-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE Cloud Computing: Special Issue "Connecting Fog and Cloud Computing" Datum: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:49:34 +0200 Von: Stefan Schulte <s.schulte(a)INFOSYS.TUWIEN.AC.AT> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Dear colleagues, Please let me bring to your attention a special issue in the IEEE Cloud Computing magazine that is of relevance to this mailing list: https://www.computer.org/web/computingnow/call-for-papers-cloud-computing-m… Submission deadline: 3 October 2016 Publication date: March/April 2017 In parallel to the rise of cloud computing, there is an ongoing penetration of business and personal spaces by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Such devices do not only act as sensors, but also provide computing, networking, and storage resources. Fog computing (sometimes referred to as edge computing) provides a conceptual approach for virtualizing and orchestrating these resources to process data. Fog computing makes it possible to move from centralized cloud-based data processing to a decentralized processing network that includes networked edge devices, allows for cloud offloading and multicloud deployment, and leverages federated clouds. A number of conceptual approaches to provide such solutions have already been proposed. Despite these existing theoretical foundations, practical adoption of fog computing is still at its very beginning. Consequently, this Special Issue of IEEE Cloud Computing seeks to address these needs. To do so, areas of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited, to: - Development techniques for applications that combine fog and cloud resources - DevOps for fog computing - Modeling approaches for fog and cloud computing - Fog-to-(multi)cloud solutions - Deploying and managing applications in the fog and in the cloud - Automated service and virtual resource selection and allocation - Virtualization of edge devices - Self-adaptation and self-optimization of fog services - Monitoring of fog and cloud infrastructures and applications - Resource management for fog data analysis in the cloud - Security and privacy issues in fog computing - Business models for fog computing - Standardization activities - Best practices, success factors, and empirical studies - New delivery models for fog computing application scenarios - Reports on use cases, for instance in connected vehicles, smart grid, energy harvesting, or home automation We are looking forward to your submissions.

Fwd: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks"

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: JSAC SI on "Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks" Datum: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 09:55:24 +0000 Von: Duan Lingjie <lingjie_duan(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Duan Lingjie <lingjie_duan(a)SUTD.EDU.SG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Sorry if you get multiple copies of this message] Call For Papers IEEE JSAC Special Issue on “Human-In-The-Loop Mobile Networks” Due to rapid developments of smart devices and mobile applications, human activities, usage behavior and perceived experience of users weigh increasingly on the performance of mobile networks. Scenarios include mobile communication networks, haptic communications for 5G, device-to-device (D2D) networks, and wearable sensor networks. In these systems, human users interact extensively with the system, and the user-perceived quality-of- experience (QoE) is critical. However, various important human factors, e.g., predictable and repeating behavior, have not yet been well understood and fully taken into consideration in current generation mobile networks. Hence, a paradigm shift is required for designing a new human-in-the-loop architecture for mobile networks, by actively learning, predicting, adapting to, and steering user behavior, so as to greatly improve system efficiency and to provide superior users QoE. Specifically, such an architecture includes the following main components. (i) Human behavioral big data: Large-scale data is the foundation of user behavior study and prediction. However, their formats must be carefully designed to reflect user features in multi-dimensions, the crowd needs to be incentivized for data sensing and acquisition, and one may also need to leverage distributed caching, computing and communication capabilities of smart devices for scalable and reliable data communications. (ii) Human behavior learning and analytics: Human behavior exhibits significant amount of predictability, and tends to have repeated patterns, e.g., mobility and usage patterns. Efficient techniques must be developed or tailored towards human behavior modeling and data processing, and must be able to handle the dynamic nature of acquired data and respect heterogeneous constraints in data sampling and processing. (iii) Intelligent control for human-intense mobile networks: Online learning-based control and predictive control techniques must be developed to enable seamless integration of data in system optimization. They should be able to exploit benefits of behavior learning, while handling the selfish nature of human users and randomness in human actions, with the ultimate objective of guaranteeing superior QoE in resource-limited mobile networks. In this special issue, we focus on fundamental problems involving human activities and interactions with future mobile networks. We invite submissions of high-quality original technical papers, which have not been published previously. The topics in this call include but are not limited to the following areas: • Crowdsensing and analytics of human user data • Human-system interaction modeling and analysis for mobile networks • Predictive control in multi-user mobile communication systems • Online behavior-learning and control in mobile networks • Local caching in human-intense mobile systems • Human-intense D2D communications • Resource allocation and optimization for 5G haptic communications Submission Guideline Authors please refer to submission rules specified in the “Information for Authors” section of the JSAC guide- lines (http://www.comsoc.org/jsac/author-information) when preparing their papers (submissions not satisfying the requirements will be rejected immediately without review). Papers should be submitted through EDAS (http://www.edas.info) according to the following schedule: • Submission Deadline: September 1, 2016 • Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2016 • Final Material to IEEE: January 1, 2017 • Publication Date: First Quarter 2017 Guest Editors • Longbo Huang (Lead) - Tsinghua University, longbohuang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn<mailto:longbohuang@tsinghua.edu.cn> • Lingjie Duan - Singapore University of Technology and Design, lingjie_duan(a)sutd.edu.sg<mailto:lingjie_duan@sutd.edu.sg> • Cedric Langbort - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, langbort(a)illinois.edu<mailto:langbort@illinois.edu> • Alexey Pozdnukhov - University of California, Berkeley, alexeip(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:alexeip@berkeley.edu> • Jean Walrand - University of California, Berkeley, walrand(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:walrand@berkeley.edu> • Lin Zhang - Tsinghua University, linzhang(a)tsinghua.edu.cn<mailto:linzhang@tsinghua.edu.cn> This email may contain confidential and/or proprietary information that is exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for receipt and use solely by the addressee(s) named above.