-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] ACM HotMobile 2018 Datum: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 09:08:17 +0900 Von: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: JeongGil (John) Ko <jeonggil.ko(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers The 19th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications (ACM HotMobile 2018) Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 13-14 February, 2018 Tempe, Arizona, USA ACM HotMobile 2018, the Nineteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions, report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion over a "6-page conference paper". We take a broad view of Mobile Systems research. This includes: Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness HCI issues related to mobile computing Security and privacy of mobile computing Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Wireless technology, as it pertains to mobile systems and applications. The deadline for submissions is October 12, 2017, 11:59pm EST. Acceptance notification will go out on December 15, 2017. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2018 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please contact the PC chair at arunab(a)cs.stonybrook.edu. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE IoT Journal SI "Wireless Energy Harvesting for Internet of Things" Datum: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 11:40:48 +0800 Von: Jun HUANG <xiaoniuadmin(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Jun HUANG <xiaoniuadmin(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Wireless Energy Harvesting for Internet of Things The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, and smart vehicles) have been playing a vital role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), which bridges the gap between digital and physical spaces. The powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility make mobile device networks a much more flexible and cost-effective IoT solution than traditional wireless sensor networks. However, the energy issue of mobile terminals poses significant challenges to the widespread use of IoT: not only the mobile terminals have short lifetime with the proliferation of mobile applications, but also the current networking and communication technologies are not adequately taking the energy efficiency into account. Therefore, the sustainable issue of IoT has attracted considerable attention from both academia and industry. Wireless energy harvesting and transfer technology was recently proposed as an effective mean to address this issue. It enables the mobile terminals to harvest energy from the ambient environment to prolong its battery. Although some forms of energy harvesting have been applied to WSNs, networking and communication solutions must be redesigned for wireless powered IoT with massive number of mobile terminals. This special issue (SI) will bring together leading researchers and developers from both industry and academia to discuss and present their views on all the aspects of wireless energy harvesting in the IoT system. In light of the increasing interest of these topics, this SI will focus on, but will not be limited to, the following subjects of interest: l Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in IoT, l Secure IoT with wireless energy harvesting, l Relay-based wireless energy harvesting IoT systems, l MAC protocols for wireless energy harvesting and transfer in IoT, l Economics of wireless energy and data transmission, l Energy Efficient transmissions and network architecture, l Scheduling and optimization of both users for energy transfer and of data packets, l Hardware design and prototyping for SWIPT applications in IoT, l Interference aided wireless energy harvesting, l Waveform design and optimization for wireless power transfer, l Optimal Control for wireless energy transfer and harvesting, l Wireless power enabled machine-to-machine (M2M) and device-to-device (D2D) communications, l Optimal wireless power transfer enabled IoT transceiver architectures *Important Dates* Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2017; First Reviews Due: December 15, 2017; Revision Due: February 15, 2018; Second Reviews Due/Notification: March 15, 2018; Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2018; Publication Date: 2018 All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted online through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline Extension to The 1st ACM workshop FAILSAFE 2017 Datum: Mon, 14 Aug 2017 14:05:12 +0100 Von: michael.breza04(a)imperial.ac.uk An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de -- Our sincere apologies if you receive duplicates of the call -- -- Deadline Extension -- ============================================== Dear Colleagues, The deadline for papers for the FAILSAFE workshop has been extended by one week to the 22nd of August, 2017. This workshop will be held concurrently with SenSys 2017. Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM FAILSAFE 2017. http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/failsafe/ We look forward to your submissions describing the challenges and struggles that you have faced and during real WSN deployments. Unique to this workshop, we will ask for submissions reporting the *failure* of actual embedded sensing system deployments complete with data where possible that can shed insight as to how the problems affected such sensor based systems and their goals. We want the failures, problems and glitches that wasted hours of researcher time; head scratching whilst trying to diagnose and fix subtle or unexpected bugs etc. This workshop focuses on the point at which the simulations and tests done in the lab are taken out into the field, and the previous assumptions fail. The overarching aim is to establish a process that encourages the refinement and development of a new science of sensor systems to enable reliable, maintainable deployments that last the life-times expected of them. The topic is important as the scientific problems that we face with IoT systems strike hard against the limits of our knowledge about how to organise, analyse, and adapt large, loosely-coupled, intercommunicating, and increasingly autonomous, distributed systems. This topic is timely because there is mounting pressure from various industries and government bodies to be able to place their trust in sensing based infrastructures for decision-making. This