Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN)
by Lars Wolf 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Nikolaos Pappas <nikolaos.pappas(a)LIU.SE> Gesendet: 20. Dezember 2018 23:44:14 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE INFOCOM 2019 Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN) Dear Colleagues, We are very pleased to announce that the 2019 IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Ultra-Low Latency in Wireless Networks (ULLWN 2019) will be held on April 29, 2019, in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2019. --------------------------------------------------- Scope and Topics of Interest --------------------------------------------------- In order to handle the ever-increasing traffic load, existing wireless networks have typically been designed and planned with a focus on improving throughput and increasing coverage. Achieving ultra-low latencies â€“ often together with unprecedented levels of reliability, has not been in the mainstream in most wireless networks, due to the focus on human-centric communications and delay-tolerant content. However, a plethora of socially useful applications and new uses of wireless communication are envisioned in areas such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), industrial control, automated driving or flying, mission-critical IoT, remote robotics, smart grid and tactile Internet. In response, new releases of mobile cellular networks (mainly focusing on 5G new radio and beyond) are envisaged to support scenarios with extremely strict requirements in terms of latency (ranging from 1 ms and below to few milliseconds end-to-end latency depending on the use cases). Low latency communication poses significant theoretical and practical challenges, requiring a departure from throughput-oriented system design towards a holistic view (network architecture, control, and data) for guaranteed and reliable end-to-end latency. Cooperative networking can maintain the robustness of network connectivity, since in cooperation, wireless nodes assist each other for improved connectivity and increased diversity. Most present systems employ centralized resource allocation, which is inappropriate for such applications though, as it relies on a significant control-layer overhead and incurs severe latency. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Low latency communication in mission-critical and emergency applications - Cooperative networks for achieving ultra-low latencies - Buffer-aided cooperative networks with stringent delay constraints - Fundamental limits, performance analysis, network theoretic approaches (e.g. stochastic network calculus, timely throughput) - Anticipatory network models for low-latency networking - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for achieving ultra-low latencies - Edge caching and content replication for low latency - Network slicing and network function virtualization - Applications: Factory automation and industrial control, Tactile Internet, Industry 4.0, Intelligent transportation, V2X communications, Remote robotics, Smart grid, eHealth, Mobile edge cloud computing, Safety-critical avionics. --------------------------------------------------- Submission Instructions --------------------------------------------------- The ULLWN Workshop calls for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages. The review process is single blind. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper). Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files through the EDAS website: http://edas.info/N25584 --------------------------------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------------------------------- Submission: December 30th, 2018 Decisions: February 22nd, 2019 Camera ready: March 10th, 2019 --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Organizers --------------------------------------------------- Prof. Nikolaos Pappas (Linkoping University, Sweden) Prof. Themistoklis Charalambous (Aalto University, Finland) Dr. Marios Kountouris (Huawei Technologies, France) --------------------------------------------------- Workshop Steering Committee --------------------------------------------------- Prof. Gustavo de Veciana (The University of Texas at Austin, USA) Prof. I-Hong Hou (Texas A&M University, USA) Prof. Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (EURECOM, France) Best regards, The ULLWN 2019 Organizers ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue in Wiley ETT (IF = 1.61) Special Issue on Context-Aware Mobility in Internet of Things: Enabling Technologies, Applications and Challenges Submission Deadline: January 31, 2019 This CFP can be seen at the website of IJDSN at *https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Proposed%20Special%20Issue%20(Context-aware%20mobility%20in%20IoT)%20-%20Final%20-%20CFP%20171218.pdf <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/21613915/ETT%20-%20Propose…>* Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary paradigm for connected objects that enables diverse communication between heterogeneous devices. Continuous connectivity empowers these devices to socialize with each other by sharing information from distinct sources. IoT has played a profound role in diverse domains of life ranging from healthcare to agriculture, education to enterprise and transportation to engineering and many more. A progressive embracement of IoT by industry and individuals has enabled the realization of concepts such as Smart Cities and Smart Industries that were considered a mere dream decade ago. Further, mobility in IoT brings a lot of challenges when it comes to providing generic frameworks, protocols, applications and services such as uncertainty, dynamicity, disruptions, scalability and reliability etc. Highly mobile objects have tendency to change their context at a rapid pace that brings the challenge of realizing the applications that require contextual information for their operations and functionality. Generating context information requires extensive data analysis, high energy consumption, intelligent sensing and large storages to ensure appropriate information dissemination entities involved in the system. Context-aware mobility has gained tremendous attention with the advent of new generation of portal devices, e.g., smart phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness bands and smart cars etc. Change in the context can significantly transform the overall outcome of the system based on the devices, users, applications and environmental parameters. Recent advancements in IoT are still in their fancy and require standardization, benchmarking, architectural designs, models, guidelines, policies and measurement criteria for development and deployment of context-aware applications and services. This special issue is expected to provide a platform for academics and industry researchers to identify and debate enabling technologies, technical and non-technical challenges and recent accomplishments associated with contextaware mobility in IoT. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: • Architectural Design for Context-Aware Mobile IoT systems • Data Processing and Analytics for Mobile Contextualization • Context-aware mobility in IoT using Fog Computing • Security, Privacy and Trust Management in Context-aware Mobility • Social and Ethical implications of Context-aware Mobility in IoT Devices • Applications and Use Case Scenarios of Context-aware Mobile IoT Systems • Communication Technologies for Mobile IoT based on Context Intelligence • Context-Aware Mobility in Transportation • Context-Aware Mobility in Healthcare • Context-aware Mobility based Business Models for IoT applications • Wearable IoT based applications for context intelligence The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.

