However, at the same time as these technological opportunities grow so does the threat surface for potential adversaries targeting at various, interconnected ICT systems and consequently at ICT-dependent critical systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) systems. At this point, attackers could take advantage from the incorporation of the paradigm to exploit new security gaps, probably caused by unforeseen interoperability and adaptability problems. Indeed, the deployment of Internet-enabled embedded devices that are distributed over major critical domains, may create indirect and non-obvious inter-connections with the underlying Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Examples of such inter-connected systems may include traffic monitoring and control systems communicating with smart vehicles, energy related systems communicating with smart homes and smart meters, monitoring systems connected with autonomous sensors in nuclear plants, power grids and body area networks. There is a need to further explore the security issues related to IoT technologies to assure the resilience of CIs against advanced IoT-based attacks. The goal of this special issue is therefore to address the diverse security challenges and related to IoT-enabled CIs (IoT-CIs) and their resilience to advanced threats. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Security analysis and requirements in the coupling of IoT-CIs * Vulnerabilities, threat models and risk management in IoT-CIs * Reference architectures for the secure coupling of IoT in CI scenarios * Embedded security for mobile devices and BYOD * Network-layer attacks and defense mechanisms between IoT devices and CIs * Key management and access control in IoT-CIs * Resilience models for advanced threats in IoT-CIs * Advanced and lightweight awareness models for large IoT-CIs * Privacy and location privacy for IoT-CIs ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2018 * First Reviews Due: December 15, 2018 * Revision Due: January 15, 2019 * Second Reviews Due/Notification: Feb. 15, 2019 * Final Manuscript Due: March 15, 2019 * Publication Date: 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] ACM/IEEE IPSN 2019: Call for Papers Datum: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 12:40:28 -0400 Von: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> Antwort an: Shijia Pan <shijiapan(a)CMU.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG The 18th ACM/IEEE The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) =================================================================== April 16-18, 2019, Montreal, Canada IPSN'19 is part of CPS-IoT Week 2019, co-located with HSCC, ICCPS, CPS-IoT, and RTAS. http://ipsn.acm.org/2019 =================================================================== The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading annual forum on research in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of multiple of these areas. Like prior years, IPSN 2019 will continue its co-location with CPS-IoT WEEK, the premier venue for research and development of Cyberphysical Systems, and its strong focus on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors, as well as new hardware and software platforms, design methods, architectures, modelling, implementation, evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems and the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing - Streaming sensor system tasking and operation - Coding, compression, and information theory - Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds - Network and system architectures and protocols - IoT gateway platform architecture and services - Outdoor, wide-area sensing systems - Location, time, and other network services - Programming models, languages, and systems - Programming models for IoT ensembles - Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools - Operating systems and runtime environments - Applications in health, wellness & sustainability - Applications in smart cities and urban health - Experiences, challenges, comparisons of platforms - Discovery, coordination, and use of IoT services - Security and privacy in heterogeneous systems - IoT reliability, adaptability, and dependability - Technical assessment of emerging IoT standards - Wearable systems and data processing algorithms - Sensor-enabled drone platforms and algorithms In addition to IPSN's traditional focus, IPSN 2019 will place a particular emphasis on embedded machine learning and computer vision, with a special track centered on these topics. In this case, topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data - New hardware and system design to enable machine learning on sensor data - Novel embedded machine learning algorithms - Data related issues, such as methods, tools, and analysis - Computer vision for resource-constrained and mobile platforms ********Submission Guidelines******** Submission guidelines will be available soon. ********Response Process******** As in previous years, IPSN will also elicit a review and response process. After the initial review, the program committee may request a short response from selected papers for additional clarifications. The authors will get a short time window of roughly 24 hours to respond. Participation in the response process is not mandatory. ****Joint statement from IPSN and IoTDI**** The two conferences are collaborating to create new synergies, also exploiting their CPSWEEK bi-annual co-location. Prospective authors are thus strongly encouraged to consider these guidelines: - Contributions of embedded nature and applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to field devices should