The motivating application examples include disaster response, first-responder support, rescue management, extreme environmental monitoring (e.g., monitoring volcanoes, nuclear plants, bio-chemical incidents, or contagious disease outbreaks), and systems that, by their very nature, are subject to frequent adversarial action such as security/anti-theft systems, intrusion detection systems, anti-jamming systems, and defense systems. A common thread across the above systems is the need for high resilience in the face of a broad array of threats, human or environmental. By soliciting original research on attaining resilient and dependable operation in such a broad spectrum of harsh IoT application contexts, the workshop aims to help the research community collectively distill fundamental insights, key concepts, best practices, and analytical foundations to support the next generation of IoT services for mission-critical applications in adversarial environments. Challenges such as heterogeneity, scale, and fast-evolving dynamics are of great interest. Contributions may include but are not limited to, attainment of resilient performance-assurances in the face of threats, adaptation to meet goals despite perturbations and model uncertainties, accurate learning in adversarial conditions, adversarial machine learning, formal verification of machine learning, optimization under uncertainty, and resilient cyber-physical-human information fusion of contaminated inputs. Workshop Website: https://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-internet-things-adversarial-e… Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. The reviews will be single blind. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop.

Datum: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 10:27:46 +0000 Von: Syed Ali Hassan <0000003c60556067-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Ali Hassan <ali.hassan(a)SEECS.EDU.PK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 5th International Workshop on Communications for Networked Smart Cities (CorNer) *in Conjunction with IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Spring) 2019, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia* _________________________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: The demands for high data rates and ultra-reliable coverage become demanding issues due to increase number of population in the world by 2020. The huge demand for high quality life makes the administrator and the governments to put carefully planning in cities in a smarter way. As a premier agent for stimulating a quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city phenomenon has recently seized the imagination of the academia and the industry significantly. As the Internet of things (IoT) and Tactile Internet are predictable to be a primary driving force for future cities, advanced communication methods will play a crucial role in assisting real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, smart cities will also have to function within the limitations of the national economy and available resources. Consequently, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many and varied. In general, low energy consumption, constrained bandwidth, latency and budgetary limitations are predominate. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new ideas and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral, latency and monetary terms are presented to achieve a robust environment monitoring and sustainable transportation network, among other provisions. This led the researchers to pave the way for future wireless networks under the umbrella of 5G communications as well. This is an amalgamation of a multitude of technologies ranging from device-level algorithms such as low power transmissions to system-level architectures such as software-defined networking (SDN), the challenges posed by each of these techniques are critical. The smart city idea is also known to work at the intersection of various techniques such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter wave (mmWave) communications, full-duplex transmissions and Internet of Things (IoT) to name a few. The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts with interest in emerging smart cities related areas. The recent advancement in smart cities has boosted the development of a new generation of highly-efficient mobile networks. After the successful editions of this workshop in renowned venues, this workshop will highlight the recent developments in this evolving area. It will provide a platform for exchanging new ideas and research collaboration. Topic are not limited to the following areas: *5G oriented smart cities *Big data and cloud computing in smart cities *Internet of things and automation in smart cities *Cognitive radio in smart cities, and ultra-dense network *Energy harvesting technologies and communications *Communication in smart grid and green communications and computing *Novel network architecture design *Resource-efficient cross-layer optimization *Cooperative communications, mmWave and Massive MIMO design for transmissions *Energy-efficiency and spectral-efficiency *Antennas design and channel modeling *Machine-to-machine communications and Smart Drones Communications *Safety, security, and privacy for smart Cities *Smart transportation systems and infrastructure (V2V, V2I) *Applications, deployments, test-beds and experimental experience for communications in smart cities Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE VTC-Spring 2019 Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] SIGCOMM 2019 Submission Deadline Approaching Datum: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 23:30:12 +0800 