The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities? What kind of education and training are required for citizens of such communities to take full benefits of the proposed architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make communities smarter? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Communities? In addition, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Community architectures and planning using WSN - The role of IoT in the planning of future Smart Communities - Smart management and services - Deployment of sensors and embedded devices - Smart homes, Buildings, Campuses, and Applications - The role of Cloud Computing in IoT-based Smart Communities - Big Data Analytics and Smart Communities - IoT-enabled devices and technologies - Real-Time data processing using Hadoop, SPARK, GraphLab, etc. - System, design, modeling and evaluation - Industrial applications of Smart Communities - Future Internet cohesion with applications for Smart Communities Guest Editors: Syed Hassan Ahmed, Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea.

Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, smart spaces, machine-to-machine communication, the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines.

Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, frequent nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Examples of challenged networks include deployments in rural and remote areas, networks to support emergency response operations, inter-planetary networks, sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, road vehicle networks, and, more recently, networks of micro aerial vehicles. The applications of challenged networks range from time-critical communications such as for disaster relief to delay-tolerant transmission in poorly connected regions or where censorship should be counteracted. However, challenged networking has also found many applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived, such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications, traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud/edge computing, opportunistic and participatory sensing, challenged IoT. The increasing availability of wireless communications in embedded devices as well as integration of technologies such as Wi-Fi direct on Android platforms and D2D (device-to-device) communication on general purpose mobile devices, will further push the development of challenged networking solutions. Challenged networking has also chartered new directions for inter-disciplinary research, e.g., applying findings from social networks and network science. This workshop builds on the success of the eleven previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005, and aims to stimulate research on the most novel topics of challenged networking research. This year’s edition encourages submission of theoretical and experimental work (including studies of real deployment), with a primary interest in the new directions of challenged networking such as crowdsourcing, mobile cloud/mobile edge/fog computing, IoT, WSN, CPS, mobile data offloading, and challenged SDN. The workshop seeks original work presented in the form of research papers describing new research approaches and results, as well as demo and poster submissions. Highly disruptive work-in-progress and position papers are also welcome, provided they focus on particularly innovative, out-of-the-box, solutions or applications for challenged networks. All papers shall be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and shall argue their impact and implications for ongoing or future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs), opportunistic communication and computing - Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems for challenged networks - Modeling, analysis, and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud computing - Mobile data offloading via challenged networks - Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing - Challenged networking in the Internet of Things - Challenged networking in Cyber-Physical Systems - Big data analytics in challenged networking - Software-defined networking in challenged environments - Security/trust/privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Energy-efficient communication in challenged networks - Information centric and content-centric networking in challenged networks - Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments - Network science methods for challenged networks - Network coding in challenged networks - Novel challenged networking systems (e.g., networks of micro aerial vehicles or underwater systems) - Real deployment and case studies in various stages of use - Disrupted scenarios for challenged networks (e.g., disaster relief and emergency management) - Daily use applications (e.g., mobile social networking, crowdsourcing, censorship evasion, sensor networks, smart cities) - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks. PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ________________________________________ Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages, and should adhere to the standard ACM conference proceedings format. Demo and poster proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer than 2 pages, for demos plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements (the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings). Reviews will be single-blinded. Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal.

Datum: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 09:19:51 +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 The 13th International Conference on Emerging Networking Experiments and Technologies December 12-15, 2017 Seoul, Korea http://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2017/ + Abstract Registration: Monday June 12, 2017 + Paper Submission: Monday June 19, 2017 (hard deadline, no extensions will be given) + Notification of Acceptance: September 10, 2017 ***Call for Papers*** The CoNEXT 2017 conference seeks papers presenting significant and novel research results on emerging computer networks and its applications. We especially encourage submissions that present novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics. The list of topics includes (in alphabetical order): + Big Data platforms with applications to network management, security, measurements + Content distribution and caching, e.g., CDN, peer-to-peer, overlays + Design, analysis, and evaluation of network architectures + Internet measurement and modeling + Innovative uses of network data beyond communication + Networking aspects of datacenters and cloud computing + Networking aspects of operating systems and virtualization architectures + Network control and management, including SDN, NFV and network programmability + Network, transport, and application-layer protocols + Networking aspects of ubiquitous computing, including Internet-of-Things and Smart Cities + Networking aspects of online social networks + Reliability and availability of networks, protocols, and applications + Routing and traffic engineering + Security and privacy aspects of networks, protocols, and applications + Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking + Wireless and cellular networks We are open to other contributions that stretch networking research outside of these topics, present new emerging computing trends, or potentially involve unfamiliar techniques. We ask authors to bear in mind that the main factor of interest for their work will be the implications of their results in networking. Potential authors who are unsure of the scope are encouraged to contact the PC chairs before submission. ***Submission Instructions*** CoNEXT welcomes submission of both long and short papers (2-column, 10pt ACM format). Long papers are the more traditional and complete form to present technical work, and should be no more than 12 pages (and up to 2 additional pages for references). Short papers are the preferred vehicle for contributions whose novelty and impact show the same technical excellence, and whose description fits within 6 pages (with 1 additional page for references). Short papers will be reviewed with a more open mind towards the scope of evaluation or breadth of topics compared to long papers. Note that position papers, critiques of networking research, and ideas that are not yet fully complete or evaluated are a better fit for the HotNets workshop. We recommend that authors check both CFPs before submitting. ***Organization Committee*** + General chairs: Taekyoung "Ted" Kwon (Seoul National University) and Sue Moon (KAIST) + TPC chairs: Phillipa Gill (University of Massachusetts) and Marco Mellia (Politecnico di Torino) 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.