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ----------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Section in IEEE Access Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols Submission Deadline: Nov 30, 2016 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Access at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access/ssa_ene… IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting and Scavenging: Technologies, Algorithms, and Communication Protocols. The operation of modern electronic communication devices rely on constant energy sources such as DC power obtained from AC sources via AC to DC conversion or small chargeable/replaceable batteries. However, in some cases, providing constant energy source is not feasible. Due to the advancement in technology, energy harvesting technologies can be exploited to power-up the modern day electronic communication devices. These energy harvesting technologies rely on energy sources naturally present in the environment, such as solar energy, wind energy, and heat energy. Moreover, energy can also be acquired from the human body from movement of different parts of the body such as walking, heartbeat, movement of arms, just to name a few. All these energy harvesting technologies and techniques may satisfy the need of energy for low power communication devices and may enable the charging of electronic mobile devices anywhere and at any time. In this Special Section, we focus on the most recent advances in the interdisciplinary research areas encompassing the Energy Harvesting domain. This special section will bring together researchers from diverse fields and specializations, such as communications engineering, computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, bio-medical engineering, education sector, mathematics and specialists in the areas related to energy harvesting technologies. In this Special Section, we invite researchers from academia, industry, and governmental organizations to discuss challenging ideas, novel research contributions, demonstration results, and standardization efforts on the energy harvesting and related areas. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: - Battery Recharging Techniques - Harvesting Technologies (Solar Cells, Peizoelectric, Electrostatic, Bio Fuel Cell) - Analysis of Energy Sources (walking, body heat, heart beat etc) in Body Area Networks - Solar Energy based Battery Recharging - Bio Chemical Energy Harvesting Sources - Bio Mechanical Energy Harvesting Sources - Ambient Energy Harvesting Sources - Wind Energy based Battery Recharging - Head Energy based Battery Recharging - Wireless Power Transfer - Inductive Coupling Methods of Energy Harvesting - Magnetic Resonance based Methods of Energy Harvesting - Energy Harvesting in Wireless Body Area Networks - Energy Harvesting in Cellular Networks - Energy Harvesting in Cognitive Cellular Systems - Energy Harvesting in Wireless Sensor Networks - Standardization Activities for Energy Harvesting in Communication Networks - Spectrum Related Issues for Energy Harnessing - Security and Privacy Issues of Energy Harvesting - Algorithms and Protocols for Energy Harvesting We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [Call for Papers] IEEE Network Special Issue on Vehicle-to-Grid Networks Datum: Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:58:08 -0400 Von: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> Antwort an: Yuan Wu <iewuy(a)ZJUT.EDU.CN> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: IEEE Network Special Issue on ------------------------------------------------------------- ** Vehicle-to-Grid Networks ** ------------------------------------------------------------- The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the developments and deployments of Electric Vehicles (EVs) (including unmanned vehicles), leading to a multidisciplinary research area called Vehicle to Grid (V2G) networks which cover power grid, communication networks, and transportation systems. From the perspective of power sector, V2G networks necessitate a careful management of the energy flow for charging/discharging a tremendous number of EVs, with the objectives of guaranteeing grid stability, improving energy utilization, and reaping potential arbitrage value. Meanwhile, as indispensable bridges for managing the EVs connected to the power grid and the associated energy flows in V2G networks, designs of efficient communication networks for facilitating V2G/V2V communications are indispensable. Such designs not only cover a wide range of important directions such as network infrastructures, cross layer communication protocols, signaling systems, quality of service! , and resource managements, but also need the integration of the emerging ICT technologies such as M2M (or D2D) communications, IoT networks, software defined networks. Moreover, driven by the growing security issues in cyber spaces, securing the operations and communications of V2G networks and protecting the privacy of EV owners will be of practical and timely importance. This special issue aims to provide a platform for sharing the recent research and development on V2G networks. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but are not limited to the following: * Network Architectures and Topology Designs for V2G Networks; * Cross-Layer Communications Protocols for V2G Networks; * QoS Provisioning for V2G Networks; * Transportation Networks and V2G Networks; * IoT and M2M for V2G Networks; * Software Defined Networks for V2G Networks; * Narrow-band LTE for V2G Networks; * Security, Privacy, Integrity, and Trust for V2G Networks; * Big Data Analytics for V2G Networks; * Energy (Charging/Discharging) Managements for V2G Networks; * EV-Mobility Modeling and Managements for V2G Networks; * Autonomous Driving Vehicles for V2G Networks; * Distributed Energy and Storage Systems for V2G Networks; * Testbeds and Platforms for V2G Networks. ------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Policies: Articles should be tutorial in nature.
