Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can play an important role in smart agriculture by collecting environmental data. Their ability to carry different type of payloads such as sensors, high definition cameras, antennas, or even sprayers make it a great ally for agriculturalists. In large-scale applications, e.g., wide area farms, forests or even sea farms, a cluster or a network of UAVs is adopted by opening new paths of research and development in a field which is called Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET). FANETs incorporate UAVs and Internet of Things (IoT) as communicating entities for realizing more demanding and large-scale applications. There is no doubt that with the proper collaboration and coordination of multiple UAVs, in a form of FANET, the emerged system would exceed by far the capabilities of a single UAV system. Single UAV systems usually utilize heavier, larger and more expensive UAVs which in case of a fall could pose great danger to human life and property. Using a single UAV, the amount of coverage is limited, while with multi-UAVs the scalability of the operation can be easily extended. Moreover, a failure in singe UAV system means that the whole mission has failed, on the contrary, multiple UAVs can share tasks among themselves, thus the fault tolerant of the system increases significantly. Since the number of applications a single UAV can serve are proportionate to the systems that are installed on its board, it is quite clear that FANETs can server different application in parallel thus reducing significantly the execution time of a mission. It is quite obvious that FANETs can enhance smart farming management process significantly. Prerequisite for their deployment is a network that will guarantee the proper communication between UAVs in order to ensure their efficient collaboration and coordination. FANETs take on the communication among UAV nodes as well as the rest of the nodes (ground sensors, base stations and gateways). Although there are various advantages of FANETs, when compared to single-UAV systems, several challenges are emerged when implementing FANETs in smart farming systems such as the efficient communication and the coordination among the various flying UAVs and among the UAVs and the ground sensors, base stations and gateways. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of FANET in conjunction with smart farming and smart agriculture applications and systems. In the context of this special issue, we intend to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the FANET applications and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the IoT-enabled agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. =Topics= - Real deployments and case studies of FANETs in smart farming. - Regulations and recommendations for FANETs in smart farming applications. - Management of heterogeneous UAVs in FANETs. - Crop models and decision support systems in FANETSs. - Routing models and protocols of FANETs in smart agriculture. - Quality of Service (QoS) in FANET applications. - FANETs-based edge and Fog computing in smart farming. - Coordination of multiple UAVs in smart farming applications and systems. - Communication methods and protocols of FANET UAVs in agricultural domain. - Human-FANETs interaction for smart farming. - Farmers' acceptance and intention to use FANETs. - Big data in agricultural domain using UAVs. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Energy efficiency and management of FANETs in smart farming. - FANET-driven frameworks towards improving the resilience of farming systems. - FANET application in mixed farming systems. - Embedding sensors and actuators on UAVs for smart farming. - UAVs in precise farming in combination with the related climate change mitigation potential. - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in decision-making frameworks for FANETs. - Modern Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques in agriculture for FANETs. - Security issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Privacy issues regarding FANETs in smart farming. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - Schemes and algorithms that enable the participative design of mixed farming and agroforestry systems through UAVs or/and FANETs. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture using UAVs. - FANET applications to increase synergies between crops and livestock. - Smart bandwidth utilization by FANETs in smart farming. - Models and tools adapted to real farm management to grasp the inherent complexity of mixed farming and agroforestry systems using UAVs. *Guest Editors* Panagiotis Sarigiannidis University of Western Macedonia, Greece Email: psarigiannidis(a)uowm.gr Anastasios A.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier COMNET Special Issue on IoT-enabled Smart Farming - Submission April 30, 2019 Datum: Tue, 19 Feb 2019 06:59:23 -0500 Von: Panagiotis Sarigiannidis <000000e99018937f-dmarc-request(a)COMSOC-LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Panagiotis Sarigiannidis <psarigiannidis(a)UOWM.