Von: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> Antwort an: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPER AT SIGCOMM 2019 The ACM SIGCOMM 2019 conference seeks papers making significant research contributions to the field of data communication networks and networked systems. The conference takes a broad view of networking research, which includes new ideas relating (but not limited) to: . Different network types, layers, and devices: o Wide-area, data-center, home, enterprise o Sensors and Internet of Things o Network access in remote or under-served areas o Wireless and mobility o Routers, middleboxes, network functions, end-host network stacks o Link and transport layers o Applications, including distributed systems and social networks o Virtual networks and SDNs o Future network architectures: clean slate and evolution . Aspects and properties of networks: o Correctness and performance o Security and privacy o Fault tolerance o Energy consumption o Usability o Emergent properties o Management o Resource allocation, provisioning and planning o Economics o Topology . Different evaluation methods: o Theory o Experiments o Measurement o Deployment and experience We expect submissions to be daring and emphasize novelty and creativity. We recognize that more novel concepts can be harder to fully develop and evaluate, and the review process will take this into account. We encourage authors to discuss the limitations of their ideas in addition to the benefits. Unlike some previous years, SIGCOMM 2019 will not have a separate experience track. However, we do encourage the submission of experience papers, particularly from industry, that provide detailed technical insight into real-world deployments of novel networking technologies and systems. In addition to the main conference, SIGCOMM 2019 will have a series of co-located workshops, tutorials, poster and demo sessions, a travel grant program, and conference best paper and SIGCOMM awards. For more information about SIGCOMM 2019, please see https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/. Submissions Submissions should report novel results that are supported by experimentation, deployment, simulation, or analysis. Submissions must be in 2-column, 10-point format and can be up to 12 pages long, with as many additional pages as necessary for references. New in 2019: Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, also not counting against the 12 pages). Appendices will not be considered in reviews, so we caution authors to ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. (For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result.) For accepted papers, the shepherd will review appendices and must approve their need. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, code, etc. Detailed submission instructions can be found https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2019/submission.html. Ethical Concerns New in 2019: All papers must include, in the main body of the paper, a statement about ethical issues. This could be simply the sentence "This work does not raise any ethical issues." If the work involves human subjects or any potentially sensitive data (e.g., user traffic or social network information, evaluation of censorship, etc), the paper should clearly discuss these issues, perhaps in a separate subsection. Papers must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms. These include: respect for privacy, secure storage of sensitive data, voluntary and informed consent if users are placed at risk, avoiding deceptive practices when not essential, beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing potential harms to an individual), and risk mitigation. Authors may want to consult the Menlo Report for further information on ethical principles, and they may find the Allman/Paxson paper in IMC 2007 helpful for a perspective on ethical data sharing. Many organizations have an ethics review process (sometimes called an Institutional Research Board, IRB). In some cases, research work may clearly have no human subjects, and formal institutional review may not be required. (However, a sentence in the paper stating this evaluation is still required.) In many cases, IRB involvement is appropriate. IRB approval of research is an important factor (and should be mentioned), but the TPC will still evaluate ethical soundness of the work, just as they evaluate technical soundness. If there are questions about the ethics process, please contact the program committee co-chairs. The PC takes a broad view of what constitutes an ethical concern, and the TPC chairs may reach out to authors during the review process if questions arise. Research Reproducibility ACM is promoting research reproducibility by encouraging papers to document the artifacts needed for others to reproduce their work. ACM has details at https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging. They will award accepted papers a "reproducibility badge" if the paper provides pointers to public code and other information as described at the above link. Authors who wish to participate in this process should document such information in an appendix to the paper. Information about reproducibility is not required at paper submission, but is required at camera ready. As an appendix, it will need to be provided to the shepherd with adequate time for review. While we encourage authors to participate, formal participation is not a factor in SIGCOMM reviewing. Important dates January 24, 2019, Abstract submission deadline January 31, 2019, Paper submission deadline May 10, 2019, Reviews returned to authors June 20, 2019, Camera-ready papers due August 19, 2019, Conference ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
