-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [ACM CoNEXT 2017 I-TENDER Workshop] CFP - Workshop on ICT Tools for Emergency Networks and DisastEr Relief, paper submission by September the 15th Datum: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 16:50:17 +0000 Von: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> Antwort an: Casas Pedro <Pedro.Casas(a)AIT.AC.AT> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ACM CoNEXT 2017 I-TENDER Workshop The First Workshop on ICT Tools for Emergency Networks and DisastEr Relief co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2017 December 12, 2017 Seoul, South Korea http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2017/#!/i-tender + Paper Submission: September 15, 2017 + Notification of Acceptance: October 9, 2017 ***Call for Papers*** Raising awareness on the provision of public safety services through the most diverse ICT technologies is a key opportunity and one of the most urgent challenges in the field of today's communication networks. Relevant scenarios include the natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires or floods that disrupt traditional communication infrastructures, or that displace large crowds, overloading what is left of the communication infrastructure. In these scenarios, people are in need of directions, advice, updates on the current situation and they often need to send out requests for help or to make their location known to rescue teams. Ideally, users should be able to communicate directly between themselves, even in the absence of a cellular infrastructure - a common occurrence in disaster scenarios. However, it is also crucial that solutions and platforms are developed to integrate emergency management data coming from multiple sources, including feeds provided by citizens through social media and crowdsourcing. The I-TENDER workshop will aim at capturing the research and technology trends that enable such awareness by soliciting contributions along three main directions. First, solutions that leverage the widespread availability of handheld devices (smartphone, tablets) that act as the prime contact point to alert the population of impending dangers and as a locating device for rescue teams. Secondly, data analysis techniques that take into account the pervasive role of social networks in collecting and spreading information and provide accurate checking using appropriate tools. And, finally, emerging networking paradigms that go beyond the traditional infrastructure-based model, rather leveraging disruption-tolerant models and device-to-device communication, such as Wi-Fi direct and LTE-D2D. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative solutions or applications for emergency and disaster relief. We also invite authors to submit papers presenting extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operation. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: + Challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) + Network systems for emergency scenarios (e.g., UAV-supported base stations) + Peer-to-peer and overlay networks for infrastructureless communication + Delay/disruption-tolerant networks + Participatory and opportunistic networking, computing and sensing + Security/trust/privacy topics in emergency scenarios + Social Media-based localization and data filtering + Local mobile clouds + Tools for building emergency and disaster relief solutions + Location and positioning in constrained scenarios + User interface and mobile application design for emergency management ***Submission Instructions*** Electronic submissions will be handled using HotCRP: https://i-tender17.hotcrp.com The workshop will accept both long papers and short papers. Long papers may be up to 6 pages long, while short papers may be up to 2 pages long. These lengths include all figures, tables, references, and appendices. Papers must obey the same CoNEXT formatting requirements outlined here: http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2017/#!/submission (with the exception of page length). The review process is single-blind. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers are required to present their papers at the workshop. Extended versions of papers of special merit will be considered for possible fast track publication in Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal. ***Organization Committee*** + Claudio Casetti, Politecnico di Torino, Italy + Marcelo Dias de Amorim, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France + Paolo Garza, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Dr. Pedro Casas CoNEXT 2017 Publicity chair PEDRO CASAS Scientist Information Management Center for Digital Safety & Security AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Donau-City-Straße 1 | 1220 Vienna | Austria T +43 50550-4104 | M +43 664 88256097 | F +43 50550-2813 pedro.casas(a)ait.ac.at<mailto:pedro.casas@ait.ac.at> | www.ait.ac.at<http://www.ait.ac.at> FN: 115980 i HG Wien | UID: ATU14703506 www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer<http://www.ait.ac.at/Email-Disclaimer> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal (IF=7.596) Special Issue on Towards Positioning, Navigation, and Location Based Services (PNLBS) for Internet of Things Datum: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 13:45:46 -0400 Von: Yuan Zhuang <zhy.0908(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yuan Zhuang <zhy.0908(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Towards Positioning, Navigation, and Location Based Services (PNLBS) for Internet of Things 2016 Impact Factor: 7.596 Scope and Objective In the past decade, technological advancements have facilitated the manufacturing of compact, inexpensive, and low-power consuming receivers and sensors for smart devices (e.g., GPS, WiFi, MEMS sensors, RFID, UWB, BLE, etc.). This arises the fast development of Positioning, Navigation and Location Based Services (PNLBS), and leads them become much broader than just providing a location or navigation. These positioning technologies and their enabling integrated systems have been promoted into the