-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] EAI GOODTECHS 2019 - 5th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good Datum: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:49:21 +0100 Von: Giacomo Quadrio <gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ******************************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * GoodTechs 2019 * * 5th EAI International Conference on * Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good * * September 25-27, 2019 * * Submissions due: March 15, 2019 * ******************************************************************** SCOPE ====== By social good we refer to a “good” or a service that benefits the largest number of people in the largest possible way. Some classic examples of social goods are, of course, healthcare, safety, environment, democracy, and human rights, but we can add to this classic list even communication, art, entertainment and much more. In this context, the popularity of portable computing devices, like smartphones, tablets, or smart watches combined with the emergence of many other small smart objects with computational, sensing and communication capabilities coupled with the popularity of social networks and new human-technology interaction paradigms is creating unprecedented opportunities for each of us to do something useful, ranging from a single person to the whole world. Furthermore, Internet of Things, Smart-cities, distributed sensing and Fog computing are representative examples of modern ICT paradigms that aim to describe a dynamic and globally cooperative infrastructure built upon objects’ intelligence and self-configuring capabilities. These connected objects are finding their way into our pockets, vehicles, urban areas and infrastructure, thus becoming the very texture of our society and providing us the possibility, but also the responsibility, to shape it. In GOODTECHS we are hence interested in experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Clearly, we are not considering only the so called first world as the scenario for this evolution; we also refer to those areas where ICT is currently less widespread, hoping that it may represent a societal development opportunity rather than a source for further divide. Topics Authors are solicited to submit original, previously unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to topic areas: - App concepts and technologies for different mobile platforms - Blockchain for social good - Communication between mobile devices - Content Distribution - E-learning solutions - Data collection, organization and dissemination methods - Delay-tolerant aerial networks and ferrying approaches - Deployment and field-testing - Digital tools for art and feelings - Environment sensing, monitoring and preservation - Experimental results of communication testbeds - Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications - Health and social care - Human-object interaction - ICT for development - Mobile service architectures and frameworks - Mobility and handover management - New application scenarios for vehicular communications - Pervasive and ubiquitous services in cloud and IoT - Platforms and frameworks for mobile devices - Privacy issues and solutions - Protocol design, testing and verification - Security issues, architectures and solutions - Smart cities and transportation - Smart economy solutions: e-banking, e-business - Smart governance and e-administration - Smart living and E-health - Technology addressing the digital divide PUBLICATION =========== All registered papers will be published by ACM and made available through ACM Digital Library. Papers should be in English. Regular papers should be up to 6 pages in length. Short papers should be up to 4 pages in length. Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review. Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for papers: VTC2019-Spring Kuala Lumpur: Communications for Networked Smart Cities. 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.