contention is supported by industry research showing the potential growth of the IoT sector. In this workshop we wish to: Share experiences of real IoT developments “in the wild”. Understand the differences between the theoretical performance of results and real +experiences. Map failure to causes and to explore the more and less obvious causalities. Produce a list of research findings and areas to prioritise for further investigation. The workshop scope includes: Real WSN/IOT etc. deployments that either experienced some, or ended in, failure, complete with data to show what failed and a detailed analysis of the causes of the failure and the lessons learned. Examples of a WSN or other sensor deployments that where either hacked or attacked in a nefarious way, with as much data and details as can be provided. Any practices or tools, along with methodology and description,that have evolved out of sensor system deployment failures that are used to prevent further problems and that can be shown to improve the success rate of Sensor System deployments. Privacy Issues: The organisers of FAILSAFE recognise that some information from deployments may have a sensitive nature or be under a non-disclosure agreement. In these cases, it is acceptable to anonymise any information as long as it does not inhibit the point or issues being presented in the work. If you have any queries about this at all, please contact the program chair Michael Breza (mjb04(a)doc.ic.ac.uk) for further advise and clarification. Important Dates: Submission Deadline, 15th August, 2017 Notification, 5th September, 2017 Final Version Due, 12th September, 2017 Workshop, 5th of November 2017

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline Approaching in 2 days : IEEE Internet of Things Journal SI on Theories and Applications of NB-IoT Datum: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 23:01:58 +0800 Von: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Xiufang Shi <xfshi.zju(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Theories and Applications of NB-IoT Recently, demands for low-power wide-area (LPWA) machine-type communications have increased dramatically. It is expected that LPWA connections will reach 2 billion in 2020, exceeding the number of traditional cellular users. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), a new radio access technology, has been released by the Third Generation Partnership (3GPP) for such demands. It could be deployed inside Long Term Evolution (LTE) carrier, and thus will not incur extra deployment cost, requesting only 180 kHz bandwidth of LTE physical resource. NB-IoT supports super coverage extension, massive number of connections and long user lifetime with low power/cost and low device complexity. With such prominent features, NB-IoT has become one of the dominating technologies in LPWA area, applicable to a large range of IoT scenarios such as smart meter, smart parking, smart home, smart tracking, e-health, etc. However, NB-IoT is still in its infancy, needing deep theoretical investigation of modeling and optimizing system performance. Also, emerging applications that can be enabled by NB-IoT and implementation challenges therein need further exploration. The objective of this call is to bring recent progress in theory, and especially applications of NB-IoT that may help put together a clear picture for this new area. The potential interesting topics of this call include, but are not limited to: ü Channel modeling of uplink and downlink in NB-IoT ü Throughput modeling of uplink and downlink in NB-IoT ü Resource management in NB-IoT ü Throughput optimization in NB-IoT ü Access control in NB-IoT ü Latency investigation in NB-IoT ü Joint optimization of NB-IoT and LTE ü Hardware design and optimization of NB-IoT ü System architectures for applications enabled by NB-IoT ü New application implementations by NB-IoT ü . The submissions must be original with significant contributions, and have not been under review in any other journals or conferences.

In most cases, vehicular accidents are caused by avoidable human error and improper driving practices. With recent advances in sensing technologies, self-driving, connected cars and autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more practicable. The sensor data contribution to the peer to peer (P2P) vehicle sharing system reduces occurrences of road accidents by the use of vehicle to vehicle (V2V) interaction, along with use of sensors for maintaining safe driving distances and pre-empting accidents. Sensor technology in connected cars also improves the overall driving experience by using vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) interaction. This enables warnings and precautions from a network of roadside units, functioning as stationary waypoints and relay warnings, precautions and information regarding availability of crucial services. Such information is particularly beneficial to users in remote areas where it cannot be obtained reliably through conventional communication channels. This Special Issue is focused on sensors and sensor systems for connected vehicles with emphasis on the whole range between modelling and applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Sensors for connected cars and autonomous vehicles • Emerging sensor technology for driverless cars • Sensors for Wireless On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) fleet management • Accurate Vehicle Location System Using Wireless Sensor Networks • Intra-Car Wireless Sensor Networks • Sensor interfaces for Peer to Peer (P2P) vehicle sensor data sharing • Sensor Interfaces for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) information exchange • Sensor interface compliance to communications protocols and standards, authentication and security requirements • Testing, evaluation and verification of sensor systems for connected cars • Safe, Secure and Infotainment Connected Cars • Anti-collision and alarming sensors, • Traffic regulation and transaction sensors • Sensor Data Processing • On-road video contents streaming delivery and traffic sensor management **Schedule** • *Submission deadline: July 15, 2017*, September 10, 2017 • Author notifications: October 20, 2017, December 15, 2017 • Final manuscripts due: December 15, 2017, January 20, 2017 • Publication: February 28, 2018 **Manuscript Submission** Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sensors by selecting "Sensor Technologies for Connected Cars: Devices, Systems and Modelling".
