Polyzos <polyzos(a)AUEB.GR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2019 NDSS Symposium Workshop Decentralized IoT Systems and Security (DISS 2019) Call for Papers https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2019/cfp-diss-2019/ The success of the Internet of Things (IoT) depends heavily on the extent of achieved interoperability, as well as on addressing the many security and privacy challenges. Due to the multitude of types of devices, systems, and protocols, and their scale of deployment and limited resources, some of these systems will be extremely challenging to interconnect and secure. The underlying edge network or edge-computing infrastructure, supporting the IoT, will also need to provide security and privacy guarantees. Given that IoT devices and edge networks are deployed by a multitude of players, decentralization has become a key enabling design goal of the system. For example, recent advances in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Blockchains can be incorporated to support decentralized security. In turn, decentralized security through distributed trust can help overcome privacy concerns and scalability bottlenecks, both of which are becoming increasingly serious in large-scale deployments, such as smart cities or Industry 4.0. A decentralized approach to IoT interconnection brings forth many opportunities, but also important challenges, e.g., in state synchronization, trust management, and the difficulties of operating with constrained devices and networking modes. Following the spirit of the NDSS Symposium, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to analyze and discuss the huge potential, but also the inevitable limitations of decentralized operation and security in the IoT space, in edge-computing, as well as in the wider mobile computing environment. The workshop will accept early-stage, novel ideas that are likely to trigger discussion. The proposed topics include the following: + Enabling secure interoperability across IoT ecosystems, including - Applying blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technology to IoT and edge network infrastructure - Security and availability in multi-tiered IoT edge networks - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) security and privacy in IoT - Decentralized trust and rights management, including access control - Decentralized authentication and access management at the IoT edge + Other topics related to decentralized security in IoT, such as - Security and privacy trade-offs related to IoT scalability and decentralization - Cryptocurrencies, crypto-assets and cryptoeconomics in IoT and edge-computing - Secure Service provisioning and migration in edge-computing environments - Sensor and Actuator Key Management and other Security Protocols - Smart Contracts for IoT, including formal verification of smart contracts - Application of concepts from outside of the IoT to decentralized IoT security - Usable security for decentralized IoT and edge-computing Submission Instructions =================== The workshop will accept papers between three to six pages in length, for publication in post-workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the Internet Society with the revised papers based on the workshop discussions and reviewer comments. Papers shall be submitted for review in print-ready form using the NDSS paper template and the review will be single blind. For a paper to be published, at least one of the authors must attend the entire workshop, the paper must be revised based on the discussion at the workshop, and the revised paper must be submitted in time for the publication deadline.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [INFOCOM19 Workshop IECCO: Deadline Dec. 30, 2018] Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks Datum: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:15:19 +0800 Von: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: INFOCOM IECCO 2019 <infocom.iecco.2019(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 3rd Workshop on Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks, at the IEEE INFOCOM 2019, April 29-May 2, 2019, Paris, France Website: http://infocom2019.ieee-infocom.org/workshop-integrating-edge-computing-cac… 1. Call for Papers Cloud computing has been widely adopted to enable convenient access to a shared pool of computing resources. Nevertheless, as the distance between the cloud and the edge device is usually large, cloud computing services may not provide guarantees to low latency applications, and transmitting a large amount of data (e.g., in big data analytics) from the device to the cloud may not be feasible or economical. To address these issues, edge (fog) computing has been proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end users. Edge computing allows edge devices to perform computation offloading to offload their computational tasks to the edge server, which executes the computational tasks on behalf of the edge devices. Another new technology called information-centric networking (ICN) has been extensively studied in recent years. In-network caching is used in ICN to reduce the duplicate content transmission in networks. ICN-based caching has been recognized as one of the promising techniques for future wireless/wired networks. Recently, there is a phenomenal burst of research activities in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. From the perspective of applications (e.g., video), network, cache and compute are underlying resources enabling these applications. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on the performance of applications. The Workshop on "Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks" provides a forum that brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers to discuss up-to-date developments in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks. The workshop invites submissions of unpublished works on (but not limited to) the following topics: Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Low-latency offload infrastructure Micro data cells/centers for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Cloudlets for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Supporting real-time multimedia services over edge computing, caching, and offloading networks Edge computing networks for wireless big data applications Machine learning based edge computing, caching, and offloading wireless networks Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and big data analytics in the edge of wireless network AI and machine learning for multimedia services Energy and spectrum efficient wireless network operations and wireless resource allocations via AI and machine learning algorithms Caching, and edge computing using software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) Architectures and protocols for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Designs and optimizations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information-centric and content-centric networks Information theory for caching and offloading Cache-enabled networks Computation offloading in networks Networks for cloud computing Networks for edge/fog computing Integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in 5G cellular networks Energy efficient hardware, software, networks and services QoS provisioning and resource management in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Modeling and performance evaluation of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Performance/complexity/cost tradeoff Pricing and billing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Security and privacy for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Green and sustainable edge computing, caching, and offloading Big data for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Signal processing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Information theory for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Interdisciplinary research for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading Studies for integrating D2D/M2M and IoT with edge computing, caching, and offloading Implementations and trails for edge computing, caching, and offloading Standards, policies, and regulations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading 2.