be submitted to IPSN. Examples include localization, low-power wireless networking, and embedded data processing. - Contributions with an end-to-end perspective or applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to the cloud should be submitted to IoTDI. Examples include cloud data processing, edge computing, and systems covering multiple network segments. The TPC chairs of both conferences may agree to move a submitted paper from one to the other if they see a better fit, subject to the authors’ consent. The final decision about where to submit, and therefore what program committee will review the work, ultimately rests with the authors. ********Key Dates******** Paper Abstract Registration: October 10th, 2018 11:59pm AoE (UTC-12) Paper Submission Deadline: (Firm*): October, 17th 2018 11:59pm AoE (UTC-12) Authors’ rebuttal period December 17th - 19th, 2018 Acceptance Notification: January 16th, 2019 Camera-Ready Deadline: TBD ********Organizers******** General Chair: Rasit Eskicioglu (University of Manitoba) Technical Committee Chairs: Luca Mottola (Politecnico di Milan and RISE SICS) Bodhi Priyantha (Microsoft Research) ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Theofanis Raptis <theofanis.raptis(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Gesendet: 16. September 2018 16:48:34 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Access Journal Special Section on Wirelessly Powered Networks (deadline 30 September) IEEE Access Journal - Impact Factor (2017): 3.557 Special Section on Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies Submission Deadline: 30 September 2018 Submit manuscript to: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-access IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is, by definition, a process that occurs in any system where electrical energy is transmitted from a power source to a load without the connection of electrical conductors. WPT is the driving technology that will enable the next stage in the current consumer electronics revolution, including battery-less sensors, passive RF identification (RFID), passive wireless sensors, the Internet of Things and 5G, and machine-to-machine solutions. WPT-enabled devices can be powered by harvesting energy from the surroundings, including electromagnetic (EM) energy, leading to a new communication networks paradigm, the Wirelessly Powered Networks. While recent advances in wireless utensils appear to be unlimited, the dependence of their operation on batteries remains a weakness, mainly because batteries come with a limited lifetime and require a fast charge time to achieve continuous operation. This is where the technologies of WPT become useful, bringing together wireless energy and data transmission. WPT technologies substitute the traditional powering concept, where a cable or a battery is connected to the wireless device, by the transmission of energy over the air in an efficient way to power-up the device. Wirelessly Powered Networks have recently evolved into a very active research field, as well as a topic of rapid technological progress, emerging practical developments and standardization activities. However, a solid foundational, technological, and applied background is still necessary for Wirelessly Powered Networks to achieve their full potential. The provisioning of relevant technological models, algorithmic design and analysis methods, networking principles, circuit and system design, and application methodologies is a challenging task. This Special Section in IEEE Access invites academic and industrial experts to make their contributions on Wirelessly Powered Networks. It will selectively span a coherent, large spectrum of fundamental aspects of WPT, and will focus on three main thematic pillars and relevant themes: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Algorithms - Optimization and approximation algorithms (mobility/energy/data management) - Joint operation scheduling (routing, data gathering, ambient harvesting) - Precise algorithmic models and efficient distributed protocols - WPT devices deployment - Safety provisioning through EM radiation control algorithms - Peer-to-peer and crowd charging algorithms - Algorithms for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) Applications - Medical implants and wearable devices - Automotive technology and electric vehicles - Mobile communications, wireless sensor networks and UAVs - Spacecraft engineering - Home/Industrial appliances - Standardization, regulations and biological effects - Solutions for SWIPT Technologies - RF energy harvesting, rectennas and rectenna arrays - High-frequency rectifying circuits, power transmitters and devices - Near-field (inductive, resonant) energy transfer - Microwave transmission and beaming - Novel materials, fabrication techniques - Energy storage elements, RFID-related electronics and self-powered sensors - Measurement and characterization approaches for WPT components We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