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, *Call For Papers* Special Issue on the big data era in IoT-enabled smart farming: re-defining systems, tools, and techniques Elsevier, Computer Networks https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/big-dat… *Important Dates* Paper submission: April 30, 2019 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2019 Final revision: August 15, 2019 Publication date: Quarter 3, 2019 *Aims & Scope* The continuous generation of data from multiple sources has created numerous opportunities in different domains including agriculture. However, the state of the art in Smart Farming should be redefined and revisited since new technologies and tools are coming in the agriculture domain bringing novel and innovative paths for improving the resilience and the efficiency of agriculture. Smart Farming has started to be materialized and not being simply a vague futuristic concept, as different fields such as image processing and machine learning have found a prosperous area of application. Apart from the technical aspects that Smart Farming presents, it also affects the agricultural sector beyond the conventional farming activities, influencing a series of dependent industries, such as food supply chains, weather and climate change, natural resources management and environmental impact. New and various technologies have invaded the agricultural sector as they can offer new and unprecedented opportunities. Smart Farming uses a combination of technological advances, such as sensors, drones, variable-rate application machinery, satellite navigation and positioning technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. All the aforementioned technologies produce a massive amount of data capable of changing the current status of the agriculture sector, but a series of effective actions have to be developed and established for their efficient exploitation. The Big Data era has arrived for the agriculture sector reflecting its changes to a numerous of research fields. The incorporation and the usage of Geographic Information System (GIS) in the agriculture sector takes place for at least a decade as well as the adoption of sensors for monitoring reasons. Furthermore, driven by advanced GIS technologies, emerging image processing techniques adopt neural networks and deep learning approaches for providing new areas of application in the field of computer vision. Tasks such as crop identification and weed discrimination have become easier than ever thanks to the state-of-the-art classification algorithms. Apart from the advantages image processing techniques offer in the field of agriculture, other related areas have significantly benefited as well. Land mapping, insurance of animal feed quality, weather and climate change studies, grassland identification and earth observation are some of the areas where image processing techniques and algorithms have been successfully applied. The farm industry and Smart Farming expand from the strict limits of the farm location and affect a series of related fields, such as supply chain management, food availability, biodiversity, farmers’ decision making and insurance, environmental studies and various Earth sciences among others. All of the aforementioned fields have significant benefits when they follow a data-driven approach under the condition that the used systems, tools and techniques that will be used have been designed to handle the volume and foremost the variety of the data. Often, smart farming systems are running on unmonitored areas, due to which any attempted or successful breaches go unreported. Worse, since this sector is traditionally not cybersecurity aware, security and privacy by design is not incorporated into the solution requirements. For example, security attacks are feasible by gaining access to irrigation control systems of either a plant or a farm. In the most cases, IoT devices and systems can be manipulated and personal data can be disclosed without the farmer knowing. Even worse, adversaries can gain access to other connected third-party systems, e.g., energy, administration and irrigation systems. This Special Issue seeks to make an in-depth, critical contribution to this evolving field of agriculture in the era of Big Data. We therefore aim to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions towards providing new insights in the application and benefits of the emerging methods and technologies in the Big Data-driven agriculture sector. The topics that can be addressed include (but are not limited to) the following ones. =Systems= - Cloud- and edge-based systems in smart farming. - Management of heterogeneous Big Data in smart farming. - Crop models and decision support systems in smart farming. - Study of man–machine dialogue systems. - Data-driven methods for anomaly detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. - Role of Big Data in sustainable agriculture. - Big data innovation in sustainable agriculture. - Environmental Big Data integration. - Smart Farming and its application in Big Data processing. - Big data in agricultural disaster management. - Cyber threats and anomaly detection in smart farming. - Data privacy preserving systems in smart farming. - Deep packet inspection in security systems for Smart Farming applications. =Tools= - IoT tools and techniques for sustainable agriculture. - Emerging tools for precision agriculture. - Big data analysis tools and machine