IoT world such as asset tracking, autonomous parking, virtual reality, context awareness, condition monitoring, geolocation, smart manufacturing, as well as smart cities. In fact, PNLBS have become indispensable to the future of IoT. On the other hand, IoT systems create limitless possibilities for PNLBS, due to their sophisticated cloud computing technologies, powerful big data analysis, and embedded multi-sensors. The aim of IoT architectures for provisioning of PNLBS is to design an accurate, low-cost, low-power, reliable, and scalable solution for cutting-edge applications. To achieve this goal, several challenges should be addressed, such as improving positioning accuracy, reducing the power cost, handling to track millions of devices as well as transmitting and processing big data. Therefore, the research is required to conduct on not only PNLBS algorithms, but also new IoT architectures and chip design technologies. Extensive research efforts have been paid either on PNLBS algorithms, or IoT architectures and chip design. However, research efforts on their combination remain open and require further investigations, such as how to accurately track millions of devices by consuming low power, how to use IoT technique (e.g., crowdsourcing) to automatically generate wireless fingerprinting database for positioning, how to design low-power positioning chip/system suitable for IoT architectures, etc. The goal of this Special Issue is to solicit the latest unpublished work on PNLBS for IoT. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Scalable IoT architectures for asset tracking Geo-centric cloud/edge computing in IoT Security and privacy in PNLBS Low-power chip/system design for positioning in IoT Crowdsourcing for positioning in IoT Machine learning for location estimation in IoT Multi-sensors fusion for IoT Wireless localization technologies (WiFi, BLE, RFID, UWB, etc.) in IoT MEMS sensors for localization and context awareness in IoT Advanced estimation theories for positioning in IoT Control and navigation technologies for autonomous system (e.g., UAV, driverless vehicle, etc.) in IoT Location based services for smart city (e.g., ehealth, smart home, smart transportation, etc.) applications in IoT Notes for Prospective Authors All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Towards Positioning, Navigation, and Location Based Services (PNLBS) for Internet of Things Datum: Sun, 2 Jul 2017 19:57:15 -0400 Von: Yuan Zhuang <zhy.0908(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Yuan Zhuang <zhy.0908(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *Scope and Objective* In the past decade, technological advancements have facilitated the manufacturing of compact, inexpensive, and low-power consuming receivers and sensors for smart devices (e.g., GPS, WiFi, MEMS sensors, RFID, UWB, BLE, etc.). This arises the fast development of Positioning, Navigation and Location Based Services (PNLBS), and leads them become much broader than just providing a location or navigation. These positioning technologies and their enabling integrated systems have been promoted into the IoT world such as asset tracking, autonomous parking, virtual reality, context awareness, condition monitoring, geolocation, smart manufacturing, as well as smart cities. In fact, PNLBS have become indispensable to the future of IoT. On the other hand, IoT systems create limitless possibilities for PNLBS, due to their sophisticated cloud computing technologies, powerful big data analysis, and embedded multi-sensors. The aim of IoT architectures for provisioning of PNLBS is to design an accurate, low-cost, low-power, reliable, and scalable solution for cutting-edge applications. To achieve this goal, several challenges should be addressed, such as improving positioning accuracy, reducing the power cost, handling to track millions of devices as well as transmitting and processing big data. Therefore, the research is required to conduct on not only PNLBS algorithms, but also new IoT architectures and chip design technologies. Extensive research efforts have been paid either on PNLBS algorithms, or IoT architectures and chip design. However, research efforts on their combination remain open and require further investigations, such as how to accurately track millions of devices by consuming low power, how to use IoT technique (e.g., crowdsourcing) to automatically generate wireless fingerprinting database for positioning, how to design low-power positioning chip/system suitable for IoT architectures, etc. The goal of this Special Issue is to solicit the latest unpublished work on PNLBS for IoT. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Scalable IoT architectures for asset tracking - Geo-centric cloud/edge computing in IoT - Security and privacy in PNLBS - Low-power chip/system design for positioning in IoT - Crowdsourcing for positioning in IoT - Machine learning for location estimation in IoT - Multi-sensors fusion for IoT - Wireless localization technologies (WiFi, BLE, RFID, UWB, etc.) in IoT - MEMS sensors for localization and context awareness in IoT - Advanced estimation theories for positioning in IoT - Control and navigation technologies for autonomous system (e.g., UAV, driverless vehicle, etc.) in IoT - Location based services for smart city (e.g., ehealth, smart home, smart transportation, etc.) applications in IoT *Notes for Prospective Authors * All original manuscripts or revisions to the IEEE IoT Journal must be submitted electronically through IEEE Manuscript Central, *http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iot>*.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP | IEEE Access | Convergence of Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, and Big Data in Industrial Internet of Things Datum: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 10:57:59 +0000 Von: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> Antwort an: Mithun Mukherjee <mithun.mukherjee(a)OUTLOOK.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] 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 behaviour 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.
