Providing energy ubiquitously to these devices for making them functional for a long time is a challenging task. With the advent of energy sharing techniques, either by wired or wireless mediums (wireless power transfer – WPT), it is possible to extend the lifetime of such networks by utilizing the energy from other energy sources (e.g., chargers, other devices) within the network. Recently, there is a growing number of research studies that adopt the energy sharing for several energy optimization problems in different applications of mobile networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), Mobile Social Network (MSN) or Vehicular Networks. Energy sharing has been applied between mobile agents ranging from low-power devices such as sensors to moderate and high-power ones such as smartphones and electric vehicles. However, depending on the networking scenario as well as the form of energy sharing, different problems have been studied. This diverse application scenario has on the other hand resulted in isolated research communities working on the similar problems based on the common energy sharing concept in mobile networks. The objective of the workshop is to bring together academics, researchers, and industry professionals from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of energy sharing among mobile nodes in different network applications and benefit from each other's findings and initiate collaborations to address the interdisciplinary nature of the topic. Toward this goal, the workshop will span the topics including but are not limited to: · Wirelessly rechargeable sensor networks · Device-to-device (D2D) energy sharing in Mobile Social Networks · Opportunistic Energy Sharing in Delay Tolerant Networks · Energy sharing protocols and scheduling algorithms in Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Mobile Energy Networks · Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Mobile Energy Networks · Incentive models for energy sharing by peers · Energy trading and economy models among peers · Aerial (UAV) Mobile Energy Networks · Far-Field Wireless Power Transfer for Internet-of-Things (IoT) Networks · Crowd charging solutions in Mobile Social Networks · Hybrid Mobile Energy Networks · Software/Hardware solutions for energy sharing among peers · Privacy and Security in Mobile Energy Networks PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been already published elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere during the consideration period.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [NewNets 2019 co-located with WF-IoT, Limerick, Ireland] Deadline extended! Datum: Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:40:46 +0000 Von: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> Antwort an: Ramona Marfievici <Ramona.Marfievici(a)cit.ie> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WF-IoT) April 15, 2019 - Limerick, Ireland https://newnets2019.github.io/ !!!DEADLINE EXTENDED!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing both sensing and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, ZWave). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The 1st on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets) brings together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - protocol design; - hardware platform design; - modelling and analysis of low-power short or/and long-range communication; - reliability, adaptability, and dependability of short and long-range communication solutions; - new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming); - radio resource management; - deployment experiences, case studies, and lessons learned; - evaluation and testbeds; - regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing; - business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets. SUBMISSION AND FORMATTING Submitted papers must contain between 4 and 6 single spaced U.S. letter pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions should be formatted using the standard IEEE template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Authors should indicate their names and affiliations on the first page of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and render without error using standard viewers (e.g., Acrobat Reader). Submitted papers must differ significantly in content from previously published papers and must not be currently under review for any other publication. Paper submission deadline [EXTENDED!]: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 (11:59:59PM EST) Notification to authors: Sunday, February 17, 2019 Camera-ready submission deadline: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 ORGANIZERS TPC Co-chairs: Oana Iova (INSA Lyon, France) Ramona Marfievici (Nimbus Research Center, Ireland) Usman Raza (Toshiba Research Europe Limited, UK) TPC MEMBERS Matteo Ceriotti (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) Victor Cionca (Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland) Evgeny Khorov (IITP RAS and NRU HSE, Russia) Gaia Maselli (University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy) Konstantin Mikhaylov (University of Oulu, Finland) Georgios Papadopoulus (IMT Atlantique, France) Rajeev Pyiare (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy) Vijay Rao (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) Felix Sutton (ABB Corporate Research, Switzerland) Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou (University of New Mexico, USA) Ambuj Varshney (Uppsala University, Sweden) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) Datum: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:52:52 -0500 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *[Please accept apologies for cross-postings, share the news and thanks for your attention.]* ========================================== The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2019) May 14th-17th, 2019, Larnaca, Cyprus In conjunction with The 19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) http://www.cloudbus.org/fog/icfec2019/ ========================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The organizing committee is delighted to invite paper submissions for the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC), that will be held as part of IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating "things" from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronic and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latencies and bandwidth costs. To satisfy the ever increasing demand for computing resources from emerging applications such as IoT, academics and industry experts are now advocating to supplement large cloud data centers with micro data centres. These micro data centres, also called Fogs, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user (in the spatial and/or network topology) than cloud data centres. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize such edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out at the cloud. Referred to as "Fog/Edge computing", this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments, make use of opportunistic and cheap computing, and leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. On the one hand, the development of fog and edge computing infrastructure requires examining operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. On the other hand, the use of fog and edge computing paradigm requires extensions to current programming models and development of new abstractions that will allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from such massively distributed systems. This also opens up other challenges in: security, privacy and trust of the edge and fog resources; resource management for mobile, transient and constrained resources; distributed data, state and context management; and emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and deep learning over such platforms. TOPICS ------ The conference seeks to attract research contributions covering both theory and practice over system software and domain-specific applications in these areas. Some representative topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Programming Models for Internet of Things (IoT) & Fog/Edge environments IoT gateways and hubs: architecture, performance, deployment Performance models for integration IoT & Cloud systems Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing Middleware for IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Scheduling for IoT, Fog/Edge resources Storage and metadata management for Fog/Edge Computing Monitoring/metering of IoT, Fog/Edge infrastructures Real-time, locality-sensitive and mission-critical applications Legal and management/governance issues Security, privacy and trust Modelling and simulation environments Important Dates --------------- Early Submission [Closed] Papers due: November 30, 2018 (Extended to December 21, 2018) [closed] Author notifications of Acceptance: February 8, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Regular Submission [Open] Papers due: January 31, 2019 Author notifications of Acceptance: March 15, 2019 Camera Ready Paper: March 28, 2019 Registration will be aligned with CCGRID Deadlines: http://www.ccgrid2019.org Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format for peer-review.

Smart health, smart cities, smart industries, smart agriculture, smart environment, smart transportation, smart homes, smart education, smart business, smart energy, smart grids, and so on are the components that aid the mankind for smart living. However, they require, typically, design and development of innovative technologies, standards, and protocols apart from their architectures and frameworks. IoT has emerged as an extension to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with the low-cost and Internet-enabled solution for connecting and accessible anything from anywhere. In addition, such smartness derived due to the artificial intelligence yields in the production of tremendous amounts of data. The data increases as a baby-boomer requiring efficient tools to analyze and extract suitable inferences for services in order to extend smart living. Cloud, Edge and Big Data acquired enormous attention in light of massive data storage and analytics. With the large cohorts of gazette shrewdness and hi-tech population, the infrastructure, service delivery becomes expensive and difficult to manage for cities and governments.
