The ICN principle of accessing authenticated named data in the network enables several optimizations, such as network-layer data caching, flexible multipath communication and simplified mobility management. ICN thus addresses many important requirements of applications such as high-performance, scalable media data distribution and reliable, distributed Internet of Things networks. ICN is an active research area that includes specific topics such as network architectures, applications, transport, and caching techniques. Security is a particularly important topic since ICN enables new approaches with respect to confidentiality, access control and trust management that we want to address by this Feature Topic. Solicited topics include (but are not limited to): · Security architectures for information-centric networking (ICN) · Authentication and authorization for distributed caching environment · Access control mechanisms for ICN · Security in mobile ICN · Cryptographic protocols against internal attacks in information-centric network · Information sharing and data protection in ICN · Secure monitoring in ICN · Denial of service attacks prevention in ICN · Privacy protection in ICN · Privacy policy framework for ICN · Privacy in caching, naming, signature · Mechanisms to enforce privacy and trust · Privacy-preserving processing in ICN · Privacy-preserving data publishing on ICN · User privacy, data providers privacy and ICN application platform privacy · Privacy and security in ICN applications · Trusted computing platform · Trust models for ICN · Trust management for ICN · Copyright management and business models for ICN - SUBMISSIONS ---------------------------------------- Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology community. They should be written in a tutorial style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Muhammad Khalil Afzal <muhammad.khalil.afzal(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 3. Oktober 2017 08:06:00 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Springer JAIHC, Special Issues on "Cross-layer Design Issues, Challenges and Opportunities for Future Intelligent Heterogeneous Networks" #################### Call for Paper: Special Issues on "Cross-layer Design Issues, Challenges and Opportunities for Future Intelligent Heterogeneous Networks" Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (JAIHC), Springer CFP is available on : http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1617671/application/pdf/CfP_CDICOF… #################### The concept and operations of data communication are based on the integration of various heterogeneous wireless networks such as mobile communication networks (3G/4G/LTE/5G), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless mesh networks (WMNs), wireless body area networks (WBANs), etc.. These wireless networks are providing backbone of future generation communication technologies. Unique characteristics of wireless networks such as mobility, high error rates, and multipath propagations bring the new challenges to traditional TCP/IP-based protocol stack which was developed mainly for wired networks. The unexpected packet losses in wireless networks significantly degrade the networks’ performances. On the other hand, quality of service (QoS) is another challenge for the wireless networks which enable users to share multimedia data while moving in real time. For the efficient and controlled communications in the future generation networks, it is very important to design and develop smart and state-of-the-art algorithms. Even though the protocol architecture traditionally follows strict layering principle, the lack of coordination among the layers rather limits the performances of wireless networks. The optimization cross over various key network parameters including energy efficiency, mobility management, security, cooperation, and quality of service (QoS) is essential issue for the future wireless networks and the solution of it might be cross-layer design. The core idea of the cross- layer design is not only to maintain the functionalities associated to the conventional original layers, but also to allow coordination, integration, and joint optimization of protocols. The goal of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art and novel protocols and methodologies that embark on cross-layer design, issue and opportunities for future intelligent heterogeneous wireless networks. Topics of interest in this special issue include, but are not limited to: + Cross-layer design for physical, MAC and routing protocols + Cross-layer design for energy efficient MAC and routing. + Cross-layer design for mobility management. + Cross-layer design for QoS provisioning. + Cross-layer design for security and cooperation. + Cross-layer congestion control and scheduling schemes. + Cross-layer design and optimization in Internet of Things (IoTs) and smart grid. + Cross-layer strategies for wireless multimedia communications. + Cross-layer error and delay control. + Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity. + Complexity and scalability issues in cross-layer design. + Performance optimization for cross-layer design of wireless networks. + Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless networks. + Application layer adaptation-based on cross-layer notifications. + Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results.

