Med-Hoc-Net 2018 - Call For Papers 17th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop 20-22 June 2018 Capri, Italy http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/ In recent years the Internet evolution has undergone a remarkable and unstoppable change of trend, rooted on three main pillars: New technologies (cloud computing, SDN, NFV, etc.), broad connectivity (4G/5G, VANET, FANET, etc.), and the wide deployment of smart edge devices (smart phones, sensors, wearables, etc.), all setting the main concept for the Internet of Things (IoT) and encompassing scenarios such as smart cities, ITS (intelligent transportation systems), smart grid, smart homes, or e-health. Med-Hoc-Net 2018 extends its focus far beyond traditional networking concepts, highlighting new concepts related to the mentioned three main pillars developed for the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies. Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will accommodate contributions on smart mobile scenarios, focusing on highly relevant developments but also preliminary ideas and concepts in the ICT area, aiming at facilitating the development of new technologies and services with a high societal impact. Following successful workshops at Sardinia Island (2002), Mahdia (2003), Bodrum (2004), Porquerolles Island (2005), Lipari Island (2006), Corfu Island (2007), Mallorca Island (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-Les-Pins (2010), Favignana Island (2011), Ayia Napa (2012), Corsica Island (2013), Piran (2014), the Algarve (2015), Barcelona (2016), and Budva (2017), Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will take place on the island of Capri, Italy, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. Program Highlights ------------------ Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will feature two program highlights: * a keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Ian F. Akyildiz of the Georgia Institute of Technology; and * an expert panel discussion on safety, privacy and cybersecurity. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interest revolve around ad hoc and mesh networks; for example: * MAC, routing and transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks * Wireless sensor networking: Technologies, protocols, etc. * Vehicular networks * Smart grid networks * Cognitive radio networks * Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks * Implementations, testbeds, and field tests * Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) * Quality of Service * Optimization models and algorithms * Energy-efficient networking * Security and privacy * Localization and tracking in wireless networks * Novel communication techniques * Visible light communication (VLC) * Software defined networking (SDN) * Participatory and urban networks * Underwater wireless networks * UAVs and Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) * Green networking Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submissions should be original, previously unpublished work not currently under review for publication elsewhere. All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. 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 using EDAS and strictly adhere to the respective page limit when typeset–including figures, tables, and references. Submissions that are not received by the stated deadlines or that do not conform to these rules will not be accepted, nor reviewed at all. We are providing a sample paper for download; please use this as a guide. The EDAS link to upload papers is available via http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/ Note that we will consider two different categories of papers: - Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages. - Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without completed 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, 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 workshop. 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. No-show policy -------------- Submission to the workshop implies willingness to present. No-shows will be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos, no remote cast) at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs of the workshop and only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.

Papers addressing important challenges in access/communication, energy, computing, security and user experience as it applies to wireless networking and mobile computing form the core of the conference. We also invite submissions on a wide range of mobile computing and wireless networking research, including but not limited to: * Communications for Embedded and Energy-Harvesting Systems * Edge Computing * Long-Range/Low-Power Wide-Area Wireless Networking * Low-Latency Networking * Machine-to-Machine Communications * Millimeter wave and Terahertz Communications * Mobile Web * Next-Generation 5G mobile networks * Visible Light Communications * Mobile Data Science & Analysis * Mobile/Wireless Research & Cloud Computing * Mobile/Wireless Research & Software-Defined Networking * Sensing with Radio, Light, Sound, and Vibration * Wearable Computing Successful papers will address real research challenges through rigorous analysis, novel system design, and/or real-world measurement and deployment of mobile networks, systems and applications. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. All submissions must describe original research not published or currently under review for another conference or journal, and if accepted, papers will be published in the conference proceedings. MobiCom strongly encourages authors to describe how they will provide access to well-documented datasets, modeling and/or simulation tools, and codebases to support the reproducibility of their methods. In addition to full research papers as described above, MobiCom https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018 also invites submission in the following three categories: Challenge Papers The conference invites submissions of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the wireless research community. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenge papers will be reviewed by the program committee and if selected, become part of the conference technical program and be published in the conference proceedings. Challenge papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must bear a "Challenge:" prefix. Experience Papers The conference invites submission of short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) that present extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operations of mobile systems and wireless networks. Desirable papers are expected to contain real data as well as descriptions of the practical lessons learned. The experience papers will be evaluated by the program committee, primarily for (i) richness of their data or experiences, (ii) inferences drawn or lessons learned, (iii) discovery of new problems, and (iv) their impact/potential impact on current and future mobile systems and wireless networks, as well as on society. Note that a paper that builds a system and presents a limited experimental evaluation is NOT suitable as an experience paper. Selected experience papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Experience papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers, and their title must bear an "Experience:" prefix. Verification Papers MobiCom welcomes contributions that seek to verify and/or characterize recent breakthrough results in mobile computing using rigorous experimental methodologies with the goal of extensively and thoroughly characterizing the operating parameters under which these results can be reproduced. Such