-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: The 1st ACM workshop FAILSAFE 2017 Call for Papers Datum: Fri, 09 Jun 2017 13:38:18 +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 -- ============================================== Dear Colleagues, 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

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 • Author notifications: October 20, 2017 • Final manuscripts due: December 15, 2017 • Publication: February, 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".

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM SafeThings 2017: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 11:43:11 +0200 Von: Carlo Alberto Boano <cboano(a)tugraz.at> Antwort an: iti.announcement(a)mlist.tugraz.at An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de --- Our sincere apologies if you receive duplicates of the call --- =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 1st ACM Workshop on the Internet of Safe Things (SafeThings 2017) Co-located with ACM SenSys 2017 November 5, 2017, Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Submission Deadline: July 14, 2017 Paper Submission Deadline: July 21, 2017 Poster and demo submission deadline: July 21, 2017 Web: https://www.safethings.info/ =================================================================== Dear Colleagues, Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM SafeThings 2017. We enthusiastically look forward to your submissions on advancements in the safety of the Internet of Things ecosystem. As the traditionally segregated systems are brought online for next generation connected applications, we have an opportunity to significantly improve the safety of legacy systems. For instance, insights from data across systems can be exploited to reduce accidents, improve air quality and support disaster events. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) also bring new risks that arise due to the unexpected interaction between systems. These safety risks arise because of information that distracts users while driving, software errors in medical devices, corner cases in data-driven control, compromised sensors in drones or conflicts in societal policies. Accordingly, the Internet of Safe Things workshop (or SafeThings, for brevity) seeks to bring researchers and practitioners that are actively exploring system design, modeling, verification, authentication approaches to provide safety guarantees in the Internet of Things (IoT). The workshop welcomes contributions that integrate hardware and software systems provided by disparate vendors, particularly those that have humans in the loop. As safety is inherently linked with the security and privacy, we also seek contributions in security and privacy that address safety concerns. With the SafeThings workshop, we seek to develop a community that systematically dissects the vulnerabilities and risks exposed by these emerging CPSes, and create tools, algorithms, frameworks and systems that help in the development of safe systems. SafeThings workshop covers safety topics as it relates to an individual’s health (physical, mental), the society (air pollution, toxicity, disaster events), or the environment (species preservation, global warming, oil spills). The workshop considers safety from a human perspective, and thus, does not include topics such as thread safety or memory safety in its scope. Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following subject categories: - Verification of safety in IoT platforms - Privacy preserving data sharing and analysis - Compliance with legal, health and environmental policies - Integration of hardware and software systems - Conflict resolution between IoT applications - Safety in human-in-the-loop systems - Support for IoT development - debugging tools, emulators, testbeds - Usable security and privacy for IoT platforms - Resiliency against attacks and faults - Secure connectivity in IoT Our workshop will cover, but not limit itself to, the following domains: autonomous vehicles and transportation infrastructure; medical CPS and public health; smart buildings, smart grid and smart cities. Submission Types: We solicit two types of original submissions: - Regular papers for oral presentation (6 pages) - Technical posters and demos (1 page) Important Dates: - Abstract Submission Deadline: July 14, 2017 (11.59 PM AoE) - Paper Submission Deadline: July 21, 2017 (11.59 PM AoE) - Poster and demo submission deadline: July 21, 2017 (11.59 PM AoE) - Acceptance Notification: August 21, 2017 - Camera-ready versions: September 10, 2017 =================================================================== Organizing Committee: General Chairs: - Patrick Tague (Carnegie Mellon University) - Bharathan Balaji (University of California, Los Angeles) Program Chairs: - Mani Srivastava (University of California, Los Angeles) - Yuan Tian (Carnegie Mellon University) Poster and Demo Chair: - Houssam Abbas (University of Pennsylvania) Publication Chair: - Rasit Eskicioglu (University of Manitoba) SenSys Workshop Chair: - Xiaofan (Fred) Jiang (Columbia University, USA) Technical Program Committee: - Blase Ur (University of Chicago) - Xiao Feng Wang (Indiana Bloomington) - Xinyu Xing (Penn State) - Paulo Tabuada (University of California, Los Angeles) - Supriyo Chakraborty (IBM Research) - Muhammad Naveed (University of Southern California) - Yasser Shoukry (University of California, Berkeley) - Yuvraj Agarwal (Carnegie Mellon University) - Rajesh Gupta (University of California, San Diego) - Brad Campbell (University of Virginia) - John Stankovic (University of Virginia) - Madhur Behl (University of Virginia) - Houssam Abbas (University of Pennsylvania) - Insup Lee (University of Pennsylvania) - João Vilela (University of Coimbra) - Eric Wustrow (Colorado Boulder) - Richard Han (Colorado Boulder) - Lu Feng (University of Virginia) - Earlence Fernandes (University of Michigan) - Falko Dressler (Paderborn University) - Jie Liu (Microsoft Research) - Kay Roemer (TU Graz) - Nic Lane (University College London) - Fang-Jing Wu (NEC Lab) - Jyotrimoy Deshmukh (Toyota) - Saman Zonouz (Rutgers University) - Haixin Duan (Tsinghua University) - Yutaka Arakawa (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) - Ingrid Verbauwhede (KU Leuven) - Stefano Zanero (Politecnico di Milano) - Thorsten Holz (Ruhr University Bochum) =================================================================== -- .................................................

Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, cyber challenges. Built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. The 4th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2017) will be held November 8-9, 2017 at Delft, The Netherlands. We invite original contributions in the areas of intelligent systems and applications for the built environment. BuildSys particularly emphasizes approaches that improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, increase performance, and add novel functionality for improving users’ comfort and experience. BuildSys’ scope is broad, encompassing all systems within the built environment of the urban fabric, including not only buildings but also critical infrastructure systems, such as water, power, lighting, communications, and transportation that will make up the “smart cities” of the future. Submission Types: We solicit three types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) * Technical posters and demos will be solicited via a separate call (2 pages) Topics: Papers are invited in all emerging aspects of information-driven systems for the built environment.
