Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society. In the information age, unprecedented research of cyber physical infrastructures includes: the acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data such as sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and human, to tackle the major issues that cities face, e.g., air pollution, increased energy consumption and traffic congestion. Systems optimization, data analysis and modeling applied to the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. The 5th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2018) will be held November 7-8, 2018 at Shenzhen, China. This year at least five best papers in the ACM BuildSys proceedings will be selected into the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks with minor revision, upon authors' agreement. BuildSys is the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sophisticated sensing, computing, and control functions. We invite original contributions including, but not limited to the following: * Applications in smart and connected communities; * Sensing and control for urban infrastructure systems; * Novel sensor methodologies, techniques, and tools; * Sensing and control of electrical, gas, and water loads; * Improved user interfaces to built infrastructure; * Modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other resource flows in built environments; * Sensor systems and applications that enhance energy efficiency, energy reliability, durability and comfort; * Systems that integrate infrastructure with the smart grid to offer demand response and ancillary services; * Distributed generation, alternative energy, renewable sources, and energy storage in buildings; * Emerging standards for data collection, energy control, or interoperability of disparate devices or systems; * Sensing, modeling, and predicting the urban heartbeat including sounds, movements, and radio spectrum; * Human in the loop sensing and control for efficient usage of electricity, gas, heating, water; * Sensor systems for reliable occupancy counting; * Long-lived and energy harvesting sensor systems; * Scalable indoor localization and contextual computing; * Security, privacy, safety, and reliability in built systems; * Empirical studies of city-scale wireless communications; * Environmental Sensing; * Vehicle technologies and Traffic. ### Paper Types We solicit two types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) Notes papers are 4-page papers intended to discuss preliminary research results, advocate new research directions, describe public software or datasets, or present short projects that do not warrant a 10-page paper. Notes papers serve, in part, to encourage younger researchers and research teams entering this field of research to share their work. We also encourage Notes paper submissions from industry participants that may not be able to devote resources to a full paper. While Notes papers are not expected to have extensive evaluations, they will be reviewed based on the novelty of their ideas, potential for impact, and quality of presentation. ### Submission Guidelines Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other publication. Submissions must be full papers, at most 10 single-spaced US Letter (8.5” x 11”) pages, including figures, tables, references and appendices.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE PIMRC 2018 W5 - Workshop on Small Data Networks

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CfP] IEEE PIMRC 2018 W5 - Workshop on Small Data Networks Datum: Thu, 3 May 2018 18:29:28 +0200 Von: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> Antwort an: Andrea Munari <amu(a)INETS.RWTH-AACHEN.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, you are cordially invited to submit your latest research results to the IEEE PIMRC 2018 Workshop on Small Data Networks http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/ <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/program/workshops/> “Small data” refers to a rising paradigm in modern wireless networks, pointing to information exchanged by smart devices and sensors in the broad context of machine-type communications. Small data sets span typically from metering data and status reports to remote commands and data generated and transmitted within the IoT. They are generally produced by a multitude of devices which access the communication infrastructure sporadically, generating a massive amount of short packets that have to be received with high reliability, exploiting the available spectrum resources efficiently even in absence of coordination. In such a framework, the design of the network protocol departs from conventional approaches used for predictable and persistent data sources. Major changes have to be applied to the physical and the medium access control (MAC) layers to account for the sporadic nature of the transmissions, touching all basic aspects from signal detection, channel estimation, coding and modulation up to the medium sharing policies and possibly involving the higher layers of the communications stack. While traditional protocols treat interference as a waste and therefore are designed to avoid them, in recent years several innovative developments have been proposed, such as physical layer network coding and various techniques based on successive interference cancellation (SIC), where interference is instead embraced and creatively utilized. These developments have opened a completely new perspective for uncoordinated protocols, paving the way to dramatic performance improvements, and rendering the throughput of interference-limited channels competitive with respect to that of systems relying on predictable data sources. This is calling for new studies on the fundamental limits as well as on finding optimal ways of designing waveform, signal-processing algorithms, error correcting schemes and access protocols, and on theoretical tools to drive the system design. Research in the field is further buttressed by clearly defined market- driven goals from the industry, in the quest for highly reliable, highly efficient, low-complexity access solutions for a massive number of devices. The road towards 5G and more generally machine-type communications represent only some relevant application examples where upcoming research has the potential to leave a fundamental mark. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate new contributions to the topic, with emphasis on cross-layer interactions between the MAC and PHY layers of the protocol stack, as well as on the connections to coding and information theory. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fundamental limits on communications for small data sets • Channel coding and modulation for sporadic transmissions • Error control coding for ultra-reliable communications • Network coding in multiple access schemes • Successive interference cancellation in MAC protocols • Wireless access protocols for vehicular networks • Wireless access protocols for machine type communications, large-scale sensor networks, and IoT • Innovative techniques for 5G and IoT radio access networks • Efficient access schemes for short-packet communications • Energy efficient MAC-PHY spatial processing • Channel estimation and user detection for massive access Submission Guidelines Prospective authors are invited to submit technical papers of their previously unpublished work. Accepted workshop papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings and will be uploaded to IEEE Xplore. Papers should be submitted via EDAS; the links are available at http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org <http://pimrc2018.ieee-pimrc.org/> under “Authors”.