Significant progress has been made through contributions in areas as diverse as control, embedded and real-time systems, wireless communication, and networking. Despite these advances, it is difficult to measure and compare the utility of these results due to a lack of standard evaluation criteria and methodologies. This problem concerns the evaluation against the state of the art in an individual area, the comparability of different integrated designs that span multiple areas (e.g., control and networking), and the applicability of tested scenarios to the present and future real-world CPS and IoT applications and deployments. This state of affairs is alarming as it may significantly hinder further progress in CPS and IoT research. The 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench) brings together researchers from the different sub-communities to engage in a lively debate on all facets of rigorously evaluating and comparing CPS and IoT solutions. CPS-IoTBench provides a venue for learning about each other’s challenges and evaluation methodologies and for debating future research agendas to jointly define the performance metrics and benchmarking scenarios that matter from an overall system’s perspective. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit short papers. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on one of the following: - identify fundamental challenges and open questions in rigorous benchmarking and evaluation of CPS and IoT solutions; - offer a constructive critique on the current practice and state of experimental comparison; - report on success stories or failures with using standard evaluation criteria; - describe efforts to replicate or reproduce experimental results from published research; - present example benchmark systems and approaches from any of the relevant communities (embedded systems, real-time systems, networking, wireless communication and control, etc.); - benchmark industrial standardized solutions against each other and against academic solutions, and discuss their strengths and weakness for different application use-cases and industry verticals; - propose new research directions, methodologies, or tools to increase the level of reproducibility and comparability of evaluation results. Well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations are sufficient to support a paper’s claims. Accepted papers will be published in both IEEE Xplore and the ACM Digital Library as part of the CPS-IoT Week proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the workshop. 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. Please, use the default ACM template ( https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) for conference proceedings (9pt font). 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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/Springer - Special Issue on Reliable Communication for Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 16 Dec 2018 17:15:01 +0000 Von: Antonino Masaracchia <monet.publicity(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Antonino Masaracchia <monet.publicity(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================= ACM/Springer - Mobile Networks & Applications (MONET) Special Issue on Reliable Communication for Emerging Wireless Networks Submission Deadline: December 31st, 2018 http://link.springer.com/journal/11036 ================================================= *** Overview *** As many as 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. It is predicted that the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed 11.5 billion by 2019 (nearly 1.5 mobile devices per capita), which poses a huge traffic demand for ubiquitous communications. Data rates are projected to increase by a factor of ten every five years, and with the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) predicted to wirelessly connect trillions of devices across the globe. It is anticipated that we will witness an up to 10000- fold growth in wireless data traffic by the year 2030. Predictions evidently indicates that the growth in data traffic will cater unprecedented services and applications for machine type communication such as driverless vehicles and drone-based deliveries, smart cities and factories, remote medical diagnosis and surgery, and artificial intelligence- based personalized assistants along with traditional human-centric communications. Coexistence of human-centric and machine-type services as well as hybrids of these will make next generation wireless networks more diverse and complex. Current wireless radio access techniques are not capable of delivering these new applications and services as they are way different from traditional human-centric communications in terms of reliability, latency, energy efficiency, security, flexibility, and connection density. Without novel approaches, future wireless mobile networks (5G and beyond) will grind to a halt unless more capacity is created, on the other hand, to cope with the challenges due to new service categories, a new look on the wireless networks is required to meet performance requirements such as massive connectivity, lower latency, higher reliability, better energy efficiency and security. *** Topics *** To overcome the aforementioned challenges of emerging wireless communications and networks for 5G and Beyond, this special issue focuses on (but are not restricted to) the following topics: - Ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) - Massive machine-type communication (mMTC) - New air interface design for 5G (New Radio (NR)) - QoS/QoE mechanisms for wireless communications and networks - 5G wireless heterogeneous networks: design and optimization - Sensing technologies and applications for 5G - 5G wireless communications and networks for surveillance and management - 5G Cognitive networks and IoT - Experimental results, prototypes, and testbeds of 5G wireless communications and networks - Integration and co-existence of 5G wireless communication and network technologies - Energy efficiency (harvesting and saving) wireless protocols and algorithms for 5G - Security and privacy concerns in 5G wireless communications - NOMA, full-duplex, massive MIMO - Green 5G multimedia wireless networks - AI techniques for Wireless Communication and security - mmWave Massive MIMO - Hardware impairments affecting wireless communications *** Important Dates *** Manuscript submission deadline: 31st December 2018 Notification of acceptance: 1st March 2019 Submission of final revised paper: 1st May 2019 Publication of special issue (tentative): August 2019 *** Guest Editors *** Dr. Trung Q. Duong, Queen’s University Belfast, UK Dr. Chinmoy Kundu, University of Texas at Dallas, USA Dr. Antonino Masaracchia, University of Palermo, Italy Dr. Van-Dinh Nguyen, Soongsil University, Korea *** Instructions for submission *** This MONET Half Special Issue will publish six selected high-quality extended papers from 14th EAI International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2018) http://www.qshine.org and from the open call-for-papers.