Autonomous cooperative systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, the 5G architecture foresees explicitly the usage of these specialized systems and offer new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. Starting from the tradition of MiSeNet and WiSARN workshops, IEEE MiSARN 2018 will aim to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking, combining both research and practice. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshops topics. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of mission-oriented WSNs, cyber-physical systems and UAV/Robot networking as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design, in particular at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. IEEE MiSARN 2018 will seek papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented WSN applications and cyber-physical systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Theoretical foundations, modeling and analysis of mission-oriented WSNs - System design, implementation, and evaluation of mission-oriented WSNs - Medium access control and scheduling in mission-oriented WSNs - Software architectures for mission-oriented WSNs - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency in mission-oriented WSNs - Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues in mission-oriented WSNs - Routing and data dissemination in mission-oriented WSNs - In-network data storage and processing in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor database management in mission-oriented WSNs - Localization, detection and tracking in mission-oriented WSNs - Cryptography, privacy, robustness, security aspects of mission-oriented WSNs - Internet and cloud computing, cloud of Things in mission-oriented WSNs - Sensor-enabled robots and drones in mission-oriented WSNs - Wearable computing and human centricity in mission-oriented WSNs - Cyber-physical systems in mission-oriented WSNs - Theoretical foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems - Signal Processing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Mechanism Design for Cyber-Physical Systems - Control and Optimization of Cyber-Physical Systems - Data Mining and Analytics Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Game Theory Applied to Cyber-Physical Systems - Mobile and Cloud Computing for Cyber-Physical Systems - Security of Cyber-Physical Systems - Model-Based Design and Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems - Testbed design and real-world applications of mission-oriented WSNs - Autonomous sensor networks - Emergent behavior in robotic systems - UAV-aided wireless sensor networks - Optimal control of networked robots - Robot advanced motion control - Modeling and control of fleet of UAVs - Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication in Robot and UAV networks - Sensor-robot and robot-robot coordination - Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols in Robot and UAV networks - Distributed control and management for Robot and UAV network deployments - Communication protocols for swarms of mobile nodes - Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots - Robot task assignment - Biologically inspired communication systems for Robot and UAV networks - Software-Defined Aerial Networks - Endurance Management - Ground sensors to UAVs communication and data gathering - Context-awareness and decision making for UAV systems - Path planning, and target tracking in UAV networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is required that the manuscript follows the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF file (formatted for 8.5-11 inch paper) as well as the requirement set by the EDAS paper submission system.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019
by Lars Wolf 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: csdwang <csdwang(a)COMP.POLYU.EDU.HK> Gesendet: 10. November 2018 14:43:48 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 CALL FOR PAPER and CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 -------------------------------------------------------- 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 â€œreproducibility badgeâ€ 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 -------------------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOP AT SIGCOMM 2019 SIGCOMM 2019 plans to hold multiple one-day workshops in conjunction with the conference, to be held in Beijing, China, August 19-23, 2019. Workshops will take place on Monday, August 19 and Friday, August 23.