02 Oct '17

================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth CoSDEO Workshop **Usable Security** https://cosdeo.github.io in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2018 ================================================ ## Important dates November 11, 2017: Paper and demo submission deadline December 23, 2017: Notification of acceptance January 12, 2018: Submission of camera-ready deadline ## Call The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems, algorithms or models for usable security. Recently, usable security receives a growing amount of attention in industry and from academia. This covers, for instance, novel pairing and security schemes for pervasive systems where identity cues are provided from sensor information as well as the discussion of novel sensor modalities or secure processing methodologies. The offensive side includes attacks on existing security mechanisms as well as entropy and statistical analysis of key sequences. It is therefore the goal of this workshop to provide a publication and discussion platform for this growing community in which fundamental problems but also sophisticated approaches are presented and discussed. Thus, we like to encourage practioners and scientists in all stages of their research, from first experiments to readily developed and evaluated systems, to submit their original work to allow a broad discussion with established field experts but also researchers relatively new to the field. Even if work is in a very early stage all submitted work must conform to typical scientific requirements; showing a good overview of the field and the specific area of the context of interest. If the paper is based on a technical system the system should be described and discussed thoroughly. Besides regular papers, we also encourage submission of visionary papers which need not describe completed research but contain ideas new to the field. These may be related to novel and convenient techniques for key generation and pairing, discussions on entropy and statistical properties of sensor- generated random sequences but also novel applications and designs of usable security systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Novel usable security mechanisms in the field of pervasive computing * Biometric and context-based authentication and pairing schemes, e.g., based on gait, audio, video, usage patterns, haptics, RF … * Usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features * User studies in usable security * Attacks on security schemes * Privacy functionality and design for ubiquitous systems * Fuzzy cryptography in security systems * Quantization approaches * Lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable and pervasive security * User experience in mobile security * Security schemes for sharply resource limited devices in Pervasive and IoT environments * Privacy and anonymization aspects in usable security * Novel interfaces fostering usable security * Entropy estimation and statistical analysis for keys generated from usably secure systems * Edge-support for usable security on resource limited pervasive devices * Lightweight security solutions * Biometrics on resource-limited devices * Ethics and legal considerations in usable security * Detection and prevention of attacks on usably secure systems * Authentication and access control for usably secure systems * Trust in usable security * Orchestration and collaboration between devices in usable security * Quantization approaches ## Organizers: Sascha Fahl, Leibnitz University Hannover, Germany Dominik Schuermann, TU Braunschweig, Germany Stephan Sigg, Aalto University, Finland

Yet, several studies have shown that smart devices are frequently co-located in proximity to at least one other device throughout the day, suggesting that devices can potentially collaborate to reduce the effort of resource intensive tasks, e.g., sensing, offloading, networking, storage, etc. However, merging the resources of multiple devices to work together is a tough challenge as it requires a common understanding of the context of each device. In addition, since smart devices function in multiple roles, understanding what really constitutes context becomes difficult as different types of contexts need to be modeled depending on the type of task. - Context information is critical in multi device setups, e.g., for the formation of collaboration groups, and for negotiating responsibilities between the devices. Any misunderstandings in context can thus be extremely counterproductive for the collaboration between devices. Consider, for example, a computational task, e.g., game puzzle, whose execution can be accelerated by dividing computations between two or more devices. To distribute the task, we first need to understand the processing capacity of each device to ensure devices with insufficient resources are not harnessed for this task as they would turn into bottleneck for execution. By detecting the context for harnessing collaborative and opportunistic resources in proximity, it is possible to reduce the cost of executing tasks in the constrained resources of smart devices, and to diffuse the presence of smart devices beyond their existing computing isolated behavior. - The goal of PerCrowd 2018 is to explore the impact of context in collaborative and opportunistic computing. More in detail, the goal of this workshop is to explore the use and effect of contexts on multi-device settings, whose computational behavior can be propagated within a community of devices for optimizing their energy and performance. - Original papers addressing theoretical, practical, and technical aspects of opportunistic and collaborative self-organization of devices are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of such applications and systems are particularly welcome. The submission of informative surveys of the state of the art as well as position papers on controversial issues is also encouraged. - Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Context-aware collaborative systems and applications - Resource extension of pervasive and mobile applications - Opportunistic context modeling - Pervasive computing applications harnessing multiple devices - Data-driven techniques for community formation - Self-organizing community construction and evolution - Crowdsensing and crowdsourcing models for data acquisition and fusion - Applications of crowdsensed models, e.g., incentive models, decision making models, and privacy models. - Infrastructure, architectures, and platforms for collaborative systems - Lessons and experiences of evaluating multi device context-aware systems and applications - Emerging applications for multi device environments. - - PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ - Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. - Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2018 Workshop Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Chenren Xu <chenren.xu(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 30. September 2017 22:55:46 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Special Issue on "Signal Processing for Internet-of-Things" in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Special issue on "Signal Processing for Internet-of-Things" The notion of “Internet of Things” has emerged as a last-mile solution for connecting various cyber technologies to our everyday life. It envisions a three-tier architecture that highly distributed and heterogeneous sensor data will be collected through a gateway and be made available to the Internet, and be readily accessible to a wide range of applications. Today, with an ever-increasing number and type of Internet-of-Thing devices, as well as the increasing demands being placed on the end user, sensing platform, and computing and storage infrastructure, more is being asked of engineers, designers, and scientists. Signal processing is playing an increasingly substantial role in this domain, including such general topics as analyzing, summarizing, and protecting signals and information exchanged or shared by connected things. The diversity of these problems requires a more collaborative effort from engineers and scientists from a diverse set of specialties – and yet, there is no one real domain for which to publish and communicate to this general community. The impact to society is massive, including such broad aspects as (i) energy efficiency and accuracy, (ii) security and privacy considerations, (iii) big data application. How will signal processing advance today’s autonomous networked sensor/device into inter-connected ones in an energy efficient, secure and privacy-preserving manner? How to leverage today’s pervasive cloud and network infrastructure to foster more intriguing applications with more demanding signal processing, machine learning techniques? There are clearly new and emerging challenges that need to be addressed. This special issue invites well thought-out tutorial-style surveys and overviews of recent research and development in Internet-of-Things, covering their infrastructure support and applications including edging and cloud computing, wireless networking, mobile computing, ubiquitous sensing, machine learning, security, and automotive navigation. As such, this special issue aims to cover a wide variety of aspects with a focus of the enabling and synergistic roles that signal processing plays. The scope of this special issue is interdisciplinary and seeks collaborative contributions from academia and industrial experts in the areas of computer system, wireless networking, embedded system, signal processing, security, and machine learning/data mining. Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to): - Energy efficient algorithm design - Video and audio analytics associated with the IoT platform - Machine learning, data mining and big IoT data analytics - Mobility and network connectivity in IoT applications - Wireless and mobile technologies in IoT connectivity - Security and privacy for IoT applications and systems - Cloud (internet, edge) support for IoT applications - Multi-sensor fusion IoT applications - Human factors and cognitive science in IoT - Autonomous, semi-autonomous and IoT control - DSP technologies in IoT - IoT in healthcare and other novel applications White papers are required, and full articles are invited based on the review of white papers. Articles submitted to this issue must be of tutorial and overview/survey nature and in accessible style to a broad audience, and contain significant relevance to the signal processing and its use in Internet-of-Things (authors of original research articles should submit instead to the appropriate journals or transactions). Submissions will be reviewed according to the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine guidelines, and should not have been published or under review elsewhere. Submissions should be made online at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sps-ieee For guidelines and information on paper submissions, visit: http://signalprocessingsociety.org/publications-resources/ieee-signal-proce… .

