Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call. IoPARTS2018 invites researchers, engineers, and subject matter experts from academia and industry to present their latest innovations, which address coworking challenges between humans and robots within the context of IoT. It stems from the observation that rapid advances in sensing, sensor algorithms, miniaturized computing, and improved actuation are expeditiously bringing robots into our daily lives. The near future holds promise of driverless cars, package delivering drones, precision agriculture, co-working robots, and others. A major paradigm change with these applications is the degree of autonomy of the robot, and the close proximity of their operation in urban environments. This is dramatically different from prior deployments of automation in factories with very structured environments constructed for their operation. This change brings several challenges arising from close proximity of operation with humans, modality of interaction, general awareness, and others. This workshop is interested in bringing out the computer systems challenges that this future paradigm presents. Such systems challenges include spatial awareness of the robot, ability to react in a timely manner, faster and better modes of interaction, and systems/protocols for seamless interaction in diverse environments. Topics of interest include, but not limited to : * Real-time software design for mixed-criticality systems * Smart space design for human-robot systems * System architectures and protocols for interacting with unmanned autonomous vehicles * Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning * Novel sensing and interface technologies for human-robot interaction * Algorithms for human-robot coordination * Joint inference and learning based on data generated by human wearables, fixed sensors and robots * Human-in-the-loop algorithms for robot sensing/actuation * Verification of hybrid human-robot systems * Improved communication/visualization between robot and humans * Energy management among robots and mobile/fixed sensors * Issues on heterogeneous sensor modalities and capabilities among humans and robots * Security/Privacy challenges of human-robot systems * Ethical/social challenges of human-robot systems * Results from prototypes, test-beds, and demonstrations * Novel applications of human-robot systems Two types of submissions are solicited: * Full papers: Maximum length of 6 pages, including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. * Vision abstracts:Extended abstract that offers a future vision for a research direction in this space, of maximum length of 2 pages.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Many applications with high social and business impact fall under the IoT umbrella, including personal healthcare, smart grid, surveillance, home automation, intelligent transportation, while it is expected that new ones will emerge once the enabling technologies reach a stable state. At the moment, four of the most important challenges are: - Architectures, protocols and algorithms for an efficient interconnection of smart objects, both between themselves and with the (future) Internet within the 5G context. - The creation of value-added services in cross-domain applications, especially open and interoperable, enabled by the interconnection of things / machines / smart objects, in such a way that they can be integrated with current and new business and development processes. - The support of a virtualized IoT based on the concepts of virtualized components and functions within dense and heterogeneous environments. - Security, privacy and trust in the IoT applications, for ensuring that the provided services will protect the users' data, provide guarantees that no malicious users/devices will affect the system decisions and that the IoT applications will be secure and privacy-preserving "by design". The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in theory, application and implementation of the Internet of Things concept: technologies, protocols, algorithms, and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - System architectures for the IoT - Protocols and mechanisms for seamless IoT communications - Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios - Enabling standards and technologies for the IoT - Service platforms for IoT applications - Business models and processes for IoT applications - Energy optimization and sustainable operation of IoT devices - Access network issues; including mobility management, data dissemination and routing - Testbeds for the IoT - Security, privacy and Trust in the IoT context - Experiences with IoT system prototypes and pilots - Novel and emerging IoT applications; including eHealth/mHealth, Smart Grid/Smart-Metering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart House/Neighborhood/Cities - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research - Ethical issues in the IoT applications - Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access on IoT - Integration of IoT with Cloud and Fog computing - Emerging communication technologies for IoT, e.g. Low Power WAN and D2D - Protocols and architectures for Industrial IoT PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically to EDAS by March 12, 2018, 11:59pm CET. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018/submission.shtml.

With the aid of these equipment and technologies, vehicles can offer many new applications and services, such as active driving safety assistance, self-driving cars, smart parking, road traffic monitoring, and fleet management. In addition, there are new content-centric applications for drivers and passengers. These applications typically require intensive computation and demand low-delay data processing, e.g., video analytics with real-time interaction, image-aided navigation, natural language processing, and interactive gaming. Such applications pose great challenges to the existing vehicular terminals and networks, especially in terms of their computational resources. To meet the ever-increasing computation demand in vehicular networks, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as a very promising solution. With the dramatically enhanced capacity, MEC is expected to bring a variety of benefits to vehicular networks, including ultra low latency between smart devices/vehicles and edge cloud for real-time, interactive, and mission-critical applications; privacy and security in local communications to access mobile edge cloud, and big data analytics at the point of capture for novel safety-oriented applications. Despite the potentially significant benefits of MEC, many challenges need to be addressed in this new paradigm. A typical challenge is related to computation offloading which should consider mobility-awareness and incentive in MEC for vehicular networks. In addition, various computation tasks may have different resource requirements, including the computation resources for task execution and the communication resources for task transmission. In this case, a joint optimization problem should consider both communications, computation and control dimensions. The objective of this special issue is to present the latest results, insights, and perspectives on the new area of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under consideration by any other journals. The topics of interest include, but not limited to: · New concepts, architecture, and principles · Cloud-edge integration and techniques for vehicular networks · Software defined vehicular networks with mobile edge computing · Edge computing supporting big data analytics for novel applications and services (e.g., traffic, surveillance, infrastructure planning) · Edge computing supporting machine learning, deep learning for self-driving cars · Communications, computation and storage resource management and optimization · Computation offloading, traffic offloading · Communications, computation, control convergence · Edge caching for content sharing in vehicular networks · Energy management, energy efficiency and greenness-performance tradeoff · Security and privacy · QoS/QoE provision · Use cases/applications highlighting the potential of mobile edge computing for vehicular networks Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Submitted papers should contain state-of-the-art research material presented in a tutorial or survey style. Manuscript format must adhere to the IEEE VT Magazine submission guidelines. Articles should be about 3,000 to 4,000 words long with 5-10 figures and 10-15 references. The use of mathematical equations should be limited to three.