learning techniques in Smart Farming tools. - Big data online stream processing for precision agriculture and Smart Farming - Machine learning applications in improving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Smart Farming. - Statistical analysis and modeling in Smart Farming applications. - Geospatial analysis in Smart Farming applications. - Advanced image processing techniques and applications in the agricultural domain. - Spectral matching tools in Smart Farming. - Intrusion detection tools. - Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools for smart farming monitoring. =Techniques= - Modern GIS and remote sensing techniques in agriculture. - Classification and change detection of cultivated land. - Data mining and statistical issues in precision agriculture. - Intelligent computational techniques in precision agriculture. - Knowledge discovery in agriculture databases. - Cloud-enabled techniques and in-the-field integration for sustainable agriculture. - Network-based analysis in Smart Farming. - Trust-enabling techniques and methods. - Blockchain techniques for ensuring trust amongst IoT devices in Smart Farming. - Network forensics techniques for Smart Farming applications. *Guest Editors* Panagiotis Sarigiannidis University of Western Macedonia, Greece Email: psarigiannidis(a)uowm.gr Thomas Lagkas The University of Sheffield International Faculty - CITY College, Greece Email: t.lagkas(a)sheffield.ac.uk Konstantinos Rantos Technological Educational Institute of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece Email: krantos(a)teiemt.gr Paolo Bellavista University of Bologna, Italy Email: paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Februar 2019 23:43:05 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Secure Cities [Call for Papers] [Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] 2nd ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Networking and Cybersecurity for Smart Cities (Securing Smart Cities) to be held on July 02-05, 2019 at Catania, Italy. https://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2019/workshop-Secure-Cities.html Scope: Cities have been incorporating new technologies for several years, but lately, the rate of technology adoption has increased and cities around the world are becoming connected and smarter. Furthermore, a plethora of networking technologies and connectable devices made it more convenient to build smart ecosystems and connected commodities that can help us predict the Smart Cities to become reality very soon. The key applications could be ranging from Smart Campuses for education, connected Hospitals for better treatment and medical information sharing among doctors & patients, Smart Watering & Gardening systems at the city level to preserve natural resources, smart fishing, Smart & connected transportation systems, and many more to name. Moreover, the Internet of Things (IoT) can bring noticeable efforts to connect various entities yet those efforts are prone to cyber-attacks. Likewise, every new technology and innovation brings new challenges and problems. In this workshop, we are focusing on networking and cybersecurity-related problems that currently affect or will affect cities in general around the world, whether considered smart or not. These problems would impact the city government, residents, and the businesses and other organizations that conduct business there. Keeping in mind the new technologies and life in a smarter city, let’s consider what could happen if one or more technology-reliant services don’t work. What would be commuting looks like with non-functioning traffic control systems, no street lights, and no public transportation? How would citizens respond to an inadequate supply of electricity or water, dark streets, and no cameras? What if garbage collection is interrupted in the summertime and stinks up the streets? We believe it would be unpleasant and cause a lot of chaos in any city. We expect this workshop to be one of the key steps towards gathering researchers and developers to get under one roof and pave through the policy-making and providing interesting insights of the following topics, but not limited to: Topics include, but not limited to: - Networking and Security Framework for Smart Cities - Cyber Security Challenges, Issues, and Solutions - Poor or Nonexistent Security Issues - Encryption Issues - Privacy Issues in Smart Cities - Cybersecurity Policies and Standards - Computer Emergency Response Maneuvers - Protection Against Large and Complex Cyber Attacks - Patch Deployment Issues - Secure integration of IoT /CPS and other networks - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Techniques - Secure Data Storage, Communications, and Computing - Heterogeneous System Modeling for Smart City Security - Insecure Legacy Systems - Simple Bugs with Huge Impact - Cyber Attack Emergency Plans - Susceptibility to Denial of Service - Privacy issues in Intelligent Transportation - Cyber Forensics & Challenges - Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security Important Dates: April 1, 2019 Submission deadline May 5, 2019 Acceptance notification May 12, 2019, Camera-ready deadline July 2, 2019 Workshop day Workshop Co-Chairs - Syed Hassan Ahmed, Georgia Southern University, USA - Danda B.
