Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. Quality of service (QoS), related to transmission delay, bandwidth, or packet loss, has been studied in various building blocks in pervasive computing, e.g., different QoS mechanisms are presented for wireless or wired networks; the notion of computational QoS is used for parallel processing. The emerging pervasive computing paradigm, however, is application-driven and mission-critical and the existing QoS notions to do not really match. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) of sensor-originated information relates to the fitness of the information for a sensor-enabled application. Harnessing and optimizing QoI of information derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together information acquisition and processing systems that support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of smart, sensor-enabled applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The proliferation of smartphone has also enabled the possibility to retrieve data also by users on the move. This data collection paradigm is often called crowdsensing, or crowdsourcing, and builds upon the willingness of users to share data together, which eventually gets aggregated to provide novel services to the community. Although fascinating, and potentially disruptive, this paradigm inherently carries a set of technical challenges, at various levels and which should be studied by different research communities. At first, to make the data granularity spread enough, the crowd should be sufficiently large. This means that the application which runs on the users’ device has to be optimized, and should not interfere with the normal activity the users want to perform. This raises the challenge of having smart interfaces which communicate with the user only when necessary, along with the battery efficiency, which plays a crucial role being these devices almost always battery powered. Another technical challenge comes from the heterogeneous data aggregation, as data can be in many different shapes, formats, and labeled in different languages. Hence, automatically linking data that comes from different platforms becomes challenging, and again clustering techniques, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms have to be developed to perform such task efficiently. Achieving the desired “pervasiveness” of mobile applications, which in turns enable to retrieve data for the community, and the assessment of the QoI itself is key. The objective of this workshop (which is unique venue in its scope for the pervasive community) is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers in various aspects of QoI, QoE, QoS for pervasive computing and crowdsensing in network contexts including wireless, mobile and sensor networks. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of QoI and QoE provisioning in pervasive computing and mobile crowdsensing are solicited. Papers describing experience on real prototype implementations are particularly welcome. Topics of interest addressing the challenging joint aspects of QoI and QoE include: Joint QoI- & QoS-driven system design and architectural principles Network services (time sync, QoS) for target/event detection, localization, tracking and classification QoI-aware wireless sensor networking Energy-efficient data fusion, sensor fault analysis, sensor data cleansing for task mapping and scheduling Coordinated QoS for cross-layer, cross-application, and cross-node integration (including QoI-QoS integration) Query optimization for event processing in pervasive environments Data and query models for QoI-aware event processing Adaptive QoI and QoS under dynamic environments Trust, security, privacy, and data provenance issues in QoI and QoS QoI characterization, representation, performance metrics, and evaluation QoI and QoS for emerging pervasive computing applications Models of semantics and context in QoI-aware applications Market-based mechanisms to influence QoI Quality of Experience (QoE) issues for pervasive applications Value of information (VoI) and quality of action for sensor/actuator networks Prototype test-bed design, implementation, and field trials Energy efficiency in crowdsensed services and applications Protocols enhancement for crowdsensed services Social Internet of things Big data semantic Data science for crowdsensed services Opportunistic crowdsensed services Rewarding mechanism for crowdsensed services Crowdsensed testbeds and platforms Fog computing for IoT Heterogeneous data aggregation NLP techniques for crowdsensed services Machine learning techniques for data aggregation Machine learning techniques for data classification Privacy for crowdsensed data User behavior classification from public data User activity recognition User profiling Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only).

