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.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Access | Convergence of Sensor Networks,Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things Datum: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 00:36:13 +0000 Von: shu lei <lei.shu(a)LIVE.IE> Antwort an: shu lei <lei.shu(a)LIVE.IE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS Submission Deadline: 10 December 2017 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Convergence of Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things. With growing attention from both academia and industry, industrial internet of things (IIoT), comprised of a multitude of connected devices, is supposed to monitor, collect, exchange, analyze, and further instantly act on information to intelligently change the industrial device’s behavior or the industrial environment (e.g., autonomous reaction to unexpected changes in production by effectively detecting failures and triggering maintenance processes). In consideration of this goal, the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT is recently identified as an essential component. Specifically, sensor networks are deployed to capture various data in IIoT. Meanwhile, cloud computing platforms are developed to store and process data powerfully in IIoT. Moreover, big data analytics tools are utilized to glean valuable findings from the massive data in IIoT. However, to integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT in a robust way, there are a lot of tough issues to be solved with respect to various aspects (e.g., framework, power efficiency, security, quality of service, etc.). Therefore, this Special Section in IEEE Access aims to solicit original technical papers with novel contributions on the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT. Review or survey type articles will also be considered. Submissions should focus on the convergence (i.e., the contemporaneous utilization of at least two of the three technologies – sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT). Submissions that work on the experimental implementation of the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT are especially welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data gathering in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Green mechanisms that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data communication in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Security techniques that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data computing in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Quality of service enhancement methods that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data fusion in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Novel applications that integrate sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT * Data mining in the convergence of sensor networks, cloud computing, and big data in IIoT We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: PPNA special issue on Network Coverage Datum: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 22:31:30 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers PPNA special issue on Network Coverage: From Theory to Practice Coverage problem has been a hot topic in the last two decades with the rising of wireless sensor networks. It is concerned with the quality of sensing about the targets of interest that the sensor network is deployed for. Extensive previous effort has been devoted to exploring coverage theory, which ranges from point coverage, barrier coverage to area coverage in line with the dimension of concerned targets. Though these theoretical investigations provide insightful understanding about coverage, there are quite limited previous studies reporting coverage application in practical scenarios. How much can we gain by applying theoretical coverage results from the practical point of view? Further, some recent results are provided about coverage problem in other research fields, such as cellular network and social networks. Is it possible to provide a general theoretical framework for network coverage given the understanding gained from sensor networks? The answers to these two fundamental questions would extend the boundaries of traditional sensor coverage and push the coverage research from theory to practice. The objective of this call is to bring latest thoughts and applications in generic network coverage, that help put together a clear map for this important area. The potential interesting topics of this call include, but are not limited to: ü Sensor deployment for coverage in sensor networks ü Sensor scheduling for coverage in randomly deployed sensor networks ü Coverage modeling in sensor networks ü Dynamic coverage in mobile sensor networks ü Joint optimization of coverage and connectivity ü Practical applications in sensor networks ü Coverage problem in varying fields ü Practical implementations in varying fields ü Studies on the framework of generic network coverage ü Optimization for generic network coverage The manuscript to this special issue must be original with significant contributions, and have not been under review in any other journals or conferences. Each submission must include a title, an abstract, a list of key words, and an introduction that summarizes the contributions of the paper, and will be reviewed according to the normal standard and procedure of this journal. When submitting your article, please indicate that you are submitting to the Special Issue on Network Coverage: From Theory to Practice (SI: Network Coverage).

In a WSN, a large number of sensor nodes are deployed and networked to monitor or survey targeted area, such that the interested data can be sensed, processed, stored and collected. Through WSNs, we are able to bridge the physical word and the cyber space, which composes the foundation for developing new smart applications. Many potential applications of WSNs have been exploited in the fields of environmental engineering, healthcare, industry, military applications, smart home, and green buildings etc. To enable the pervasive deployment of WSNs, the biggest stumbling block is the contradiction between the various functionalities demanded by applications and the limited energy supply for sensor nodes. Such a situation is getting worse, especially considering the increasing network scale. Therefore, in this special issue, we look at WSNs, mainly from the perspective of green computing. On one hand, we expect to design energy-saving (or –free) protocols cross different system layers, to prolong the network lifetime as far as possible. Specifically, to practice WSNs in real applications, we are supposed to achieve a tradeoff between system performance and energy efficiency, through adapting sensing/networking functionalities to energy budget. On the other hand, we can resort to seeking new techniques to sustainably supply energy to sensor nodes. For example, sensor nodes equipped with certain mechanisms can harvest energy from surrounding circumstance, or we can rely on dedicated devices to periodically charge the sensor nodes (if they are re-chargeable). The above threads (or the joint optimizations cross them) are of great significance to improve the sustainability and performance of WSNs. Therefore, it is highly worthy to extensively investigate how we run a WSN in a green fashion. Topics of primary interest are centered around green computing in WSNs, including but not being limited to: l Energy harvesting/charging and power management l Long-life sensor node deployment and topology control l Energy-efficient communication protocol design l Scheduling algorithms for sensor networks l Energy-efficient (or –free) sensing techniques l New applications of self-sustainable sensor networks l Data routing, processing and storage strategies l Network modelling and performance analysis *Schedule* Manuscript Due: August 15th, 2017 First Notification: October 31st, 2017 Revised version: December 15th, 2017 Final notification: January 15th, 2018 Publication Date: The 2nd quarter of 2018 (tentative) *Guest Editor* *Feng Li* (Corresponding Editor) School of Computer Science and Technology Shandong University Jinan, Shandong, China 250101 Email: fli(a)sdu.edu.cn *Shibo He* School of Computer Science and Engineering Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China 310027 Email: s18he(a)zju.edu.cn *Jun Luo* School of Computer Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University Singapore 639798 Email: junluo(a)ntu.edu.sg *Gurusamy Mohan* Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering National University of Singapore Singapore 117576 Email: elegm(a)nus.edu.sg *Junshan Zhang* School of Electrical, Computer and Engineering Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-7206 Email: junshan.zhang(a)asu.edu ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

In the CPS realm, humans and/or smart networked devices interact with and control the physical world around them through actuators, sensors, etc. “CPS is envisioned to transform the way people interact with engineered systems, just as the Internet transformed the way people interact with information." (US National Science Foundation). Today, the boundary between cyber and physical systems is blurring. Indeed, cyber devices that can interact with the physical world are on the rise. For instance, smart phones and tablets are all equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometers, GPS), which enable the vision of CPS by allowing human beings to interact with the physical world. Similarly, a multitude of CPS devices and applications exist in industrial, transportation, medical, home-security, building automation, emergency management, pow er, and many other systems, which serve critical functions in our lives. Given the popularity of the CPS applications, securing them against malicious activities is of utmost importance. Otherwise, malfunctioning and insecure CPS devices and applications can cause enormous damage to individuals, businesses, and nations. Therefore, the International Workshop on Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CPS-Sec) seeks novel submissions describing practical and theoretical solutions to the cyber security challenges facing CPS. Submissions may represent any application area for CPS.
