There are more than 370 Million Internet users worldwide. Number of unique mobile users is almost 5 Billion, with total number of mobile connections exceeding 8 Billion. This indicates that wireless communication is a prevalent field. Different wireless technologies including mobile cellular, fixed line, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and others are widely used for diverse communication purposes. It is estimated that majority of user’s access Internet via a mobile device. Internet traffic is dominated by multimedia content, and its proportion is ever increasing. This increases quality of service/experience (QoS/QoE) requirements. Optimizing multiple, often conflicting goals (delay, throughput, energy etc.) is of fundamental importance in the context. With the spreading of Internet and broadening of its capacity, data is available in abundance. Many fields benefit from data to optimize decisions. A lot of datasets, related to performance and security of different wireless networks are publicly available. Depending on the type of network and application, potential research areas include but not limited to: routing, MAC layer optimizations, mobility optimization, spectrum sensing, signal classification, handover decision, power allocation and rate adaptation, performance prediction, data collection and aggregation, event detection, localization and object tracking, intrusion detection and other security issues. Potential techniques to solve such problems include but not limited to: machine learning (supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement), swarm intelligence, genetic algorithms, artificial immune system, markov decision process, and game theory. Therefore, this special issue is to focus the data driven techniques to solve wireless communication problems (e.g. related to performance, security, and applications etc.). We invite researchers from academia and industry to discuss challenging ideas and novel research contributions, demonstrate results on data driven intelligence in wireless networks and related areas. Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: • Physical layer issues and data driven intelligence • Link layer issues and data driven intelligence • Network layer issues and data driven intelligence • Cross layer data driven optimizations • Wireless sensor networks and data driven intelligence • Cognitive radio networks and data driven intelligence • Vehicular networks and data driven intelligence • Edge/Fog Computing and data driven intelligence • Supervises and unsupervised machine learning techniques for wireless networks • Reinforcement learning techniques and wireless networks • Data driven algorithms for wireless networks Important Dates • Manuscript Submission Deadline: April 30, 2018 • Decision Notification: July 15, 2018 • Final Manuscript Submission: Sep 30, 2018 • Publication Date: Nov 2018 Guest Editors of the Special Issue Muhammad Khalil Afzal, Lead Guest Editor COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Wah, Pakistan Email: khalilafzal(a)ciitwah.edu.pk Biography: https://sites.google.com/site/muhammadkhalilafzal/ Mubashir Husain Rehmani Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland Email: mshrehmani(a)gmail.com Biography: https://sites.google.com/site/mshrehmani/ Yousaf Bin Zikria Yeungnam University, South Korea.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP ACM DroNet 2018 (with MobiSys - Munich, Germany) Datum: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:29:40 +0100 Von: Giacomo Quadrio <gquadrio(a)MATH.UNIPD.IT> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] ******************************************************************** * * 2nd Call for Papers * * DroNet 2018 * * The 4th Workshop on * Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications * for Civilian Use * * (organized in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018) * * Munich, Germany * June 15, 2018 * * Submissions due: March 1, 2018 * ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW ======== Robot vehicle platforms, often called “drones”, offer exciting new opportunities for mobile computing. While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel applications of drones - Drone system design and deployment - Drone ad-hoc networks - Micro flying systems - Aerial communication protocol design - Drone operating systems - Programming systems - MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets - Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks - Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones - Spectrum and regulatory issues - Mission and context-aware solutions - Drone coordination - Mobility-aware and 3D communication - Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying - Energy-efficient operation and harvesting - Integration of drones with backend systems - Drone-based sensor networks - Positioning and localization - Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior - Autonomous flight - Artificial intelligence techniques for drones - Vision and object tracking - Human drone interaction - Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors - Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects - Experimental results of aerial communication - Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and considered for the Best Paper Award.

It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by an incredibly higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen’s smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario. All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, we are still far from the full exploitation of the potentialities offered by such an ecosystem. The communication systems so far developed are mainly conceived to connect people, and they hardly adapt to connect devices. So that, Massive Machine Type Communications represents one of the use cases for the development of the forthcoming 5G cellular system. Also, since every day, new heterogeneous devices are added to and removed from our cities, it is mandatory to develop some framework capable to manage such an high-dynamic systems. In addition, such systems are required to be capable to evolve their functionalities over time, according to changes in their finalities. As a consequence, they should support the possibility to add, update, and remove functionalities depending on the available devices and services. The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking and management infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: - Models of network components’ interactions on a smart-city - Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access; - Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities; - Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities - Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments; - Smartphone and mobile systems and applications; - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones; - Crowd sourcing in smart cities; - IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities; - Novel communication protocols for M2M/MTC Communications; - Device-2-Device Communications (D2D); - Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications; - Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems; Submission Instructions Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of March 10th 2018. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS(Paper submission link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24492<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1snqcN8veWOIG-B7ZPW72RyV-YSs5cP0Ic6UeZ7dP6Blqd…>).