Fog computing emerges, as an alternative for traditional cloud computing to support geographically distributed, latency sensitive, and QoS-aware IoT applications while reducing the burden of data centers in traditional cloud computing. In particular, fog computing with the features (e.g., low latency, location awareness, and capacity of processing large number of nodes with wireless access) to support heterogeneity and real-time applications is an attractive solution to delay- and resource-constraint large scale industrial applications. However, with the benefits of fog computing, the research challenges arise regarding fog computing for industrial applications. For instance, how to handle different protocols and data format from highly dissimilar data sources in fog layer? How to determine which data should be processed in cloud or be processed in fog layer? How to achieve real-time responses and simultaneous data collection from large heterogeneous sources in industrial applications? Motivated by the above issues, this special section solicits original research and practical contributions which advance the use of fog computing in industries. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. Surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are also considered. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research topics and technologies: * Architecture features and evolution for fog computing in industries * Content and service distribution models for fog computing in industries * Caching, replication and relaying models for fog computing in industries * Real-time communication interfaces and protocols for fog computing in industries * Energy aware load balancing and scheduling on servers for fog computing in industries * Orchestration across computation, storage and communication resources for fog computing in industries * Theoretical and experimental evaluation of information-centric networks for fog computing in industries * Security and privacy challenges for fog computing in industries * Testing and evaluation tools for fog computing in industries * Fog computing for real-time monitoring in industries * The future for fog computing in industries: challenges and open issues ~ Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE- IES website: *http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics <http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics>*.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. Link: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/call-for-papers/special-i… Scope and Motivation: ---------------------- The rapid evolution of communications technologies together with the variety and potential availability of network access mediums and service providers have led to the emergence of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). There is a large variety of ITS networks spanning from mobile ground networks, e.g. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) to aerial ground networks, e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks. VANET is a kind of ITS networks where a vehicle is a connected car equipped with various communications technologies such as: Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and cellular networks (3G/4G). The purpose of VANET is to ensure a wide area coverage for all vehicles in scaling the network, thus achieving the always best connected paradigm where the best connectivity is offered to clients wherever they are and at any time. UAV is another kind of aerial ITS networks, which are used in military applications for target monitoring and engaging air to ground combats. It is also used in civil applications to explore inaccessible areas and deliver data to and from areas with no network infrastructure. There are many unprecedented challenges to realize ITS network; security and privacy is one of them since, on one hand, vehicles exchange sensitive data (e.g., accidents notification, coordinates of nuclear sites, etc.) and on the other hand they form a specific network with particular characteristics (frequent fragmentation and dynamic topology). This special issue covers studies and solutions that ensure ITS security and privacy. We encourage authors from the industry and academe to submit their original research works that will enhance our understanding and modeling of security, privacy, and attacks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Intrusion detection and response systems in ITS network. Intrusion prediction model in in ITS network Data Mining and Machine learning for IDS Cyber-attacks against ITS network Security metrics Secure localization in ITS network Lightweight cryptography technique Cyber-attacks modeling in ITS network Secure routing protocol Key management schemes in ITS network Privacy challenges in ITS Important Dates : ------------------ Manuscript Due: March 01, 2018 Acceptance notification: July 01, 2018 Revised paper due: Septembre 01, 2018 Final manuscript due: December 01, 2018 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: March 01, 2019 Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/ad-hoc-networks/. Authors should select “SI: SP&ITS2017”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Fog/Mobile Edge Computing for Internet of Things: Applications and Architectures for Real-Time Analytics Datum: Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:06:04 +0500 Von: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Muhammad Habib ur Rehman <habibcomsats(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies for cross-posting] The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new Internet evolution that involves connecting billions of internet-connected devices we refer to as things. With the explosion of things (expected to be 50 billion devices by 2020), cloud computing is challenged in meeting the data processing and computational demands of IoT applications. An emerging approach is to move computation, data, and control from cloud to the edge of the network commonly referred to as Fog/Mobile Edge (FME). The FME enables IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve scalability and energy efficiency