-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Deadline extended to Nov. 8 - SI on IoT - IEEE Wireless Communications Datum: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:56:13 +0800 Von: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> Antwort an: Dr Ying-Dar Lin <ydlin(a)CS.NCTU.EDU.TW> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG IEEE Wireless Communications Special Issue on IoT: Protocol Stack, Cross-Layer, and Power Consumption Issues Extended due date: November 8, 2016 Publication date: June 2017 With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, over 50 billion connected things in the world are expected by year 2020 and 40% of all world data will come from IoT devices and sensors (expected to generate a total of 129 yottabytes) - nearly reaching 90% of the world’s data created in the last 2 years. Things and devices forming IoT are a variety of microcontrollers (MCUs), special systems-on-chip (SoC), sensors and sensor networks. With this dramatic evolution in the types and volume of connected devices and the generated data from these devices, radio technologies need to accommodate the IoT device environments and characteristics, including different environments of “outdoor, indoor, urban, rural”, battery operated devices, form factors, and communication ranges. In addition, communication protocols should adapt to IoT service requirements for real-time and mission critical applications. Consequently, there is a need for smart radio technologies and communication protocols that support low-power and ultra-low power operation, multiple communication ranges, diversity of traffic ranging from 3 bytes of data for telemetry to HD video streams for surveillance, as well as indoor and outdoor environments. Some unique exemplary challenges include efficient service discovery between devices, sleep mode management, communication between devices, smart choice of the appropriate radio to use, application requirement, and power constraint. In this context, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, and Z-Wave emerge as short range and low power wireless communication technologies on one hand. On the other hand, cellular and sub-GHz communication technologies are also emerging within 3GPP and IEEE standards to allow for long coverage especially in rural environments but still facing low power challenges. Sigfox appears to provide a cellular system for devices continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. mmWave represents another opportunity for IoT communication and is being discussed within the 5G network framework working in higher frequency bands and providing very high throughput. Despite of all these radio technology evolution and advancement in communication protocols to satisfy IoT traffic and communication requirements, there is not yet a clear vision of how IoT radio and communication eco-system will look like by 2020 besides green communication. All these unique challenges demand great effort in academic, industry, standardization organizations, and governments. The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality articles that report the latest research advances on*Next Generation Wireless Technologies for IoT*. It will include various topics of interest, but not limited to: * Short, medium and long range radio access (RFID, NFC, DASH7, 4G, 5G, 6LowPAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, IEEE 802.15.4) * Smart sleep and wake up modes for IoT with efficiency and context awareness * Efficient transport and routing protocols for IoT standards and architectures (IETF, IEEE, ETSI, oneM2M, IoT6, IoT-A, ISA, ISO/IEC, IPSO, ITU-T, U2IoT) * Smart bandwidth utilization including network coding techniques for 5G * Wireless wearable and IoT communication architectures and systems * 5G heterogeneous wireless access technologies enabling low latency and low power IoT access networks * Standardization and regulation on mmWave usage in 5G and IoT * Edge networking in IoT including challenges for low power transmissions, security and privacy of cognitive radio * Near-zero energy and renewable energy radios for IoT and PHY/MAC layer techniques for long range low power IoT * Proof of concepts and experimental work on long range low power wireless technologies SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors should prepare their submissions in accordance with the rules specified in the Information for Authors of the/IEEE Wireless Communications/guidelines (http://www.comsoc.org/wirelessmag/paper-submission-guidelines). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript tohttp://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-wcm. The timetable is as follows: IMPORTANT DATES * Submission Deadline: November 8, 2016 * Initial Decision: January 1, 2017 * Revised Manuscript Due: February 1, 2017 * Final Decision: March 15, 2017 * Final Manuscript Due: April 1, 2017 * Publication: June 2017 GUEST EDITORS Abderrahim Benslimane University of Avignon, France benslimane(a)ieee.org <mailto:benslimane@ieee.org>(corresponding editor) siiot2016(a)gmail.com <mailto:siiot2016@gmail.com> Hassnaa Moustafa Intel, USA Milena Radenkovic University of Nottingham, UK Ying-Dar Lin National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, and the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to identify and explore novel wireless communication technologies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda. Scope -------------------- The workshop will consist of a keynote and presentations of research papers. The keynote will be given by Xia Zhou, Dartmouth College, USA. Full papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages. The workshop also accepts short papers of a maximum length of two pages, presenting preliminary technical results. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + mm-wave communication + magnetic induction communication + terahertz communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + molecular communication + communication through physical vibration + acoustic communication + new platforms + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks for novel communication technologies + applications for novel wireless communication methods Please ask the workshop chair if you are uncertain if your topic fits, email: domenico.giustiniano (at) imdea.org Important Dates: -------------------- Paper Submission (final deadline): October 28, 2016 Paper Notification: December 1, 2016 Organization -------------------- Workshop Chair: Domenico Giustiniano, IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain TPC: Carlo Alberto Boano, TU Graz, Austria Paolo Casari, IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain Giorgio Corbellini, Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Omprakash Gnawali, University of Houston, US Yusung Kim, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea Dimitrios Koutsonikolas, University at Buffalo, USA Zhenjiang Li, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Michael Brandon Rahaim, Boston University, USA Andrew Markham, The University of Oxford, UK Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Marco Zuniga, TU Delft, The Netherlands Ashwin Ashok, Carnegie Mellon University, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- NextMote: Next Generation Platforms for the Cyber-Physical Internet ------------------------------------------------------------------- a workshop hosted by International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks February 20. – 22. 2017, Uppsala, Sweden http://bit.ly/NextMote17 Call for Papers Aim -------------------- The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". This workshop would like to ask the question: what comes after motes and smartphones for the communication and computation needs in the world of IoT and remote distributed sensing. What will be the NextMote platform? Some challenges will remain: prolonging the lifetime of the network nodes, minimizing the power consumption, providing sufficient communications and processing power. What are the next challenges and how to meet them, for example, the challenges due to minimizing the size of the devices, increasing the number of nodes dramatically, and sensing large streams of data in resource constrained environment. How to survive extreme environments and applications while doing no harm, such as NextMotes on and in the human body, volcano, or space. The workshop raises these questions in the terms of novel hardware platform and associate firmware and software design and development, for prototyping and for end-user systems. Scope -------------------- The workshop will consist of a keynote, presentations of short papers and an open discussion session. The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding architectures, design methods or tools for the novel NextMote platforms. The workshop focuses on the aspects related to platform design in the context of NextMote. Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Active or opportunistic mobility for NextMotes: riding on humans, animals, drones, drifting + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen Submission Instructions -------------------- Papers must be submitted online via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nextmote2017 Formatting requirements.

