Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement due to cross posting. CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------ Special Issue in Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) SI on "Recent Advances in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing" Submission Deadline: 15/11/2016 Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT) invites manuscript submissions in the area of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. Aim and Scope: ------------------- Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network clos! er to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, certain challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). This Special Issue aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance as well as to seek for novel contributions that help mitigating the corresponding research challenges. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this Special Issue include but are not limited to: • FMEC real-time communication interfaces and protocols. • FMEC efficient communication techniques. • FMEC and D2D communication • FMEC security and privacy issues. • FMEC pricing and billing models. • FMEC support for VANETs and MANETs • Cloudlet based computing • Identification of incentives for FMEC service providers. • The future perspective for FMEC: Challenges and Open Issues. • FMEC Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques. • FMEC architecture features and evolution. • FMEC resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability. • FMEC resources monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism. • FMEC resources allocation and management. • Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction. • FMEC virtualization. • Information Centric Networking (ICN) and FMEC • Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform. • Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of FMEC. • Security protocols in FMEC. Coherent list of topics: -------------------------- Papers must be tailored to the emerging fields of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing and explicitly consider recent deployments models, challenges and novel solutions. The Guest Editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the ETT guidelines http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2161-3915. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via Manuscriptcentral (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ett) according to the timetable below. Important Dates: ---------------------------------- Extended Submission deadline: 15/11/2016 Author Notification: 15/12/2016 Final Manuscript: 1/3/2017 Publication: Q4-2017 Guest Editors: ---------------- Yaser Jararweh, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan, Yaser.amd(a)gmail.com Periklis Chatzimisios, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece, pchatzimisios(a)ieee.org Ejaz Ahmed, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD. 20899, USA , imejaz(a)gmail.com Brij B.

The exponential growth of these technologies has made them large energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, these technologies will play a central role in the on-going transformation of our energy systems. They help measure, monitor and control energy resources, inform and shape human demand, and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers interact. The Eighth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Hong Kong from the 16th to the 19th of May 2017, is the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of smart energy systems, and in energy-efficient computing and communications. By bringing together researchers in a single-track conference designed to offer significant opportunities for individual interaction, it is a major forum to shape the future of this area.

While traditional QoS research areas continue to attract much interest, recent exploration of Internet of things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, cloud services, industrial communication systems, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in service guarantees with QoS, and its related metrics of Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Knowledge Base Quality or, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology. For more than two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. IWQoS 2017 sets the goal to continuing to be a premier symposium and an international forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS 2017 covers both newest theoretical and experimental research papers. Besides regular papers, this year, IWQoS includes the Work-in-Progress track inviting papers presenting new talent, risky ideas, and new subjects to be discussed in a creative and inspiring atmosphere of the event. It is a lively forum to discuss work among each other and with senior researchers, with a special focus on work in progress, upcoming research challenges, and new directions in the field of QoS. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Quality of services in Internet of things - Quality of cloud services and cloud computing - Quality of mobile cloud services and fog computing - Quality of protection, user experience, security and privacy - Quality of services in software-defined networking - Quality of services in information-centric networking - Quality of services in DTN, mobile and next generation cellular networking - Quality of services in information-centric networking - Quality of service in physical networks - System dependability, availability, resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks - Robustness against security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures - Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control - Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation - Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies - QoS parsing, identification and control - Quality of software - Quality of experience in multimedia networks - Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification - Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management - Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks, optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks - Energy awareness in communication systems - Design for future networks and computing systems with QoS in mind Regular Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be rigorously judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. Regular paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Work in Progress Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts not previously published or under submission elsewhere, offering new and unexplored, and, even untested ideas in related to QoS that present creative thinking, whilst at the same time opening new opportunities and research directions with high-risk-high-reward outlook. Doctorate students, and those with entrepreneurial ambitions are invited to present. Submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity, and potential. Work-in-progress paper submissions should be no longer than 5 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Reviewing will be double-blind for both categories of papers. Submissions must not reveal the authors’ names and their affiliations and should make all efforts to avoid obvious self-references and disclosures. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Accepted and presented papers for both categories, will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Papers for the two categories must be submitted electronically as PDF files, via EDAS. *EDAS submission: *https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=22762&track=81483 ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