of IoT devices, and provide the means for contextual information processing, as well as mitigating the bandwidth burdens of the network. FME provides immense opportunities and capabilities such as geographical distribution, geolocation awareness and device context, support for mobility of devices and access to multitude of network interfaces (from 4G and 5G to Wi-Fi). Such features help satisfy the real-time processing requirements of IoT applications such as flood monitoring, disaster detection and management (e.g., earthquakes), and patient care. However, the massive mobility of IoT edge devices, heterogeneity in communication interfaces, new and emerging communication architectures (e.g., LTE, 5G), emerging network technologies (e.g., SDN, NFV), security and privacy concerns, processing capabilities/limitation of FME servers, and IoT Big Data demand new methods, architectures, and applications in order to realize the full potential of FME for IoT applications. This special issue encourages high quality submissions related to the provision and development of real-time analytics-based IoT applications that exploit the capabilities offered by Fog/Mobile Edge computing. In particular, it aims to examine the prospects and challenges that arise in developing novel Fog/Mobile Edge computing architectures and applications that can address the challenges highlighted earlier. We also welcome quality review articles, which cover gap analysis between the state of the art and the state of the practice in the above area. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: - - New Fog/Mobile Edge computing architecture for data sensing and analysis - - Simulation and emulation of IoT application in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Algorithms and techniques for computation offloading from Cloud to Fog/Mobile Edge - - Context management in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Collaborative Fog/Mobile Edge computing in 5G networks - - Beyond LTE and 5G—new networking architectures, for example, SDN, network function virtualization (NFV) to support IoT applications - - Resource allocation in Radio Access networks to support data driven IoT applications - - QoS/QoE provisioning in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Secure network and service access in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Privacy preserved analytics in Fog/Mobile Edge - - Interference control, mitigation, and cancellation in Fog/Mobile Edge Computing - - Cooperative schemes and resource management for interference mitigation in Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - New Fog/Mobile Edge data-analytics IoT applications and experiences - - Open issues, challenges, and future perspective of Fog/Mobile Edge computing - - Utilization-awareness network schemes for Fog/Mobile Edge Authors can submit their manuscripts through the Manuscript Tracking System athttps://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/wcmc/fecit/.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Communications Magazine SI on Exploring Caching, Communications, Computing and Security for the Emerging Smart Internet of Things Datum: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 08:00:21 +0000 Von: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> Antwort an: Chang, Zheng <zheng.chang(a)JYU.FI> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS It is estimated that more than 50 billion devices will be interconnected by 2020, and the generated data traffic will grow by another 1000 times. The evolution of Internet-of-things (IoT) paradigm not only comes with challenges to the research and industrial communities on finding efficient solutions for massive connectivity, but also poses a profound opportunity to reshape the current IoT architectures by exploring the inherent nature of the huge number of smart devices with caching, communications, computing and security capabilities. Smart IoT cannot be simply regarded as an upgrade of current IoT by just adding to or replacing sensors/actuators/RFID tags in smart devices. It should be redesigned from the physical layer to the application layer in a bottom-up way. In the context of smart IoT, communication is essential to guarantee end-to-end connectivity. Together with communications technology, other features, such as caching, computing and security should be fully utilized to complement the current study of IoT. The resulting new structure, by utilizing these inherent features, may have a wider application over current infrastructure-based cellular networks and traditional sensor-based networks by adopting all these features. However, new features also create unexpected problems which can not be directly addressed through the traditional approaches designed for low-rate IoT systems. Thus, how to effectively utilize existing capabilities to address the fundamental challenges in smart IoT remains challenging. Despite the evolution of IoT, some fundamental problems are still open and require immediate investigation. This Feature Topic (FT) aims at providing timely and comprehensive overviews of the current state-of-the art in terms of fundamental theoretical innovations and technological advances towards exploiting smart caching, communications, computing and cybersecurity for smart IoT networks. Topics include, but are not limited to: Smart mobile computing, edge computing, cloud computing for IoT Smart content caching, pushing, and distribution for IoT Advances in technology and architecture for smart IoT Smart data collection, sensing, caching, processing, aggregation, communication, and analysis for IoT Software-defined solutions and network functions virtualization for IoT Efficient resource allocation, QoS, and QoE of IoT Novel authentication, access control and intrusion detection for smart IoT Novel cryptography algorithms for content privacy for IoT Experimental results, prototypes and testbed of IoT Energy efficiency and energy harvesting in IoT Emerging IoT applications in 5G networks such as ITS, CPS, smart grid, smart city, smart health, etc. Standardization of caching, communications, computing and security of IoT.