CFP: IEEE T-SIPN Special Issue on Distributed Signal Processing for Security and Privacy in Networked Cyber-Physical Systems
by Arash Mohammadi 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Dear All, On behalf of the Guest Editors, I would like to invite you to consider contributing to the following Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks (T-SIPN) entitled "Distributed Signal Processing for Security and Privacy in Networked Cyber-Physical Systems". Details are as follow: GUEST EDITORS: - Arash Mohammadi, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, arash.mohammadi(a)concordia.ca - Peng Cheng, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, - Vincenzo Piuri, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy, - Konstantinos N. Plataniotis, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, - Patrizio Campisi, Universita´ degli Studi Roma Tre, Italy, SCOPE: The focus of this special issue is on distributed information acquisition, estimation, and adaptive learning for security and privacy in the context of networked cyber-physical systems (CPSs) which are engineering systems with integrated computational and communication capabilities that interact with humans through cyber space. The CPSs have recently emerged in several practical applications of engineering importance including aerospace, industrial/manufacturing process control, multimedia networks, transportation systems, power grids, and medical systems. The CPSs typically consist of both wireless and wired sensor/agent networks with different capacity/reliability levels where the emphasis is on real-time operations, and performing distributed,secure, and optimal sensing/processing is the key concern. To satisfy these requirements of the CPSs, it is of paramount importance to design innovative “Signal Processing” tools to provide unprecedented performance and resource utilization efficiency. A significant challenge for implementation of signal processing solutions in CPSs is the difficulty of acquiring data from geo- graphically distributed observation nodes and storing/processing the aggregated data at the fusion center (FC). As such, there has been a recent surge of interest in development of distributed and collaborative signal processing technologies where adaptation, estimation, and/or control are performed locally and communication is limited to local neighborhoods. Distributed signal processing over networked CPSs, however, raise significant privacy and security concerns as local observations are being shared by neighboring nodes in a collaborative and iterative fashion. On one hand, applications of CPSs are severely safety critical where potential cyber and physical attacks by adversaries on signal processing modules could lead to a variety of severe consequences including customer information leakage, destruction of infrastructures, and endangering human lives. On the other hand, the need for cooperation be- tween neighboring nodes makes it imperative to prevent the disclosure of sensitive local information during distributed information fusion step. At the same time, efficient usage of available resources (communication, computation, bandwidth, and energy) is a prerequisite for productive operation of the CPSs. To accommodate these critical aspects of CPSs, it is of great practical importance and theoretical significance to develop advanced “Secure and Privacy Preserving Distributed Signal Processing” solutions. The spirit and wide scope of distributed signal processing in revolutionized CPSs calls for novel and innovative techniques beyond conventional approaches to provide precise guarantees on security and privacy of CPSs. The objective of this special issue is to further advance recent developments of distributed signal processing to practical aspects of CPSs for real-time processing and monitoring of the underlying system in a secure and privacy preserving manner while avoiding degradation of the processing performance and preserving the valuable resources. To provide a systematic base for future advancements of CPSs, this special issue aims to provide a research venue to investigate distributed signal processing techniques with adaptation, cooperation, and learning capabilities which are secure against cyber-attacks and protected against privacy leaks. The emphasis of this special issue is on distributed/network aspects of security and privacy in CPSs. Papers with primary emphasis on forensics and security will be redirected to IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security and Privacy of distributed signal processing in networked CPSs. * Distributed and secure detection, estimation, and information fusion. * Security and privacy of consensus and diffusive strategies in networked systems. * Secure and privacy preserving distributed adaptation and learning. * Security and privacy of distributed sensor resource management in networked systems. * Distributed event-based estimation/control in networked CPSs. * Detection and identification of potential attacks on distributed signal processing mechanisms. * Application domains including but not limited to, smart grids, camera networks, multimedia network, and vehicular networks.