submissions should be short papers (limited to eight pages excluding references) with "Verification:" as a prefix in the title. Selected verification papers will become a part of the conference technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Verification papers should be submitted according to the same submission procedure as full papers. Paper Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the MobiCom paper submission website https://mobicom18.hotcrp.com/ Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. Before final submission, you are expected to make sure that your paper complies with the following requirements. You are strongly discouraged from violating these requirements with the aim of including additional material: submissions that violate the formatting requirements may not be reviewed. You can visually inspect a page-by-page report of your paper format using the same tool as the submission system via a separate online form https://www.sysnet.ucsd.edu/sigops/banal/index.php After the submission deadline, we will use the same tool to check the conformance of papers. The format checking tool uses heuristics and can make mistakes. The PC chairs will manually inspect and possibly reject those papers with evident format violations. However, no paper will be rejected due to format violations without first being checked by hand. Any papers that do not adhere to the following guidelines may be immediately rejected: * Full papers: Contain no more than twelve (12) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than 12 pages will not be reviewed. * Experience/Verification/Challenge Papers: Contain no more than eight (8) single-spaced and numbered pages, including figures, tables, any appendices, and any other material, followed by as many pages as necessary for bibliographic references. Papers whose non-bibliographic content is longer than eight pages will not be reviewed. * Font size no smaller than 10 points. * Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. * Submissions must be in PDF (Portable Document Format) authors should ensure that they are compatible with Adobe Acrobat (English version). Any other formats, including Postscript and MS-Word, will not be accepted. * Fit properly on US letter-sized paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches). * Authors' names must not appear anywhere in the paper or in the PDF file. The PDF file must also not contain any embedded hyperlinks, as these may compromise reviewer anonymity. * Limit the file size to less than 15 MB: contact the PC chairs if you have a file larger than this limit. You may find these LaTeX https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/ 2018/files/sig-alternate-10pt.cls and MS-Word https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/ 2018/files/word-acm-10pt-on-12pt-7.0x9.25.doc templates useful in complying with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper checker) that your submission is format-compliant. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom18-pc-chairs (at) acm "dot" org Awards All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted regular papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, taking into consideration both the paper and the paper's presentation. We will also have a Best Community Paper Award. Among all accepted papers, the program committee will select one that contributes the most to the broader research community in terms of real data, or new software, hardware or other artifacts.

We are inviting submissions that describe significant research contributions to ICN as broadly defined. The fundamental concept in Information Centric Networking (ICN) is to provide the ability to access named information as a principal service offered by the network, evolving the Internet from today’s host based packet delivery towards directly retrieving information objects and invoking services by name in a secure, resilient, scalable, and efficient way. These architectural design efforts aim to address the challenges that arise from the increasing demands from accessing cloud resources, from accelerated growth of mobile devices and edge computing, from wide deployment of Internet-of-things (IoT), and from the need to secure the global Internet. Papers pertaining to these and/or related fields are specifically encouraged. ACM ICN 2018 will be a single track conference focusing on current ICN research topics, featuring paper presentations, posters, and demonstrations. Topics of Interest • Use of ICN for both legacy problems and novel use cases, including but not limited to: • Name-based access to fog/edge computing resources as well as to cloud services • Device and content mobility • IoT and CPS (e.g., industrial IoT, smart city, smart homes, vehicular communications) • Network layer, mobility and architecture: • Comparison of architectures, ICN styles and semantics • Interdependency of namespace design, routing, and resource control • ICN support for ad hoc and direct peer-to-peer communication • ICN for high-speed networking • Security: • Privacy, both generally and especially its interaction with caching • Trust management and access control • IoT and CPS-specific security considerations • Application layer, Evaluations and Testbeds: • ICN and application-layer messaging and stream processing frameworks (e.g., Kafka, Flink, QUIC) • APIs for transport, other higher-level abstractions, and their assessment • Experience from implementation, testbeds, and tools • Critical analysis of previous research in ICN, including reproducibility studies • Methodology and metrics • Translational Research: • Deployments of ICN • ICN for distributed computation, cloud-based services, edge computing, database queries, big data manipulation as well as ICN-mediated sensor/actuator control loops • ICN and in-network computation (e.g., NFN and related approaches) • ICN and SDN interactions • ICN-inspired applications and systems • Operations: • Business and Economic models and their effects on deployability • Management of ICN networks and systems • Caching and its interaction with I/O performance • Scalability analysis • Traffic Engineering • Implementation challenges and experiences • Line speed caching • Routing scalability • Congestion control • Zero configuration ICN Submission Details Full-papers can be up to 10 pages in length (excluding references), following the ACM SIGCOMM format, and should convey results of mature research. Short-papers can be up to 6 pages in length (excluding references): This format is suitable for less mature workshop-oriented work not ready for a full submission and for thought-provoking position papers. Submissions exceeding the 6 pages length will be considered as full-papers. Papers with doctoral students as first authors are particularly encouraged. Note that in order to ensure adequate citation of related work, extra pages of references are allowed (and encouraged). Submissions will be reviewed (single-blind review process) and evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The program committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference. A “best paper award” will be attributed from the program committee to one among the accepted papers in each of the Full paper and Short paper categories. The program committee may invite authors of non-accepted papers to present their work with a poster accompanied by a 2-page extended abstract. Please note that ACM ICN 2018 also has a specific call for posters, demos, tutorials, and panel sessions. To submit abstracts and papers to the ICN 2018 conference, first carefully read the submission policies, the conflicts of interest, and the formatting requirements specified on https://conferences.sigcomm.org/acm-icn/2018/submissions.php.