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Simon Duquennoy <simon.duquennoy(a)ri.se> Gesendet: 1. Oktober 2017 09:13:39 MESZ An: undisclosed recipients <simon.duquennoy(a)gmail.com> Betreff: [ACM/IEEE IoTDI] Deadline Extended — Call for Papers -- Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call -- ============================================================ ==================== Call for Papers ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 http://conferences.computer.org/IoTDI/ Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. ============================================================ ==================== Important Dates Abstracts due: October 6th, 2017 (AoE) — Extended Full papers due: October 13th, 2017 (AoE) — Extended Author notification: January 15th, 2018 The ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI) is a premier venue on IoT. In 2018, IoTDI will be held for the third time and topics span the entire ecosystem revolving around IoT, such as cloud and edge computing, data analytics, sensor networks, mobile devices, Internet architecture, middleware and numerous IoT applications. To reflect the interconnection of IoT with both cloud computing and cyber-physical systems, IoTDI is co-located in even years with IEEE IC2E and in odd years with CPS Week. Plan to submit your best papers to ACM/IEEE IoTDI 2018 (deadline 2017/10/6) and see you in Orlando, Florida, in April 2018, where IoTDI will be co-located with IEEE IC2E. A confluence of technological advances marks the advent of a new era. World data volume is growing at an unprecedented pace, much of it from embedded devices. Smart cities are expected to grow, fed by millions of data points from multitudes of human and physical sources. Cyber-attacks grow more nefarious, bringing down physical systems. Social networks are becoming ubiquitous, offering information on physical things. The separation between cyber, physical, and social systems is blurring.

They are now characterized by numerous smart technologies that include sensors, wireless standards, and data analytics. Referred to as Automotive and Aerospace Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), these CPSes are going through massive transformation for increasing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of their operations. These CPSes consist of interconnected systems of heterogeneous components, which are always on, can operate autonomously and interact with the physical world seamlessly through their sensors. For instance, a commercial aircraft or a driverless car includes thousands of interior and exterior sensors and actuators on board to provide more efficient and reliable services. Similarly, many new communication standards have emerged within the last few years to provide communication among these sensors and actuators for various application scenarios. Manufacturers can now collect huge amounts of data through these sensors to apply real-time operations and accurately determine any hardware/software/communication failures. Nonetheless, the cyberspace of these automotive and aerospace CPSes provides numerous opportunities for malicious actors threatening the security and privacy of the vehicles/airplanes and their applications. Unprotected or improperly protected systems can be easily exploited for malicious use. Indeed, the automotive and aerospace CPSes are under the constant threat of an increasing number of cyber attacks through the sensory or wireless channels, hardware, software, or actuators. Given the growing number of security and privacy threats to the automotive and aerospace CPS, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications in automotive and aerospace fields can cause enormous damage to individuals and businesses. Therefore, this special issue of Journal of Hardware and Systems Security (HaSS) focuses on state-of- the-art research in the security and privacy of automotive and aerospace CPS.