Link to the CfP: https://tcps.acm.org/special_issue_selfaware.cfm <https://www.organic-computing.de/mailster/4002/14ac907ebe6aecff1f534ba5f670…> The deadline for manuscript submissions is *October 19, 2018*. Best regards, Anthony Stein ------------------ *Call for Papers: Special Issue on Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems* Inspired by biological examples, self-awareness has become a hot research topic in a variety of disciplines and its applicability has been explored in various application domains. The topic owes its attractiveness to its promise to facilitate highly resilient, adaptive and outstandingly efficient behaviors. Thus, self-awareness holds the promise to promote dependability in all types of smart gadgets and artificial agents in the interconnected world of future. However, the challenges raised by these new promising features are also significant, not least because they have a profound impact on the way we design, validate and test incorporating self-awareness. If a system smartly adapts to changing needs and environment, how do we validate its functionality at design time? How do we specify the correct functionality in the first place? What are the relevant trade-offs? How can we quantify uncertainties and variabilities in a meaningful way to deal with them in the design process? These are only some of the pressing questions that have to be addressed before these new features can be exploited. The ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems seeks original manuscripts for a special issue on “Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems” which will cover recent development on methods, architecture, design, validation and application of resource-constrained cyber-physical systems that exhibit a degree of self-awareness. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* • Self-monitoring and self-assessment of distributed CPS • Reliability, safety and security in CPS based on self-awareness • Ongoing learning, reasoning, self-modelling and knowledge management, at run-time • Resource management based on self-awareness in distributed CPS • Robust control for resource management and self-awareness • Applications for self-aware CPS *Submission Guidelines:* Authors should submit their journal version at Manuscript Central adhering to the formatting instructions on the TCPS Web page, and indicate that you are submitting to the Special Issue on Self-Awareness in Resource Constrained Cyber-Physical Systems” on the first page and in the field “Author's Cover Letter:” in Manuscript Central).

The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically through EDAS. We will consider three different categories of papers: - *Full papers* should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding 8 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all. - *Short papers *should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without finished results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages including figures, tables, and references, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the conference. Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: a paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category. - *Posters* are especially suited for presenting controversial research directions that may generate discussion, or promising ideas not yet fully validated through complete extensive evaluation. IEEE VNC 2018 will also include a demonstration session for researchers to showcase their latest prototypes with media, models, or live demonstrations. The demo session will be co-located with the poster session to ensure maximum visibility and a close interaction with the conference audience. We also encourage the authors of the demo papers to include a link to a short 2-min demonstration video for the reviewers to facilitate the evaluation of the quality of the demonstration proposal. If a video is included, we ask that it be hosted on public video hosting service (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, or similar) to ensure the anonymity of the reviewers. The videos of accepted demonstration proposals will be advertised on the conference website. Poster/demo papers should be 2-page papers following standard IEEE 2-column format using 10-point font. All paper submissions must be written in English. The title of the paper should begin with either "Poster:" or "Demo:". Optionally, a poster paper submission can also include an electronic copy of the poster. *Organization Committee*-------------------------------------------------General Co-Chairs Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Onur Altintas, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA TPC Co-Chairs Kate Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Mate Boban, Huawei European Research Center, Germany Local Arrangement Co-Chairs Shin-Ming Cheng, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan Shih-Hao Chang, Tamkang University, Taiwan Publication Co-Chairs Chih-Yu Wang, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Taylan Sahin, Technical University of Munich, Germany Publicity Co-Chairs Sinem Coleri Ergen, Koc University, Turkey Lin Cheng, Trinity College, USA Chenren Xu, Peking University, China Poster/Demo Co-Chairs Hsu-Chun Hsiao, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Ashwin Ashok, Georgia State University, USA App Contest Co-Chairs Chuang-Wen You, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Yi-Chao Chen, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Yuan-Chi Tseng, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Web Chair Wen-Hsuan Shen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Steering Committee Onur Altintas, Toyota InfoTechnology Center, USA Wai Chen, China Mobile Research Institute, China Falko Dressler, University of Paderborn, Germany Geert Heijenk, University of Twente, The Netherlands Thomas Luckenbach, FOKUS, Germany Hyun Seo Oh, ETRI, South Korea Umit Ozguner, Ohio State University, USA Tadao Saito, Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo, Japan -- Sinem Coleri Ergen Associate Professor, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Director, Wireless Networks Laboratory Koc University, Sariyer, Istanbul, 34450 email: sergen(a)ku.edu.tr webpage: http://home.ku.edu.tr/~sergen/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