Also, feel free to broadcast/recirculate this notice to your colleagues and research network. The CfP is attached to this email, and more details can be found at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcmc/si/691674/cfp/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for PAPERS Special Issue on "Time-Critical Wireless Networks for Industrial Systems and Mobile Robotics" Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley & Hindawi) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission deadline: March 23, 2018 Publication date: August 20, 2018 Submission via: https://mts.hindawi.com/login/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recently, there has been increasing interest in areas like smart factories, process control, robotics, smart energy grids, etc. These entities can be regarded as complex real–life systems, composed of several collaborating computational agents surrounded by a suitable ICT infrastructure to effectively control time-critical physical processes. In particular, such a structure focuses on the intersection between the physical process and computation, where the former provides a feedback loop to the computational side, and vice versa. This kind of systems are often identified with the term Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To support this framework, the underlying communication infrastructure is required to provide definite and trustworthy performance, strong reliability and bounded latencies, while supporting self- healing and flexible network deployment. It is collectively recognized that high–performance wireless protocols will represent a breakthrough in future CPS, enabling the exploitation of an ad–hoc, rapid and adaptive connectivity while ensuring the required performance. Unfortunately, wireless communications are prone to disturbances and external interferences, and are often affected by non-negligible packet loss rates, random delays and jitter. Indeed, their actual low penetration in industry-grade control scenarios is mostly due to these long-existing challenges to meet the specific time-critical applications’ constraints reliably. A broad range of high–performance applications may benefit from the adoption of time–critical wireless communications, such as: industrial control and factory automation systems, mobile and cooperative robotics (e.g. robotic manipulation, vision), coordination and control of mobile computing agents (e.g. smart drones). In all these applications, the underlying communication network has to be able to steadily sustain a high sampling rate of the physical environment, a requirement that current wireless systems might not be able to meet. In the context of this special issue, several research areas reveals of paramount interest. Interoperability among heterogeneous systems and cost issues push toward the adoption of widespread commercial wireless solutions, such as IEEE 802.11-based ones, which are not specifically designed to support time-critical control applications. Efforts are hence imperative to dramatically enhance the communication performance of wireless systems in order to boost the actual sampling times in critical scenarios. This entails the design and exploitation of new protocols, architectures and algorithms to enable cooperation and control over wireless lossy channels. The development of effective real–time scheduling techniques are also envisaged for an efficient traffic management. Moreover, fields like coordination and vision over wireless are significantly impacted by these types of networks, and activities are required in this field to match the required and the available performance. The main aim of this special issue is to attract high-quality research papers addressing the most recent advances in all the highlighted fields. Also, we encourage submissions of survey papers summarizing the state of the art in any of the related research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Algorithms, architectures, protocols, and standardization issues of wireless communications in time-critical scenarios * Modelling and simulations techniques in time-critical wireless systems * Cooperative networking * Medium access control, error control and channel resource management in wireless systems * Ultra-reliable and low-latency wireless systems in distributed CPS * High mobility, energy efficient and self-powered wireless systems in distributed CPS * Full duplex wireless and millimeter wave technologies for real-time communications * New advancement of 5G for critical control systems * Wireless communication issues in digital smart grids, intelligent transportation and critical healthcare systems * Networking issues of cooperative and autonomous robots. * Basics, prospects, and trends in future networked wireless mobile robots * Telerobotics and teleoperation for semi-autonomous robots * Wireless networks for telepresence robots * Coordination and vision over wireless Papers are published upon acceptance, regardless of the Special Issue publication date. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lead Guest Editor Federico Tramarin National Research Council of Italy, Padua, Italy federico.tramarin(a)ieiit.cnr.it<mailto:federico.tramarin@ieiit.cnr.it> Guest Editors Andreas Willig University of Canterbury, Canterbury, New Zealand andreas.willig(a)canterbury.ac.nz<mailto:andreas.willig@canterbury.ac.nz> Zhibo Pang ABB Corporate Research, Vasteras, Sweden pang.zhibo(a)se.abb.com<mailto:pang.zhibo@se.abb.com> Stefano Ghidoni University of Padua, Padua, Italy stefano.ghidoni(a)unipd.it<mailto:stefano.ghidoni@unipd.it> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

We are looking forward for your submissions. Best regards, Marilia Curado Giacomo Tanganelli -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IoT-SoS 2018 Seventh IEEE Workshop on the Internet of Things: Smart Objects and Services http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018 <http://www.ing.unipi.it/iot-sos2018> co-located with IEEE WoWMoM 2018 June 12, 2018 Chania, Greece EDAS Submission Link: http://edas.info/N24373 <http://edas.info/N24373> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 12, 2018 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) is a novel paradigm which is shaping the evolution of the future Internet. 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.
