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.

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…>).

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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM ICN 2018 (Boston, MA, Sept. 21-23, 2018) Datum: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 14:55:39 +0000 Von: Lan Wang (lanwang) <lanwang(a)MEMPHIS.EDU> Antwort an: Lan Wang (lanwang) <lanwang(a)MEMPHIS.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking 2018 Call for Papers The 5th ACM conference on Information Centric Networking (ICN 2018) will be held in Boston, MA, USA, Friday through Sunday, September 21-23, 2018. 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. Submissions can be made through HotCRP: please go to the ICN 2018 Submission Site at https://icn18.hotcrp.com/.
