bounds, Soft/Hard Real-time, Formal Methods; Security: privacy, policy management, IDS; OS and Middleware, industrial cloud; Real-world deployments, Lessons Learnt; Standards-based solutions, Interoperability and Integration; Seamless wired and wireless real-time infrastructure; Handling mobility in industrial networks; Interconnection of legacy and novel network technologies; Applications: reliable monitoring, low latency control, automation, robotics, etc. Manuscript Due Dec 15, 2019 First Round of Reviews March 15, 2020 Revised Paper due May 15, 2020 Final notification July 15, 2020 Guest Editors Georgios Z.

The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders, among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions August 31, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts. Submitted papers should be in accordance with IEEE format, and will be reviewed by at least two expert reviewers in terms of relevance, originality, contribution, correctness, and presentation. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to: * Emerging concepts of IoT Systems * Architectures of IoT systems * Machine-to-Machine Communication and IoT * Modeling of IoT applications * SDN and NFV support for IoT applications and Systems * Fog and Edge support for IoT Applications * 5G support for IoT Applications * IoT for Smart Cities * Energy management in IoT * Design methodologies for IoT * Novel services and applications of IoT to facilitate environmental responsibility * Green by Internet of Things * IoT and Social benefits/impact * IoT Economics and Business Models * Emerging Internet of Things business models and process changes * Communication systems and network architectures for the IoT * IoT and Data Management * Security and privacy of IoT * Reliability of IoT * Disaster recovery in IoT * Applications of Internet of things * Emerging applications and interaction paradigms for everyday citizens * Big data and IoT * Self-organizing IoT * Cloud Computing and IoT * IoT and sustainable Growth *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format (IEEE Templates).
